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

ie laughed.
It won t make any difference to

'But it might not make any d if

I never use tricks and I don'
hink Carpentier would, either. The
ricks always come from outside the

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

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

e one thing that worries him. w

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.

ATLANTIC CITY. X. J., June 20.
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.

and shook hands with the veteran.
The sparring was followed by 15
minutes of rope jumping and work on
the mat.

Then started the travels which

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,

Towever, Jimmy Is not a bit par

Is quite ready to take on "Goat" La

A man can get a heap more
satisfaction from a small chew
of this class of tobacco, than
he ever could get from a big

He finds it costs less, too. The

to have a fresh chew nearly
as often.
