Tex Richard Calls Off Tuo
Preliminary Bouts.
Special pespatcA TO Tnn So,

TOLEDO. Ohio. July 8.-Fearing that
tho fifty-four rounds OF boxing sched-
uied for tomorrow might become mon
otonous. Tex Richard to-day called on
two OF the eight round prellminaries.
This announcement was made after
the weather mans prediction OF con-
tinued hot weather, The fans who
wished to see the entire entertainment
would have to he in their unshaded
seats at 10 4. NJ.
Under the new condition, which re-
suited in tho cancelllng of the bouts
between Wop English and WhirIwind
Wendt and Battling Ballliere and
Johnny Rose tho show will start at noon.
The first bout will be between OBoyle
and Eppsteln. lis Founders, and Is sched-
uled for eight rounds. Johnny Lewis
Toledo lightweight. and Tommy Long
OF Detroit arc slated to clash In the
second eight round 60. Then follows
the ten round battle between Jock Ma
lone of st. Paul and Navy Roslan the
Chicago COB. Those who have seen
Dempsey's welterweigh: partner in ac-
ton say Roslan will have TO travel.
The semi-hnal will bring together

pion and the contender are scheduled

was the victor Pecord would have the
deciding vote.
But in the event that one Of the Judges
picked Willard as the winner and the
other Judge decided It was a draw, then
the referee would have the responsibility
OF naming the winner. He could cast
his vote for Willard as the winner. or he
could make the bout a draw by voting
with the other Judge. In addition, IL he
| thought the Willard and draw decisions
, were wrong the referee could name
Dempsey as the winner.
In amateur boxing the referee escapes
the responsibility by ordering another
round, and the judges again must de-
clare themselves. This cannot be done
in to-morrow's bout.
One departure from the Toledo rules
| refers to decisions on fouls. In the event
that the referee declares a foul he then
must consult with the Judges and get
the ratification OF one or both as 10 the
correctness OF his ruling.
This Is an excellent provision, for II
will prevent hasty decision on a foul.
II two Of the three officials decide that
foul has been committed II will be
strong evidence that the rule violation
was palpable.
May Use "Rabbit Killer"
There was much disappointment over
the failure OF the conference to bar out
the rabbit killer for II has no more place
in boxing contest than has the kidney
punch or the discredted pivot blow. In
all modern clubs these blows have been
thrown into tho discard with the
strange hold in wrestling.
However. there can be no misunder-
standing by any one as to the rules
under which the bout Is to be contested.
and the meeting to-day precludes the
possibility of any wrsngling in the ring
after the boxers get their gloves on.
Richards idea Is to have the men
enter the ring all prepared to box and
have them put up their hands as soon
as time arrives for the gong TO sound.

Richard the Big Winner.

Richard surely Is on Easy street. He
has about 100000 in the cash box
for reservations. His venture already
shows a handsome return. and the NOR
row with Its big rush still is to come.
A revised estimate of the capacity Of
the arena shows that there are about
$4,000 seats. with about $4,000 OF them
to go at $40. BY the way, the rough
necks who count on getting in for $40
and then rushing down into the higher
priced seats are going to be stung and
not entirely in a hgurative way. There
is a big barb wire fence separating the
tens from the other folks, and many
soldiers from Camp Sherman will be
on hand to see that the most venture
some do not try to go over the top.
After his visit to the city to-day VIII
lard returned TO his home on one OF
the fashionable residential streets and
spent the hot afternoon sitting about in
natures garb and talking Of the British
blimp, the wheat crop, the weather and
the like, with nary n mention OF the
fight. He held no consultations with
his trainers. In fact he ordered them
into town, even Ray Archer. his busi-
ness manager, was banished from the
social presence for the day.
willard had counted on going fishing
this afternoon, but was talked out OF
the trip by Richard. Tex is fearful OF
a last minute accident, SO he told the
champion to stay right at home. away
from the hot sun, where he could rest
and escape the possibility OF being
pulled overheard by one of Dempsey's
negro sparring partners disguised as
big fish.

Dempsey 10 Idle.

Dempsey spent the day doing nothing
in particular. 1t is true that most OF
the time he has to listen to Jack
Kearns, his manager. and that this, at
times entails great effort, but the chal-
lenger came out OF the day well and
sound. Tonight the battlers sleep
guarded ike champion thoroughbreds on
the eve OF the Kentucky Derby. like the
Defender and Challenger on the eve Of
an Americas Cup race, like money in
a vault and the sacred locks of the
prophet. Tonight Toledo makes merry,
for on the morrow a champion may go
to his fistic death.
That dinner that Willard was TO give
to the newspapermen after the fight to-
morrow was cancelled to-day. Perhaps
Willard remembered that JefYries
scheduled a similar affair after the night
with Johnson but had to cancel 1t at
the last minute. However. Willard
wants to rush right from the fight to
Lawrence, Kans.. where Mrs Willard
and the children will await dad. After
a few days with his family the cham
pion, whether he remains champion or
not, will go to New York on business.
Willard already has signed TO appear
In another moving picture. That in

LEGION STARTS
 ITS CAMPAIGN
 FOR MEMBERS

The American Legion in Bridgeport started today on a campaign intended to bring the membership to 1,5O0 by the end of this week. Former Major F. J. Adams is head of the move and his aides are R. s. Swain as secretary, and Charles Cyrus, treasurer.
 Men who served in the army, navy or marine cops between April 6, 1917, and November II, 1918, and who were honorably discharged from such service and are citizens of the United States, are eligible for membership.
 The founders of the legion among them the former lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, declare that the Legion will be non-military and non political This creed is also an nOunced by the people interested To- cally. Absolute equality regardless of rank held in service is another prin- ciple that is expected to appeal to the larger number of former service men.
 The local organization already has made considerable progress in the matter of securing a home in Golden Hill street
