CRITICS STING CHAMPION or feeling- Strong on Account Slacker Charges and Is Re sented by Title Holder. BT ROBERT EDGREX. (Copyright by the Bell Syndicate. Pub lished by Arrangement.) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. June 20 (Special.) The referee question seems be worrying everyone but the fighters. Carpentier is more or less indifferent as he feels sure he won't el the worst of it no matter who referees. Dempeey is annoyed over F ne ignoring of his traditional rigm pis champion to have something to Lay ahout the selection of the' man twho will referee a bout in which his itle is at stake. But he isn't wor ried. In the Dempsey-Kearns com- ibination, Dempsey does the fighting lid Kearns attends to everything Ise, including the worrying. That's well understood. Kearns seldom aiks over business details with Dempsey, and Dempsey always refers persons rooking for information to IKearns unless they are asking some- hing about his former battles or his bunch. .On these subjects Dempsey is Ehe authority. Kearns whole objection to the ap pointment of a referee unknown to nm is that he Isn't willing to risk his champion's title on the action of ny referee he does not absolutely knew to be capable and reliable. It silt enough for Kearns that other eople believe in the referee and tell IKearns he is all right or that he may fce licensed and experiencd. Ko Trick Wanted. I've got to know." said Kearns today, "that the referee will know is business and that if Dempsey hits Jarpentier a fair punch in the body he referee won t be swayed by any onsideration to disqualify him on laim of foul. They've claimed fouli or Carpentier in about 30 fights. I'v eard. ' 1 a-skea .Dempsey about that ie laughed. It won t make any difference to ine who referees," be said, "as long s he can count up to ten. But, ourse, I don't want to have to keep U my hitting up around the head. t'e bard to get a fast man if you only ave one mark to shool, at. Anyway bring em down with body puncne nd sometimes finish them that way, oo. "If I think there may be some sort a trick put over on me I'll have be careful. 'But it might not make any d if ference. They never try the trick ou're looking for. I never use tricks and I don' hink Carpentier would, either. The ricks always come from outside the ng. I never bother my head abou hem. I do the fighting, and it's up o Kearns to look out for these other hings. I hold with Kearns. Kearns started with me when as working by the day and hardly etttng enough to keep my family rom starvation, and he got me the Hatches that made me champion. If Kearns said to me. 'Get in the' ng and fight Carpentier tomorrow hy I'd get in and fight. "If he said. Tick up and take the ram for bait Lake today and look round lor a Job; we re going to stop gnung,' mat's Just what I'd do, vuiuraiiy &earns nas to be more areful of each detail of the lieht nan Descamps. He has a champion. ith the world title to lose. Demo- ey is in a bad position. Thon.oanris f persons in this country still recall e -slacker" charges. It ought to i enough for these persons that Jempsey was tried and acauitted. I will say that Dempsey is a decent fellow. Anyone who ever knew him l.vould have respect for him. But the eling against him in many quarters strong, tie realizes this, and it la e one thing that worries him. w ere laming this over today In hi; amp, and a San Francisco writer id: Jjempsey, there are nersonx In is country who'd love to see vou eaten and who wouldn't care if Car entier took the title back t faace, Criticisms Are : Reseated. Dempsey was waiting the call to oui and box in the arena. He iaa not shaved for a couple of days. t-iia lace set grimly and his mouth nade a down-curving line. He said nothing. Tou've been criticised prettv hard. t-ou know, Dempsey," went on the an TancIsco writer. "I'll show Itnem," thrust out Dempsey all of a udden. "I'll show them this will be bhort and sweet." It was as if Dempsey had dropped he smiling mask and uncovered a Iface of fierce resentment He likes kJarpentier,. but I wouldn't like to be n Carpentier's shoes with Dempsey stepping into the ring raw, raging from criticism. He fights hard nough when It is merely a matter of business. How fast will he go and how hard will he hit when stuns- bv bublic hate? Dempsey liked Miske. too. He tells hie he can't help liking Billy Miske. .Iways did like bim and found It lard to fight him. even thoueh both regarded the battle and a likely :nockout on one side or the other s a matter of fact. But the last Ime they fought Dempsey held back lnlil Miske hit him hard, and then rashed a blow into Miske's ribs that airly settled Miske's chances on the fcpot. I didn t see that fight, but persons kvho did told me that even as Demp- ey drew back his hand after that remendous blow. blood blisters eaped out under Miske's whole skin where the glove had landed. Dempsey's work during the last couple of days has been largely pos- ng for the moving pictures of the amp. He has tried to box "for the pictures in his training, and as that sn t at all his natural style, he hasn't hown much. One thing I have noticed about hnuch of Dempsey's work during the week is that he has largely cut out mrs natural swaying defense and at ack, standing straighter and boxing nore like other men. If he Intends to ollow to be a boxer in his bout vith Carpentier, he'll make a serious mistake. The champions always go to the top hrougn their original ways of box ng. Dempsey doesn't stock "clever hess." He is a great fighter in his wn way, and his shifty style is su perior to the fighting style of anj ther champion I ve ever known. It's he most effective fighting method ver developed in the ring. Dempsey hould stick to it. Herried to Coach Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, Wash., June 20. (Spe- lal.) Walter Herried.

