Jersey City, June 30.—Chairman Rob- ert L. Doherty of th eNew Jorscy box- ing commission tonight issued the permit for the Carpentier-Dempsey contest to the New Jersey athletic club and George L. (Tex) i The issaance of the permit and the statement of Prosecutor Garven that he will not present the complaint of the In- ternational Reform Bureau to the grand jury unless further evidence of a con- spiracy is presented, virtually disposes of all legal difficuties in the way of the contest. Commissioner Doherty issned the per- mE after he and Commissioner Lyons and Referee J. Harry Ertle had inspected the arena. Jim Savage, Phil Ehrhardt, Danny Sullivan. Jimmy De Forest and John | Williams were appointed referees for the preliminary_bouts. Doctors Waliace Pyle, J. R. Comoran and L. Hellstern were appointed as the physicians to examine the boxers before ther enter the ring. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts of the Intema- tiona! Reform Burean in a long letter to Governor Edwards made public today, demanded that he prevent the bout. Gov- ernor Edwards. before recelving the let- ter, stated ‘You may say that the fight will go on and will be conducted absolutely with- in the law.” In his letter Dr. Crafts declared that the governor would find himself in an awkward position if he attended the fight and it turned out to be a crime. Dr. Crafts also wrote Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, who has been invited to the fight as the guest of Governor Ed- king him to stay away. Following a conference today with Tex Rickard and police officials, Mayor Hague etated that 250 non-resident ticket speculators had been refused permission sell tickets outside the arena. Only men licensed by this city will be allowed sell tickets, Most connterfeit tickets that have been sold, the mayor said, were for the two sections reserved for guestg of the governor and the mayor. About 300 ushers for the contest ga- thered here tonight for preliminary in- structions in seating the big crowd. They will hold a rehearsal in the arema to- morrow. t th of the DEMPSEY LEAVES CAMP TODAY FOR JERSEY CITY ¢ City, June 30.—Jack Dempsey the last time in his traming v after a day of loafing and king around the house that has been home for eight weeks. ow Dempsey and his party wili Jersev City to rest until called Tex Rickard's arena to defend h's FavyV championship title ngainst seorges Carpentier, champlon of Eurcpe.

Dressed in an old pair of crous- ers, a silk ghirt and a tattered dark red sweater coat, he sac down for hours i: a swing on the porch laughing and smiling with no thought of a fight or what mignt happen to him Saturday afternoon The only time any mention of the fight was made was when a rain soaked mc senger came up on a bicycle and yell- pory “How long ar you going to let ‘Carp’ last, Jack?" ; “Wait for 48 hours more and ) will tell you,” the champion replied with a “T'll be an expert on the fight then my- self. See all these guys sitting up here? They think they are experts.” Dempsey remained on the porch not because he wanted to, but bécause of a heavy thunderstorm, which lasted into the night. Clouds began to darken the city short- ly after the champion returned frum a walk with Mike Trant, who is to be his body guard on Saturday, and the rain fell in torrents a few minutes later. Dempsey intended to go omt in ‘he old airplane shed back of his eamo for a round or two of bag punching, but the rain prevented this. One hundred or more admirers from Chicago, who arrived this morning on a special train en route to Jersey Cuiy, visited the camp in the afternoon for a round of handshaking. The party made the trip on the first fight special out of Chicago. Tt W called the “Woodland Bards' Specia after the famoud rooting club which sup- ports the Chicago White Sox. All was hustle and bustle inside the champion's house from breakfast time un- til dark. Trupks were packed and hun- dreds of telegrams arived ~ containing messages of good luck. Dempsey's three Belgian police dogs which have been with him during the train period, were tak- en to Jersey City this morning by Ber- nard Dempsey, the champion's brother, who motored with them in the champion’s limousine. CARPENTIER FINISHES HIS LONG TRAINING Manhasset, N. Y, June 30, Carpentier finished his long training this afternoon, breather a sigh of relief and said that he was glad it was over. He added that he felt better than he ever had before a fight. Despite a heavy rain throughout the day he worked hard and when he finished Tralner Wilson announced that the chal- lenger was on edge. At mnine o'clock g Carpen- tler, accompanied by Charles Ledoux, Paul Journee and Pierree Mallett, hur- ried off to the woods. They jogged for a while and when caught in a heavy shower found shelter in an old barn. Here Georgzes shadow-boxe: for half an hour and performed acrobat stunts, utilizing a rafter for his horizontal bar. Trainer Wilson then arr coats and the party camp. After lunch ved with rain, ran back to the Georges went to the zym- nasium and worked for half an honr. When he finished he jumped on the scales and tipped the beam at 172 pounds. He appeared delighted and remarked that this was the heaviest that he had ever been before a fight. Tomorrow he will exercise lightly about half an hour.

