FANS WANT jess
TO PROVE ABILITY
Former Champ Should Show
Worth Before Meeting
Dempsey Again.
by ROBERT EDGREN.

II Jess Willard is going to fight
Jack Dempsey again. Jess ought to
go out first and heat one or two
good heavyweights to show that
he's still in the champion class. I
have mentioned this before, but 1t
might as well be mentioned again.
II willard is put on with Demp-
sey again. without first proving
that he has a fair chance to win,
the match will not deserve public
support.
willard was a great heavyweight
when he whipped Johnson. in Ha-
vana in 1915. He went back rapid
ly after that fight, for he changed
his manner of living.
Before fighting Johnson. Willard
never had much money. He travelled
around, boxing often. He trained
nearly a year for the johnson fight.
AS champion he found luXuries he'd
never known before. grew fat, box
ed one ten-rOund no-decision bout
with Frank Moran, and after four
years of ring idleness fought Demp-
seyr and was knocked out. Since
then he hasn't boxed.
In any line of sport. boxing, ten
mis-. golf. baseball, football, or any
thing else, constant competition Is
necessary If the athlete Is to keep
his form and ability.
Although he has been living on
his ranch and may be in much bet
/ ter physical condition than at
Toledo, Willard is entirely out of
boxing. Only~a campaign including
months OF training and at least two
real contests could possibly fit him
to meet Dempsey. With this prepa-
ration and his great strength and
bulk. willard might have a chance.
Naturally proud of his strength
and, thinking that his defeat by
Dempsey was a mysterious sort of
an accident. Willard probably feels
that it would be undignified for him
10 go back to the runner-up class.
But the public doesn't think of IL
| that way. If Willard has confidence
in his ability he ought to welcome
a chance to prove his right to a re-
turn match with the champion. II
he has passed the time when he can
come back successfully it would be
an imposition on the public to
match him with Dempsey at all.
