impossible.
When the crash came the South

ished it. The crash was so severe that
all the bodies were showed into a pile
and mutilated.

How about Dompscy's condition? Ht

been overturned a trife by his actions

been twenty seconds under way he lad

longer carried the cd sleep producing
power. Time and again he set himself
and let Willard have everything he
could shoot with right OF left to the
Jaw Yet, with willard as helpless as
he was. none OF hese had anything
like the power of his first left hook.
Il the first few punches that had
terrific steam had not paralyzed the ex-
champior's motive power in the frst
round, Willard might have had q
ch nee. For Dempsey was tirirg rapid
ly from his own blows. losing his snap
and crushing c:fec and all this within
less than three rounds.
In fact he was far from being the
same Dempsey in the middle Of the sec.

less as a big punching bag, and yet
was unable 10 knock him of his feet.

gutter. Their point is that q game
champion would have come forward In
the fourth round to take the knock
out, as all other champions have.
did you ever hear of any other
champion who refused to get up and
take it?" they ask.
Ever hear of another champion who
had the towel tossed into the ring,
raising the white flag Of surrender
Why didn't he stand up like a man
and take his medicine7 II he had had
any fighting instinct in him, such az
Nelson and others had, he would have
groped his way forward until he was

But there were many thousands on
the other side who marvelled that VIII
lard soaked up as much punishment as
he did. The wonder TO them is that
any man could take that amount Of
hammering and remain conscious or

Dempsey Planning
To Leave Ring for
Six-MOnth Period

TOLEDO, July 5.-Winning the
worlds championship had no effect on
Jack Dempsey to-day. He acted as if
he knew it was coming to him and he
exhibited not the slightest surprise.
He was out of bed at 6 o'clock, mo-
tored to his training camp for visit
with friends OF the Maumee Bay
Shore district and then returned to
his hotel quarters in Toledo.
Dempsey expects to remain here
until he leaves to accept some theatri-
cal work which probably will occupy
his attention for the next six months.
One offer of $4,000 a week for twelve
weeks was made him.
az am going to try and be a popular
champion" Jack said. 81 believe the
public wants a champion who will de-
fend his title frequently, and | intend
to be that kind of champion. be-
lieve, however, that | am entitled TO
take a rest and make some money out
of the title doing theatrical work.
want to lay off boxing for six or
eight months to do this. But l VIII
fight Just as soon as a man consid-
cred a contender is found"
Willard has definitely retired from
the ring. He will devote his entire at
tention 70 his oil interests. The de-
feated champion said to-day that ru.
mors that he was severely injured and
that he was taken to hospital were
gross exaggcrations. The only injury
he suffered was deep cut over the
eye and a badly cut mouth. He did not
lose any teeth. nor was his jaw fract-
ured, as reported.
