Willard Slow, But Strong.


Willard has two weeks work ahead
apt to need each hour. His wind is
not yet what it should be. His body
heaves, and the triangle under his
breast bone throbs and palpitates
after a few moments of exertion- He
is slow even against his four sparring
partners. and not one of the four can
qualify as speedy man. Evidently
it is anticipated that Mr.. Dempsey will
tote the combat to Mr.. Willard. and so
the four partners hammer away at
the champion to practice him on de-
Tense. They usually manage to reach
him. When it seems fair to him to hit
them back he marches on in open or
der. They beat at him about as eff
fectually as woman shoplifter
scratches at policeman. His blows
seem not to be very skillfully deliver
ed. nor do they come with any par
ticular snap Yet the pachyderms he
puts his hands on sit down with jar
ring thumps. 1t is much as though q
sack of flour had fallen on them
| slowly-from a housetop.
He is strong. too. Presumably the
next two weeks will give him the
speed he needs. but just now he could
qualify as a safemover. Admitting
I that this Big Three are not as polish
ed performers with the gloves as
Johnny Kilbane or Benny Leonard.
they are still magnificent attractions
| for gravity. Some men could not
move them from place without an
automobile jack. Willard pushes them
around as though they were on
trucks. He is no fatter than he should
| be at this time. He has no paunch.
and If the flesh on his breast and
| back does shimmy slightly when he
moves, that excess bacon can be fried
out before the great day comes. They
bang him with the big gloves right
on the monday beef-and. and with no
perceptible effect. Sometimes he
picks up Monahan or Heinen under
the arms and losses them away They
ram into him in clinches like runaway
| freight cars. and he does not even
| Shiver.
Dempsey knows all these things.
He goes on training for speed and
the lethal wallop. He says 1t is not
to be a weight-lifting contest on the
4th of July.

pounds. he still looks like a little
boy by the champions side. Willard
works out with four men-Joe Chip.
a middleweight, who spatters inef-
fectual blows over Wizards broad
side. When the pair are in action
Chip looks like tug trying to nose
battleship into dock. OF the re-
naming three Hemple may weigh A
little less than 200 pounds. Monahan
goes in at a little more and Heinen's
fat must send the pointer to eco at
least Monahan and Hempel jump
into the air like members of a flying
ballet when they try to get past Will
lard's long arms and lam him on his
respectable chin. When Heinen is
smitten by a similar ambition he
snuggles into clinch and then fails

Each Of the three is dwarfed by Will

STRIKERS SHUT OFF THE SUPPLY
 OF FRESH FISH
Take Steps to Prevent Ship ments From Nova Scotia
 to Boston.

Boston, July 16-Steps to prevent the shipping of fresh fish from Nova Scotia to Boston were taken by the Fishermens Union yesterday, when a letter was sent to the headquarters of the Nova Scotia union at Clark's Harbor. asking that news of the strike here be spread broadcast throughout the province.
 The downeaSt men are also asked to catch only sufficient fish for their own use so that there will be none available for shipment to Boston or Gloucester.
 The Italian Fishermen's Protective Association yesterday issued notice to its members to be prepared to go on strike tomorrow morning and 1t is certain that the response will be un- animous on the part of the men. The possibility that fresh fish might be shipped to Boston from New York has been met by the Fishermen's Un- ion, which has notified its New York branch to prevent this scheme from being carried out. This will be done by seeking the cooperation of the union teamsters which will be re- quested not to handle any fish that may be directed toward Boston.
 The schooners Desire and Marion Mcclure arrived at Boston yesterday morning with catchs of swordfish, but as they were at sea when the strike was declared they were not dis charged at the fish pier. The former hauled over to T wharf and the Me Cure went to the Eastern Packet pier, but neither had any better luck and a. few hours after their arrival both proceeded to Portland with their fish.

 Mir. Wheeler told the committee that prohibition advocates were not asking that possession of liquors bought before July for personal use be prohibited. He added, however, that they were suggesting amend ments to the pending legislation to limit the amount of liquors which may be stored in private residences, so as to prevent homes from becoming speak-easies."
 Another amendment advocated by prohibition leaders, Mir. Wheeler said, Is a provision for seizure of liquors in homes where 1t is sold illicitly.
 .'Bootleggers will maintain their homes as headquarters without such legislation" he said.
 Two other amendments were urged by the witness. To prevent boot logging he asked, that the committee add a clause making mere personal and physical possession Of 1ntoxicants such as the presence of a bottle in an individuals pocket-unlawful

 Mr. Wheeler also asked for sweep ing search warrant powers. suggest ing thas seizures be authorized with out a warrant, or at least that war rants be issued without requiring testimony in support of requests. Otherwise, he said the liquor might be removed before officers could act.
