HIGH PRAISE FOR WILLARD
FROM CHIEF SPARRING MATE

Dempsey also will get shock when
he learns how difficult Willard will be
to hit solidly. Jess will be a greatly
changed man in the ring. He has not
attempted to punish his sparring part
rers because he believes it is not nee
essary to unduly misuse them. But
when he gets into the ring next Friday
it will be different Willard than the
man the public has been watching in
His training bouts.
at is my honest opinion that Demp-
sey will wear himself out with his dash
ing attack within three rounds. Then
he will be ready for whatever Willard
wants to hand him. Dempsey will not
be able to avoid Wizards right-hand
upper cut. and if Jess connects solidly
a knockout surely will result"
Toledo is rapidly becoming the sport
ing center Of the Country. Every train
is bringing sporting celebrities in ever
increasing numbers The list today in
cludes Benny Leonard. the lightweight
champion: Frank Moran, who once
fought Willard for the title; Jack Nc

THE BIG FOUR IN GOLF
Barnes, Hutchinson, Brady and
Hagen U. S. Rivals of Famous
British Quartet.

While there is probably some differ
ence of opinion as to who are the out
standing golfers in this country, it is
being contended by some Of the Leading
experts that America has f1naily reahzed
an ambition to develop among its pro-
fessionals a big four which can be COM
pared with that long reigning quartet OF
British stars. Harry Vardon, Ted Ray,
James Braid and j. H. Taylor inc
are awarded by this consensus OF
expert opinion to J. NJ. Barnes: Jock
Hutchinson, NJ. J. Brady and waiter =.
Hagen.
professional ranks in this country that
there will probably be some disapproval
from certain quarters of this selection,
but the four golfers have been selected
on their records in tournament pay
over a stretch Of several years. ana IN
the final analyses of the experts they
are entitled to rank as accorded them
How they will compare with the British
players is a question more difficult to
|, determine. However. there may De an
answer to it within another year. since
it is quite probable that team OF
named professionals, will make trip
to England in 1920 and meet the best
players on the other side:
OF the quartet selected both Hagen
and Hutchinson won the open title,
though the latter did SO in more or
less Oatriotic tournament at time when
many of the leading amateurs were ap-
sent.
But, by and large, Messrs. Hutchin-
son. Brady, Hagen and Barnes nave
been the big winners in the professional
ranks the last three or four years. ana
in the series of tournaments i'll the
south for professionals this past sea-
son. concluding with the united north
and south open championship at Plne-
hurst. they have doomed up head ana
shoulders over the others.
Possibly Tom Mcnamara would nave
figured more prominently had he taken
part in the campaign OF several weeks
especially in view of his thirty-three Tor
the first nine holes Of the final round at
Pinehurst but that is only SurmlSe.
Brady, professional at the Oakley
Country Club. Watertown. Mass, in
certain respects was leader OF the pls
four He won at Augusta and ST. Au.
gustine. was second at Pinehurst. TIED
for second at Asheville. S. c.. tied for
third at Deland with Hutchinson. and
was third at Doca Grande.
Barnes carried off the plum in q
way. when he won the united north
and SOUTH wherein he was favored a
little by fortune, perhaps. in that his
long game was hayward for three
rounds. Nevertheless, he showed his
fighting qualities by making up for
this shortening by his accurate ap-
proaches and puts. and it must be
said in his favor that when 1t came to
the critical final round his tee shots
began to find the middle of the course
with much greater frequency than In
the earlier stages Of the title seeking.
Barnes also won at Deland, was sec
ond at Tampa and fifth at Asheville.
He figured well down the list in a
couple of the other tournaments. His
driving was not up to his standard as
q rule throughout his southern play.

TOLEDO. Ohio, June 2S.-Victory
for Jess Willard with a knockout
within five rounds in his heavyweight
championship contest with Jack
Dempsey here July was the predic-
ton today of Walter Monahan. chief
sparring partner for the champion.
Monahan based his prediction on his
close knowledge of Wizards physi-
cal condition gained through several
years of work with him. 1t was
Monahan who conditioned Willard for
his match with Jack Johnson at Ha-
vana.
Behind that covering of flesh on
Wizards midsection. which has
caused boxing experts to proclaim
that the champion is not in condi-
ton, is wall of muscle, Monahan
said today, He asserted that the
muscles protecting Wizards stomach
are like rods of iron, and that Demp-
sey will not be able to hurt him with
stomach punches.
Dempsey will be the most surprised
man in the world when he lets fly at
Wizards stomach with all the power
of his punches and finds that his
blows will do no damage" Monahan
said.

Rex Athletic Club and Clarendon

back in the Rex lineup, and should

Belts has been chief umpire in the
Masonic game since the game was
originated. except one season when
he managed one of the teams.
Frye and Buscher. former profess
sional pitchers. are to toe the slab for
the two teams. and both should pitch
fine ball. Everybody familiar with
their capabilities thinks that the
game should develop into real
pitchers battle. Some of the best
amateur players in the District are
members of the teams and the pitch
ers should get pretty fair support.
Arrangements have been completed
by those handling the game. Follow
ing the arrival at the park there will
be the usual taking of pictures and
parade around the field, and stunts
by the Shrine and Grotto.

Systematic Despoliation.

During the war" he said. the
Turks made systematic attempts to
destroy the Armenian people. They
forced their way through Armenia
with the intention of joining forces
with the TartarS to the north. mas
sacring and committing Widespread
depredationS as they marched. on
their way back they swept Armenia
clean. for the Arme mans at the time
of the armistice had only 1000 sol
riers in the field. The Turks wantOnly
destroyed everything in their path.
The result is that the Armenian re-
public has no cattle. seed grain, flour
nothing at all to eat.
