Restrictive Measures Counted.

Within the last few weeks consid-
cradle publicity has been given to
the claim that New York city, where
influenza restrictions were at the
minimum, had the lowest death rate
of all American cities. That this
claim cannot be substantiated by the
facts is clearly established by the
official death rates.
1t will be noted that New York
stands eighth on the list, while st.
Louis, where restrictive measures
were of a very rigid character, stands
third with a death rate of seventeen
percent lower than New York; and
.Chicago-where restrictive measures
were moderate-had a death rate OF
almost ten percent below that of the
eastern metropolis.
The relative death rates of the
three cities are not regarded as con-
elusive evidence thai rigid restrictive
measures resulted in lower mortality,
but they are at least suggestive.

i Knockout blows. Almost every fighter that Willard has faced has landed hard. and often upon the vulnerable spots, but Jess never even has been staggered
 But wait until Dempsey cluots him and a different story will be told" insist the followers of Jack Dempsey Taking punches from Frank Moran, Arthur Pel- key, Jack Johnson, Carl Morris, Dan Daley, Tom McMahon, Frank Bauer, Louis Fink and Al Williams is one thing Taking them from Jack Dempsey is an entirely different proposition Will lard never took on a real puneher in his whole career. Morris, Moran and John son perhaps were the best men he ever fought Morris was a joke as a hitter, and Moran wasn't an awful lot better Johnson could hit hard and true, but Johnson hit like a middleweight in com parison with Dempsey
 That boy is a punching marvel. Fitz- simmons was wonder, but even Fitz wasn't quite in Jacks class in walloping power And Fitz was slow and hit but seldom. He'd sort of set himself for the bacon producer Dempsey, on the other hand, hits with the speed of lightning flash. and he can put into each of those drives power enough to sink a tugboat"
 And because of that feeling and be- cause of the knowledge that nature has gwen the 190-pound Dempsey pair of hands, wrists and forearms equal in power to the immense Jess Willard, the supporters of Jack Dempsey continue to insist:
 Before nightfall of July there1l be new heavyweight champion of the world"
 All of which causes Jess Willard to smile and declare

Barons and "Razor Backs" Break Euen
Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES !. CoRBETT


 Those who have the idea that Jack Dempsey isn't big enough and hasn't enough punching power to drop Jess Willard should disabuse their minds of that belief
 Dempsey weighs only 19O or so, yet he has hands that are about as sizeable as the mighty paws of Willard, a wrist that IS even thicker and forearms that are only trifle inferior in size to the pom derous ones of the huge champion.
 The Utah youngster is something of a freak in the size and development of his lower arms. His measurements there are those of giant. His wrists measure inches compared with S1k for Willard And 1t must be remembered that the real punching power of every ringman really is generated in the forearm section. 1t matters but little how tremendous may be the power in the upper arms or in the shoulders. The crushing force comes from the region of the "maulies"
 And there it is that Dempsey is cer- tainly Willard's equal
 Comparative showings would indicate that Dempsey is Willard's peer as a puncher. Dempsey finished the ponder ous Carl Morris in 10 rounds, polished off Arthur Pelkey in about one minute krocked out Gunboat Smith in less than three rounds and dropped Charlie Miller of San Francisco, almost before Charlie had a chance to frisk around
 Willard couldn't stop any one of that quartet. Smith won a 20-round decision from him, Miller held him to a four round draw and both Pelkey and Morris travelled the full route in 10 rounders.
 Of course, it must be explained that Willard met those men while he was coming, whereas Dempsey stopped most of them while at the top of his form Just the same, facts are facts, and they show that Dempsey has out punched Willard in every meeting against the same men.
 Dempsey is the faster puncher of the two-that has ben demonstrated repeat edly And Dempsey can drop men with either hand, whereas Willard has relied almost entirely his right to win for him over the knockout poute. Maybe Jess will flash two-fisted work against Dempsey. But if he doesn't, the fact is obvious that Dempsey will have the ad- vantage in that way merely because a two-fisted fighter always has the edge on the man who depends almost solely on one favorite blow.
 One of the big factors that the Willard ties are banking on is the natural de- fense of the champion. Nature has en- dowed him with a stomach and a jaw that so far have been imperyious to
