FIGHTERS EVENLY MATCHED;
RECORD RECEIPTS ASSURED
NEW YORK, June 30—With a
difference in weight of about twenty
pounds when they meet in the ring
on Saturday, Dempsey and Carpen
tier otherwise will appear almost
equal in build and stature. If both
were to mix in among a few col
legiate athletes, football players
and oarsmen, probably neither of
them would be picked out as being
unusually big or formidable in gen
eral makeup. Dempsey stands six
feet, one and one-half inches in
height, just two inches taller than
the French champion, and while |
Carpentier will enter the ring at
about 170 pounds, Dempsey expect
to weigh about 190 pounds.
The champion’s shoulders are
broad, while Carpentier’s are slop
ing in shape, but otherwise the
body measurements of the pair do
not differ to any marked extent.
Experts who have seen both men
are satisfied that they will be well
matched in speed and cleverness
but the majority believe that the
American will carry by far the
heavier weight in his blows. Dexter- J
ity and suppleness are claimed as
advantages for the Frenchman by
his followers but just how hard a
punch he can deliver is much of a
mystery.
Dempsey showed in his bout with
Willard, at Toledo, that his blows
possess enormous punishing power
but his more recent encounters with
Bill Brennan, at Madison Square
Garden, did not demonstrate that he
still retains the forceful punch
necessary to successfully stand off a
man of Carpentier’s undoubted abil
ity and cleverness.
Just how good the challenger is
or how hard a blow he can land is
problematical to the majority of
American fistic patrons, who have j
seen him in action. His only bouij
here, that with Levinsky, in Jersey
City, last year, did not afford much j
of a line on Carpentier’s prowess. |
Levinsky, always a clever boxer, j
made practically no serious effortI
to defend himself on that occasion,
and went down and out an easy
victim for the Frenchman in the
fourth round.
Nearly 30 years have elapsed since
tjueensberry rules and glove contests
were substituted for t.he London
prize ring code governing pugilistic
contests for championship titles. In
most of the bouts fought for the
heavyweight championship since the
change took place, there was a de
cided advantage in stature between
the principals, but this did not al
ways carry victory with it.
Beginning with the Corbett-Sulli
van battle at New Orleans in 1892,
the big Boston man was massive in
proportion to the lithe, supple and
extremely clever Californian but the
smaller man bore the big champion
down and annexed the title in the
21st. round. Corbett was nearly two
inches taller but 15 pounds lighter
than Sullivan.
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons were
more evenly matched in height and
age. Corbett was half an inchi taller
and four years younger than the
Cornishman but he was nearly 201
pounds heavier than Fitzsimmons
when the latter knocked him out ■
and won the title at Carson City. J
March 17, 1897.
Two years later James J. Jeffries
of huge build and outweighing Fitz
simmons by fully 50 pounds, won the
title in 11 rounds from Bob at
Cooney Island, and five months later
November, 1899, Jeffries got a
referee’s decision over Tom Shark
ey, in a 20-round bout in the same
arena. Sharkey was several inches
shorter and about 20 pounds lighter
than the then champion.
Corbett challenged Jeffries twice
for the title but was knocked out
by the bigger man each time, once
in 23 rounds and the next time in
ten rounds.
Jack Johnson, the negro, who de
feated Jeffries at Reno, in 1910,
was nearer to the big man’s size
than any of the other heavyweights
who had met him for the title in
the previous ten years. Johnson was
three years younger, one inch short
er and only ten pounds lighter
than the Ohioan. Johnson scored a
knockout in 15 rounds.
Jess Willard, the giant Kansan,
was by all odds the biggest man
who ever held the world’s heavy- j
weight title. He stood 6 feet 6 inch
es, weighed 250 pounds and had de
sided advantages in every way over
Johnson when he won from the
negro at Havana, in 1915. When he
met Dempsey, two years ago, these
physical advantages did not enable
him to withstand Dempsey’s sudden
onslaught, as he confessed after- j
ward that he did not remember j
much after he was knocked down
in the opening round.
Big Gate Receipt*
The Dempsey-Carpentier bout for
the world’s championship, at Jersey
City, on Saturday, will draw the
greatest “gate” in the history of
sport.
A month before the fight, Pro
moter “Tex” Rickard announced
that the seat sales totaled $650,000.
Since that day, the sale of all seats
has gone on briskly except for the
$50 pasteboards, which are sold out,
and the general admission seats, to
be placed on sale the day of the
fight. Rickard estimates that approx
imately 65,000 persons will pay a
million dollars to view the ring
action at Boyle’s Thirty Acres.
Those figures will eclipse by far
all previous records for ring con
tests or any other sport in this
country. The Willard-Dempsey bat
tle at Toledo, which established the
previous record, drew $451,000 at
the box office, a puny figure as com
pared with what the coming fight
will attract.
The Harvard-Yale football game
and the Indianapolis Speedway races
are annually reckoned among the
largest and most widely patronized
sporting events in this country. Last
fall, 79,000 persons were jammed
into the Yale bowl when Harvard
met the Bulldog, and the total re
ceipts were approximately a quart
er of a million dollars. The attend
ance at the Indianapolis Speedway
event usually ranges between 100,
000 and 125,000, but the total re
ceipts fall short of what Rickard
and his assistants will have gathered
in when the gong sounds for the
first round of the Jersey City battle.
