DEMPSEY RIPS INTO
 STARRING PARTNERS
Challenger Resumes Boxing After Ten-Day Lay-Off>
 With Bad Eye

Toledo, O.. June 2.-Jack Dempsey got back into the full swing of his boxing today. after 10 days layoff, due to cut over his right eye. and stepped five bristling rounds with Terry Kellar, Sergt, Bill Tate and the Jamaica Kid. The chal- lenger went through his paces before crowd of 5000 persons.
 Dempsey wore a patch over his dam aged eye, but pulled it off before box ing two rounds. and ripped into his spar ring mates to the delight of the throng. Kellar left the ring with a puffed and bruised eye as a result of a savage left hook landed by the challenger.
 Willard confined his workout to eight rounds. The champion was lenient with his sparring mates Jack Heinen, who was knocked out for the third time yes terday, was unable to don the gloves be- cuase of an injury to his neck caused when his head struck the floor of the ring. Steamboat" Bill Scott, a 1s0- pounder. took Heinens place for the day.
 Tom Jones, Willard's manager for more than six years, saw the champion work today for the first time since he split with him. and was favorably impressed. Outside Willard's seeming sluggishness, Jones said the champion looked as good as ever.
 WILLARD IS SLOW
 willard seems a trifle slow, but he did not exert himself today" Jones said. That thin layer of fat around his stomach was there when he fought John- son, and it means nothing. The man never lived who could hurt him around his stomach and that, in my judgment, includes Dempsey. Jess is coming along al, right and will be in condition if he works his hardest from now on."
 Adam Empie, secretary of the army, navy and civilian board of boxing con- trol, arrived today for a conference with Promoter Rickard, Dempsey, Kearns ana Willard, concerning submitting for their consideration a list of referees for the match. From the number actually fla vored a selection will be made by Maj. Anthony J. Drexel- Riddle, president of the board, and Alfred Marilley, counsel for the board, who will arrive in Toledo Monday Empie intimated that two judges in addition to a referee would be named
 John J. Reisler, known as John the Barber former manager of Dempsey. arrived today with five attorneys in an effort to reach financial settlement with Kearns and Dempsey. Reisler claims he has a contract to manage the challenger, which does not expire until next December. He attempted to arrange meeting with Rickard, but Rickard said Willard said the matter would be handled by his attorneys.

Say, Have you noticed how Peters and Duncan's batting averages have taken a jump since yesterday? Yet they have not played a game to account for the in- crease. The truth is that we have been robbing them all along and that they de served more than we gave them Now that they are on the lists in a correct fashion watch the direction of their smoke.
 Pete has played in 52 games. He has hit safely in A of these games making eight games in which he has been blanked. In the last 10 games he has hit 12 times, to a total percentage of .S6s. about his regu- lar average.
 Patricia Duncan has hit in 42 out of 52 games. In the last 15 of these games he has made 23 hits. When boiled down the facts point out that this is a per centage of .3S6
 We can't discuss records without mem tioning our Eddie In games he has hit Il times, percentage of 40.
 The Philadelphia Nationals found a vic- tim yesterday and finally broke their los- ing streak. While being prevented from winning, by losing, this club had dropped 13 straight ball games.
 Pitcher Mamaux of the Dodgers proved too much for the Chicago Cubs, and the latter were handed goose egg for their days work.
 MT. Causey of the Giants and Mir Doak of the St. Louis Nationals staged a battle yesterday, the former being winner by a margin of one run.
 The second shutout of the day in the National league came when the Pittsburg Pirates defeated the Braves by score or to O. Although the Braves halted Pitts burg in a winning squirt of seven straight victories in the first game of the series. the Pirates have wrecked revenge by talk ing the remaining three games in ths series
 Speaking of slugging contests. look at this Five runs and 12 hits by the De- troit Tigers, and 12 runs and 14 hits by the Athletics, and 1t was all in one game.
 Pitcher Faber of the Chicago White Sox fell to the same fate of our own Cyrus Slapnicka He allowed only seven hits. but his team offered ragged defense. and let in six runs, meanwhile scoring but half as many on 10 hits.
 Willard has not much of Knockout record behind him. Apparently he is try ing to make one while training for the Dempsey knockout. (which way0. He handles his training partners in man. ner which is little short of sleep-produc- ing. in many cases not short at all.

