NEIL (Associated Press Sports Writer at the Dempsey Training Camp) White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga Lake, N, Y., July 12—Jack Dempsey may fight his way past Jack Sharkey and whip Gene Tunney for the world heavyweight title lost to the former marine last fall, but if he does, the public will not see him in action until he steps into the ring for battle, Jack has decided—with the aid of his new manager, Leo . Flynn— that he never again will work out in public befo! big match. And the reason is one of unconscious vanity. Shortly after Dempsey signed to battle Sharkey in the first step of a comeback campaign, the announce- ment was made that training ses- sions would be private. Then Jack reached an agreement to train at Tom Luther's hotel here und the de- cision was reversed. The public was admitted to the canvas walled arena on the shores of Lake Saratoga only a few times be- fore Flynn discovered that some- thing was radically wroag with the arrangement. And again the de- cision was ersed, this time for good and all, but to the disappoint- ment of Luther, who daily contract- «d headaches watching thousands of dollars in potential gate 1cceipts spy- ing on the workouts through holes in the canvas or from points of vantage on the blufis overlooking the ring. But the primary object has been attained. Dempsey, it appears, has a definite impression of what the public ex- pects each time he climbs through the ropes to face a sparrirg partner. The spectators expect Jack to flat- |ten his man with a punch, he be- {lieves. They go away disappointed |and believing the big fell)w's punch- ing power is gone forever if he doesn’t do it. Unconsciously Jack trl21 to do just that in his early workouts here. The result was that the teachings of Flynn, master of the boxing arts, went by the board when Jack saw an opening. He was just starting training and in no shape to try knockout punching. Naturally he missed frequently and the result w a doubly trying spectacle for his new mentor. YOUTH -AND SPEED T0 BE SHARKEY'S BIG ASSETS Jack Group of Boxers Including Britton Name Boston Boy the Favorite New York, July 13 (®—Youth and speed will be Jack Sharkey's blg- gest assets in his battle with Jack Denpsey at the Yankee stadium on July 21, a group of boxers have con- cluded after watching the ex-gob in his training sessions. Mike McTigue, Jack Britton, Phil- adelphia Jack O'Brien, Soldier Bart field, Jim Montgomery and others who speak of the fight game from experience, have seen Sharkey in his sparring antics and have ramed him the favorite. Sharkey's program yesterday lack- ed the fire and dash of th: previous day. Some of the Bostonian's camp members made him look bad - by sidestepping his rushes and landing often. A few of Sharkey's followers were fearful of the Dempsey punch while noting that the Lithuanian was boxing with his hands at his | sides. Oceasionally, however, Sharke Iblocked a series of blows with easc 1 [and then tapped his opponents with snappy right upperc ts and short lefts.

FRANGE THREATENS 70 COP DAVES GUP Tilden Convinced That Court Stars Will Be Hard to Beat New York, July 13 (M—Home from a two-months’ tour of Europe, William T. Tilden is thoroughly con- vinced that France's tennis stars will be harder than ever to beat in the Davis cup challenge round. “Big DBill” has a wholesome re- spect for Rene Lacoste, Jean Boro- tra and Henri Cochet, declaring that their game is sounder and more ag- gressive than in 1926, “One thing I learned abroad,” the former champion said after his ar- rival with his partner, Francis T. Hunter and other members of the American party, “is that the Irench are just as apt to defeat us as we are to defeat them. As for Ameri- ca's chances, much depends upon Bill Johnston.” Offering no alibi for his defeat by | Cochet at Wimbledon, the Philadel- phian said he was unable to explain the reverse that turned the sensa- tional match from a rout for his op- ponent to a Cochet triumph. Discussing the “threc mu: of French tennis, Tilden said that Cochet is best at the top; Tacoste the best day by day and Borotra the flashiest, “I am in than I was cetecrs” better condition mnow ast year,” Tilden said. That is due to three months of hard tennis. It is impossible to get in too much tennis." After attending a dinner given to the returning players by the United States Lawn Tennis 2 night, Tilden left for to pair up with Sandy the Rhode Island doubles pionship. Helen Wills was praised by the American players for her splendid showing abroad. Tilden said he had never seen a woman hit a ball as hard as the Californfa girl did the Wimbledon final with Senorita De Alvarez. Mrs. Molla Mallory the American champion who was eliminated at Wimbledon by Miss Betty Nuthall, was in the returning party. She will get into practice at once in defense of her championship and for the Wightman cup matches with the English women next month, Johnston Is Ready San Francisco, July 13 (P—Wil- {liam H.

Stanley Rule Wins [ Billy Wolfe was the king pin of the [Stanley ‘ule & Level baseball team lin its 7 to 1 victory over the New Britain Machine team last night on Diamond No. 2. Allowing only six {hits, no two of them in any single inning, Billy held the Machine bat- was robbed out of a shut out only through an error of Simons on third {base. He threw wildly to first base. | After.the first innning, the Newma- tics couldn't do anything with Wolfe speeding the.a over the plate. Ernie Anderson, ace of the |chine shop pitching force, was ‘ducce” in last night's game. anley Rule got him for 10 hits and bunch-1 them in the first, third and sixth frames for most of their runs. | Erny, doubly effective before last |night ;ainst the Rulers, seemed to be missing his usual stuff as the Ru- |lers whaled the ball out on cripples which Anderson was forced to serve |down after getting in a hole. Anderson walked four men and struck out four. Wolfe walked one and struck out eight. From the story lalone, the result of the game might {be deducted. The Machiners scored first in the {opening inning when Krause landed a fast one in the tennis courts for |two bases. Simonr took a grounder from Eric Anderson and heaved the |ball clear over Jack Argosy's head allowing Krause to bring in the New- {matics’ only run. | The Stanley Rule wasted no time in getting back this run and adding two more. Jervis walked, Thorsten- son singled and Schaefer tripled to |right field. Argosy singled and Car- |rozza singled to bring in a total of |three runs. A walk, a single and a double brought in t ;0 more in the |third. A single and double scored an- other in the sixth while walk, a stolen base and two infield plays served to give the team its seventh and last run in the elghtth inning.
