' DEMPSEY UNABLE r U UL PLACE A SECRET JEHSRY CITY, X. J., July 2. "Never felt better In my life," remark ed Jack Dempsey as he sat down to a light, breakfast this morning In u pri vate home here, where he had spent the night. The champion slept without inter ruption from 10 o'clock last night until seven this morning and awoke in a happy frame of mind. Dempsey's breakfast consisted of two boiled eggs, toast and a pot of tea. Accompanied by Ted Hayes, his trainer, Dempsey started out for a walk, but such a large crowd followed nt his heels that ho was forced to re turn to the house. Hero worshippers had spent most of the night in the vicinity to get a glimpse of the defen der and to shout words of encourage ment to him when lie made his ap pearance. Although his whereab i'its was su posed to be secret, the news leaked before he had been in town more than a few hours and fight fans were on constant patrol along the street in which he is housed. There was a large percentage of women among the spectators. Getting Along Good Women are as great sufferers from kidney and bladdcd ailments as men.

"It all depends on how the old jaw is," T.)etupsey said when asked about his after the light plans. He grinned broadly and caressed t he jaw that is to be the target of the ehal lenner. His guests will inelude his two brothers, Iternard and Johnny; May or liarter of Atlantic City; Manager Kearns. Trainer Hayes and other n, embers of the training squad. M rs. .Mae T'rowii of Chicago, a friend of Uempsey, and his Prehear ing landlady in the days of "slim pickings" that preceded his rise in the pugllictlc world, arrived here last night with two pairs of hand made white silk trunks, one of which the champion selected to wear in the ring today. !

In reporting such fights in New Jer sey, newspaper correspondents indi cate at I he close of each round the for the French Hand Toots. The International aspect of the af fair was apparent in the l't.is and ribbons carried or worn by the spec tators. An improvised band recruited from the crew of a Froneh steamship In the harbor furnished a muse men t to a crowd packing one of the tube trains. The leader equipped with a cornet of uncertain vintage, persisted in sound ing blatant notes which drowned out at times the roar of the train. "Ve geve zee the serenade Cahr-pon -tee-ay," he said, whilr crowd laughed its approval. A not her fan carried a small t el-s cope underneath his arm. "Can't sc.? the fight wit bout that," he remarked. Home of those who followed him In the seven t h heaven around the rim wore inclined to believe he was right.

CJovernor Kdwards was given ti big rtreption as he passed the big crowds assembled outside, the arena. As he entered the gates t he handelappiug and cheers that greeted him could be Ilea rd for blocks. ihe light in a manner wholly unprecedented. Cartoonists, columnists and erst while composers of exhaustive edito rials on 'the Near Kast situation de voted their energies to the "great con fliet." Karly arrivals of country folk gave indicat ion that t lie crowds, would equal those which came for news of the battle of the Marue and the sign ing of the armistice. '.Maurice Maetorlinek, author of the "lMue llird" was an enthusiastic sup porter of Carpentler. Maeterlinck has frequently donned the gloves with the l'Yonch champion. Last night he telegraphed the Kxcelslor: "I forecast victory for (.Jeorges Car pentier," This view was generally held by the French public, if not by the ma jority of experts in this city. 1'etting on the fight opened briskly today.