Jack Dempsey increased his boxing to eight three-minute rounds today, taking on four heavy sparring part ners for two sessions each. Dempsey had read what the boxing experts had written concerning his workout Sunday, which was regarded as slow, because he set a warm pace upsetting the rugged Larry William for first time. Eddie O'Hare, who gave-the champion considerable trou ble yesterday, repeatedly feinted fo openings, but Dempsey did not give him opportunity to get set, O'Hare failed with his one-two punch, with which he nailed Dempsey yesterday In rapid succession Dempsey boxed O'Hare, Battling Ghee, Williams and Jack Renault. Ghee always was on the defense and took three steps backwards for every one forward Once the champion crowded the Mem phis negro into a corner and all but knocked him flat. Dempsey was In a fighting mood after he had chased Ghee around for two rounds and when Williams en tercd the ring the champion tried to upset him. Williams ran into a tor nado of hooks and was sent sprawling into the ropes, from a right to the chin in the second round. Dempsey staggered him with a left, then crashed over a right that dropped him to a sitting position. The referee situation still is unset tied. Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, plans to leave for New York tomorrow to confer with Pro moter Rickard in an effort to clear up the situation. Kearns is opposed to the action of the New Jersey boxing commission In its decision to name the referee. GEORGES SHOWS OFF DEFEXSE Five Fast Rounds Boxed Denis and Jeflnnette. With MANHASSET, N. T., June 20. In five rounds of sparring today, two with the French lightweight, Marcel Denis, and three with the negro heavyweight, Joe Jeannette, Georges Carpentier exhibited the defensive tactics he has been developing in private workouts. Many of the experts had asked Man ager Descamps to let Georges show something. Carpentier went at such speed that Denis appeared slow in comparison. He hurt Denis badly when his right crashed the light weight's jaw. He caught Denis .in his arms to save him from a fall. Carpentier has been taking lessons In defence from Jeanette. With Jeannette he went even faster than with Denis. He evaded Joe's punches for one round, then they fought at close quarters. 'Georges took a num ber of body punches with a smile and worked an uppercut well. He had Jeannette blowing at the end. "He has improved 100 per cent in all departments of the game since our fight in Paris," Jeannette said. "The harder you hit him the broader his smile." Several hundred persons watched the challenger. They in cluded about 50 school children from Great Neck, Long Island, and a score of wounded veterans who were brought on stretchers from Poly technic hispital in Manhattan. Gunboat Smith was one of the most interested spectators. He praised the challenger for his speed and hitting ability, but ventured the opinion that he was not good enough to beat the champion. When Georges came to the gym nasium he espied a leggless war vet eran sitting on a stool by the door. IT a ,., K. U U ., ! and shook hands with the veteran. The sparring was followed by 15 minutes of rope jumping and work on the mat. Leonard to Go to Benton Harbor. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., June 20.

