Miske in Good
Shape to Fight
Champ Dempsey
BY E. w. SMITH,

BY E. w. SMITH,
Written for the International News
Service
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-These fight
fans that saw Billy Miske put in his
first days work out for the Dempsey
fight September 6, here sterday
came away with a regular impress.
sion. Most of them who spoke to me
after the four rounds display of box
ing and wrestling told ne they
thought Miske would put up regu>
lar battle with the champion and
others.
And they were in the minority
expressed the belief that Dempsey
would beat him but only after a
tough fight.
Miske gave the fans nice display
considering that he is not extending
himself in the least at the. present
time. Miske went two rounds of a
vigorous nature with the ancient but
still very good Jack Blackburn, old
time light and middle weight fighter
and after that they brought out a
young middleweight named Jimmy
Delaney from st. Paul. He is very
fast and clever and kept Miske NOV
ing every minute of the time.
""They talk about me being a sick
man." Miske said scornfuliy, "but
look at me-I'm as big this minute
as Dempsey was when he beat Will
lard and feeling extra fine"
Miske looks it. He weighed 1874
pounds yesterday without an ounce
of clothing and every inch of him
seems to be ready" He looked to
be almost an exact replica Of Demp-
sey, as far as actual size is con-
cerned. He is about as tall, about
as broad and while there is a general
shape of the men, little disparity can
be noted. The Dempsey chest is
fuller and the Dempsey arms a bit
more club like, but outside of this
they are about the samoa corking
good match.
Miske will work out here again
and will go to Benton Harbor where
he will complete his training.
