New-York tribune., 1919-07-01


Dempsey have begun to ease up in
their rehoarsals. 1t was announced by
Jack kearns that Dempsey would do
only light work tomorrow at the same
price of admission. Willard will box
tomorrow and yet again Wednesday
so that the cash customers at the
camp will not be disappointed.
Willard is bit behind in the pre-
l.miAary collections anyhow, having
arrived on the ground later than
Dempsey, which was one Of mis- irst
f'nancial errors However. even John
D. Rockefeller has booted a deal once
or twice and Andrew Carnegie once
dropped dime.

Frank Moran, who came within a

down Willard was valiant but futile,

Francis visited both camps.
The one thing that impressed me
to-day" declared Charles trancis,
was that Willard's wind appeared to
be much better than Dempsey's. They
did about The same amount of work
mean that they went through the
same amount of exertlon and at the
end Willard looked fresher to me
than Dempsey, and was breathing the
more easily.
"Arother item that impressed me
was the fact that Dempsey can easily
be hit on the chin. And l want to
tell you that Dempsey cannot take

Willard boxed six rounds in all. He
showed best with Jack Hempcl, using
the right uppercut with great fire.
Quency and froce, shooting Hempel's
head back until it seemed that an
lect case into the lake. McAulitfe,
although he believes Dempsey will win,
has a wholesom respect for Wilard's
right uppercut. If his dope is crossed
Jack believes that Wizards right up
percut will be the blow to do it.
Cut is Not Damaging
The cut over Wizards eye did not
seem necessarily fatal injury to-
day. l do not think that it should
influence the betting any more than a
pimple on the fine Roman nose of the
Duke of Wellington should have in
fuenced the betting on the battle of
Waterloo.
Dempsey boxed a round each with
the two Senegambians, Bill Tate ard
the Jamaica Kid, and two sessions
with Jock Malone. Both William and
the purple coon are rejoicing that the
boxing periods have come TO a close
They have been suffering great physi-
cal and some mental anguish.
The gloves were tried on by both
eladiators to-day. Benny Leonard, the
lightweight champion, acted as ftter
on. 1t seems that Wizards gloves will
are larger than Qempsey's. The gloves
OF the contender win weigh the tradi
tional five ounces.
Il don't know which of these will
bring home the bacon said Dempsey
pensively as he clenchcd his maulies
with the gloves on them. "But one of
them surely will
