Fans Regard Return Of Jess
Willard To Ring As Joke

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-Ths public
~ viii not take the reports seriously
about Jess willard being anxious 20
tight Dempsey again until he goes
cut ana beats some other fighters
and shows that he has regained q
.semblancs OF his fighting ability.
Willard perhaps would like to sign
with Dempsey without bothering with
any one else. He might figure that

the losers end would be sufficient
compensation for his efforts.
Public Not Foolish.
The public is easy going forget
ful and often bunked- But Il would
hardly fan for Jess after mis- pitful
exhibition at Toledo on July Z last
unless he gave all evidence Of war

As matter OF fact Willard in
all probability cannot get in
condition for a real hard fight-
He looked all right and thought
he was In shape at Toledo. but he r.

that he Is passe, there a. one
way for him 10 prove Il. That Is
TO gOtout and train for six or
eight weeks doing a lot OF road
work. and then face some fairly
nard uumeher Ike Bill Breuuu OF
Fred Fuller, in the ring.
Should he be able 20 stop either Of
these men. then he would be justified On
asking consideration for a return bout
with Dempsey.

i looked as though Dempsey was
doing his best to stop Aliske. but
the latter fooled him BIZ using jab
