BACKERS GERTAIN " DEMPSEY 1S G00D Feel Sure He Gan Take Sharkey's * Measire White Bulphur Springs, Saratoga, N. Y., July 19 (UP)—Jack Dempsey, his managers and his trainers, de- spite all the rumors and all the pessimism which have marked stories coming from the Dempsey camp, are confident that Dempsey is going to come home a winner Thursday night when he rieets Jack Sharkey. Dempsey belleves he will knockout Sharkey in three rounds. His handlers guess all the way from the first round to the middle ot the fight. And they really believe it. The writer set out to learn, if possible, exactly what Dempsey and those closest to him really thought. It was quite a job to convince the state troopers—who guard Dempsey as he never was guarded before and permit few to see him—that it would be all right to let the corres- pondent go by. “I'm all right and I know it” Jack emphasized as we chatted. “It anyone thinks I'm a hollow shell, they are all wrong. T think I'll win in three rounds by a knockout, and i it has to go the limit then O1d Joe Humphries will raise my hand at the finish Because 1'm good enough to go the limit it T have to do it.” Dempsey, who I have known for a long time, was talking earnestly and not just making an haoic state- | ment. He meant it. Incidentally, this probably is a good time to say that all the stories about Dempsey’s left arm being in tad shape—the climax of all the ru- mors about the champion which have gone around in the last two weeks— Tave no foundation whatever.For in- stance, yesterday while it was true that Dempsey had his arm bandaged, he did the bulk of his bag punching with his left. Plainly he was getting | it ready to carry a lot of responsi- bility Thursday night. It's certain there is nothing wrong with it. Dempsey probably isn't the wild, fighting man who met Willard and Firpo but, as we talked and I saw him work, I couldn’t belp feeling " Jack has a lot left. Leo Flynn, Dempsey's manager, is ’as confident as Dempsey. “Just another little workout to- day and we are all set to go,” he said. “We are ready to fight now. We don’t need amy mora boxing. “What's more, we are winners, we know what we are doing and we can name the round.” “The champ in ame rovrd,” Jerry, the Greek, his rubber end chief valet said. “That stuff that the champion’s arm is hurt ia what you call the bunk. His arms are all okay, as you say if “The champion is a c'nch,” Gus Wilson said. “It will bs no more than a work out for him.” Wilson is another of tt.c official family who first came into American notice when he was trainirg Georges Carpentier before the “Battle of the Century.” “I've never bcen so sre of any- thing and to tell you the truth I have bet my salary on Dempsey,” Wilson said. “I could have told you the night before the fight in Phila- delphia that Jack was .ot right, but I difin't see you.” “Yiou may say the same thing in Rare photos of a rescue at sea, these.

Sin- clair and Charles Garvin Who are charged with extortion which ap- peared before the town court of Waterford yesterday brought out as witnesses two New Britain residents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew R. Malinow- sky. The Sinclair couple were charged with the acceptance of $50 as a | bribe from Roland V. Brantner on the grounds that they and Garvin were federal agents. Testimony re- vealed that Brantner had sold the trio liquor and that they had said ihat they were federal officers, | whereupon Brantner offered them | $50 for immunity from arrest. The | three accepted the amount and then |it is alleged descended upon Carl | Reynolds, proprietor of a New Lon- don restaurant and asked for $150 | for protection from arrest on the | grounds of violation of the liquor laws. Reynolds refused to grant | their reques. and later brought | about the arrest of the three where- upon they were summoned before | Judge Frederick N. Dimmock of | the Waterford town court for a | hearing. | Malinowsky's part of the testi- ! mony was based on the fact that he, in company with the Sinclairs was present when Sinclair made his al- | leged request for money from Rey- [ nolds. Malinowsky stated in court that he had met the couple through | the introduction of Detective Lewis | of the dry enforcement squad of (NEA Service, New York Bureau) |that aistrict and that he believed lund went to the bottom in 15 minutes. But all except one of her crew were saved. writer told Wilson. “If T do I will be crazy,” Wilson answered, and Jerry the Greck was | about to swing a punch at the same | moment. The Greek suggested that the | sparring partners should be called | into consultation, and they were. “Dempsey is sure,” Dave Shade | said. Then came Marty Burke of New Orleans, a big fellow with ears to show what business he has been in. | “Just a round or two" was Burke's opinion. “The champ is bet- ter than he was before the Firpo fight and fighters know that Demp- sey made his greatest fight against Firpo. “When 1 came to the camp this time I told Dempsey he was making out all over the place?” That's Burke's story and he will stick to it. In his workout vesterday, Demp- sey looked fine to the casual eye, and there are eyes expert enough to tell whether a fighter is so hollow a shell as to be unable to stand a punch. The stories broadcast today that his left arm had been injured by a punch from a sparring partner were denied in training camp and from way he used his arms in his training session yesterday there was no reason to believe that he was disabled. Leo Flynn said that -applications and bandages had been used nightly on Dempsey's elbows and wrist but he added: “I have been handling a lot of a mistake in swinging his punches. 1 |fshters and I always have used the told him he should punch short like | he used to do. He said he didn" think there was enough swing be- | hind them, &nd I told him that he was wrong because he never had felt one of his short punches. “He has been punching short since then and I know that Sharkey can't | stand up under them. And by the| way, you fellows who have been writing about Great Sharkey, missed | a point. Didn't you know that he used to fight under the name of Bat- New York Thursday night,” the Every Smoker Needs a Smoker —Get Him a Good One THIS Regular 0 SMOKER Regular $4.50 SMOKERS Regular $1.25 SMOKERS—TOMORROW ONLY.....6 —TOMORROW ONLY...$1.25 tling Siki and that he was knocked | same method to keep their muscles n shape” and his fighter, Dave Shade, confirmed the statement.

When told by Reynolds that the proprietor had been approached for the sum, Malinowsky gald that he had told the proprietor that the couple were neither federal nor state agents. Malinowsky is well known in New London. It was through his pres- | ence, Reynolds stated, that the Sin- clair party was admitted to the s, ing a friend of proprietor. Malin- owsky testified that he did ot drink intoxicating liquor nor did he know of any being bought on the night in question, June 25. The proceedings wére marred by constant battles between William Lewis, New London county detcc- tive, and Sergeant Nelson of the New London police department. The controversy hinged on the report that Lewis was jealous of Nelson's activities In the investigation of the case, and his arguments and protes- tation became so annoying as to al- most terminate in a physical clash. Prosecuting Attorney J. James Floyd of Waterford announced that he would obtain a warrant asking for the arrest of Lewis on charges of assault and k ~ h of peace. Previous to ves s day’'s outbreak, Lewis has had run-ins with William E. Jackson, deputy sherifft and county inspector for Windham coun- ty whg had been investigating charges of alleged grafting and ex- tortion by persons posing as federal and state prohibition officers. In- vestigations are being continued in sceking the guilty persons in that section of the state, the work being carried on by Detective Jackson, Sergeants Cavanaugh and Smith and Federal Agents Fitzpatrick and Congdon of that district. No charges of sale of liquor will be preferred against Reynolds, the prosecuting attorney stated.
