“THE OLD SOCK” UI K” LIKELY TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP WHEN JACK FACES GEORGES Both Men Pack a Punch, but Car- pentier Appears the Craftier and Speédier, While Dempsey Has Superior Physique. By Thornton Fisher. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 28.—i Jack Dempsey will be the undisputed Sphere will return to normalcy. Six weeks from now this mundane champion of the whole world or Georges Carpentier will be dailing away with the coveted crown and ready to accept the Presidency of the French Republic. Visitors here from South Bend are asking vacationists from Calicoon, N. Y., “Who will win the fi ight?” “Will the cyclonic Georges suc- Seed in his superhuman effort to fatten the dynamic Dempsey?” Or “Will Carpentier be tenderly carried to his corner oy his faithful Descamps?” ‘There is a surprising host who answer the former question in the affirm- ati t ward the pocketbooks to emphasize Georges may have said that he will erase Jack from the scheme of things, and Jack may have threatened to ex- terminate Georges, but just now neither man is wasting vitality throw- ing conversational bunk. According to the dope both men could enter the ring at once and render good accounts of themselves. However, five weeks must elapse before we'll know. Those who have visited Carpentier’s camp only leave with an enthusiastic opinion that Georges wil) bump Dempsey off. On the other hand, those who have observed the cham- plon solely leave with the conviction that it is dolossal crime to permit Carpentiaa to enter the same ring with him, But after you have seen them both work your convictions are susceptible of dizziness. “he “experts” themselves are not tossing loose prophesies, Jim Jeffries concedes Carpentier a good chance to win. But the majority favor Jack. And then follows a verbal barrnge conecrhing the class of men whom each has fought. Nobody wins when the gas attack is over. The “yes-and-no" person horns in about this time. Th. fan who be- Neves in playing a statement safe. eee, “Tf Jack is as good as he was at Toledo, when he knocked Will- ard silly in the first round, he'll win. On the other hand, if he's as pour us he was when he fought Brennan, hen lose.” I have visited both camps this week and watched the two men work. I am convinced of two things. The “hypnotic eye” is not going to win at Jersey City. The other fact is that the one who gets tapped on the but- ton is going to lose. . After all, it's the old “sock.” In this s scialty both men excel. In eve other respect they aro utterly unilke, Carpentier appears the craftier and speedier of the two. On the other hand, Dempsey’s phy- sique has stamnia stamped all over and while his footwork has not the 1D of his opponent's, ho will not be outdistanced by any great margin. There is a distinct whysique con- trakt between, the two. The blond, blue-eyed Latin and the black, shaggy haired, brown-eyed offspring of early Ivdlan-Trish ancestry begin to differ right there. Dempsey Can Scowl as Easily as He Can Smile. dack can scowl as easily as he radi- tes a smile. He can look wicked. We doubt whether Carpentier’s ex- pression can throw the fear of Provi- dence into an adversary. Carpentier’s arms do not impress one as possess- ing the hitting power necessary to drop an opponent. His shoulders do, however. The arms swing from them as if on pivots, clearly indicating his effectiveness at long-range fighting. He should make any one less than a champion look like a boob at this style of encounter. He holds his head low, with the face pointed directly at the man in front of him. His head, @houlders and body move with the @peed and suppleness of a feline. For the size of his. body, his lega re exceptionally large and the calves almost freakish in diameter. hese muscles help him to balance aigh on his toes and ‘ill maintain , but—and here is where the pin sticks—you don’t see any wild motions their convictions, working member of the two. He hooks with the left, but the right mauler goes out straight to its mark. There 13 @ pronounced snap to his movements, accompanied by a cer- tain gracefulness thas is pleasing to the eye. ‘The champion offers a direct physi- cal contrast. The arms, shoulders and body above the walst are all in- dicative of tremendous power. The forearms, which swing from the el- bows, are massive and contain the bulk of his TN T, They do not need to travel far to be effective. A foot or so is all the room they require to strike. Once inside and close, there Is little chance to escape catastrophe. Jack's hands fare large and heavy, very much like iron inside the gloves. The cham- ion also holds his head low, but, un- ike Carpentier, seems to be gazing at the oanvas rather than at his op- ponent. His heavy eyebrows uccentuate this iNusion. Again the contrast. Where Carpentier Is large below the waist, Dempsey begins to taper down. He walks around with a fast jerky step, lifting the heels high. In shadow boxing he moves back- ward almost constantly, while the Frenchman, advances and swings, varying his motions vith plunges. Carpentier’s Shadow Boxing is More Spectacular. Carpentier’s shadow work is far more mpectacular, Jack does not in- dulge in handeprings, broad jumping or burdiing. He sticks to the ancic: . and honprable rules handed down by past fistic luminaries. Iam writing of what I saw. Th activities will culminate at Boyle's Thirty Acres. The whole schaine of battle may change one second after the opening gong rings, but to date it looks like a long-range fighter against a short- range one. This is the tmpreasion one gets after erent, both «men work. Of the two, Carpentier is the veteran boxer. having been fighting, except during the war, since he was fourteen. On the other hand, the class of men the champion has toppled over represent a stronger, sturdier olibre of fighters. Another difference is this: The Frenchman detests crowds and Demp- sey enjoys them. Every afterndon Jack works in an arena capable of holding 10,000 spectators, and perhaps will as the days move toward July 2. Georges, secreting himself from curious eyes, makes it perfectly obvi- ous that he cares nothing for socia- bility, The barbed wire that greets the visitor at Manhasset menaces the clothing of the unwelcome stranger who knocks at the gates One camp is located on a forty-acre farm back of a Long Island high- way.

