NEW YORK. July 1. Supreme con
fidence appeared to reign In the
camps of Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpentier on the eve of their cham
pionship bout in Jersey City to
morrow. Special statements rurnished the
Associated Press either directly or
Indirectly by the principals, their
managers and the promoter follow:
By Jack Dempsey, heavyweight
champion of the world:
"I am in the best shape of my ca
reer, ready and anxious to give an
account of myself in the ring, as
champion of the world. I expect to
iwin. and win as quickly as possible.
Jf one punch, will knock Carpentier
out, I'll be better satisfied.
"But regardless of how long the
fight goes, the public can depend
upon me to do tny level best every
second of the way. I am proud to
represent America against the Euro
pean challenger, and this pride will
cause me to make what I feel will be
the greatest fight In my life.
Dempsey Saya lie la Ready.
"I was" never more anxious to win
k fight than this one. Of course, I
know that Carpentier Is a great hit
ter, but I feel confident that I -will
tie able successfully to defend my
title. I have faithfully trained the
best I know how. I put in ten weeks
et work, six weeks of real hard train
ing. I am ready."
By Georges Carpentier, challenger:
"When I go Into the ring against
Jack Dempsey, I will be prepared to
make the supreme effort of my fight
ing career."
'You can also say ' for Georges.
added Trainer Wilson, "that be is in
condition to fight a great battle; that
he will bring all the experience of 14
years' training to bear, and that. If
Dempsey defeats him, America can
claim a real champion, for Georges
Carpentier is a great fighter and to
beat him will, indeed, be an accom
plishment. We have no excuses to
make and we believe that victory will
be ours."
By Jack Kearns, manager of Jack
Dempsey:
"We expect to win over Georges
Carpentier In three or four rounds.
I will not-be surprised if Dempsey
stops him In the first round. This, of
course, depends upon the style adopt
ed by Carpentier.
Work of Champion Praised.
"The Dempsey who will defend his
title as world's champion Is the fast
est, hardest-hitting, gamest heavy
weight who ever stepped inside of a
ring. After the fight Is over I think
every one who saw it will - agree
with me.
"Dempseyi Is In better condition
than he has ever been. He has
trained hard and faithfully, and I
never felt more confident of winning
a fight. I ara convinced that he will
beat Carpentier and do it decisively.
The champion Is in great shape and
will do his best, and if beaten will
have no excuse to offer."
By Francois Descampsv manager of
Carpentier. speaking through Tex
Itlckard:
"I confidently expect Georges Car
pentier to win the world's heavy
weight championship from Dempsey
........ .1.0 .uu.u. ucuiKca nHa
trained faithfully and Is In the best
condition of his life. Hi's long ring
experience has fitted him for any
form of attack, and every member
ef the Carpentier camp, from Georges
himself down tothe man at the gate.
Is supremely confident of the out
come. Georges Carpentier will be
the new champion before nightfall.
Saturday."
Bout Interest Great.
Promoter Tex Rlckard:
"The heavyweight championship
contest between Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpentier is the "most suc
cessful In every respect that I have
ver attempted to promote. The arena
Is the largest ever built for a boxing
contest. The advance sale of seats
Indicates the largest paid attendance
for an event of this type. The gate
receipts and the purse to be divided
between the principals establishes a
Hew record in this respect.
"The bout itself has created great
er Interest, both national and Inter
national, than any other ring contest
at any weight. After the promotion
of the Jeffries match at Reno In 1910,
I thought that no future bout could
efiual that battle in general Interest,
but a short span of 11 years has pro
duced another heavyweight title bout
frreater In every respect. I base this
statement upon the number of appli
cations for press seats and the fact
that virtually every country of the
world will be represented in one man
ner or another at the ringside.
"Aside from the usual and trifling
annoyances in connection with a pro
motion of this - ma'gnitude, every
thing has moved smpothly. Both
Dempsey and Carpentier and their
managers have proved easy and rea
sonable to deal with from a business
standpoint. I sincerely hope that the
bout will prove an interesting one
for the spectators to watch: a bene
fit to the wonderful sport of boxing
and without unpleasant aftermath.
"Without preference or choice as
to the principals. I can only say: Iday
the best man win in a sportsmanlike
manner."

And that by evening the balloon

not have disappointed thousands of

The Vernon All-Stars. Independent 5-foot-l
champions of the city last season, have
organized and desire to arrange games
with independent or park Indoor teams
ranging from fi feet 6 to 5 feet 8. The all
stars are selected at the end of the league
season from the five teams composing the
Vernon indoor league. Last year they
finished with a record of 25 victories and
two defeats. For games call Woodlawn
1411.
The Fields Motor Car team, which Is
playing Independent ball, after having won
7 and lost only one game In the Interstate
baseball preliminaries, did not withdraw
from the association because of not being
able to keep the team together, as stated
in one report. They pulled out. they de
clare, because they felt they had won
the right to play in the first division and
resented being shoved into the second after
the record they had made.
Manager Bradley of the Artisans had a
good staff of pitchers lined up and a
strong Infield, but too many inroads have
wrecked his club. Pitcher Ring is out of
the league on account of signing a Beaver
contract. Second Baseman Manary Is out
of town on a construction Job and Tony
Bngle. outfielder. Is batting .462 in the
Pacific International league. Bradley Is
on a hunt for material. Any good pros
pects should turn out for practice on Mont
gomery flats Wednesday night at 6 o'clock.
It took the Ralem Senators ten Innings
Sunday to humble the Camas papermakers,
2 to JL Scott, for Camas, pitched fine
ball.
Ed Thompson, pitching for the Arti
sans, allowed Crown Willamette only four
hits at Oregon City. Sunday, but lost his
game through hard luck. On an over
throw at the plate the ball stuck In the
wire and when Catcher Rosenberger of the
Artisans tried to retrieve it. he made mat
ters worse by pushing the ball entirely
through the wire. All the men on bases
then scored.
