TWO MEN WE
FACE DEMPSEY
IN BIG BATTLE
---
NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (by Associated
Press).—Apparently Jack Dempsey
•will have to fight two men when he
meets Georges Carpentier for the
world’s heavyweight championship, if
the deductions of a London writer are
correct. According to this authority
Descamps, manager of Carpentier,
possesses some sort of a mystic eye
with which he cast a spell over Beck
ett in the recent battle in London,
with the result that the French pu
gilist had an easy task in knocking
out the befuddled Britisher.
In the words of the discoverer of
this alleged dual combination which
confronted poor Beckett during the 70
odd seconds he stood before Carpen
tier, the strange influence made its
effects felt as follows:
“There were two personalities fight
ing Joe Beckett from the moment he
entered the ring. Carpertier was one.
The other was Descamps, his man
ager. Descamps is a very excitable
man. He is a bundle of nerves, a
typically French, overflowing person
ality, whose individuality oozes from
every pore. He does not effervesce.
He exudes.
“Descamps says that when Carpen
tier meets Jack Dempsey Carpentier
will win in six rounds. Watch Des
camps. He is the man who is aiding
Carpentier with all mental force. His
mentality accompanies Carpentier
into the ring every fight. He is his
unseen, silent partner, and to him as
much as to Carpentier is Beckett in
debted for the blow on the jaw which
finished the fight and took the cham
pionship of Europe out of his reach.
“What was Descamps doing as
Beckett came into the ring? Those
who were near him tell me he was
watching Beckett intently. The fact
is, he began to fight Beckett as soon
as Beckett stepped into the ring.
Beckett was constantly glancing round
at Carpentier as he was getting his
gloves adjusted. There you have the
personality of Descamps beginning to
work, impinging itself on Beckett’s
brain and beginning its task of con
fusing the English boxer’s thoughts.
Possibly Descamps is not quite con
scious of his own power, but it is
there, all the same. This projection
——————
of personality is not hypnotism, but
it is to be seen operating everywhere.
“Descamps, they say, feels every
defeat of Carpentier as a defeat for
himself. If you took Descamps’ mind
to the analytical table you would find
that he would make a first-class me
dium. He is a psychic subject. His
personality stands beside Carpentier
in every match, for he has trained
Carpentier’s mind as well as his body.
Carpentier acts as • Descamps wills.
That is why Beckett made the mis
take at Holborn Stadium. Carpentier
alone he might have beaten. Carpen
tier and Descamps were too much
for him.”
VANCOUVER, WASH., MAY
CHANGE TOWN’S NAME
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 16 (by
Associated Press).—Vancouver needs
a new name, according to Clement
Scott, president of the Vancouver
Chamber of Commerce. A campaign
to change the town’s name may soon
be started.
People in other sections always con
fuse Vancouver, Washington, with
Vancouver, British Columbia, Mr.
Scott said recently. Hundreds of let
ters intended for Vancouver, Wash.,
fail to arrive here until they have
been sent to the Canadian city by
mistake, he added.
