AUTO men FACE
PROBLEM TO Get
Their CARS OUT
Bad Roads Hold Back Many
Who Expected to Drive
Their New Autos
& Home.

The Fourteenth annual Omaha
automobile show is over and all
arc sounding the praise Of the
management for the manner m
which it was conducted. The Audi
forum Sunday presented a much
different appearance from what il
had during the week as the diaper
statesmen had gwen way to the
army Of working men who were
busy removing the cars to the sales
rooms and turning them over to the
buyers.
Last year after the auto show
there was a regular procession OF
automobiles to Nebraska and west
ern Iowa but this year ii was di-
ferent. The heavy rains Of Friday
and Saturday put the roads in such
condition that the drive-a-ways had
to be postponed until later and it
was a problem for state dealers to
get their cars home.
The show was a record breaker
in both attendance and the number
of cars sold. Auto men look on
this record as a good omen OF the
return of business to normal Auto
mobile trade seems to be about the
first of the big industries to return
to a prewar basis and the demand
for cars is unprecedented.
The scene has now changed to
the salesrooms Of the various deal
ers and some have prepared to con-
tinue the show at their places Of
business where the show cars were
taken Yesterday.

most deadly use OF the uppercut il
Willard elects to try it He won't
have to raise up on his toes to de-
liver it, standing on his feet flatly
and getting all the push and power
from his stout legs. Landing the
uppercut, Jess can saunter back to
his corner and let the referee finish
the job. There is no man living
that can Withstand an uppercut from
Willard if he has it down as pat as
his friends claim he has. With all
that bulk and power behind it, such
a blow, delivered with ali his
strength could literally lift a man
clear OF the ropes and a rod away

the advantage thus gained. He said
afterward that he only tried it light

he meets Dempsey? 1t is doubtful,
Dempsey and his manager have
angered Jess and then again that
moEey-making crown goes with the
victory.
The champion will want revenge
for all the jabs and raps the news

By KID GRAVES.

The boxing bugs" in America are
bordering over the announcement
that Jack Dempsey is a two-handed
fighter, that he can knock a man out
as easily with one hand as the other
and that either fist may be used to
bring him the heavyweight cham
pionship via the knockout route on
July 4. Jacks boring in tactics, TAX
ing one to land one, swinging both
fists to body or head with exception
al force is the best argument in sup
port of this contention.
If Dempsey is actually two
listed" scrapper, placing,po depend
ance on any one particular blow, he
is the only pugilist of note that ever
attained a championship or the posi-
ton of immediate contender without
having a favorite blow. Every boxer,
whether a walloper or fancy step
per has had some particular punch
that he used either as point gamer
or a "hnisher" in all his battles. The
greatest scrappers in every division
placed every faith on the "clout' he
dubbed his favorite. Some OF them
used the same blow, others devised
one of their own, but it is fact that
each had one that he relied on more
than any other.
Many Rely on Left Jab.
The left jab was and is the favor
lite for host of the old and present
day boxers. Jim Corbitt, Gus Rubin,
Kid Mccoy, Freddie WEIGH, Johnny
Dundee, Johnny Kilbane, Ted Lewis,
Bombardier Wells, Packey McFar-
lard, Matt Wells and Johnny Coulon
and any number of others placed
their faith on the left jab to win for
them. Willie Richie, Ad Wolgast,
Jim Jeffries, Tom Sharkey, Richie
Mitchell, Kid A1berts, Soldier Kerns
and Gunboat Smith felt that right
cross was their best blow. Bob Fitz-
simmons, Tommy Ryan, Kid Viii
liams, Leach Gross and Battling Le-
whisky fancied a left hook. Mike
Gibbons comes as near to having no
favorite punch as any scrapper ever
known and even he appears to use
a left hook little more often than
any other blow. Mike often varies
it with a snappy left jab, but as a
matter Of fact the blows travel so
fast that no one has ever been able
to say just what blow Mike uses
most.
Willard Has Uppercut.
Champion Jess Willard has a right
uppercut that is his best blow, but
strange as it may seem, he doesn't
use it nearly as often as he has open
ings for it. Jess has always declared
that he, never hit as hard as he could
for fear of killing or permanently
injuring someone. This may be
the reason that he has not brought
his right uppercut into play any
oftener than he has. With Wizards
height and bulk behind it, the upper
cut is surely a wonderfully danger
GUS blow. Jess uses it in training,
when he has young pillows on his
hands, but even then, his sparring
partners complain that he nearly
lifts their heads off with II when he
lands and he usually lands it when
he tries it. They claim that Jess
has a particular mastery over the
blow.
Now the question arises, can
Dempsey, who has no favorite
punch, overcome the giant Willard
with his perfect mastery of the roof
raising uppercuts Together with
the advantages Willard has OF
