Toledo. Ohio, June Soaked

his sparring partner and Jack
Dempsey and his helpers went
through workouts yesterday after
noon while some 1900 eager and
enthusiastic but hot spectators
suffered with them. How some
of these ringsiders, and there we're
many of the fair sex, escaped heat
prostration is more than we can
explain.
The temperature at the Casino
ringside must have been 120 de-
grees. Still. these fans sat and
watched and applauded the efforts
of willard and his partners and
mopped beaded brows.
No Breeze in Big Arena
High elevation of the Bayview

course, all breeze will be shut off.
so if the atmosphere isn't cooled a
bit on the outside by a tempering
breeze it isn't hard to imagine how
it will be at the ringside If this
terrific heat spell continues.
In spite of the heat the cham

dandy. He boxed eight rounds,
three with Jack Hemple, two with
Jack Heinen of Chicago, the latest
addition to the training staff, and
three with Walter Monaghan. Jess

Dempsey stepped couple of
rounds with his ebony sparring

punching. Jamaica had his in

CORN RULED BY
BULLISH TREND
Heavy Buying by Commission
Houses and Record Price for
Hogs Boost Quotes.

Chicago, June 16.-BuIlish senti-
ment continued today to rule the
corn market. Commission houses
were the chief buyers, largely on
country account The fact that
hog prices today had jumped to
the highest figures ever known,
$21.60, was an element of the
strength in corn. Opening quota
lions of corn, which ranged from
kc to 1Ac higher, with July, LA
to 1-7412 and September 1874 to
1855, were followed by material
further gains.
Oats shared in the upturns of
corn. After opening 12c to 1c high
er, including July at 69Ac, the
market continued to ascend.
Provisions gave way under real
fZing sales. At first, however, there
was a temporary bulge in sym
pathy Of grain and hogs.
All deliveries rose to the highest
point yet this season. Offerings
were light. The market closed
strong Sc TO 4Ac net higher, with
July s1.7612 to $177 and Septem-
Der $1O2s to s1.7O9s.

SOX HITTERS
FAIL TO SLAP
PILL ON ROAD
Eddie Collins, Jackson Weaver and
Felsch Below Form, Ac-
counts for Defeats.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 16.-Since
the White Sox left home two weeks
ago in gallant style with a firm
hold on first place they have play
ed baseball apparently under a
great strain.
1t looks as if they forgot to bring
the punch displayed in all their
early season combats. Anyway,
they have fought IL battles on for
eign soil and have been victorious
only four times. Eddie Cicotte,
pitcher supreme. won three of
those four, Claude Williams win
ming the other.
Can't Enjoy Day OF.
Seven defeats have been swal-
lowed.
In Detroit the Sox 'ost three
straight. In New York they lost
two out of four and in Philadelphia
they won the only one played so
far.
With such a record the athletes
weren't in a mood to enjoy their
day of rest here yesterday. Not
one of them took a ride down to
Atlantic City for a pleasure jaunt.
Most of them sat around the hotel
lobby or in their rooms thinking
things over.
A glance over the score book
with the individual records of those
eleven games reveals probably the
main reason why seven of them
went the wrong way. In early sea-
son when the boys were winning
the sIuggers of the bunch were
swatting in form. There hasn't
