Title Battle Is
Much Discussed
By Eastern Fans

New York, May S.-The Willard
Dempsey championship bout,
scheduled for July 4, is the one
topic of discussion among eastern
fight followers. While there is
evidence of a wide difference of
opinion regarding the outcome,
there is no record of wagering. In
fact, those who take more than a
passing interest in ring affairs find
it difficult to reconcile the idea Of
a heavyweight championship bat
tie with the 12-round contest which
it is proposed to stage on the
shores of Lake Erie.
The glamour which surrounded
the virtual fights to a finish in
in which Sullivan, Corbett. Fftz-
simmons, Jeffries and even John
son defended their titles appears
to be lacking in this contest 1t is
also a decided ring novelty for a
heavyweight champion to agree to
place his title in jeopardy by a
referees decision over such a
short route. Many expressed the
opinion that it showed remarkable
confidence on the part of Willard
TO defend his hOnors against the
rushing tactics of as formidable
an opponent as Jack Dempsey.
With the exception of the 10
round. no decision bout between
Willard and Frank Moran in this
city three years ago. which few
ring experts took seriously from
a title passing angle, there is no
record of such a short scheduled
battle in the modern history Of
heavyweight fighting.
Since the days of John L. Sulli-
van championship contests in this
class have ranged from 20 rounds
upwards. The SulliYan-Corbett
bout was scheduled for % rounds
A similar distance was set for the
Corbett- Fftzsimmon battle at Car
son City.
Jeffries won the title from Fitz-
simmons at Coney Island IN a fight
which was scheduled to go %
rounds. The JohnsOn-Jenries and
willard johnson bouts provided
for an extreme limit of more than
40 rounds.

The foregoing is the lineup Pro-

evening, May Is, at the Empire
rink. There seems to be little room
for Improvement
It wasn't until late yesterday aft
ernOon that Everett could be 10
Gated and his consent obtained to
box Jimmy Harris in the six round
semi-windup. And it should be
some scrap, one thft would be
looked upon with favor in many
fight centers as a fit windup attrac-
ton. Harris and Everett have
mixed several times previously and
have always furnished a thrilling,
enjoyable exhibition.
The two little fellows fought in
the semi to the Harry Greb-Bob
Moha scrap here last summer and
the fans who witnessed that mill
remember it with pleasure. 1t was
a pretty even affair with the opin-
ion of the fans divided on the out
come.
Both little fellows are clever,
with Harris the more heady of the
two, perhaps. This advantage is
practically offset by a punch and
an aggressive attack possessed by
Everett, a boxer who is after his
man at all times.
Betting Begins.
Much interest is being aroused
over the main go. Already num-
erUus wagers have been placed,
with the two bantams about
equally favored. Indications point
to an abundance of Mason money,
due to the fact that the Hoosier
battler is young and a conner.
Moore, on the other hand, has
fought something like 200 ring
battles.
