]. ON EVE OF BATTLE RIVAL FIGHTERS
 MAKE STATEMENTS

Toledo. July s.-In statements Willard and Dempsey gave their views on the contest of tomorrow as follows:
 Champion Jess Willard saidi
 WILLARD'S STATEMENT
 "From, the day I signed the con- tract to defend the championship it has been my one idea to enter the ring in condition to give my best effcrts to the public to tituInr honors which am fortunate enough to hold.
 sT have trained with this in mind for n period of more than three months to tho best of my ability and intend to give every ounce of strength and degree of skill that l possess to the defense of the championship. l know that some followers of boxing do not agree with my systerm of training. but I am convinced l know myself and my conditioning requirements. I believe that I am in perfect shape and confident that I shall success- fully defend the championship. If it should prove that I am wrong, l shall stand up like a man and admit the superior boxing ability of my opponent without quibbie, excuse or aIibi. Beyond that I feel that events must speak for themselves"
 Challenger Jack Dempsey fore casted his victory in the following words;
 DEMPSEY'S STATEMENT
 "Sfx weeks of consistent train- ing has made me fit fer the big event of my life. In all my career I never felt better than I do right now and I am as certain of victory as man can he. The bigness of Willard does not bother me. I like the big ones. Carl Morris and Fred Fulton were not dwarfs and I put both of them away, doing the trick each time in less than one round. No man in the world can withstand the attack I will wage when l en- ter the ring with Willard. My youth, strength and natural fight ing ability will prove more than m, offset to the ~xtr:, pOundage of the champion. That I have real confidence in my ability to take the title away from Willard is to be believed. I have never yet met q man l feared. They all look alike to me, and unless Willard is the superman claimed by his supporters I will knock him out in hurry. I would not be surprised to list him along with Fulton, Morris and the other one rOunders. He may get by the first round, but If he does he is only framing a lot of trouble for himself. I'm sure ready to go to him. I hope it is a good battle, no matter how short it is. Take it from me. though. you are talking to the winner."

sey has achieved a remarkable ring record with his incessant rushing, free hitting type of offense. His followers base their predictions of his victory on his ability to rush and batter his way through Wiilards guard and reach vulnerable spot with one or more of the crushing blows which has disposed of so many previous oppon- ents
 Dempsey is considered a more ag- gressive type of boxer than Willard, put the champion has always heen thought to have a store of reserve strength upon which to draw should the occasion demand. While his knock out record Is not nearly as impressive as that Of the challenger. the cham pion has at times shown flashes of tremendous speed and hitting power IuIly In keeping with his huge bulk Many close observers hold the opinion that the Fourth of July bout will catl thls into use if he Is to triumph over his youthful and hard-hitting rival
 While neither boxer has made any public statement regarding his plan of ring campaign, reports from the training quarters of the men indicate that there will be little time wasted in long range sparring during the early rounds of the contest at least. Dempsey is noted for his eagerness to get in close quarters with an opponent and standing toe to toe to demonstrate e that he is the better man in a twp listed combat. This is not as a rule the system adopted by Willard, bYt it is said by close friends of the title holder that he has been greatly dis pleased by reports of alleged indiffer- ent training and inability to meet Dempsey at his own game, despite his physlcal advantages. In discussing this angle of the match, the cham pion's closest friends indicate that their belief is that he will startle the boxing world by display of aggres- siyeness and hard fast hitting here tofore foreign to his ring campaigns Willard evidently expects some close action, for he has requested that no at tention be paid to an unintentional foul committed by his opponent.

Like sunshine after rain was that tri- umph over the league leaders yesterday
 Morrison will pitch one of the games today and Coffindaffer or Crews the ether. We saw Crews shut out the Pels in beautiful game down in New Or leans about two months ago.
 Birmingham apparently believes that Willard is going to win, although nearly everybody is pulling for Dempsey. Even money on the champion went begging last night, but Dempsey packers were willing to lay 8 to 10 on their favorite.
 A prominent gambler who is at the ringsde wired his friends here to back Dempsey to the limit.
 Make your guess now. Ours is that Dempsey will knock Jess out in the tenth round.
 Hub Perdue and Red Torkelson the two Pel pitchers who have been accused of using the emery ball, were indignant when questioned about it yesterday 'I hope they do think use the emery ball. said Red; 'itll make 'em scared when they come up to bat"
 Dobbs and Torkelson were especially dsgusted at the talk about Babe Roberts and the emery ball. Why, that kid doesn't know what an emery ball is. said Torkelson. Hub Perdue declared that he carried rosin in that sack on his belt.
 New Orleans hurlers may not use the doctored ball, but it's funny how they pitch shut-out games at home and are batted all over the lot when they get on foreign soil.
 Willard weighs 50 pounds more than Dempsey. Kirk Moore tips the beam al 5o pounds more than Willard, but Kirk would have a fat chance with either of them. Don't count too much on beef.

SPECULATORS LOSE ON FIGHT TICKETS Battle Arena to Be Hottest Place in the United

Toledo. July 3.-Thc fight crowd
 gathering here was growing to
 marked extent tonight, but not

 gloom observed the faces of
 ticket speculators. They were to-
 night in many prominent places
 offering their commodity at less
 than gate prices, although the
 more optimistic were holding back
 in hope of boom tomorrow fore

 One reason is that S0 900 seats is lot of seats, and it became apparent that anyone desiring to witness the big show tomorrow could do so at the legal prices.

SThis talk about the emery ball is nothing new. For years it's been the aIibi of losing teams. When my boys are beaten they don't go out and holIer about un- derhand work. Last year there was some talk about Slapnicka using the emery ball, but I never paid any attention to 1t.

There are so many unusual angles to Fridays contest that this Is not considered, however an axiom to- night.
