James j. J%effries, former heavyweight
champion, today for the first time
viewed Wizards workout and expressed
the opinion willard was in shape to
give a good account Of himself July 4.
when he meets Jack Dempsey in
Toledo.
TOLEDO, O., May 27.-Boxing with
the speed and dash Of n lightweight,
Jack Dempsey yesterday stepped four
rounds with Bill Tate, the giant negro
sparring partner, in the festest workout
the challenger has had since he began
training for his championship battle
with Jess Willard here July 4. Demp-
sey went through his PAGES yesterday
morning as Trainer Jimmy De Forest
believed the heat Of the midafternoon
would make strenuous boxing unpleas-
n When the crowd arrived in camp
this afternoon Dempsey was obliged to
do some shadow boxing, Juggling at the
weights n bag punching to satisfy
the hundreds of onlookers who made
the trip to CAM with the expectations
Of seeing some ring work.
Tex Richard, promoter of the con-
test, IA a visitor at the camp. Richard
heard nothing definite in regard to will
l3rd's departure from Los Angeles, but
assumed that the champion had started
for Toledo as scheduled. Ray Q. Archer,
Wizards business representative, is on
the way here, having left the coast yes
terday.
Misfortune trailed the Dempsey camp
all day. To escape colliding with an
automobile at one OF the busiest street
corners in the city, Jack Kearns, man
ager of the challenger, drove his ma
chine into a motorcycle attached to the
army recruiting service and seriously
injured we soldiers. The motorcycle
and side car was wrecked. Kearns
rushed the injured soldiers to n hos
pital and then drove his car to a garage
for repairs.
COLUMBUS, Q, May IA bill de-
signed to give Gov. Cox authority to
revoke the permit given by the Toledo
boxing commission for the Willard
Dempsey fight, July 4. was introduced
In the house Of representatives by Rep
resentative Dunn, OF Wood county, last
night, 1t carries an emergency clause
which, II adopted by a two-thirds vote,
will make the measure effective on be-
ing signed by the governor.
The bill provides that the permit
may be revoked by the governor, II,
In his judgment, the exercise or exhibit
| ton Is likely to partake of the nature
| Of a prize fight, although the partici-
pants therein are hired at a definite
compensation
Unless the bill is passed ms an emer-
gency measure, which its opponents say
cannot be done. it will be without effect
as otherwise 1t would nave to lay over
for 30 days before becoming operative In
which time the fight would have been
held.
TOLEDO, O., May 27.-Promoter
Richard declined last night to comment
on the bill introduced in the Ohio legis-
lature yesterday giving Gov, Cox au-
thority to revoke the permit for the
| Dempsey Willard match.
ITS nothing more than I expected,
Richard said. Several elements have
expressed themselves as opposed to the

ALL RECORDS FOR. | ALTITUDE BROKEN BY ROLAND ROHLFE
By Asssoiatss Prsc

Mineola, N r, September 1S--A new world altitude record is believed to have been made here today whom Ro- land Rohlfe' test pilot for the Curtiss Airplane company, scared 34,s1o feet above sea level according to the of- ficial barograph, in 7S minutes. As Roosevelt Field, his starting point ts 110 feet above sea level, Rohlfs actual ly climbed s4,Soo feet according to the barograph. His altimeter registered S4,4oo feet.
 These figures will have to be certi- fled by the government bureau of standards at Washington before they are registered by the Aero Club of America as official. The tower figure that of Rohlfs' altimeter. is consider ably higher than the previous record claimed by the French aviator, Ad- jutant Casale, who rose 33.136 feet at Paris in June. Casale's figures have not been officially registered.
 The first person to reach Rohlfs when he landed, within 20 feet of his starting point was his wife. Ho leaned from his car and kissed her, exclairn- ing:
 q think I've done it this time, all right"
 T reached the greatest altitude aft CT climbing 7S minutes" he said, land maintained that altitude about 20 min- utes. I made the first 10000 feet in eight minutes. At height of about 31. 900 feet my machine dropped about GOO feet. The machine turned over on it's ear and kept going from side to side with an oscillating movement II was terrible. After working with the mechanism for some time finally put on high speed and found the ma chine lighted itself and began to climb again. started to use the oxy- gen tanks about 10000 feet up. If the oxygen had failed for second would have been done for. At my greatest height the temperature was 43 degrees below zero.
 "A peculiar thing that I noticed was sort of nervous twitching on my body where I have scars as the result | of burns recveived several years ago. i These began to pull and twitch and it
 lasted for quite while. My teeth ached, too.

 records have been beaten. I am sat- isfied this machine can't be made to
 go any higher with it's present equip
 ment- I am through-with high flying l for the present"
