financial success for what probably,
will be>the greatest sporting event in

This sum does not take. into account
money paid for tickets in agencies in
other cities, nor the tickets held in
reservation for which certified checks
have no been received.
There are plenty of choice seats
available" Richard said today, ode
spite the tremendous advance Sale. A
great many reservations are being
temporarily held up pending definite
ruling from the railroad administra-
tion in regard to~the operation of spe-
cial trains. I expect q favorable ruiz
ing in this regard within a day or
two"
Tomorrow will end Dempsey's en-
forcedsvacation. The challenger, kept
idle since Sunday. because Of the cut
over his right eye. will resume work.
willard said today that his training
had reached the point where the
amount of work he accomplished each
day is entirely dependent upon the
amount of punishment his sparrine
partners a. assimilate. All Of them

ment attack"

<By N. E. BROWN


Toledo. o., June 19.-Many Of VIII
lard's boosters are urging him to hire
a competent, trainer and more spar,
ring partners to assist him in prepar-
ing for his affair with Dempsey July
Fourth. They point to the fact that
the challenger mas Jimmy De Forest,
q renowned trainer. bossing his train
ing and is constantly after more SPAR
ring aides.
To many outsiders 1t, does look as
though Willard ID overlooking a bet.
Here's Wizards side of the matter:
nothing to gain in this fight with
Dempsey" he said during a chat. II
would. be foolish to overlook a bet.
Now I know how l trained for my
fight with Johnson. No one knows
better than / how to get myself in
the shape I want to be for the bout.
Then why should I hire some person,
even though he be we'll known ais a
trainer. and take a chance on his
system?
Discusses Sparring PartneeA
AS to sparring partners. I've got
about the best ones in the business.
You wouldn't want better ones. Be-
sides this I. can't hire everyone that
comes along for a sparring partner
because (and this, coming from the
giant, sounded funny) you can't tell
what some of them might do. I'd
stake my life on the boys I've got with
me-"
This last remark Of Wizards
brought out what is probably Jess
most pronounced trait-his suspici-
business Of people.
This wariness causes the impress
sion sometimes that he is conceited
or a bit ''uppish.' But the minute he
knows who you are and what your
mission is he is at ease, and there is
no cause to think that he is stuck up.
