Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

Just" Willard, the luGicrous heavy
weight mishap, has evidently been talk
ing IN his sleep again. \ couple of
nights ago he turned over in his bedfi,
woke up the whole neighbornood with
his shrieks, and then declared he was
just aching for fight with Jack Demp-
sey. As the champion has never had
a headache the pain must have been
in the spot where he lives.
AS soon as Wizards announcement
had been made public, and some Of the
ing it seriously, the Camembert champ
pulled the covers up over his dome
again and started to snore: "Im To Be
Queen of the May, Mother" and so
were just where we started from.
In the meantime, Dempsey is pre-
pairing to give another of his insomnia
treatments to a patient, this time the
venerable Gunboat Smith, that bar
nacled-covered hulk of pre-war days.
The Gunner, whose last appearance in
public was at the six-day bicycle race,
where he presided as chief of the
"bums rush" squad developed the
habit of going without sleep so acutely
while in the Garden that now he can't
sleep at all. at all, and so he has de-
cided to take ONE treatment at Dr.
Dempsey's hands.
The scene of this meeting will be in
the ring of the Queensberry A c.. in
Buffalo, on Monday night, and Doc
Dempsey has guaranteed a complete
cure for Gunboat in ten treatments, or
less. Jack points to his long list of
cures" with endorsements from Fred
Fulton, Battling Lcvinsky, Jim Flynn,
Carl Morris and dozen others, as
proof that his pills invariably pro-
duce refreshing slumber, particularly
when tatken on the tip of the chin
IT'S simple case of laying on the
hands," says Doctor Jack, in explain
ing the tremendous success of his
treatment.
