HE frst thing I saw at Georges Carpentier’s camp was a barbed wire entanglement strung along the top of @ rail fence surrounding his It was an old, weathered rail quarters. was brand new. On the outside, looking Wa'ting patiently for a glimps tn, was t the 4 small crowd of curious fight fans French champion. It was Carpentier’s open day, but no visitors were allowed in until the Frenchman was ready to perform, “You see,” explained Manager Descamps, as he escorted me through fhe trocha and back to the barn where Georges was beginning to work, “in France, in England, here, Georges bas all the time much interference by efowds. They come to see him at 7 Tt le impossible! So I have close the thi.g—to beat Dempsey. We are not "Makes him nervous to h “No, no, never nervous,” exclaim Descamps. ‘Tired, that is all.

Besides, we always plan the fight for Georges to win quickly and surely. You know his last fights, how he knocked Wells out with few punches, and how quickly he knocked out Beckett, who was very strong and big. That was not done without platining. “If now we have planned how to beat Dempsey we surely do not care to let everyone watch while Georges is perfecting his attack. When it is done, then we shall be very pleased to oblige everybody, but—for the pre- sent—Impossible!" And Descamps shrugged his shoulders and shook his head and smiled. PLANS HIS FIGHT. So that's the kernel in the nut. ntier has already made his study of Dempsey's fighting methods, and like a good general—a Foch of the ring, has planned the counter- _MMlzoke on the success of which will rest his destiny. Carpentier has three days’ work a week in absolute privacy, with no one present but Descamps and his train- {ng staff. It is rumored that on these three days his boxing !s radically dif- ferent from the boxing on the “open” s, when the crowd looks on. et T'll say it is only a rumor. I've met no one who has seen the private workouts, and I have refrained from trying to pry into any of the French- man's training camp secrets, although J have spent several days with him during the past two weeks. You don't go to Princeton and ask to be told the football team's signais or to be tipped off to the strategical plays developed at the last moment for use against Yale, It isn't done. And this French lad, who has come champion we ever knew, 1s entitled to any fair advantage that his keen brain and the quick wit of his astute manager can give him. * And now to Carpentier, I'l] say here that I never was more impressed with any fighter’s calm determination than I have been with the French- man’s. There is no doubt that Car- tier has given every thought to winning this battle from the moment the match was made. When I first saw For His Figh Marty Burke Discovers by Acci- dent Champion Works Out Un- observed in Hangar Back of Camp. ATLANTIC CITY, June 4.—Quite by accident it has been discovered tut Jack Dempsey has been training on the sly in the big hangar back of his camp, He has been indulging in mecret voxing with w’eddy Hayes, his trainer, away from the gaze of the regular gung of camp followers, This was discovered by Marty Burke of New Orleans when he started for the ring in the hangar to practise up for to-day’s workout with the champion, When Burke and those who accom. ied him reached the hangar they found the ring practically littered with stuffing that had unquestionably come trom mpsey's seventy-five-pound punching bag that is suspended over Ske looked first at the stutfing ered about and then up at the » A rip six inches lon the bag disclosed Robs of felt and the canvas below, , because of the work done 9 open-air arena, has not been in use for some time.

That he is in to meet a champion extra. ordinary among champions apparent ly doesn't worry him in the least. “Why, Georges,” I said as I sat in his dressing room watching whtle trainer Wilson carefully rubbed him down after the workout, “you look fit to fight in a week." A MODEST PREDICTION. “Not in a week—in two weeks,” laughed Carpentier. “I have a month. It is more than I need, From the day I signed the contract I have trained carefully and lived with but one thought—-to beat Dempsey. When 1 left France I was ready. I need only a little more practice and a little road work in the last few days. “My care now will be not to over- train. I cnjoy it here.

