WOMEN PICK DEMPSEY
He Is Unmarried and Is More Warm.
Hearted.
BY BUDA STEPHENS.
On Detroit News1

Yin NeWS.)
Toledo, o.. June 2S.-Mr. Dempsey
will surely win the boxing contest to
be held here on the Fourth of July.
All the lady fans think so, too, be-
cause first of all
Dempsey is unmarried.
He is only % years old.
He has a romantic sparkle in his
deep brown eyes.
His hair is sorta curly.
He has gentle. yes, almost tender,
captivating smile.
He acts real interested when he
shakes hands with a girl.
And IL handshakes are any indica-
ton of the ultimate issue in this little
fisticuff business, Mr.. Dempsey will
make Mr.. Willard look all bent over,
like the Tower of Pisa.
When Mr.. Heavy Weight Willard
shakes hands with you 1t is like a ca s.
ual handclasp with some affable bust
ness man. He is unaffected, poised,
gracious and hates people who insist
on talking flight" to him
When Jack Dempsey shakes hands
with q girl, or a man or a child, he
gives you something of himself. You
can sense the super-power and tre-
mendous vitality of the man in his
warm handshake. OF course, you re-
member that you are in the clutch of
the most vicious forearm in the his
tory of the ring" but not a flutter of
fear comes into your heart as he
squeezes your hand. because Dempsey
has an Unborn natural sweetness that
makes him a favorite with the women

Sparring Partner Says Bout

Dempsey's Blows VIII Not Hurt

Toledo Fast Becoming Mecca of
Sporting World.

Toledo, o., June 2s.-victory for
Jess Willard with a knockout within
five rounds in his heavyweight cham
pionship contest with Jack Dempsey
here July 4. was the prediction today
of Walter Monahan, chief sparring
partner for the champion. Monahan
based his prediction on his close
knowledge of WIZARDS physical con-
dition. gained thru several years of
work with him. 1t was Monahan who

with Jack johnson at Havana.
Behind that covering of flesh on

that the champion is not in condition.
is a wall of muscle, Monahan said to-
day He asserted that the muscles
protecting Wizards stomach are like
rods of iron and that Dempsey will
not be able to hurt him with stomach
punches.
Dempsey will be the most sur.
prised man in the world when he let's
fly at WIZARDS stomach with all the
power of his punches and finds that
his blows will do no damage" Mona
han said. Dempsey also will get a
shock when he learns how exceedingly
difficult Willard will be to hit solidly.
Jess Will be a greatly changed man
in the ring. He has not attempted

he believes it is not necessary to un-
duly misuse them. But when he gets
into the ring next Friday it will be a
different Willard than the man the
public has been watching in his train
ing bouts.
VIII Wear Dempsey Out.
1T is my honest opinion that
Dempsey will wear himself out with
ms dashing attack within three
rounds. Then he will be ready for
whatever Willard wants to hand him.
Dempsey will not be able to avoid Will

stop players from driving into him

casually walks over to the ball be-

into him, tees up the ball and drives
it as far as he can into the rough.
Then, when the owner of the ball
comes up and makes a kick, he apollo
gizes very profusely and says he
thought 1t was a lost ball.

MORE TENNIS COURTS
Committee of Citizens Demands fni-
provements in Parks.

Complaints of lack OF equipment in
westiawn park, and in other city
parks. were made today by a COM
mittee from the Central CongreSa-
tional church, composed of c. J. Evans
and c. H. Marshall
These nnen called on Commissioners
McGiffert to see IL anything could De
done The commissioner was not in,
but they were informed that owing to
a lack of money it would be impossible
to get any more done in the parks
this year than has already been ae-
complished.
The present difficulty seems to be
an inadequate number of tennis CO -rts
that are not marked, Marshall sug-
gests that white tape for marking
tennis courts be purchased and the
courts laid out according to the regu-
lation markings. He intends to push
the matter with Commissioner McGif-
fert to see what can be done. If il
develops that the city is unabls to
purchase the equipment ii is felt Is
necessary. Marshall says that the
committee will try to obtain permits
sion to raise the needed money In
their community and make the Inn
provements themselves.

