All kinds of stories are going around as they usually do on the eve of a big hoavyweight fight. Some gay that the champ is working ‘‘un- der wraps" to influence the betting, and that he is doing his real boxing in private, He did that when he was training for his fight with Jess Will and Others believe that he Is out of shape, and that he has lost the pow-| er, strength and punch that he when he fought Georges Carp Some critics say that he working enough, and that he ts too confident. He boxed only seven rounds yesterday and went thru four minutes of shadow boxi: Others maintain that he is doing the right thing in not getting too quickly on edge. His face Is rather drawn and thin, and it seems that he might be in danger of getting too fine. Jack Kearns, his manager, has be- come indignant over the stories that he is not in shape. “He's a3 good as he ever was and he will show it on the Fourth,’ Dr, Kearns sald. Kearns {s also getting peeved at the managers of the fight “There is no head to the whole thing." he said, ‘The movie con tract has not yet been awarded, and no advertising or booking has been started. I'm willing to sell out our end for a song.”* The new management of the fight has not made much of an improve. ment.
