By Robert Edgren. ATLANTIC CITY, June 8. HE thing Ghat impresses me most every time I see Jack Dempsey is his supreme concentration. He has this quality to a degree un-) equalled by any other borer | ever saw. | _THE EVENING WORLD, W EDGREN IS IMPRESSED BY DEM PSEY’S SUPREME CONCENTRATION THEY’RE IN THE “MET” TOURNEY Copyright, 1921, by The Press Putlishing Co.

In the house and ite vieinity he is an ideal host, nodding or talking to every one who comes béek to see him. At ten minutes to 3 he disappears. When he comes out of | the house just before 3, in his tights and ready for work, he walks straight | aqpees the road toward the arena, seeing no one, eyes straight sow! already creasing his forehead. i ‘Without @ word he goes directly begins his work. he in two Shadow boxing He ring, ii three-minute rounds. is serious stuff wito skips around and around the with no slowing up; twisting, ducking imaginary sidestepping, pulling away, plunging im and driving heavy smasies through the air, uppercut- in the fighting scowl, secing nothing outside After that comes immediately the real boxing.

I was lucky to get him with the first punch. But there was nothing exciting about it. It was just a case of sock till something dropped.” ‘This may not have been exciting to Dempsey. But he was the only man in that arena who didn’t come near having heart faflure a dozen timos in 8 many minutes that day. The secret practice limits at Car- Pentier’s camp have been extended. Manager Descamps has announced that the general public will be rigidly excluded hereafter and that the French champion will train before Rewspaper men only ‘on Mondays and Fridays, two days a week instead of three, It is hinted that Carpentier will box only two days because he is , in fighting condition and needs little more work. Carpentier is in as fine shape as! any man I ever saw. He's on the| edge of ring condition, But unless | my guess 1s wrong he will go on with! his boxing several times a week, and) his work will consist of practising | and perfecting defense and attack| designed to be used against Demp- sey's well known fighting methods. | The Frenchmen are quick and keen, thought to waste pn anything else. It's no wonder he wins fights. I had a little talk with Jack about this last night after dinner, We had been discussing flying, motor boat driving a la Gar Wood, and other ex- citing sports. “But I suppose,” I said, “there's no thrift like leaving your corner at the bell with a world’s championship at stake.” “There's no thriN in fighting,” said Jack. ‘That's just bulldog stuff. You see your man in front of you and you don’t see the crowd or anything else. You don't think about anything ex- All you think is: ‘he is—go get him. “€ don't think of anything else. I may step aside to draw him on, or stand and wait a moment for him to come to ine, or go straight after him, the way it seems best. But the only thought I really have in my mind is to look for an opening and then drive through it. I may te looking for an opening in ene place and some unex- opening may come first. Then T have to be alert to grab that and shoot a punch through. “When I'm hit I never know ft, It doesn’t make any impression on my mind. Unless it hurts, of course, and then I just have a sort of a’ side thought that I mustn’t let another punch like that come through, “I den't see anything outside the ring, or hear anything. It’s funny. In the ring at Toledo the only thing in my mind was that I must put that vig fellow down. Before the fight I Rainstorm Prevents Carpentier From Carrying Out His Plans Frenchman Obliged to Aban- don Outdoor Work on Ac- count of Weather. Gus Wilson and Italian Joe Gans hed just stripped the open air ring at Carpentier’s training camp at Manhasset, L. I., of the protecting ‘ar sheet when down came a near- eloudburst that drove them all, in- eluding Carpentier, to cover. Though where was no boxing in yesterday's programme, the champion did plan to ‘have his workout in the open air, and when the rain began coming down in bucketfulls he rerarked that “it never rained but it poured in Amer- ica,” and seemed io be disappuinted at not being able to carry out his original plans. Tt was simply a light routine work- out, Carpentier doing little more than loosening up. The ebill in the air but it. Im fact either Gus the Burp: Mar continually while he is going through bis paces.

Naturally Carpentier isn't letting the public and Dempsey into his confidence. No one outside of his camp will know how Carpentier will fight until the fight begins, In my opinion this is the only sen- sible way to train for a battle with a world's championship at stake. Dempsey's daily training in_ the ring at a certain hour every after- noon to please a lot of spectators who have paid a dollar at the gate and want action is not the best kind of training to put him into fighting condition, The difference between the French- man and Dempsey in condition to- day is the result, Carpentier is as fit to-day as Dempsey was one month before he fought Willard.

After Reinheimer'’s sad death, the young owner decided to train for himself and pped William A. with several others to New Or- leans. During the ‘air Grounds meeting William A. galloped throu the stretch several times with suc’ impressiveness that William A. Shea, who now owns Tehara, the colt's dam, offered $7,500 for him.

Leach Cross, former New York idol, who ten years ago was almost as popular as Benny Leonard is to-day, | is ambitious, Recently he returned to the ring after several years’ ab- sence, and made such a creditable showing that he is determined to fight his way back to the top, He has always taken the best of care of him- self and he has high hopes of earn~ ing muffictent recognition to be con- sidered a worthy opponent of the champion. Cross argues that Stan- islaus Zbyszko “eame back” and won the heavyweight wrestling title, while Jack .Twin Sullivan recently won the light heavyweight championship of New England although well over the torty-year mark. Cross is going to be put to a severe test at the Boxing- drome A. C's all-star card June 21, when he meets Gene Delmont in a ten-round bout.