HE average racegoer to Belmont yesterday must have felt pret- ty mruch like the country boy who was taking his first slant at the Manhattan skyline from the deck of a ferryboat, If said racegoer didn’t feel that way, he acted like it. Like the boy who finally gets used to city ways, we're all going to get used lo Belmont. After we've learned the different short cuts and stairways and finish lines, and other featurcs that were peculiar and new to us yes- terday, there will be a just measure of praise for the biggest racing ground on the continent, There is ro gainsaying that it was a brilijant jopening.

Eternal’s withdrawal from the out of that event, for Mad Hatter had an easy time of it, and the race was very lacking in the spectacular quality that every one likes to asso- ciate with a handicap of its reputa- tion, Throughout all its many run- nings there have been few fajrer run races than yesterday's. The start was perfect, The surprise of the running came with Yellow Hand's performance. The Stoneham gelding finished with a rush and was going fastest at the end, though it is doubt ful if he will ever beat the winner at the weights. When Christopher J. Fitzgerald re- signed the position as Jockey Club starter to accept the managership of the Brighton Beach Racing Associa- tion, in the fall of 1903, he went to New Orleans in fulfillment of u contract, and acted as field despatcher there throughout the winter, After that was completed, he thought he was through. When the news came to the course yesterday that Mars Casstdy had been Stricken with acute indigestion and could not officiate, Major Belmont sought out Mr. Fitz, as he was known in his flag-fielding days, He filled the bill to a nicety. The starts were all first class, ‘Phat in the Metropolitan was as perfect as could be wished for. The difference between his effort and that of Judge Pettingill’'s, when that worthy was asked to function for Cas- sidy at Saratoga two years ago, was in bright contrast.

WILLIE JACKSON =; DEFEATS HANLON IN SENSATIONAL G0 Most Exciting citing Lightweight Battle Hereabouts Since the Memorable Walcott-La« : vigne Fight. r By John Pollock. The greatest lightweight battle that has been fought in this section of the country since Lavigne and Joe Walcott fought their sensational fits teen-round bout at Maspeth, L. Ie over twenty years ago, was the twelve-round battle between Willie Jackson of this city and Jimmy Hane lon, the veteran fighter of Denver, which wag contested at the Pioneer Sporting Club last night, Jackson was awarded the decision by both judges, but the only reason he re- celved the verdict was because he floored Hanlon twice in the tenth round with heavy right-hand swings flush on the jaw for the count of nine seconds each time, So fast did Hanlon fight trom the moment the beil rang in the opening round until it clanged ending the bat~ tle, that it looked in several of the early rounds as if Jackson would be knocked out. It sure was a luoky thing for Jack~ son that Hanlon is not a stiff pun er, for if he were, Willie surely would have gone to the boards as Hanlun landed inany swings on his Jaw with both hands, Jackson started off us he does in all of his contests by trying to knock * his opponent out as quickly as pos; sible, This time, however, Jacksua a fight His blows, great delight Jackson r who couid hooke sed every biow he knew to try to put Hanlon away, but juse when it looked as if Hanlon were in a bad way, the ame litte Denver fighter cut loose with a volley of leit and right-hand swings to Jackson s Jaw at close quarters that sent While inst the ropes and forced him to clinch. In the fourth round the men bat tled so hard in the last thirty se onds exchanging ght swings to the fa and juw at close quarters in Jackson's corner that the specta- tors yelled like mad men. ‘The tenth round was a bad one for Hanlon, After the men had slugged each other at close quarters, Jackson suddenly shot across a wicked right swing flush on Hanlon’s jaw. Han- lon immediately sank to the floor ang Referee Haley began to count over him, At the yell of nine he staggered to his feet, Jackson sailed into bim d drove in blows to his face and jaw whioh sent him against the ropes. Hanlon was very weak and Jackson again succeeded in getting weross another right to Hanlon’s jaw, dropping him to the floor for the seo ond time. ect up ad Although grogey, Hanlon the count of nine, the bell coming te his rescue. Hanlon got in many a st? tow to Jacl round and § his wind while Jackson showed signs of weakening. Jackson slugged Hanlon for keeps in the twelfth and last round, bat ai- though he had him in a bad way, Jackson was unable to stop the gam Denver lad. Hanlon was given an ovation when he left the ring for his gameness and fast fighting. In the other three bouts, Jimmy Darcy beat Dave Medar in two rounds, Augie Ratner beat Jim Montgomery, the referee stopping tho bout in the eighth round, and Babe Herman of California got the de- cision over Jimmy Powers of Ho~ boken, after an interesting twelve- round go.