out with Jess in those days feel that
they did a great work in helping to
develop the man who has proven to
be the most formidable fighter of
modern days, and they proudly tell of
the time when Jess Willard gave me
a lickin.'
His Cowboy Days.
Emmett is where Jess Willard
spent his cowboy days. One OF his
most profitable and pleasant pasrimes
was the shipping in of wild horses
from the open ranges of Wyoming,
the breaking of them, and the selling
of them to the farmers of the neigh
borhood.
Emmett also gave Willard his
business manager. Ray o. Archer
was at that time the owner of a drug
store in Emmett and it is. generally
believed that Archer more than any
other man is responsible for Willard
taking up the fistic profession. Arch
er's constant urge was for Jess to take
up either fighting or wrestling and
success crowned his efforts when the
call went forth from the four corners
of the globe for a man to wrest back
the supremacy of the white race in
the roped arena"
So 1t is that Emmett, Kan, backs
Jess Willard to the limit. And IL on
the seventh day hereafter the worlds
laurel crown no longer decks Will
lard's lofty brow. Emmett will be
broken in purse and broken in spirit.
In fact. Emmett will have tasted the
bitterest tears of the slough of de-
spond.

I'm those days Emmett was consid-
cred a pretty tough place what with
the number of fights being pulled off
as a part of the regular routine of life.
Later results, however, prove that this
ancient rouShness was justifiable. for
we were developing the man who was
destined to re-establish the supremacy
OF the white race.
His First Fights.
The livery barn was the clearing
house OF the town for the settling of
all and sundry disputes in the old
fashioned way. The stable was the
prime hangout and meeting place for
the young bloods of the town. and
many and CORY were the battles fought
in the shade of the old willard barns.
And all during the three years when
Willard was the proprietor of the town
livery. he was the impartial referee
in all the fistic arguments which took
place in and around his place of busi-
ness. Incidentally the precints and the
environs OF the old barn were where
the present champion fought his first
fights And his first fights were not
under the oueensbury Jurisdiction nor
was the advance and retreat OF the
contestants limited by the bounds of a
roped arena.

war footing to peace footing, but o
general program has been mapped out
to be adjusted and readjusted as needs
require, for chapter, division and ma
tional organizations.
Between Nov. 2 and IL the Red
Cross will call its roll for the third
time and ask the people to give vote
of confidence in the past performances,
and reaffirmation of the principles
which will guide it's progress in the
future.
The war activities have not all been
stopped, and will not be stopped until
the last American soldier is home and
able once again to take his place in the
business or industrial world. The sol
dier's family also must be cheered and
comforted and assisted until he is
able to care for them. No program
can be laid down by the Red Cross
that does not include this unfinished
war work as first obligation.
Ever since the organization of the
Red Cross there have been responsible
tiles which now have become tradi-
tional. These include service to the
standing army and naval forces, miti-
cation Of suffering either at home or
abroad from famine, fire, floods or
great disasters. The Red Cross also
must continue and broaden its work
in the field of nursing, maintain its
courses In first aid, dieteticS and home
care of the sick.
New responsibilities have come with
the war. Higher standards have been
set up by individuals and nations in
regard to human life saving, and pre-
venting needless suffering. In con-
nection with the new tasks these re-
sponsibilities entail, the Red Cross will
assist, stimulate and supplement, but
not supplant, local agencies engaged
in the same lines Of endeavor.
The volunteer spirit which brought
such a measure of success during the
war, will be carefully nurtured. We
will need volunteers to conduct the
Third Roll CAN and when emergencies
arise we will call for volunteers to
assist if necessary.
The Third Roll Call in the Central
Division will be held to enroll 4,000,'
600 annual dollar members for 1926
and to raise 100000 in the five
states in the division. Illinois, Iowa
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Every membership is a vote of con
fidence in the Req Cross, each dollar
means the lifting of some burden.
The Red Cross needs universal co
operation In carrying out its peace
program. 1t needs the hearts Of the
millions who enrolled during the sec
| ond roll call.
1t needs YOU.
