DEMPSEY'S STARRING PARTNER QUITS CAMP;
 GOING IS TOO ROUGH

TOLEDO, May 29.-Selection of q former club house on the shore of Maumee bay, less than a mile from Jack Dempsey's training quarters. was made today as the training camp for Jess Willard, who is due here Satur. day.
 Dempsey Is using his sparring part ners so roughly that Manager Jack Kearns is having difficulty in retaia- ing them. One-round Davis, a 200 pounder from Buffalo, NY, quit the challenger's camp today after receiv- ing another walloping. He was nearly knocked out for the second time in two days. Dempsey confined his ring work to seven rounds today, going four with Sergt. Bill Tate, two with Terry Keller and one with Davis.
 Willard's club house Is an ideal To- cation. but 1t lacks living quarters, SO Willard and his retinue will have to select a cottage on the Bayshore in which to eat and sleep. It was 'sug- gested to Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest, that with the camps so close together, the heavyweight rivals

might meet on the road some morning and start trouble. Rickard laughed at the idea and said he hoped they would meet.
 "The old days of pugilism have passed" Rickard said. "This is box ing contest for supremacy of the heavyweight class, and purely a busi- ness proposition, the same as a base ball game or ether amusement. Will lard and Dempsey will be paid per- formers. They are not mad" at each
