Manager Kearns was of the same
sentiment and in his pocket was a
note from Jim Corbett, not published

fighter America ever produced
With a couple months OF descry
that Dempsey is a real miracle, a
prodigy in the ring. a natural worlds
champion, it is impossible to under
stand how so many so-called experts
gave Willard the choice for Win
ming. The fall down is the hollow
est joke ever perpetrated on the
sport writer's fraternity. Think of
the renowned Billy Recap, suggest
ed as the most able man in the coun-
try, saying on the morning of the
fight: willard should win; fight
ing chance FOR Dempsey" And he
went or to say:
THE writer does not believe
Dempsey possesses the boxing abil-
ity to reach the vulnerable parts of
Wizards anatomy, nor does he
possess the reach to land his blows
first on a lead to the head. He must
bore in, hoping to land his sleep
producing punch. But he possesses
little defense and will be inviting de-
feat.
"Willard boxes hat-footed, is al
ways poised ready to meet an oppon-
ent, and Dempsey, with his lack or
defense, must expect to get jolted
hard and often with straight lefts
and right-hand uppercuts, blows
which Willard has timed to a nicely
and which, backed up by his 245
pounds a~voirdupois, carry great
force.
Dempsey to win must do so
quickly; but the writer, who has
studied the two men from every pos
sible angle, likes Wizards chances
better"

Willard into the ring to loosen the
title from him.
Buy why all the artless ring critics
should have been duped; this is too

Riest explains in the case of Rabbi
Abramson and the boy companion
William Boyer, who went over the
dam recently to their death, that
the Rabbi had long been accustomed
to handling, which makes the
tragedy all the more curious. 1t is
believed that he may have ventured
to guide the craft over the dam, for
he was too skillful to be dashed
over by the current.
The beautifully lighted deck will
be open to the public afternoon and
evening and it is the aim of Mr..
Riest to invite the Civic Club, the
Chamber of Commerce and other
city activities to occasional functions.
He will cater to sewing parties, card

relish the cool breezes of the water

WILLARD'S WIFE

Sorry to See Him Beaten
By Associated Press.

Toledo, Ohio, July 5.-There is one
woman in Toledo tonight happy

worlds heavyweight champion. She
is the wife of the vanquished title
holder, and mother of his five chill
dren. She left them at their home
in Lawrence, Kan, came to Toledo
unannounced last night and, with
/ Wizards attorney, occupied a seat in
the $50 section yesterday afternoon
while her husband was being bat
tered to defeat. No one in the huge
crowd, except the champion him
self, knew she was there.
When the bruised and battered
giant of the ring was brought to the
home he had occupied in Toledo,
Mrs. Willard was there. eager to
care for his wounds. She put him
on a davenport and sat at his side.
applying soothing iced cloths to his
closed eye.

times.