'Tex" Rickard Spectacular Promoter of Boxing. Obncnre Cow Puncher and Miner Becomes .Magnate of Flatlana. FIRST HALF OF BIG E SHOOT L D BY FORD Portland-Man in Good Way to Land State Title. SCORE IS 99 OUT OF 100 Abner Blair and M. A. Rickard Are Runners-lvp With 98 Each "in Tourney at Astoria. NEW YORK, June 30. "Boxing's greatest showman." That was the title which Georsre Lewis ("Tex") Rickard. promoter of the coming Demnsey-Carnentier hout. earned in the staging of several bouts drawing the largest gate re ceipts in the history of the sm-rt. inrown m contact with the boxing game by accident. Rickard. an ac count of whose career reads -like fic tion, accomplished nearly everything he set his mind on doing and kept going along successfully, despite con ditions that sometimes made the word "quit" seem attractive. l.ickard was born in Kansas Citv. Mo.. January 2, 1871. His father, a millwright, -moved to the Panhandle of Texas when the embryo prjmoter was a small boy. At the age of 12 years, thrown on his own resources, with a widowed mother, two brothers and three sisters to support, "Tex" turned to the calling of cow-punch ing, universal in Texas. Then started the travels which have made this man a "citizen of the world." He met success in the cattle business but in 1804 "hit the trail" for the Klondike. Months of hard ship brought fair returns, but after year or two in Dawson, Rickard gain moved. This time he drew up in Goldfield, Nev., at the time when the mining craze engulfed that section. But Goldfield was not satisfied with the local activity which the miners irought to that place. The town boosters" wanted national note and Rickard suggested a championship boxing match. Since that time Rickard has pro moted, from a financial point of view. he greatest ring contests ever staged. They have been successes only be cause of the extraordinary snow- manshlp" of the man. Always his ogan has been take a chance. He stounded the country with his guar antees for the Johnson-Jeffries battle t Reno in 1910. But his receipts totaled J270,000 and he emerged a Win er by $100,000. Keceipts tor tne Willard-Dempsey bout at Toledo, July , 1919, amounted to $450,000, a new !gh mark. Bouts staged by him in Madison Square garden during the six months previous to last aiarcn Drougni in more than 11. 300.000. Approximately $1,000,000 will flow into the box office before Jack Dempsey ana ueorges arpentier square off at Jersey tajy, uly 2, easily covering the tremen ous outlay necessary to stage this out.

Now comes Weldon Winger, whose fighting alias 1s Tougny Wing, with a burst of temperament that would do credit to a grand opera prima donna or the feature actress on a vaudeville programme. The Albina feather weight, who Is matched with Joe Gor man in or,6 or the star bouts on t.ie Spanish War Veterans' card at the Armory triday night, vows, avers, asserts and insists that he will not enter the ring unless his bout with Joe Is placed last on the card. In short, young Mr. Wins: wants to snine in the star number, the tillt role, the big emotional act. or he doesn't want to shine at all. He must be the main eventer or there will be no main event, he declares, so far as he personally is concerned. All of which provides another tough one to make life a burst of happy song for Frank K. Watklns, chairman of tne Portland boxing commission. some folks think the tough one is lucky to get a match with Gorman at 11. But he figures it differently him self. "Here's the angle," he explained yesterday. "I am not getting a mint of money for meeting Gorman, not by a long shot. In order to make the show a success and enable the vet erans to get a little money back on the card, i agreed to go on for a mighty small pot. All right, since I am not fighting for the coin, why, all I can hope to get out of the match is prestige and publicity. Do you get me? Well, then, if the match Is one of the firat numbers, where do I cash In on that? Not at all. The papers will give the big hand to the last event, and add a line or so that 'Toughy Wing and Joe Gorman went 10 rounds, etc., etc.,' and that will be all of that. "Nix on that stuff for me. Since 1 have made a concession in taking this match almost for nothing, why, then, the least I can ask, it seems to me, is to go on in the main event." Well, there's something to it. at that. Anyway, It will all be threshed out before Mr. Watkins at a meeting with Wing and the other boxers at 1 o'clock today. Wing says he par ticularly hopes Mr. Watkins sees it his way, for he Is all primed to give Joe a trimming and doesn't want l- let It go by default. While some of the smart ones think Gorman will have little trouble licking me, they will get the surprise of their lives," he added. "Even if every other boxer In the world should lick me, and Joe oorman became champion of the world, Just the same he is one boxer who was, is and will be duck soup for yours truly." Jimmy Darcy. who returned from the east a few weeks ago. will begin a little light work within the next few days and hopes to land a go with the winner of the Mike Gibbons-Al Sommers fight at Spokane, Wasn, July 4.

He said he would be unablo to play in the men's doublrs with Arnold Jones of Providence, but hoped to participate in the mixed doubles with Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, American women's singles champion, in a few days.
