Trains In Ncwspaprrs
with each succeeding day since his
arrival here Jess has been training
harder--in the newspapers. To re-
flute the columns Of stuff which N
beir~ daily sent out by the combined
order OF press agents let me state
first Of all that Jess has no com
petent man as the head Of his train
ing camp. a man who understands
what real training Is. Walter Mona
chan. Jack Hemple and Joe Chip
constitute his sparring partners, the
two former having acted In the same
capacity while the champion was

had no real fight for 10 years. Hem
Die none in seven. and Chip being
nothing more than a weiterweignt
These are the men Jess is relying
on to get him into shape--but they
aren't, principally because he isn't
vitality interested IN defending his H.
lie. Is too lazy to buckle down to real
hard work. and is seemingly more
interested In the financial end than
the fistic outcome Of the battle.
All the talk about the hard work
Jess Is doing is so much bosh. The
day that he was supposed to have
worked on, with the puiieys. boxed
eight rounds and altogether worked
an hour and half In the hot sun.
he actually did twenty minutes Of
suarring-by the watch. That he
isn't In the pink Of condition that he
Is credited with Is evidenced by the
very story with which the soribes
sought to bolster up this assertion
namely that he boxed so hard with
his opponents that his arms turned
black and blue from the blows which
the latter landed on him. Ever hear
Of a boxers arms turning black and
blue when he was In the pink OF

viii Rush Champ

Willard probably is in for the
hardest fight OF his career against
Dempsey for unless Dempsey shows
a decided reversal OF form he will be
rushing the champion throughout
and willard will have TO fight lot
TO keep him away.
The sparring bout the fans at To
ledo like to watch is between Demp-
sey and kellar. kellar will slug
with the challenger at every oppor-
tunlty. Dempsey outciassed Davis
and at all times appeared too strong
for him. Davis gave UP the job
after being knocked groggy two
days in succession. Bill Tate. the
big negro. has been the most sue
cessful in keeping Dempsey's blows
from landing. He is mighty big. his
measurements comparing favorabiy
