about rounds seven and eight as has ! been the case for several days.
 More heavyweight championships i holders have been defeated while car rying the popular money than is the reverse case. There are so many un- usual angles to Fridays contest that this is not considered. however, an axiom here tonight. Were Willard and Dempsey matched over a long dis tance ranging from D to 45 rounds, it is likely the younger of the two would be an outstanding favorite in the bet ting.
 Wilard's Size Is Barrier
 Willard's great size, bulk and strength form an impressive mental barrier that even the Dempsey sup porters hesitate to hurdle financially when it is realized that he is required to box 36 minutes and hold his own to gain at least draw decision. The champion is generally conceded to be the better boxer of the two, but Demp- sey has achieved a remarkable ring record with his incessant rushing, free hitting type of offense. His followers base their predictions of his victory on his ability to rush and batter ms way through Willard's guard and reach a vulnerable spot with one or more Of the crushing blows which have dis posed of so many previous opponents.
 Dempsey is considered more az gressve type of boxer than Willard, but the champion has always been thought to have a store of reserve strength upon which to draw should the occasion demand While hls knockout record is not nearly as i'm pressive as that of the challenger, the champion has at times shown flashes of tremendous speed and hitting power fully in keeping with his huge bulk. Many close observers hold the opinion that the Fourth of July bout will call this into use if he is to triumph over his youthful and hard hitting rival.
 To Fight at Close Quarters
 While neither boxer has made any public statement regarding his plan of ring campaign, reports from the train ing quarters indicate that there will be little time wasted in long range 1 sparring, during the early rounds of 1 the contest at least. Dempsey is noted i for his eagerness to get to close quar- 1 ters with an opponent and standing toe to toe, to demonstrate that he is the better man in a two listed combat.
 
 adopted by Willard, but it is said by close friends of the title holder that he has been greatly displeased by reports of alleged indifferent training and in ability to meet Dempsey at his own 1 game, despite his physical advantages,
 In discussing this angle of the match | the champions closest friends indicate their belief that he will startle the boxing world by display of aggres- siveness and hard, fast hitting hereto fore foreign to his ring campaigns Willard evidently expects some close action for he has requested that no at i tention be paid to any unintentional ! foul committed by his opponent.

are on their feet at the close of the twelfth round.
 In case of a knockout. the action of the referee in counting out the fallen boxer will close the bout. If the judges disagree after twelve rounds of boxing the referee will make the deciding vote. He will also be required to secure con iirmation of at least one judge before disqualfying a principal for fouling or other violation of the rules.
 Although Dempsey will wear espec- ialy constructed five-ounce gloves. Willard's will weigh nearly six ounces, due to the size of his hands. There will be no more padding in his gloves, however, than in those of the chal- lenger. The contest will be fought in a 24-foot square ring, and each boxer will ke allowed five seconds in his corner. Soft bandages and a reasonable amount of tape will be allowed in bandaging the hands of the contestants, and they will wear the customary one piece boxing trunks.
 No Consultations
 More than the usual number of off cials will be employed in passing upon
 the merits of the boxers, for, in addi- ton to the referee. there will be two ! judges similar to the system in vogue i in England. Ollie Pecord of Toledo l will. act as referee, assisted by Tex Rickard and Major Anthony J. Drexe1

Greatest Sport Crowd in History Expected to Aattend Event--Wilard Gets $1OO,OOO Win, Lose Draw Famous Blows Barred-Three Officials To Act and . Determine Winner Unless Knockout Is Scored

TOLEDO, ono, July S.-With the worlds heavyweight pugilistic cham oionship at stake, Champion Jess Will ard and Challenger Jack Dempsey will box 12 rounds at Bay View Park, ,n the banks of the Maumee river, here tomorrow in what is expected to be the greatest event of its kind ever staged.
 Eclipsing all previous records in this direction. Promoter Rickard has guar anteed $I0O, 1000 to Willard, win, lose or draw, and $27.50O to Dempsey under the same conditions while the profits from the moving pictures will be divided into thirds. An arena to seat S0,000 spectators has been erected at a cost of $150,000, and if the gate receip-s are ID to expectations, more than S1.000. 0.03o ,-ill pass through the hands of the pro .Ioter. Seven per cent will go to the iucal authorities 10 per cent to the gov unment in the form of a war tax. while st ores of other expense details will cut Neavily into the huge sum.
 Famous Blows Barred
 The giant boxers agreed to box under Marquis of Queensbury rules, with the sidney punch and the side- hand chop blow, or rabbit punch, barred. There Will be one minute rest periods be- ween rounds and referee and two judges to pass upon the pugiistic mer- it's of the contenders in case both men

Jack Skelly of Mount Vernon, New York. will be alternate referee, and W. W. Warren Barbour of New York will be official timekeeper. Each boxer will also have a timekeeper
 In Pink of Condition
 Both principals appear to be trained to perfect condition, and each expresses perfect satisfaction with his physical and mental condition
 Willard will probably enter the ring weighing about 245 pounds, while Dempsey is expected to be near the 200 mark. In almost every physical meas urement the champion will have the advantage of the challenger, being the largest man who ever held the title Notwithstanding these physical handi- caps, Dempsey has the popular follow ing, and he is selected to win by many shrewd ring followers, partly due to his youth, for he is 24 years old to Will lard's 97, and his impressive rushing fighting style of boxing.
 Betting Is Light
 Wagering on the bout indicated the uncertainty that prevails regarding the outcome. Even money is quoted in some commission rooms, while just across the street Willard adherents are giving ten to nine. In no case are the sums laid large in comparison to bets made on past heavyweight matches. Play in the pari-mutual de- partment showed opinion about evenly divided on the result, should the affair go the full twelve rounds. Betting or | the probability of a knockout centers
