ANHASSET, L. 1, June 28.—Only three days to the big fight, and both camps are as full of optimism and sure-to-win spirit as a pair of rival political campaign headquarters. The last glimpse I had pf Carpentier he was humming snatches of French light opera, in three maute rounds with one minute rests. In the past two days I have checked > on both Dempsey and Carpentier at the dinner table, and there are no ¢.ro healthier and more voracious appetites in these United States, At Carpentier’s the whole training staff has turned into a troupe of entertainers, with Georges as end man, assisted by his trick dog Flip. Down at Dempsey's Jack is happy as a clam from the moment he finishes thumping his sparring partners. In the ring he is the same grim fighter wwe saw at Toledo, but outside the smile takes the place of the scowl and he telis funny stories about his ring experiences, kids his training staff and has as much fun as he can behind the high board fence that shuts him off from Atlantic City and the outside world.

By Georges Carpentier. ANHASSET, L. 1, June 28.—Only four days to the big fight, and M vacy I am certain to have a crowd. Yesterday afternoon I counted thirty-seven persons at the ringside while I was indulging in some quite secret training. Fourteen of my visitors were French journalists t King advantage of their first opportunity, and probably their last, to see te ‘nm action before the big fight. Jack Curley brought in some of his friends, and after we had looked over the front lawn, with visitors scat- t.red here and there, we decided we had “no more privacy than a gold- fis4.” Any chance of private practice had fled, so I boxed for my thirty-seven visitors two rounds each with three syarring partners. The first was a 1 ‘ddlewetght, the second a lightweight and the third a very heavy heavy- weight. I felt in good shape despite the terrific heat, which was ended by a hail and thunderstorm just as I finished, I could easily have gone another six rounds, The newly imported light heavyweight gave me what was perhaps the i best workout of my training. He wanted to put on his headguard, but) Dexcamps decided I was not to hit hard; nevertheless we mixed it more |freéty than usual. Once, missing with my right, I slipped and went down | ;on a hand and knee. Francois turned to the journalists from France and! sail: ‘There's the second time Georges has been down since he started training,” referring to the much discussed occasion when I slipped in box- ing with Journee a month ago. Little Charley Ledouz stripped for action yesterday afternoon. He did not box with me, but it was amusing to see him take on huge Joe Jean- nette after I had finished, To-day should be a day of rest, but I never know—I feel so well and so much like boxing it is hard to keep still.
