been calloused enough to send him
again to the slaughter
Even after the disastrous ending of
the first round Willard flashed a mo-
mentary comeback in the second,
which for few seconds led to the
belief among his supporters that he
would weather the storm and carry
the battle along on even terms for
few sessions at least. 1t was the
last flicker of spirit which was
Longer than the flesh. Another
sweeping right arm smash that few
over Wizards shoulder and landed
on his swollen, bleeding jaw, took the
last ounce of resistance out of the
giant and made his downfall a mat
ter of but minutes.
An analysis of the newly crowned
champion shows nothing new in his
fighting methods. He tore into his op-
ronents at top speed as always has
been his fighting custom and simply
battered his way to the pinnacle of
pugiism by the speed of his blows
and the overwhelming power that
travelled from the hugh shoulder
muscles down through the brawny
arms and into the clinched fists armor
ed with five ounce gloves. He made
little or no attempt at defensive work
and not more than five or six times

tors lost heavily. They resJid their
tickets at anything from five to fif-
teen dollars under gate prices. No
betting was reported at the ringside,
nor was there much elsewhere as far
as could be ascertained.
The heat Of the day wa terrific, in
tensified as it was by the vast acre
age of green lumber Dun H. { the pre-
liminary bouts, which las 4 from II
o'clock until $50 a the, .ometer ex-
posed, as were the spectators and
fighters, jumped to 1870 degrees which
was the limit of wha' the instrument
could record. 1t showed 10 degrees

A Scramble to Dempsey.
When Dempsey was proclaimed win
ner the crowd surgcd into the mat in
wild scramble to shake the hand of
the new champion. At times some of
them toppled over onto the telegraph
ers and reporters just below who were
struggling in the mad disorder to re-
port what happened. Police eventu-
ally dispersed them by hustling Demp
sey away. Willard was taken to an
automobile and disappeared from view
of the crowd which then itself began
the task of covering the four miles
from the arena to the CITY as hest
they could, by street car, automobile
or on foot.
While the passing of the heavy
weight champion was one Of the most
dramatic events of modern ring his
tory it was lacking entirely in high
class boxing. With the exception of
the first three snappy left jabs with
which Willard opened the contest, the
combat was simply series of terrific
drives and smashcs virtually all of
which were delivered by Dempsey.
The first of these crashing swings
to land on Wizards jaw and body ap-
peared to completely daze and take
away from the titleholder all power to
either protect himself or fight back as
had been expected by his admirers.
Whether he could have stod up bet
ter under the battering Of Dempsey
a few years ago will always be a
mooted question in the years to come
when today's battle is discussed. It
cannot be denied however that Willard
was in good physical condition and
displayed gameness up to the moment
that his seconds persuaded him to re-
linqush the championship to Demp-
sey.
Willard Much Punished.
This was demonstrated by the fact
that the Kansas giant received in
nine minutes Of fighting far more
punishment than did Jeffrics at the
hands Of Jack Johnson in their fifteen
round bout at Reno and yet was able
to respond to the bell had his seconds

CaSe OF Cne count.
The crowd thought the fight was
over in the round. Willard was down
for the seventh time and the count
was apparently about to end when the
gong sounded. 1t was modest gong,
which could not make itself heart be-
fore so many people, and even Demp-
sey did not get it. He crawled
through the ropes and was headed out
on the shoulders of screaming fans
when the truth was broken to him
and he was hauled back.

Such fighting as the Kansas ranch
man produced was placed on ebhib-
tion at the onset. He had stood in his
corner picture Of confidence. His
smile seemed that of one who had a
brief and not unpleasant task before
him. He certainly was all set to go,

the ones which probably settled Will

states would have representation in

SOLDIERS APPROVE DEMOCRATIC
70 MEASURES.

! Publications devoted to the inter-
ests OF men who fought in the Army
and the Navy during the late war
ARE notifying the Republican Congress
about to convene in regular session
that there can no longer be any doubt
as to what these former soldiers and
sailors expect in the way Of compen.
satory legislation. The recent con-
vention Of the American Legion
which represents a large percentage
of these men, made their wishes quite
plain.
The Legion, it may be said, APPROX
ed program that had been anticipa-
ted by Secretary Of the Interior Lane
and Representative Scott Ferris,
chairman of the Democratic Congress-
eional Committee. Each of these-one
an important member Of the Presi-
dents Cabinent and the other an able
Ilegislator-had studied the mems needs
and offered the fruits Of their in
yestigations in the form of bills
The measures they proposed would
have financed the purchase Of homes
for soldiers and sailors either in the
country or in the city as the men
preferred.
These bills lay for months in pig
eonholes during the special session OF
Congress. The Republican pretext
for their inertia was that they wish
ed to hear from the American Legion.
That word has come and it il an
approval of Democratic proposal which
out of pure craftsmanship: were de-
.Iied an opportunity to pass. Even il
the bills are enacted in the regular
session, six or eight months time
will have been lost. That is the pen
atty the fighters will have to bear be-
cause of political chicanery.

LODGES FIGHT AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT AND NOT THE
TREATY.

(From the Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
His friends and others who are
more or less radical in their enmity
TO the peace treaty because it con-
tains the covenant OF the League OF
Nations, declare that it is unjust to
accuse Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
OF partisanship in his fight against
ratification.
So far we have seen no justifica-
ton by any enemies Of the treaty,
partisan or purely American, unin-
fiuenced by politics, of the assertion
OF Senator Lodge and quoted in his
personal organ. Boston newspaper,
that
my fight is not against the treaty
Of peace; 1t is against Woodrow Will
SON."
It was many days ago that the
Boston newspaper published this
statement. It has not be refuted;
it has not been corrected; it has not
been denied Therefore one must
assume that 1t is. without doubt, the
truth. And in the opinion Of those
who have followed Senator Lodge
through this fight, this has been his
attitude from first to last. The only
surprise in this instance is caused
by the publication Of the fact in the
case.
Senator Lodge will fight the treaty
to the last ditch. If he is beaten it
will not be because he gives up the
ghost. It will be because partisan
ship at last is DEBATED in its fight
TO instill despicable politics into tie
greatest international agreement and
arrangement ever proposed. Lodges
fight against the president has been
camoufaged. but now he has with
drawn the veil 1t is time for his
friends to defend him.

There are evidences, then. that the
Senators who strangled the treaty and
prevented formal conclusion OF peace
have least OF all found favor with the
! politicians OF their own party. 1t is
not too much to believe that, when the
I signs Of popular disapproval begin to
multiply. these Senators may be
blamed by the very leaders-including
Will H. Hays-who inspired and en-
Ecouraged them to make ratification OF
the treaty game OF politics instead
of momentous duty In behalf of their
country and the, entire world.
+ 1t is already manifest that Senator
Lodges proposal to make the treaty
an issue in the presidential campaign
has caused trepidation among the
"practicals" SO plain and specific a

They prefer. to stake their hopes on
generalities and platitudes. They
know in advance that the voters could
