—— NAMING OF THE REFEREE SEEMS 10 BE WORRYING EVERY ONE BUT FIGHTERS ‘Carpentier Doesn’t Care Who Offi- ciates, but Champion’s Manager Wants to Have Say Because He Claims the Frenchman Has Won Thirty Fights on Fouls. By Robert Edgren. ATLANTIC CITY, June 21. referee question seems to be worrying every one but the fighters, Carpentier is more or less indifferent, as he feels sure he won't get e worst of it, no matter who referees, Dempsey is annoyed over the ignoring of his traditional right as champion to have something to say about the selection of the man who will referee a bout In which his title at stake. But he isn't worried. : In the Dempsey-Kearns combination, Dempsey does the fighting and Kearns attends to everything else, including the worrying. That's well understood. Kearns seldom talks over business details with Dempsey, and Dempsey always refers people looking for information to Kearns unless ‘they are asking something about his former battles or his punch. On these subjects Jack is the authority, Kearns's whole objection to tae appointment of a referee unknown to fatm is that he isn’t willing to risk his champion’s title on the action of any Teferee he doesn't absolutely know to be capable and reliable. It isn’t _ @nough for Kearns that other people believe in the referee and tell Kearns hé is all right, or that he may be licensed and experienced. “I've got to know,” said Kearns to-day, “that the referee will know is business and that if Dempsey aits Carpentier a fair punch in the bedy the referee won't be swayed by any consideration to disqualify him on a claim of foul. They've claimed foul for Carpentier In about thirty fights, i've heard.” Asked Dempsey about that. He laughed. “Tt won't make any difference to me@——— sho referees,” he said, “as long as he put the feeling against him in many an count up to ten. But of course I/ quarters in strong.

One thing I have noticed about much of Dempsey's work during the past week Is that ho has largely cut out his natural swaying defense and attack, standing straighter and box- ing more like other men, If he in- tenda to follow this—to be a boxer— in his fight with Carpentier he’ make a serious mistake. The champions always got to the top through thelr original ways of fighting. Dempsey doesn’t need stock cleverness.” He is a great fighter in his own way and his shifty style is superior to the fighting style of any other champion I've ever known, It ja the most effective fighting method ever developed in the ring.

Not but that 1 always feel good, but I seemed to have a little extra, what you call, pep. I did the best I could to please the sporting writers, but I am down so close to fighting weight that I simply must take things easy. When Joe Jeannette and I were banging away at each other in in- fighting I noticed over Joe’s shoulder the familiar features of Gunboat Smith, whom I defeated in 1914. I was so amused that Joe got in a couple of clean blows while I was wondering !f Smita would carry away the same story that | was going to be easily defeated which Bill Brennan gave out last week. side. Joe Jeannette is still pretty rugged, but when we clinched I could feel my advantage in strength. I permitted him to hit me freely with all! but certain blows, against which I guarded myself. Taere wer many openings of waich I did not take advantage, for I was not practicing punching, merely defensive tactics. Against Marcel Denis it was different, | I hit him freely and several times had to pull up and wait while he cleared his head. I was pleased that some wounded soldiers, one a poor chap who had lost both legs, came down to see me box. I went through my own mail) personally vesterday morning after coming in from road work, and I was) glad I had, for I found a $10 gold piece in the very first letter I opened.

Twenty years ago, the picturesque old horseman from Hartford, Conn., campaigned a stable of platers, many of them cast-offs of the August Bel- mont stable, The purpose of having the horses was to win races if they | could, but principally to provide mounts for the youngsters who were studying the art of riding as appren- tices to the Sage of Hartford. The combination of cast-off horses and unfinished riders seldom made any great impression on the bookmakers of those days, and Daly entries were invariably quoted at a generous, if not a long price. They always had a folowing, however, tor the reason that every once in a while one of the horses would forget his infirmities and carry his rider home, There were many two-dollar punters loyal to the Father Bill colors, because they know if they ever nthe odds meant something juicy, During the fall of 1905, Broomstick, one of the best horses of the year, ridden by Jack Martin in the Capt, 8, 8, Brown colors, was quoted at 1 to 10 in a con- dition race.
