FRISCO BOXING FANS
 LEAN TO DEMPSEY AS
 THEIR ONE FAV0R|TE

SAN FRANCISCO. June 5,--ln no city in the country are Jess Willard. the heavyweight champion boxer, and Challenger Jack Dempsey better known among the followers of the ring than in this city. Both men practically made their start here-that is, their serious ring careers. although both men had fought practically as unknowns before coming here. For this reason an unusual amount Of interest is being taken here in the championship contest which is slated to be staged at Toledo on Independence Day.
 Willard's fight against "Gunboat" Smith, i'll which Willard lost the de- cision, was the first real opportunity followers of the ring here had of esti- mating the worth of Willard. It is re- called that Willard did not make much Of a reputation for himself as a fighter. but his great bulk was the wonder of the day. It frequently was commented on at the time that if Willard ever gained the championship it would be more through his enormous size than for any particular ability he had as fighter
 Willard, engaged in several minor Smith, but he failed to convince the showing against Charley Miller in a four-round bout. Miller. who is a mo- torman had little to recommend him aside from his size and ruggedness, but he succeeded in making Willard prac-

while the Nationals are getting infieId practice and then takes first base. Even the home team first baseman generally retires in the last five min utes so Nick can "cut up.'
 One of Nick's old stunts was to mock the umpire-behind his back. This aroused much merriment in the stands back of first and the umpire's ears always got red because he knew from past experience that Nick was up to some shines.
 And Nick does some fancy fielding. Oue-hand catches behind his back aie his forte. He also makes a great ac- ton picture while reaching for @ wild one and trying to keep his foot on the bag at the same time. And he'll face the third baseman and shoot the ball home.
 All dyed the wool fans remember Nick as the great left-hander of the White Sox when the White Sox were the hitiess wonders. Those Sox pitch CTS had to do some great pitching in those days for the offense never scorec more than two or three runs.
 Nick dropped to the Minneapolis team and for a while won in the As sociation and then he went with Clarke Griffith as coach and clown.
 Clarke likes him and the fans like him. He's earning his money and the baseball public hopes he'll be retained for many more seasons
