Jack DEMPS IS
new CHAMPION
WILLARD THREW
UP The SPONGE
cay UaIted Pros,

Toledo, O., July 5.-By virtue Of one
of the speediest and one-sided battles
that ever decided big fistic event
Jack Dempsey, who may now wish to
be known by his full voting name of
William Harrison Dempsey, yesterday
became the worlds champion heavy
weight boxer.
To all intents and purposes he has
whipped the huge Jess Willard. favor
ite in the meager betting, in one
round. Dempsey thought the ref
cree had announced him winner and
actually left the ring, but was called
back and the butchery continued for
two rounds more, when Jess. sitting
in his corner with a bewildered look
on his swollen countenance. failed to
respond to the gong for the fourth
round.
sit is no use to continue" said the
ex-champion. my strength went from
me in the first round.
The attendance was below expecta-
tions Seats were built for 10000
and the estimate was that not more
than half of these were occupied.
Spectators lost heavily. No betting
was reported at the ringside. nod was
there much elsewhere as far as could
be ascertained.
The heat of the day was terrific. in
tensified as it was by. the vast acreage
of green lumber. During the pre-
lfminary bouts. which lasted from IL
O'Clock to 2:30, the thermometer
jumped to 120 degrees. 1t showed
110 degrees when Willard and Demp-
sey entered the ring.
When Dempsey was proclaimed win
ner the crowd surged onto the mat in
a wild scramble to shake the hand of
the new champion. At times some of
them topped over onto the teleg-
raphers and reporters just below, who
were struggling in mad disorder to re-
port what had happened. Police
eventually dispersed them by hustling
Dempsey away.
Willard was taken to an automobile
and disappeared from the view of the
crowd.
While the passing of the heavy
weight championship was one of the
most dramatic events of modern ring
history. it was lacking entirely in high
class boxing With the exception oi
the first three snappy left jabs with
which Willard opened the contest, the
combat was simply series of terrific
drives and smashes, virtually all ol
which were delivered by Dempsey.

the second round, and Dempsey was
on him before the champion saw him
with his one good eye.
Third Round.
They met in mid-ring. Dempsey
uppercutted twice to the chin Will
lard fought back with two well-placed
uppercuts. Dempsey was hooking his
left to Willard's chin with great force.
clinch.
Dempsey Wins.
Wizards seconds tossed a towel in
the ring at the end Of the third round.
Willard could not respond and his
seconds took this action to save him
from humiliation OF the inevitable
knockout. 'Willard's face was badly
swollen. Dempsey kept boring in
with smashing right and left to the
chin. AS Willard reeled like a ship
in a storm. his face dripped blood.
Dempsey shot a right and left to the
chin. Willard staggered to his corner
with the right side OF his face nothing
but pulp His blows had no effect
on Dempsey The end came after a
half minutes rest between the third
and four rounds, when Willard's sec
onds tossed the towel into the ring.
Willard hit the canvas six times in
the first round. which lasted nearly
four minutes. owing to the fact that
Willard was on the floor taking the
count when the bell rang, and neither
of the principals nor the seconds or
referee knew that the round had been
finished.
The judges finally got the attention
of the men in the ring and in the
meantime the count of 10 had been
tolled over Willard. but the count
lapsed into the rest period. The Sec
ond round was ordered begun imme-
diately. WIZARDS defeat was cer-
tain, however, from that first round.

There are several hundred liter

Among the charitable requests
which the worthy literary gentlemen
(Marshals Joffre and Foch are
among them, and Georges Clemen-
ceau has been elected, after having
Knocked the Academy all his life)
have to administer and distribute are
many unusual ones. One of the re
cent requests was fund of 1900
francs ($2,400l which a group of
American artillery officers at the
Camp de Mailly in Champagne, had
collected and donated for the educa-
ton of the daughter of a French
man killed at the front, preferably a
girl born near Camp de Mailly.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, April Notwithstanding that

the highest prices yet this season, weak
ness prevailed in the market as a whole

Oats lost nc to lie. In provisions the
outcome ranged from 1Oc decline to 40c

Selling pressure on corn seemed to be
directed chiefly against the May delv-
cry. The later months. too, suffered from
liquidation but not until the May-July diff
ference had become &c narrower than was
the case earlier in the week. Cash houses
led the selling of May. One of their rep.
resentatives said he could not find man
who was sending any bids out to rural
holders--that buyers were filled up and
did not care to accumulate much of
stock at current premiums Renewed
advices that labor difficulties at Buenos
Aires were again threatening to curtail
Argentine exports had only a transient
bullish effect.

Lack of Witnesses Causes
POStpOnement of Hearinu

Ten days have proved INSULT
cient for the county attorney and
the South Side police court officials
to gather state witnesses in the pre-
liminary hearing of Jacob Kobielak
and John Petroski, charged with
manslaughter in connection with the
death of A. Socha. The hearing
was postponed for the third time
Saturday morning because there
were no state witnesses present.
Sunday morning of last week
Socha succumbed to the injuries he
received when his body was inflated
with compressed air from an air
pump on the canning floor of the
Cudahy Packing company. His two
fellow workmen. Petroski and Kobi-
elak, are charged with having unin-
tcntionally caused his death.