Yesterda: CHICAGO GRAIN. MARKET, Chicago, June 30.—Signs of liberal ex- Dport business had a bullish effect on the Wheat market' near the end of the. session today despite strike talk and notwith- standing better weather prospects, north- West. The close was firm, quarter cent of 1 1-4c net higher with July $1.24 1-4c to $1.24 1-2 and September $1.23 1-4 to $1.24 1-2 and September $1.23 1-4 to $1 3-4. Corn lost 1-2c to 1 1-2¢ and oats 1-28 to 1 1-8c. In. provisions the outcome varied from 2 1-2 decline to 10_cents advance. Weakness, which had prevailed in the Wheat market unti] the fina hour, was based partly on action of grain elevator employes here in ‘refusing to arbitrate wage troubles and partly on chances of cooler weather and rain northwest, where hhz})t had been feared on account of continued heat. Declining prices, how- ever, were apparently taken advantage of by foreigners, and it was said that sales to Burope totalled one million bushels. Moreover, Germany was said to be in the market with offers for three million bushels at ninety days' credit. The fact that country offerings were rath- er scarce tended also to strengthen the values in the late dealings. After senti- ment began to change in favor of the bulls, prices climbed steadily, and a trader who was often conspicuous in pre- war times was freely mentioned as a buy- er on the upturn. e Prospective heavy deliveries tomorrow on July contracts was a depressing fac- tor in the corn market. OQats declined in sympathy. Provisions averaged higher with hogs and as a result of buying supposed to be for European account. CHIGAGO GRAIN MARKET, Low. would go Georges | | que day morning, lunch about ten o'clock, then go by motor to New York, thence to Jersey City to the homeof a friend where he will remain until about two o'clock. He will then hurry to the arema in order to be in the ring by 2.30. Enjoying perfect peace in the abserce of visitors, Carpentier this afternoon spent three hours opening mail which in the last few days has accumulated to more than one thousand pleces. There were presents and, messages to good will from all corners/of the universe. The most interesting of these was a letter from French Indo-China. Evidently this was sent by a youth who gervéd with the French army during the war. The let- ter itself no one in the camp could translate, but they did understand a car- toon that was enclosed. This depicted Carpentier standing on the chest of a vanquished opponent, and a figur: in the cormer gesticulating wildly and say- ing something in Chinese. ““That's Descamp: laughed Georges.

DESCRIPTION OF GLOVES; EACH TO WEIGH 8 OUNCES New York, June 30.—The gloves which Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier will wear when they meet for the heavy- weight championship in Jersey City on Saturday are reposing tonight in a safe in the office of Tex Rickard. Those that the French challenger will don are a trifle smaller than the pair made for Dempsey’s fists but each glove weighed eight ounces when tested on the scales this afternoon. Each set is dark maroon in color with blue tape wrist lacings, the best of lea- ther and curled wool have been used in their manufacture. Carpentier has the choice of two sets, as the first pair received for him from San Francisco, Where they were made, was thought te be a trifie too large. As a result a telegraph ordér was sent for a second set which arrived teday. ‘While the French pugilist has not had an opportunity to try the second 'set, it is understood that both pairs will be submitted to hfm on Saturday for a fi- nal ehoice. Those made to cover the world cham- plon’s fists are both longer and broader than the palrs built tp cover Carpen- tier's hands. In other respects, how- ever, the gloves are identical. Much of the padding is placed In the glove tips where they fold into the palm of the hand. Other heavily covered sections include the thumb holes and the wrist gauntlets which reach well up the fore- arm. Across the ynder side of the | Walker defeated | =atchal |meet B. L C.
