JACK DEMPSEY is a wise fighter
His decision TO sign up Harry Wills
the giant negro scrapper, as his spar
ring partner is as shrewd a move as
he could possibly make. It viii afford
him the experience Of exchanging
blows with a big. strong, clever, az
gressive opponent Wills Is one OF
the cIeverest big men IN the fighting
game. He IS sure TO give Dempsey
much help in preparing to wrest the
heavyweight title from Jess Willard
on Independence day.
The only argument that fight
fans are advancing against the
possible victory Of Dempsey in the
bout r. that the present champion
has a big advantage In size and
weight.
These people seem to feel that
Dempsey viii find the task Of bat
thing with a big, strong fighter OF
Wizards caliber a far more difficult
one than any he has tackled to date.
Dempsey himself figures that he is
facing a proposition that calls for a
long siege OF special preparation
The Colorado challenger is the sort
OF scrapper who gives every opponent
serious consideration He realizes
that in meeting Willard he Is taking
on a Job that few other heayweights
would care TO tackle. He knows full
well that the Kansas City fighter is
the strongest and biggest titlehOlder
the boxing game has vet produced
He IS wise enough to now that IN
less he does plenty OF fast work with
some big. clever training partner his
chances OF aunexing the title will be
slight
It was with this idea that he had
manager Jack Kearns engage Harry
Wills. Dempsey, having seen Wills
work. knew that he was the best spar
ring partner he could sign up to con-
dltion him The latter measures up
closer TO the champions type than any
other whose services could be pro-
cured.

THE START OF JOHNNY

Ia EACk'S RING CAREER
Il was on this date in 1880 that
Johnny Ia Vack defeated Willie Nc
Nally in l9 rounds at Saginaw. 1Iich-
La Vack, a little French Canadian.
and a native Of Montreal, started his
ring career with that battle. This
was only about a year after George
Lavigne, who was also OF French
Canadian descent, fought his first
battle with George Siddons in Sagi-
nav, so that that Michigan city wit
messed the ring debut OF two OF the
best boxers of their time
La Vack was never recognized as
featherweight champion, although he
beat most Of the best men OF his time.
and was never knocked out. Tommy
Dixon and Oscar Gardner were the
only boys who ever bested the French
man, and then II was by such a mar
row margin that many thought La
Nack was entitled to a draw. Johnny
was about as clever as they make
EN-. but he lacked a punch Conse-
quently, in his bouts with top-notch-
ers. he usually got a draw. Among
those whom he fought drawn contests
were Solly Smith. George Siddous.
Australian Billy Murphy. Tommy
Dixon. Joe Bernstein and Jack Nc
CleIlaud. Most Of Johnny's bouts
were staged in New York and Ohio
cities, and he was a great favorite
with the fans in Cleveland. Toledo

longest bouts were q p round affair
