TOLEDO, o., Aug. 5.-Three Of the
four favorites Of the Grand circuit card
came through winners yesterday at the
Fort Miami track, but some thrilling
finishes marked most of the races.
Royal Palm, winner at Kalamazoo
two weeks ago, took the Toledo Blade

turo race of the day, in stright heats,
while Fayonian won the Legal News

Bogalusa came through in the first
heat. All OF the three heats were trot-
ted by the Juveniles in less than 2:10,
making it the fastest race of the sea-

Brother Peter, one of the members

rank outsider among the talent, won his

At last Champion Jack Dempsey's
first opponent has been named. He
is Billy Miske, the st. Paul heavy
weight, and not Brennan, Fulton or
Wills, the three who had been prom
inently mentioned.
Miske has not fought in so long many
fight fans had forgotten he was still in
the game. Billy, though, is entitled to
the first chance at the champion, as he
is the only American heavyweight OF
prominence who has fought Dempsey
and escaped a knockout.
The st. Paul man fought Dempsey
twice and lasted the limit on each
occasion. He first met him in ten
round no-decision contest at St. Paul.
Some writer's thought Miske outpointed
the man who later won the heavyweight
crown.
They next fought at Philadelphia, six
rounds being the limit. 1t was a few
weeks after Dempsey knocked out Bat
ting Levinsky and Perky Flynn in the
same ring. The spectators expected
Miske to get the same treatment from
the gladiator who was knocking them
all cold, but, much to their surprise
Miske lasted to the finish.
Dempsey won the championship from
Willard. He is reported to have said
II have fought Dempsey twice and
kept on my feet to the finish. How
did it l do not know. Perhaps It was
because Dempsey wanted to let me
stay. Anyway, | stuck it out"
If that's the way he looked at It
year ago, possibly his only reason
for consenting to meet Dempsey Is that
there Is a losers end to the purse and
Miske can use the money
