He can onng down ahy man he can hit. and the Jopesters believe he is a l-to-100 shot. However, all Is not well with tue thmplon at this writing. True, he is t.hvslcally perfect nnd ready to put up the fight of his life; but mentally he is NOT so good. The big boy is wor- H.

Everything lind been arrnnged, but yesterday other plans were dlvyilged. He said ho would leave today on the irgular train and travel in a drawing room, lie will nave no guests, oniy uis manager and his trainers. He will remain overnight in Jersey City, but no knows where It will be. The champion wants to get away from his training enmp as soon as possible. He has been annoyed by process serve, hiit car has been attached a cnunlft nf flmpa nn.l dnnntv sheriffs hnvc been constant callers.

All of this has been Irksome to Jack, especially when nil of his business affairs are supposed In be handled by his manager. Instead of paying his bills Kenrns is allowing them to go Jo court and Dempsey has to take tho slap. After ten weeks of hard work any man Is likely to get peevish. Dempsey is about to enter into the greatest contest of his career and he knows it is entirely up to him, After he steps through the ropes he will set help from no one and It is up to him to sink or Mm II- .1 1 on.Ui. lie IjUCttU I SHOW I1UW KIIUU Ol how bad Cnrpentler is and won't have jn idea until the battle begins.

Denver, the Mirgron, would rather be kicked by mule than punched by Jack DompFcy. Dr. Dcaver is famous for his almost unennny skill at swift diagnosis. He saw the champion in action at the shore day before yesterday and looked him over with the trained eje of nn anatomist and surgeon, though he did not make physical exnminntion of the lighter. The surgeon's verdict i that Dcmp-cy is pliysicnllv perfeet and in the prime of condition.

He believes tho fight will end in the first round, nnd by a knorkout. Although Dr. Deaver linsn't the least doubt In the world that the championship will stay in the United Stntes.

Retting Ilrislc Rut Small Ip around Rroad and Chestnut streets today, where the handbook men are familiar figures, there was a good deal of surmise and conjecture and uncertainty over the outcome of tho fight.

Retting was brisk enough there nnd in the customary resorts of the gamblers, but the amounts wagered were not large. Odds in favor of Demney are tumbling. However, there "nothing to it." in the opinion of Dr. Deaver Dempsey is sure-fire winner. Dr.

Drnver was fatigued with a long morning nt the operating tabid in the University Hospital when he was nsked to express tils opinion on the chances of the champion. His face lit up with enthusiasm and he smiled as lie recalled his trip to tho champion's training quarters. "I think Demps-cy will knock him out in the fit a-t round." lie said enthusiastically. "I look on him as a sure winner. Dempsev is a perfect man.

ATTACK ON IOWA Despite Reports, Bombing Proves Value of Planes Battling Against Warship MASS ASSAULT EFFECTIVE R.v CLINTON W.

GILBERT silnn Cnrrriiianilrnt KtriilnR I'fMIr IiUrr ronvriaht. 10SI, bv rubUc Lidorr Co. Washington. July 1. The news dis-tiatches from the sea regarding the air attack with fake bombs upon the battleship Iowa give only a faint Idea of the importance of what was revealed.

The fact that only two direct hits are known to have been scored tends to minimize the importance of -the air weapon against the navy. These two hlls were scored in the one salvo fired by five airplanes passing over the Iown in formation und dropping seventeen bombs all at once. These bombs dropped nil around the battleship, two striking her. It was the best work of the ciitWc tests so far. When it was over a foreign observer, watching the action through his glnsses.

exclaimed "Thnt salvo will revolutionize air attacks upon warships. It was magnificent." The two hits scored were the lenst pnrt of it. The bombs dropped close to the Iowu on all sides, and It was the opinion of air observers that the bombs fulling in the water would have done more damage than those striking the ship, since they struck so close ns to imperil her in the wny a submarine mine would by exploding close to her unprotected sides below the nrmor belt. Single Pianos Not So Effective The conclusion was) reached th'at attacks upon unviil vessels should be by airplanes in close formation dropping bombs li snlvos. Siugle plnnes flying over a ship nnd dropping one bomb at a time were not regarded ns effective.

It would be largely chance whether a plane thus attacking a ship would be successful. The attack on the Iowa did not. of course, closely simulate war conditions. In the first place cement bombs are not as carefully made nor as sure missiles' as true bombs. It is more difficult to core hits with them.

Then, too, the lequiremenl thnt the nirplaues should lly -1000 feet above the ship attacked would not exist in war, although theoretically plane flying lower would he in danger of nntl-air craft fire from the warships. In actual fighting a number of planes attacking in formation would take their chance with the anti-air craft guns nnd Contlnurd on Pane 1'onr, Column Tij ACTRESS HATES LOVE TAPS Bride Who Was Courted and Won In Hour Accuses Husband Ncw orli.
