certain that the larger the number
of soldier boys that elects to engage

WILLARD OPPOSED TO
HEAVILY TAPPED HANDS
He Will Try to Prevent DEMPSEY
fro:' Making His Hands Look
Hard as a Club.

Toledo, June 23.-Jack Dempsey
challenger for the heavyweigh
championship, will mot be permitted
to enter the ring against Jess Willard
here July 4 with heavily taped hands
II Willard can prevent it. The
champion announced that he intend-
ed to request the Toledo boxing COM
mission and the referee to rule that
he and Dempsey go to the ring side
with nothing at all on their hands
and have the tape put on while in
their corners.
The champion declared himself in
favor of plain cotton bandages with
possibly couple of layers of sur
gical tape wrapped around to hold
the bandages in place.
That is all l care to use and 7
think Dempsey should feel the same
way about it," Willard said. II be-
lieve it always looks bad to the spec
tators to see boxer come into the
ring with his honds looking as hard
as club because protected by some
heavy material"
Jack kearns, manager of the chal-
lenger, said he was willing to abide
by the decision of the boxing com
mission on choice of the referee and
that he was willing to have the
bandaging done while in the ring,
although it would unnecessarily de-
lay starting the contest.
