TOLEDO, Ohio, June 2l.-Jack
Kearns feels certain that his protege,
Jack Dempsey, will enter the ring
here two weeks from Friday a favor
lite in the betting.
Its going to break a precedent"
said Jack today. For the first time
in ring history a challenger will rule
favorite over a heavyweight title
holder.
Betting men are not dairy, you
know. They have been figuring this
thing out, and I'm sure the big money
will be with Jack.
No athlete in any branch OF sport
can lay off three years and come
back as effective as he was LOOK at
Joe Wood, of the Cleveland baseball
team. A crack pitcher. wasn't he?
stood the Giants on their heads in
those world series games, didn't he?
Joe hasn't pitched in two or three
years now, has he?
DO you mean to tell me that he
could step into the box tomorrow and
deliver the goods He could warm up.
Yes, he might show flashes Of form
then. but stick him into a big game
with men on bases; give him some
thing to think about and see how he
will go. The catcher might call for
a low ball, an oUtcurve, a drop or any
other delivery, and I'd bet that Joe
would never get the pill over the pan.
He Never Was Fast.
willard never was fast. He is try
ing to get speed now. You can't
make a racehorse out Of a mule. II
isn't in him. Willard is bound TO be
slower and less effective now than
wears ago. He can't step in after
Iay-off Of three years, and be the
willard he was. Betting men know
this.
And another thing. he doesn't like
the game. Dempsey does. Jack is a
porn fighter He knows how to fight;
