Jack in Very Pink of Condition

BY JACK DEMPSEY.

TOLEDO, O., July 4.-It's all over
boys. Ny long stretch Of toll that
has put m in as fine a condition for
the title battle on the Fourth as that
up and I'm ready.
! can see where l might be worried
II ! didn't feel l had something on Will
lard, but knowing that / am going to
win his bout, and that | am going
to win decisiveIy, I haven't the slightest
feeling of nervousness
DR.. Joe Sweeney, official physician
for the Toledo Boxing Commission, Wis.,
tied me today and gave me an exami-
nation. While l knew l was perfectly
all right, still it made me feel good to
have him say so.
The doctor told me Willard was in
excellent condition and that he was
capable of going along with me II he
weren't hurt. I'm glad Of that, for I
want to lick a man, not a cripple or a
decrepit old relic.
The doctor also Showed me two spots
where l might be put away If Willard
reaches them. One is the solar plexus
and the other is the spot over the liver,
He Informed me he told Willard the
same thing. / wonder If 1 can reach
either spot on the body of the big
champion? Well, I'll try.
The doc also gave me some good tips
on breathing. Heretofore l thought
deep breathing should be from the
chest. He explained that l should in
hale from the bottom of the diaphragm,
whatever that is.
In the last two days I've seen more
newspaper men than I thought were in
the world. The boys nave treated me
s%plendidly and I'll never forget their
kindness.
1t has given me a Tot or satisfaction
to find that Bill Tate and Jamaica Kid,
after having been roughed week after
week, have taken their hard-earned
money and placed It on me to win.
That's a tribute I appreciate. l trust
their confidence isn't misplaced.
Sleeping hasn't bothered me.

RECALLING DARCY.

Just u little more than two years &
Les Darcy, AuStralia's great middle
weight, died in Memphis of a strepto-
cocCus infection. as the doctors termed
4, ~ aH Dc exact the 0"'' VIII" May
Those who recall the circumstances
wonder why It is that Darcy was hound
ed like a dog because he left his ma
tive land without a uniform, when both
Jess Willard and lack Dempsey n
stay at home and ever then get away
with It.
When James Lester left the Anti
podes he was the acknowledged mid
dleweight champion Of the world, ac-
credited with a healthy string Of knock
outs and heralded as the greatest Aus
tralian since FitSsimmons.
Tho facts in the case were as fol-
lows: Darcy, at the time, 20 years Of
ge, left Australia a. a stoker and
worked his way TO the states, He was
a member of a family Of II plus an
aged father and an invalid mother and
he was the principal support OF the
array.
Yet when he arrived, in the land Of
the bun and the home OF the brave
he found the doors barred against him
mainly through the activities Of Gov.
Whitman OF New York, who Is thought
to have instituted n nationwide propa-
Handa against the a ana most
upright fighter that ever lived, This
statement stands beyond rctraction for
after six weeks of intimate association
with Darcy he displayed too many
sterling qualities to be denied his right
full place upon the crest,
But he wasn't allowed to fight. Whit
man branded him "A ''slacker' for hav-
ing left a country where compulsory
military service was not In vogue and
even sought the aid OF other powers
to carry the point,
Darcy was prosecuted unjustly and
to an extreme and the matter preyed
heavily Upon his mind At the time he
was In possession OF an infection in
the tonstls and the combination ulti-
mately resulted in his death.
Among those at the bedside was his
tiancee who arrived In Memphis on the
morning OF the day that Darcy passed
out with a smile,
Those who knew Darcy respected him
and we're astonished at his treatment.
And those same people are wondering
wen now how two flag dodgers have
an open road, Which only goes to show
how many funny people make up the
