Wilson Ross Says Dempsey Is I
. Trained to Minute for
< Battle July 4th
TO WEIGH IN AT 185-193
Champion’s Only Fear Is That
He May ‘Go Stale’ Before
y Fight Begins
BY WILSON ROSS
' SHELBY, Mont., July 2 —There’s
just one thing that Jack Dempsey
has. to fight against in getting him-j
■■'self set Yor his July 4 battle with '
Tommy Gibijvii'.:. And that is go
ing stale.
The chamption is trained to the
minutcf right now. It would be a
fine thing for him if ftie scrap
could be moved up a week or so.
Hence the order is on from Man
ager Jack Kears to slow up in the
training.
This doesn’t mean less speed in
what working out the champion
does. All the working out to be at
full speed in all of Dempsey’s
training stunts.
But the workouts have been cut
almost in half. It would never do
for the champion to be overtrain
ed. That would be more fatal than
being undertrained.
His waistline is just what he
wants it—32 1-2 inches at the belt
and that’s just - 1-2 inches less
than the girth of the challenger,
Tommy Gibbons. Wrist and ankle
are tapered just right, the former
being 8 1-3 to 9 inches for Gibbons
and the ankle exactly 9 inches
■which is a half inch less than that
of Gibbons.
But where the leg muscles count,
Dempsey’s smaller waist doesnt
prevent him from having as much
thigh as Gibbons at 22 1-2 inches
each, while Dempsey’s calf at 15
inches has one-half inch over Gib
bons.
In biceps Dempsey has 15 inches,
whereas Gibbons measures one inch
less around the uppper arm. Their
forearms are the same at 12 1-2
inches each. And at the neck each
measures 171 inches around.
Their chests normally measure
41. inches each, but Gibbons has
3 1-2 inches expansion to three
inches exactly for the champion.
Dempsey at six feet one is just a
quarter-inch taller than Gibbons,
whereas Gibbons, though unable to
straighten his arms clear out at
the elbows, has 74 inches reach to
73 for Dempsey who can extend’
his straight as an arrow to get the
full advantage ci measurement
from finger-tip to finger-tip.
Now as to weight. The varying
• element for Dempsey’s fine train
ing has had him as low as 180
pounds. That is an inside camp
secret from the champion’s train
ing quarters. And that’s one of
the big reasons why his training
stunts have been cut down so much.
I belieVe he will weigh several
pounds more than that when he
steps into the ring to battle Gib
bons. Just ‘how many pounds
he will put on for the fight is prob
lematical. He should weigh be
tween 185 and 190.
Gibbons’ ring weight is expected
to be around 178. But in training
here at Shelby he has been as high
as two or three pounds over the
180 mark.

In what was called by those

son, Americus lost, Saturady to
Dawson, 10-11, after thirteen in
nings of very interesting playing.
The winning ruu wais scored by
Cosby in Dawson’s half of the thir
teenth, when Barnhart, new catch
er, who replaced Cox behind the
willow, dropped the ball. Cosby
got on first on a passed ball, went
to third when Barnhart tossed
wild to Pinkston at second and
scored on Mannion’s sacrifice fly
to center. He was caught off the
plate by at least ten feet, but Barn
hart dropped the ball, and Cosby
romped across the rubber.
