post a forfeit of $500 as a challenge
to the winner Of the match. or for
both contestants In the event that

Although Norfolk Is only q 1G5-
FOUNDER, Flynn does not see how

Norfolk down. Norfolk won the
heavyweight championship of Pam

.BATTLERS NEAR
WEIGHT LIMITS
Dempsey Tips Beam at 20l
Pounds-Wllard Quickly
Getting Into Shape.

Toledo, Ohio, June 1.-THE fistic
world was given hugh surprise this
afternoon when Jack Dempsey stepped
on the scales at the Overland Club
and tipped the beam at 2ol pounds.
II was suspected that In view OF
the constant training of the big fel-
low. that he was under 100. but his
manager. Jack Kearns. put him on
the scales and the arrow marked the
20l mark. Jack had on his boxing
shoes and trunks. Stripped he prob
ably would weigh 800 pounds.
Jess Willard also furnished a sur
prise by travelling eleven rounds or
boxing He went three rounds each
with Walter Monahan. Jack Hemple
and Jack Heinen, and two with Joe
Chip. the New Castle middleweight.
A big crowd OF 1900 saw Jess toll.
Willard. who bobbed up in the ring
today wearing eight ounce mittens in
stead Of the fourteen ouncers he has
been employing. said this afternoon
after finishing his training stunts:
My partners have got to fight
and stand the gaff from now on. 1
am forced to cut loose to get ready.
They have the privilege of buf-
feting me all they please and have
all the best of IL working in rota-
tion. This way / will be at my
best for Dempsey. who will have to
box every round with me. instead
of every third one. ! am getting
better with each workout and am
highly pleased with the progress
am making.
Jess may go into battle with Jack
Dempsey on July 4 weighing around
240. the lowest fighting weight
since his earliest days in pugilism.
Willard is giving lot OF
thought to this weight matter. He
said today he is beginning to think
because of his present poundage
that a mistake was made at Ha-
vana when he fought johnson. and
that he then weighed 23sh instead
OF 2491z.
In any event. however. he will have
about fifty pounds on the challenger.
who will not go much over $50 at
the ringside.
That Ollie Pecord. the Toledo ref
cree will be the third man in the
ring at the Willard Dempsey fight
July was almost positively proven
today when Ad Thatcher. president
of the Toledo Athletic Club, who has
charge OF the preliminary bouts for
the big battle. named Billy Rocks.
of Detroit. as referee for the prelim-
mary bouts.
II Thatcher did not positively know
that Pecord would be the choice OF
the army. navy and civilian board
OF control. it is pointed out here. he
certainly would have invited Pecord
to referee the other bouts. Asking
the Detroit man to take charge seems
TO be the tiff-of on the big show.

SEND GRAIN men.
Federal Supervisors Will Be
Ordered to Kansas.
They VIII Assist the State
Grain Inspectors.

Federal grain supervisors are to be
sent to Kansas by the government to
assist the Kansas grain inspection de-
partment as we'll as producers and
dealers in the application of new in
spection standards. This assurance
was received by Governor Allen to-
day in a telegram from Clarence Gus
ley. acting secretary of the govern
ment department of agriculture. A
corps of supervisors will probably be
sent to this state next week.
Immediately following receipt of
the Ousley telegram Governor Allen
arranged for a conference early next
week with Senator Hart state grain
the inspection situation with govern
to establish uniform inspection and
grading standards in Kansas will be
conducted at once in order to prevent
confusion over wheat tests by local
buyers. Ousley's telegram was sent to
Governor Allen in response to the
state executives recent complaint to
Secretary Houston regarding irregu-
larities in making wheat tests.
Send at Least Five.
At least five or six supervisors are
to be sent to Kansas. If possible, the
government will station these men in
this state for period of sixty days. Il
is probable that immediate steps will
be taken to arrange for demonstrations
in a number of wheat growing counties
that producers and dealers may be ac-
quainted with the federal plan of in
spection and grading. Ousley assured
the governor that the federal depart
ment would cooperate in every man.
