HOW DEMPSEY WON OUT
Willard Knocked Down Seven
Times in First Round and
Quits at End of Third.

TOLEDO. Ohio. July SACK Demp-
sey, the challenger. was the first to
enter the ring, and the clamoring host
greeted him with wild acclaim. 1t
| was just three minutes to o'clock.
Luck was with him on the toss of
coin for the choice of corners, and.
of course, he choose the one with the
sun at his back.
cord discussed the rules with them.
and they shook hands and returned to
their corners.
Round One.
Willard landed the first blow, as the
men squared off in the opening round; ;
it was a light left to the head, and
did not even jar the challenger He
followed with a right to the same
place. but grunted as Dempsey
hooked a vicious left to the stomach.
Dempsey then missed left and
right to the head. and in return Will
lard snapped a left to the face. Then
came Il dramatic moment. Every man
in the huge crowd seemed to be on
ms feet yelling, as Dempsey tented
ana crashed over right to the jaw
that sent Willard topping to the
floor He took the count of six. and
as he crawled to his feet, Dempsey
measured the distance and again sent
him sprawling to the canvas with
another crushing right. Five times
more this was repeated, with the
crowd in a mad frenzy
Round Two.
AS the men faced each other for the
second round. Dempsey rushed in like
a will nd oh
let's to the champions face and jaw
Willard acted as if in daze and. with
his right eye partly closed. made
feeble defense. Dempsey circled about
him and carefully measured him with
rights and lefts to the jaw. while
every once in while he picked out
the bad eye for one of his accurate
blows.
Willard landed a mild uppercut or
two, but was so much at the mercy
of his opponent that he was a beaten
man. AS the round ended he stag
gered to his corner.
Round Three.
Dempsey began where he left Off in
the second round. He hit the champion
almost at will with either left hand or
right. and occasionally varied the
monotony by crashing a punch to the
Douy. w mara scarcely maze return,
and backing against the ropes tried
to shield his head and body with his
long arms from the rain of blows
which the challenger poured in with
out let or hindrance. Wizards right
eye was entirely closed, while blood
was streaming from his mouth and
nose.
Finally Willard called on his fast
ebbing strength and landed a sting
ing uppercut to Dempsey's jaw. But
the challenger only smiled and re-
turned the blow with such good
measure that Willard was Keeling and
staggering as the bell rang, ending
the round. He never came back for
the fourth round.

Gated the performance of the Yankees.
Peck's bleacher clout in the morn
ing game was his sixth of the year.
Baker ran his string up to five. and
Bodie crashed in with his fourth home
run of the season.
Nick Altrock's burlesque of the big
fight made the fans forget about the
heat in the afternoon. The comedian
even made them forget about base
ball at times. A rare entertainer, this
Altrock.
Pratt turned in a spectacular play
on Grover in the seventh inning of
the morning game, making a bare
hand stop and then a throw while
off balance, which got Grover at first
base.
Eddie Foster was not feeling we'll in
the morning, so Joe Leonard covered
third base. In the afternoon there
was not the slightest symptom of ILL
ness shown near third base. Foster
played a remarkable fielding game.
The Griffmen put up, a loud wall in
the ninth inning of the second game
when Bill Dineen called Fewster safe
at first. Fewster hit a high bounder
in front of the plate and showed a
great burst of speed in getting to first
base. If he had not made the bag the
afternoon game would have gone to
the Nationals, to 4.
The Yankees will continue battling
the Griffmen for the next three days.
A double header with Washington is
on for this afternoon and a single
game tomorrow. Higgins has not yet
decided whether he will play a dou-
ble-header or single game next Mon
day. If it stays this hot Miller will
likely take mercy on the team and
shove the other pcstponement along
until some other day in the season.

THEY'LL REGRET LETTING
BARNES GO BEFORE LONG

During recent tanning bee Jim
Gaffney, the former owner of the Bos-
ton Braves, told how he acquired the
services of Jesse Barnes, the young
pitcher who now is the property of
the New York Giants. Boston acquir-
ed title to Barnes five minutes after
Gaffney engaged Mike Kahoe, the vet
eran catcher, as scout for the Braves.
One time l asked George Stallings
who he considered the best scout in
baseball" said Gaffney, beginning the
story. Without a moment of hesita-
ton he said, Mike Kahoe, now with
the Washington club A few months
later l learned that Clark Griffith,
who had two scouts at the time, de-
cided to part with Kahoe
Il sent for him Immediately, and
asked him to see me in New York.
We promptly came to terms, and | Of
fered him a contract. He said q he
never signed contracts, but that he
considered my word as good as a
contract, and if it wasn't, the con-
tract would be no good anyway
Then he reached into his inside
pocket and pulled out little book. 1
thought he you'd jot down the terms
we had agreed upon. but he nearly
knocked me over when he said:
Wire Immediately to the Daven-
port club and ask them what they
will take for Jesse Barnes. | wanted
Griffith to take him, but he is loaded
up with good pitchers
Il followed his advice and got
Davtnport's price. 1t was pretty stiff,
but Mike said:
Buy him; he's cheap at the price.
Jess is light now, but when he fills
out he will be one of the best right
handed pitchers in baseball
DO you know that was the only
time that Mike recommended a play
er to me- but he steered me off a
lot of lemons that other people tried
to wish on to me. He was one scout
who did not believe in bringing in
talent just to show that he was work
ng.
Il believe the Boston club will rue
the day it ever let Barnes go. He
was a little wild up in Boston. but
he still is the kid and ought 10 be a
wonder with McGraw. He certainly
was burning things up when he went
into the army last spring

The first week in June has been Sc

there will doubtless be a demand for