NATURE HAS BEEN KIND ID JESS, BUT WATCHJACK'S K'SSMOKE
Willard Has Advantage of 45 Pounds, 5lz Inches in Height and 5 Inches
 in Reach
BY BoB McDAvID
By BOB M'DAVID

With more than 45 pounds advantage in weight, 5 1-2 inches in height and 5 inches in reach, can Jess Willard knock Dempsey out in l2 rounds? Personally we think not, and furthermore, we have a hunch that Jess Is the man who will be found in dreamland if a knockout should happen to occur in that July 4 battle.
 12-round championship bout is farce in itself, for ordinarily good boxer doesn't hardly warm up in that time, but as long as they have ar ranged it thusly we believe the match will be decided on points. And unless Dempsey beats Willard up pretty bad ly nc referee is going to take the title away from the champion. In other words, Jess will get the benefit of the doubt.
 Below are the physical specifIca- dons of the men at the present time:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-22


 Will Jess Willard be in real fighting shape on July 4?
 T certainly will,' declares the cham pion.
 He won't be, unless he changes his training programme in a radical way retort most of the ring experts gath cred in Toledo They have watched him In his daily workouts for nearly three weeks, and apparently they aren't im- pressed
 Rarely in ring history has the training camp work of champion been more se- vereiy criticized than that of Willard. But Willard seems unmoved by it
 My one aim is to be in the best con- dition of my career on July 4, and I'll acheve 1t, "> claims the heavyweight king, My methods of self-training may not be in strict keeping with the ideas of some sport wrters, but know my phys ical powers a lot better than they do. have so arranged my plans that I will work into shape slowly but surely. I will be at the very top on July f. There won't be any chance of my overtraining and going stale, as there is when a fighter works under the training orders of an other.''
 Just the same, the reports from To- ledo have it that Willard is sort of loaf ing along in his work. This is not en- couragng to his admirers. Undoubtedly those who have acclaimed Willard one of the truly greats of pugilism would back him to the limit of their bank rolls if assured that he would be in first class fighting trim. But they are a bit skep- tical about it since dispatches from To- ledo have cast doubts as to Willard s ability to turn the conditioning trick
 Willard, in perfect physical condition. stacks up as one of the greatest fighting machines of all time. His natural endur- aEce powers are nothing short of phe- romenaL All through the years of his fistic life he has taken thousands of the most terrific punches that his foemen could send into his head or body. John son, Morris and Smith, great hitters, all of them, pounded him with the mightest

 punches they could summon. But they never even staggered him. The champion insists that he has concrete stomach" And that about ex- presses the sort of stomach he presented to Johnson and all the others. But will it be the same knockout-proof stomach that he will show to Dempsey, or will it be one weakened by lack of the strenuous training which the experts declare he needs?
 Many persons incline to the belief that Willard holds Dempsey in light esteem, and that he had figured it won't be neces- sary to be in really wonderful shape to whip the Utah mauler." If that is Will lards idea, it may be a terrible blunder Dempsel apepals as one of the greatest
 hitting heavyweights of all time and no living man who is out of condition can tackle him-and then win. Dempsey is a real fighting man-make no mistake about that He hits with dynamic power He has demonstrated his great two-handed punching on score of occasions
 But WiIlard-in condition, mind you-is a different type of man than Dempsey
 ever faced before; a clever man and fast for one so large. fighter with powers to assimilate punishment-when in condition.
 mind you-beyond anything ever before

 But Wllaru out ol iiSntiis Sohui'ioii 10 something else again. If he isn't tuned to concert pitch, if his stomach won't stand all the sledge hammer blows of Dempsey, something is likely to happen that will be a great surprise to the champion. If
 W illard goes into the ring even slightly
 lacking in the necessary condition for the championship fight, he may find Dempsey carrying him along so fast that he can not keep step.
 If Willard is in real fighting shape, the battle ought to be a thriller from start to finish But if Willard isn't-if he lacks in stamina, short in wind and if his
 muscles aren't frightened to go F rounds without feeling terrific strain-then the dreams of Jack Dempsey of heavy
 weight throne of his own have fine
 chance of coming true.