The old Susquehanna was a gay
gathering place last night for hun
dreds of Harrisburgers and visitors
who patronized the Municipal Port
at the foot of South street where
George Riest now has opened four
huge crafts to house canoes and &C
commodate swimmers. The city au-
thorities, perhaps feeling guilty at
not doing something to satisfy the
intense demand for bathing facili-
ties has aided in getting lights to the
big plant and in cutting down scrag-
ely trees which cut off the dock
from view along Front street.
This place is a zeal boon to thou
sands who desire to take advantage
of swimming, sculling, motto boat
ing and canoe padding. There was
no formal opening last night beyond
furnishing one big deck with thirst
quenching soft drinks and the turn
ing on of a fine system of many
colored lights which CLEAN out far
n wide over the lovely basin and
make a merry haven to voyagers up
and down the wide river.
Riest is to be commended for his
enterprise in going ahead making
a considerable investment on a mere
chance, for his place is now the one
central spot for water pleasure, al
most 200 canoes being housed at
present.
1t looked like Kipona last even
ing with every canoe abroad, ac-
companied by the tinkle of guitar
and the little player machines; and
the big crowd which occupied the
deck looking on indicates what may
be expected as the Municipal Port
becomes better known
One of the first moves contem-
plated by Riest is to start a volun-
teer life saving corps which should
have been under way long ago. HI
intends to ask a dozen or so good
swimmers to cooperate on this plan;
to take instruction on first-aid; learn
the handling of a pulmotor, and in
general be able to take action which
will save lives. too many of which
have been lost in recent years. A
life boat is ready now for service,
with two sets of bars a light, broad
craft fitted for rescue work. The
business of securing a pulmotor may
have to be handled by subscription
although the city, by right, should
contribute this.
The annual toll paid to Neptune
In valuable lives should be sufficient
incentive for every one to learn
swimming. Every child above the
age of five should be perfectly at
home in the water and as in some
cities teaching of swimming should
be compulsory. AS a preventive of
disease and up-builder of the body
and a moulder of form IL is without
rival in the physical gamut of x
ercise. 1t is an agent for the de-
velopment of the mind and will. as
proved by French and English gov
ernments who are curing paralytics
now with swimming. 1t is a fact
that the delicate and deformed will
ind q regular panacea in this
health giving sport which should be
INDUCED in tut in the open and
not in some enclosed pool, used by
many.
Yesterday the demand was so
great that tt~could not be met and
1t was almost touching to see so
many ogling the cool water without
any way Of getting in. The hiring
of canoe had to be abandoned for
they were all taken in jlg-time and
the day established a custom which
MI. Riest will continue, namely to
register every one who rents a
n also the passengers.
Furthermore, notice was put up that

None of the high-priced critics APP

Kearns was wise long since. In
deed, that was the only cue he a
to work on to hook Willard up with
the demon Dempsey.
When Jack was here with Demp-
sew and their musical comedy show
a short time before Dempsey started
training. Kearns had not cemented
the contract and all that made him
anxious was that Willard would not
have enough nerve to stand up and
be knocked out ever though recelV-
ing a fortune.
Rut money is what baited Jess

from the first what was coming. HOW

Standing of the Clubs
Yesterdays Scores

When h M~arySVllle leaderS
dropped two games to the fast NOV
ing Newport outfit yesterday, the
team percentage was lowered con-
siderably and the Dauphin-Perry
League ace frightened up to a large
extent. With the Newport protest
of her defeat by Duncannon last
week still undecided, chances are
that the race will be frightened still
more.
Inability to hit Ray Wertz and
Buck" Gilday, coupled with a de-
cided lack of life, especially in the
afternoon, together with a large
number of errors of omission and
commission, were responsible for
Marysville's defeat. On the other
hand, Newport hit the ball when
hits meant run and played a sterl-
ing game throughout both contests.
The heat appeared to bother both
teams somewhat. h was particu-
larly noticeable in the afternoon
and accounted for some of the lack
CT life shown by the teams. So in
tense were the rays of the sun in
the afternoon that Umpire Nebinger

Three home runs were respon-

Rush, also picked out the first ball
SEN over by Biever, and drove it
owe the fence in left center. Again
in'the fifth inning this same Wag-
ner drove one of Biever's shoots
over the left field fence, this time
with the bases loaded.
While Biever's shoots were being
hit hard. Lefty" Wertz held Marys-
vile helpless. In only M instance
did M~arysville get a runner as far
as third base.
Hit Hart Hard
Hart, on the mound for Marys-
vile for the first time since 1915,
when he hurled Marysville to. a PEN
nant, was hit hard by Newport in
the afternoon, a total of fourteen
singles being collected off his de-
livery. Gutshall and Shrener were
the chief offenders, each driving out
four safeties.
The game was a nip and tuck af-
fair until the seventh, when New
port drove in four tallies. Marys-
vile had been playing a l~ifeless
game since the first inning when
they had scored three runs off Gill
day. In the ninth the leaders lost
a good chance to score when the
first two batsmen got on through
@eing walked and hit. Herman was
out on a fly to first, but Lightner
drove a clean single into left center.
Rutter could have scored easily
from second, but was held on third

he would make a try for the plate,
was caught between second and
