It's Worth the Money.
Despite the pulled punches, and the
other stereotyped stunts with sparing
partners, these exhibitions have been
worth the money. It is worth a quar-
ter to see Willard shadow boxing. AS
he chases an imaginary rival around
the ring his fury grows, and when he
gets the poor devil into a corner, he
shows absolutely no mercy, whaling
away with both mitts, and emitting
through his nose with each punch a
sound which Is a cross between a
sneeze and a snort Of defiance.
Dempsey Is picture Of manly per.

three partners. respectively, white,
medium and dark meat, he PAGES
