GRAHAM
BACK FROM
Big SCRAP
Hammond Doctor of Opin-
ion that Willard's Stom-
ach Was His Weak Spot.

Jess williard's stomach was his
weak spot according to DR.. J. A. Gra-
ham. of Hammond. who was present
at the big scrap yesterday "Demp-
sey's second punch in the first round
put Willard out or commission and
settled the whole thing" saws Doc.
When the gong sounded Willard
started out fast and made a jab with
his left towards Dempsey That was
the only real blow he struck in the
fight for Dempsey landed one on his
stomach and followed 1t few seconds
later with another. The second
punch did It. was watching VIII
lard's face through a powerful set OF
field glasses and could plainly see the
expression Of pain which followed the
blow. He instantly turned deathIy
white and after that there was moth
ing TO him.
That blow seemed TO paralvze VIII
lard's feet for he displayed no foot
work from then on and the only ac-
tivity shown was in trying feebly to
ward off the blows which Dempse,
rained on him"
Graham. who also saw the Jeffries-
Johnson fght at Reno. says the two
fights were similar willard like
Jeffries came into the ring like a cir
Gus ringmaster." he says. He waved
his arms about his head and noddcs
and bowed TO the crowds. He seemed
to be trying to buck up his courage
Dempsey entered the ring quietly anC
seated himself in his corner. Willard
preferred to remain standing He wa:
showing off his great hulk
In the fighting Willard also acted
much like Jeffries and seemed Eroggy
from the first Dempsey was like z
young tiger He was right over jess
all the time slamming him right and
left. Nothing could stop him. 7 dom
see how Jess stuck in the ring as Ions
as he did. His punishment was aw
full"
Graham went 70 Toledo Thursda,

among whom were Charley Hasse. Ton