Mair, 21-Year-Old Star From Shackamaxon Club, and J. E. Hale of Upper Montclair, a Year Older, Clash To-Day at the Canoe Brook Club. By William Abbott PTER Jerry Travers, Simpson Dean, Bill Reekie and other favorites yanked down thelr colors, two young unknowns came through to compete in the 36-hole fimais to-day for the Jersey State golf title, at the Canoe Brook Club. They are Newton C. Mair, twenty- one-year-old star from the Shacka- maxon Club, and J, E. Hale of Upper Montclair, who is twenty-two. Mair and Hale weathered the greatest series of upsets that ever marked a Jersey championship. They survived a starting field of 129. Their feat is only another bit of evi- dence of how many sharp-shvoting lads are developing on the links and the increasing difficulty of the older players to retain their slipping hon- ors. Mair is a stockily built youngster with powerful hands and wrists that apply tremendous difference to the ball. His driving is very long, al- though at times erratic. His’ tron shots are negotiated with a crisp movement that recalls memories of little Johnny McDermott. In other respects Mair reminds one of tbe open champion of ten years agu. He plays his approaches holdly to the pin and his putts are always travelling for the cup. They're never short, which is ample proof of a nervy golfer. The Shackamaxon star isn't satisfied to play safe; he's out for any chance, no matter how laz- ardous. Mair’s progress in the Jersey tour- nament at the Canoe Brook is re- markayle if only for the fact that it is the first meet he ever competed in. Two years ago he was a caddie at the Hydewood Club at Plainfield, a nine-hole course, He established all the records for that course and |joined the Schackamaxon Club at Weatfield, where he quickly displayed his supremacy by winning the club championship @nd trimming visiting stars who underrated his ability. J. E. Hale, like Mair, has had a meteoric rise. He is tall, strongly constructed and pokes out Gives for the traditional mile. And Hale is a sticker In a tough match. The harder ing the better he xets ence has been confined to his home club at Upper Montclair, where his tilts with Travers and Reekis have been valuable training. Jerry Travers, former national tile holder, only. came. part of the way back in his effort to regain his old jaurels. Travers was the uni- versal choice of the gallery, and for a while the veteran had a goud chance to land in the finals, but Jerry ma- terially weakend toward the finish of his battle with Hale in the semi-finals ‘and Hale is no opponent to wenken to, Travers was uncertain with his irons. They were Fee accuratoly ed at important times. Peale, Cutdriving the former cham- pion many yards, was very wild and frequently off the fairways into seri- ous trouble, This enabled Jerry to run up an early lead, but he couldn't hold it, Hale, confident and de- termined, kept plugging away and finally reduced the lead to a single hole at the 653-yard thirteenth, where a boldly played brassie through a clump of trees and a clever chip shot close to the cup won a birdle three On the short fourteenth Hale laid a perfect tee shot and ‘von. Travers at this stage tired perceptibly. Jerry evened the count at the sixteenth. Roth messed up the long seventeenth and took sixes, Hale nearly going out of bounds with the second shot, Trav- ers, with the door Wide open, refused the invitation with two visits to traps. A long putt for a half saved Travers on the home green and an extra hole was necessary. Here Hale rinped off two great shots, while ‘Travers was short, Jerry had a six- foot putt for a half, but missed, and his chance for Jersey titles this sea- son completely faded out Hale's victory over Travers came after a hectic battle with Willlam Reekie, defending champion, in the second round.

Leitch retained her title as cham- pion woman golfer of Great Britain here yesterday by defeating Miss Joyce Wethered, champion of Eng- land, in the final round of a tournn- ment which saw the elimination of five or six of the strongest American players, including Miss Alexa Stirling Miss Leitch beat Miss Wethered, 4 up and 3 to play, The result of the match was a re- versal of that in the English native championship tournament, in which Miss Wethered was the victor over Miss Leitch, Miss Wethered, who !s considered by experts to be a rising golfer, did remarkably well, but Misg Leitch was at her best. Her play since defeatIny Miss Alexa Stirling, the American woman champion, in the first round has been “patchy,” but she always was able to get out of a difficult po- e'tion at critical times, This ability, supplemented with her strength in long, straight drive: enabled her to dispose of all her oj ponents and retain the title of open champion. It has been decided to hold next year’s championship tournament at Sandwich in M. College Crews Of East and West To Race To-Day ‘The first intersectional college boat race since the Stanford crew came on to Poughkeepsie in 1915 will be held late to-day on Lake Carnegie, when the undefeated Princeton varsity elght crew B. as it Is called, will race the Univer- sity ‘of California over a two-mile course, It wil Ibe a meeting of the champion crew of the West and the joint leader of the Eastern division, Columbia being the only varaity eight that can dispute Princeton's claims to the title at this time, There is little telling who will win to-day, both crews being evenly matched from the advance data that can be gathered, California out- weighs the Tigers over four pounds to a man, but Princeton's record thus far, with victories over the Navy Yale, Harvard and Cornell, puts her in_an enviable position, The title trials have been practical ly identical, but neither crew has been tested by a watch over the en- tire distance of one and seven-eighths miles, The Bears covered a quarter mile in 1101-5 three days ago and the orange and black oars propelled the Davy Shell a like distance in about the same time. Yesterday rowed hal strong wind. The rowing enthusiasts who are at Princeton expect to sce a close hard fought race. Neither California nor Princeton have been defeated “This is going to be our hardest > ws of the season,” declared Coin Spaeth, after giving his men a fina’ workout. “California has a stron; crew, and for sheer power surpasses any other combination we have sowed. The men pull together well, too, ant on the whole are a mighty formidable looking lot.
