ALL TAPPING And
BANDAGINc WILL
Be DONE IN RING
Willard Wins His Point in This
COntrOversy-NO Oil On Bod
les is Agreed.

Tledo, Ohio, July Jess Will
lard and Jack Dempsey will go
into the ring for the heavyweight
championship contest here Friday
with bare hands and all bandagirg
and tapping will be done in view cf
the spectators and seconds of the
heavyweight rivals. This an
nouncement was made today by
Tex Richard, promoter of the con-
test The decision to request the
boxers to bandage their hands in
the ring is regarded as a victory
for Willard who protested against
Dempsey's plans TO adjust the tape
and bandages IN his hands while
in the dressing room.
What amount of tape and band
ages will be used has not been de-
termined, but Willard said that he
would insist upon a thin layer of
cotton surgical bandages and only
enough tape to hold the bandages
in place.
Richard and the referee, Ollie
Pecord, will probably make a de-
cision in this regard tomorrow.
Final arrangements regarding
the details of the big ring contest
were completed at a conference
between the boxers, managers and
Richard and each camp knows
inst what is expected of the prin-
cipals and their seconding brigade.
The boxers will wear specially
made 5-ounce gloves and each will
be allowed to have five seconds in
their corners including the man
ager or adviser as the case may be.
not be made until the day of the
battle.
willard inquired whether Demp-
sey intended to grease his body as
he heard was being done previous
to the daily workouts. He said
that it did not make any difference
to him which way the challenger
appeared provided he knew in ad-
vance and could do likewise.
Dempsey told Richard that he
had never CREASED his body at any
time and had no intention of doing
so for the championship bout. This
statement cleared the situation and
there will be no Amounting of bod
les with oily liquids during the last
few hours before the clash. While
this is a favorite trick of wrestlers,
it is not the usual custom among
boxers, although offering certain
advantages in a long fight. The
oil or grease comes to the surface
when the athlete begins to perspire
and soon it is impossible to secure
a firm hold or clinch.
Elaborate preparations are
being made to report the coming
contest. The record established at
Reno with the gathering of news
