WILLARD RISES DAILY
WITHOUT ALARM CLOCK
LET'S NATURE TAKE HER
COURSE.
Dempsey's Routine Differs
Somewhat From That
Of Champion.
(By Franl1 q. Menke.l

/ Toledo. o.. June 14.--What is the
daily routine Of fighters in training?
Well
Il get up each morning anywhere be-
tween and T." explained Jess Willard.
Never use an alarm clock. Sort of
permit nature to tip me off as to when
have had enough sleep. Almost i'm
medtately after arising l go for jaunt
on the road for about four miles or so.
Sometimes l run the whole distance,
rest at brisk rate. After / get back
comes a refreshing rundown. Then
At this point It may be explained
that Willard, despite his tremendous
size. eats less food each day than is
partaken by the daintiest OF maidens.
MY breakfast usually consists Of
egg. soft-boiled: sometimes a strip of
bacon. but not often: a cup Of coffee
and toast or rolls"
After breakfast Willard devotes an
hour or two to reading or the answer
ing of mail. Around noon he goes to
town from the cottage he occupies in
one OF the pretty residence sections OF
Toledo. and sort of holds open house"
in the lobby of the Secor hotel.
Usually arrange to get back to my
training quarters about o'clock and
am ready for my daily workout at
$780, explained the champion.
Pulley work. boxing with my spar
ring partners and some bending exer-
cises so far have made up that prog
ress. Afterward comes another rub
down. then perhaps little nap followed
by dinner around z.
II never eat lunch. That means that
I'm rather hungry in the evening. My
meal then is made up of soup, occa-
sionally; meat. potatoes, some fresh
vegetable salad, a dessert and perhaps
a class Of milk At 8 or 10 l am in
bed"
Dempsey's routine differs somewhat.
Three meals day for me--and good
hearty ones" declares the challenger.
And eat what ! want Sure / eat
pie if l want ii, and cake. and every
thing else that tickles my palate.
Frankly. real food is one OF life's joys
for me.
II get up around or so. Some morn
ings / go out for a jaunt on the road
but on others l don't. All depends on
Jimmy DeForrest. my trainer What
he says goes. He's a little. afraid of
me entertaining, and won't let me do
all the work that I'd like to do.
I'm the afternoon l punch the bag
and box with my sparring partner, in
addition to some shadow boxing that
does an awful lot in speeding me up.
Then comes a rundown and a little
swim in the bay which is almost out
side the doors Of the little hotel where
am staying. After dinner / sit around
with the boys, or play cards or pool,
and about 9 or $50 ] turn in. And boy,
oh. boy. how do sleep"

Yesterdays Memorable Battle Here
Southern But Not Minor League Record
Decatur and Bloomington Played Twentysx Innings in Three
Eye League in 1909 Former Winning 2 to l.

The threatened upsetting of the
race in the Southern association for
the six-day period which closed yes
terday. with Little Rock winning five
and losing one. was narrowly averted
by New Orleans taking a game from
Mobile and retaining the champion
ship lead by the margin of one half
game.
But the twenty three inning con-
test here yesterday between the
Lookouts and Crackers. the record in
the league, official statistics show,
overshadowed the small percentage
table. In minor league records the
feat was surpassed once-a twenty
six ming match in the Three Eye, at
Bloomington, ILL.,, in 1909, which De-
catur took from Bloomington. 2 to /.
Records also show Grand Forks and
Fargo, at Devils Lake. N. D., in 1891,
went twenty-five innings for a 0 to 0
draw, but this was not a league con-
test.
The longest major league contest
on record occurred on Sept. 1, 1906,
when the Athletics defeated Boston
4 to 1 in twenty-four innings.

opening game between Nashville and
