sufficient to influence the people to

many who have not contributed to the

is made that those who think we'll Of

Although our quota has not been

To Demands
For a Decision
Pari Mutuel Operator
Cleared S82, 700 on Fight;
Willard Starts Home Soon

TOLEDO, July 6.-Because of the
controversy over the duration of the
heavyweight championship contest be-
tween Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey,
and whether Dempsey should be cred
tied with knockout, Ollie Pecord,
referee OF the independence Day
match. ruled tonight that Willard had
been knocked out in the third round.
Referee Pecord also ruled that the
fight ended at the close of the third
round, despite the fact that the towel
was not tossed into the ring from
.Willards corner until the bell had
sounded for the fourth round. Willard,
however, did not leave his chair to an
swer the call for the fourth round.
Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest,
requested an official ruling from
Pecord because of the hundreds of tele-
grams he received asking if Dempsey
Should be credited with a knockout vic
tory and when the bout was officially
ended.
c. B. shysler. of Chicago. who oper-
ated Pari-Mutuel machines and a book
OIL the contest, announced he had
cleared So2.T00. He said that if the
contest had ended in the first round
his winnings would have totalled
Sl26,S22. and if Willard had answered
the bell for the fourth round they
would have been reduced to $4,000.
Willard was disturbed tonight by
rumors that he was dying, that he had
been removed to hospital, and that
he Was dead. The defeated champion
has entirely recovered from the effects
of the punishment Dempsey gave him,
and has decided to motor to his home
in Lawrence, Kan, as soon as his in
jured eye is healed. Mrs. Willard and
a few personal friends will make the
trip with him.
Rickard announced that both the
boxers were paid in full last night.
Dempsey was given s27 800 in cash,
while Willard got $4,000 in Liberty
bonds. and the remaining $4,000 of
his 100000 guarantee in cash.

but Kramer passed him going into the

hard Kramer was never headed and
finished a length in front Goullet beat
Madden rather easily in his semi final.
