’ TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1921. ‘ leftearful Though Connie’s kids are holding to The cellar club renown Their seven homers in one game Shows you can’t keep ’em down. DEMPSEY MAY RETIRE IF HE DEFEATS CARP Only Willard Left As Only Possibility Os Another Fight F BY MAX BALTHASAR Noted Fight Expert • ATLATINC CITY. N. J., June 7. If .Jack Dempiiev def?ats Georg.« Carpentier at Jersey City on July 2, it will b'e his last rppea”ance in the ring, unless it is made worth his while to meet Jess Willard on Labor Day. It he is defeated by Carpentier he will seek a return match and, win or lose in the event that Carpentire consents to meet him a second time, he will quit the gloves forever. The plans of the champion were confided to an intimate of years from the west and he appeared to be speak ing in all sincerity. “If I beat Carpentier,” he asked, who will there be left for me to fight. Yes, there is a possibility of meeting Willard on Labor Day, ‘ bnt that is uncertain. “Therefore, barring a chance to meet Willard, there will be no ring work for me. and I can’t loaf, so I might as well retire with my title and seek employment in other lines. . "It is true that I will have suffi cient money to keep me comfortably, but I must work. I cannot lead an idle life. "The motion pictures present many opportunities and there will be no difficulty in securing theatrical en gagements.” Dempsey will celebrate his twenty sixth birthday on the 24th dos this month, and a heavyweight at that age is barely at his peak. If Demp sey retires, therefore, he will be passing ud fully six good fighting years. That Dempsey hopes to make a big cleanup in the forthcoming fight in anticipation of his retirement is re vealed in a remark he made in the course of a fanning bee. “I like Carpentier and I think he is a fine fellow,” the champion said, "but I wish he would get out more, where the public could see him. ‘‘He may have his very good rea sons for permitting only the newspa per men to see him, and then only for an hour three times a week, but it would help matters greatly if he would let down the bars. You know we are fighting on a percentage.” Dempsey, despite the task before him, is always of good cheer. He fairly bubbles over when a friend of IP the early days comes to visit him. LEONARD DEFENDS TITLE HARRISON, N. J., June 7.—Ben ny Leonard defended his title of lightweight champion of the world in a twelve round bout here last night at the Newark baseball club’s park, his oppenent being Rocky Kansas of Buffalo. Under the New Jersey law, no de cision by the referee is allowed, but | in the opinion of the majority of the experts around the ringside Leonard I clearly outpointed his opponent.

He’ s Rough and Ready Dempsey, under the surface, is the same boyish, plain, rouf'ih and ready fighter that he always has been, He doesn’t like to bother much about the technical side of fighting. What he wants to do is “‘just fight.” His own idea of a championship fight would be to have the promoters put one challenger after the other into the ring with him and let him see how many of ’em he could topple over in a day. The effect of the coat of scientific veneer that has been applied to the champ by his manager, Jack Kearns, is noticeable however. For Dempsey is boxing far more cleverly than he did at Toledo against Willard and at Benton Harbor against Miske. Often Breaks Away But not even Kearns can keep the champ, when he finds himself getting into a hole, from throwing science overboard and climbing out with just plain, unvarnished Dempsey fighting.
