kEARNS WANTS WILLARD'S
 RABBIT RUNCH BARRED

Toledo, O.. June 3o.-Barring of the "a bbit punch, one of Champion Jess Willards favorite deliveries. will be demanded by Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey. before he allows the challenger to enter the ring with Will lard in their heavyweight champion ship contest here July 4. Kearns made known his decision tonight
 The punch is a blow delivered to the back of the neck while the men are fighting in clinches with at least one arm free.
 The rules of the Toledo boxing com mission are silent about this punch. They insist upon clean breaks and prohibit the kidney punch while the boxers are clinched. The blow, how ever, is permissible under the Toledo rules if the boxers are not locked in an embrace.
 Dempsey was measured for height this afternoon by William Muldoon of New York. whose figures gave him six feet, two inches. This was half an inch more than the neigh credited to Dempsey the last time he was meas ured six months ago. His trainers claim that Dempsey is still growing.
