 Not at all" said the Commodore quickly. "Since the Sullivan-Kilrain fight there hasen't been another bare knuckle fight pulled off. Some people are used to thinking back a million years, when boxing was only blood set to seconds, murder to minutes, and death to the finish Why there hasn't been enough blood draw>s in the fights of the last few years, to make trans fusioni It's business now: an art; science; and the littlest man in the world can lick the biggest into a vail Tor help in ten seconds, or vice versa, If he only knows how, It's not only reach and punch, but brains and skill; that's what makes it such a pretty ex- hibition."

 Willard has every thing in his favor as I see it." said the Commodore. He's already champion and that puts him in good standing; he's a larger man than Dempsey, and can stand more punishment; he's hard hitter, he has a longer reach, and can hold Dempsey off"

 "A man at Willards age" said Com modore Orcutt, fought to be going down; he has taken good care of him self; he is not dissipated; he's been in good condition ever since he whip ped Johnson; he's led clean life. and I don't believe a word of all this news paper talk about him being out of condition; it's merely junk; propa- >ganda; it stands to reason that his packers wouldn't permit any neglect in training.''

Of course Dempsey has won lot of big fights, winning all ways in the second or third rounds consequently nobody can get line on his endurance. His youth won't count; twenty three is pretty young to be fighting. The odds are running ten to seven in favor of Willard on the eve of the fight and there you are!'
