DEMPSEY MUST BOX
IN CLOSE TO WIN

The following points are empha-
sized by Tex O'Rourke in discussing
the case of Willard VS.. Dempsey.
1t will be remembered that
O'Rourke trained lizard for the Ha-
vana scrap. He is well known as a
writer on fistic affairs, having been
connected with the game for many
years. Here are his conclusions as
to Dempseys chances on July 4:
FirSt-While there are cases where
little men have beaten big men, there
has always been some good reason.
The big men in question have either
lacked Wizards skill or his ability
to resist punishment.
Second Wizards great reach will
make il impossible for Dempsey to
hit him at anything but short range.
Johnson got inside Wizards arms
and Dempsey nuts do likewise
Third-If Willard can keep the fight
ing at long range he can land with
his left jab at a distance where
Dempsey cannot land at all
Fourth-At long range willard can
hit with either hand without moving
his feet, whereas Dempsey must take
a step in first.
I II I'LL iDeinpSey BtlS luSiuc W IL
lard's guard he must do all the dam
age he can with his first punch. a.
Willard is so big and strong that he
can smother following punches OF
push Jack away.
SiXth-There isn't the slightest
doubt that Wizards advantage in
height. reach and weight will be a
big factor. How big a factor will de
pend upon his condition. Jess may
lose in spite Of, but surely not be-
cause Of, his unusual size

Bum Lamp Doesn't
Worry Jack

TOLEDO, Ohio, June IA
Jack Dempsey is nothing if not a
cheerful young individual. The
challenger came into the city
last night and despite the fact
that his bad eye has completely
put him out of business hasn't a
care in the world.

the big young fellow. IF it
were under the eye would con-
slider it mighty bad. But it's
over, you see, and I can heal it
up in a hurry. Say, what's lit
tie blood, anyway? Why, it's a
pleasure to get hit when you are
in the best of shape.
zone thing is sure. You can
always use your arms, no mat
ter how much you may be cut
around the eyes. And I'll use
mine as you never saw them
used in this fight.
Don't mind that eye. They'll
have to cut my head off to put
me out of this contest"

None would have yelled had Shanks

the deadly pegging fin OF the re-

knew that this was his chance for a

Mccartney, who was manager of
Luther Mccarthy some years ago. was
over to give willard the up and down

said Bill as he sat down in Dempsey's
Iounging room. What, he shakes
like jellyish around the biceps and
shoulders. don't say that he's right
at all Just fat. that's all"
Bill Tate, the husky colored boy
who is boxing with Dempsey. says
that Jack is a "hghtin' fool" when
he gets going" said Bill, he don't
hear nothing. He's just in there to
tear you to pieces. He don't hear
no bells or nothing.
Cook Can't Hear Him.
The other day I heard that old
gong cIang, but that Dempsey. he
tes' KEEP rippin' after me as though I
shouldn't live. He hit me on the
Adams apple three Gays ago. and I
can't boiler loud enough for the cook
to hear.
The happiest man in Toledo yester-
day was big Jess Willard. All morn
ing long the champion lounged about
the corridor of the Secor Hotel, JOSH
ing and laughing and telling stories
to the gang. He was all smiles and
said that within ten Gays we would
see him in condition ready to go 100
rounds.
I'm tapering off great" chirped the
big fellow, as he sunk lower in the
big armchair. 81 feel better than ever,
and really love the afternoon work

Stripped for Work.
At 3 o'clock out on the beach. near
NGaumee Bay. the big fellow stripped

After FIVE minutes of puIly work

Walter Monahan. arrayed in a
sweet blue gym suit, came next and
gave Jess a hot time. Jess at times
threw his hands over his head and
let Monahan whale away at his
stomach, while the assembled null
titude howIed with JOY. Where do
you want him to hit me this time?"
howled Jess TO the crowd.
Willard really looks good He
has a healthy look, his eyes are
bright, he perspires freely, and was
breathing quite easily today, even
though he did put in a tough day
Black and blue blotches are all over

TIGERS ARRIVE FOR

BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The Detroit Tigers. next above the
Griffs in the standings to date, open
four game series at Georgia ave
nue. today. and it is certain to be
filled with dazzling stuff. Coming
East the Jungaleers Threatened TO
rush right away into first place, but
they hit a couple Of Snags in Boston
and New York. and they are now in
sixth place. OF course, they cannot
add to their peace of mind by
Eliminating on the daily standings.
Meanwhile, probably because they've
been banged and battered around
ever since the season started the
Griffmen have developed certain
peevishness demonstrated by winning
games every other day or so. The
mingling at the ball yard during this
coming series should be a hot one.
Break Even in Series.
The Griffs broke even with the In
dams by taking the final victory, l
to 0. 1t was by all odds the best
game played in Washington this
season, brilliant fielding. hard rap

shown. Also, and not least Mr..
Picinich contributed the prize bone

equaled, but never surpassed.
Mr. Picinich led off in the second

wee foul fly in the vicinity Of first
base and Mr.. Picinich started for sec

started for third. He easily got
there. He stood upon the bHg like
conquering hero and watched Bill

there upon the third cushion stood

The wonder of il all was that he
came back the next inning with

know would have bcnchcd him at
once with a fine on his noble brow.

something about foul flies.
