LOTS OF MONEY BET

Champion Dempsey Only 10

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Sept.
S.-There is a lot of betting already
on Mondays ten-round bout here be-
tween Heavyweight Champion Jack
Dempsey and Billy Miske. OF course
Jack is the favorite, but only at about
odds OF 10 to 8 that he wins on points
If the bout goes the limit. There is
a tremendous amount of money being
bet at evens that Miske goes the
limit,

aside all brakes and gave their SPAR

days last hard w0Skout. Both boxers
waded through six rounds of real &C

In this respect. as on every day thus
far, Dempsey got the better workout.
Miske feels the lack or capable spar
ring partners He is wofully in need
OF some one at his Eastman Springs
camp to make him extend himself.
Some one to compel him to step
around at n lively clip. He has no
one TO do the forcing and Is compelled
to set all the pace himself. This Is
far from being a good arrangement,
Miske is very much perturbed over
the report that has been circulated
that he is still suffering from the eff
fects of an operation. II had my
tonsils cut out about six months ago,
said Miske, land at the same time
had slight curvature Of the spine
which demanded complete rest. Ny
