HAlaIsY WILLS A TOUGH 'UN.
Will Mako Il Stout Opponent for Jack
Dempsey When They Meet
Title.
(New York American.)


Harry Wills Is a formidable rins
man.
Do not let any criticism Of his show
ing against the unfortunate "Tut'
Jackson lead you astray.
The Brown Panther of New Orleans
will prove stout opponent for Jack
Dempsey when they meet for tho
heavyweight championship Of tho
world.
Some seem to think that Wills
should have disposed Of "Tut" more
handily and more artistically, but
it must be remembered that "Tut"
not only couldn't fight, but wouldn't
fight, and it Is not always an easy
job to quickly dispose of q man whose
sole idea is pulling and hauling.
Dempsey used to have his troubles
With Willie Meehan, not because vii.
lie was a good fighter, but because no
wouldn't fight. Any fighter will tell
you that it is easier to make n show.
ing against q good opponent than
against Joe Magee.
The suggestion has been made tina
Wills should now meet one of thu
white mon in the heavyweight divis.
ion as further test but it seems t.
US this is unnecessary, unless Will
desires. He is formally signed to meet
Dempsey and the Dempsey-Wills ar.
fair will take place as soon rs It ca
be properly organgized.
1t seems to us that Wills's style Of
milling has been rather unjustly cri..
cised. Some seem to think that it Is 4
foul style because Harry has trick
Of clamping his left hand under an Op
ponent's shoulder and yankfng him to
him while betting away with his
right
We doubt If Dempsey will ever Off
er an objection to this method, he.
cause it Is wnter OIL Dempsey's wheel.
Dempsey is q great body punclrer, and
he could hardly ask anything better
than to have an opponent pull him in
We should think the man apt to both
or Dempsey most is the fellow who
keeps away from him.
Wills also whacks an opponent on
the back Of the neck with the so-calI.
ed rabbit punch" This punch 10
Dempsey's own. Then, too, Harry
loves to hammer his right against y
mans back in the region Of the kid.
neys, but we doubt II the damage dons
by this punch, especially to n we'll cob
ditioned man, is very serious.
It must not be forgotten that a
good opponent may be. doing some
thing to Wills while Harry Is execut-
ing all his various tricks.
Tut" jackson was a mere sack CT
meal In the hands Of the powerful,
Harry. He could toss him around at
will. An inspection Of Wills record.
however, fails to disclose that he
handled such men as Jack Thompson

and others in similar fashion.
Wills has changed his style mater

eight years ago he had a good left
hand, and would slash away with /.

had fine foot action.
Now he seems to use his left moro

GreD, however. we decline to admit
that Wills's style Is foul. And when
the time comes, we do not believe that
you will find Jack Dempsey offeriua
the slightest criticism Of it.

Wills RIGHT TO THE JAW KNOCKS OUT
TUT JACKSON, OF OHIO IN THIRD ROUND
(By Charles F. Muthison. }

Tut Jackson, the Ohio Cincinnatus
who left his pillow in the Buckeye
State with the avowed object of elm
mating Harry Wills of New Orleans as
a rival Of Jack Dempsey, made q sat'
failure Of his attempt at Ebbets F1eit.
last Tuesday night when Wills knock
oil him out in the third round Of Il one
SIDED contest.
Jackson demonstrated early in the
first round THAT he was little more
than novice. He was in condition
of terror from the time he first got a
glimpse of Willis huge form until he
curled up on the canvas, completely
knocked out in minutes and sec
onds Of the third sessions.
Wills dropped Jackson for count
or eight in the first round and prob
ably would have stopped him in that
round but for campaign Of strenuous
clinching inaugurated by Jackson to
avoid punishment and continued UP
to the time he received the knockou.
punch.
The terrific hitting powers Of jack
son on which his manager dilated fan
ed to materiulize. AS a matter Of fact
Jackson failed to land single blow
with any force behind it.
JACKSON USES ROUGH TACTICS.
jackson and his managers had prev
iously to the bout expressed the fear
that Wills would employ foul tactics.
Then to the establishment Of the o..
lockers Jackson gave an exhibition o.
foul fighting that seldom has been
seen in Il New York ring. In that re-
Spect Jackson was all expert. He put
his arms around Wills and Rugged
him like a long lost brother. Hv
clamped his arms OIL Wills's gloves
and the big fellow had the greatest
difficulty in keeping his hands clea,
so as to do any effective hitting.
The colored champion, however ,
while in the clutches of his opponent
managed to inflict considerable pun
ishment Oh the body and so weakened
Jackson that when lis jaw was reach
ed he fell an easy victim.
Tut Jackson will now return to his
farm at Washington Court House,
Ohio and reengage in peaceful agricu.
tural pursuits.
Chairman Muldoon Of the boxing
commission was considerably annoyed
by the misleading statements sent out
by Jackson's handlers as to his weight
and fighting qualifications. It was
said in advance that Jackson weighed
200 pounds, was terrific hitter anu
a desperate fighter. On the contrary
he proved to be without any fighting
spirit whatever, devoid Of boxing
skill and without any hitting power.
Mr.. Muldom intimated that he

Grain Men Voice
= Opposition to
Futures Measure
Former President Of Chicago
Board Of Trade Picks Flaws
in Revised Capper.
Tincher Bill.

Washington. June o. (Specia
Telegram Opposition Of the grain
exchanges OF the country to the re
vised Capper-Tineher bill for the reg
ulation OF future trading in grain was
voiced before the house committee OF
agriculture by T. F. Gates. forme'
president Of the Chicago Board o.
Trade.
Mr.. Gates insisted that the new
bill. which seeks to control grain ex'
changes under the commerce clause
OF the constitution. would enable
secretary OF agriculture TO build up
a political machine through his con.
troll OF the weighing and licensing o'
grain.
Encroaches on State.
The Chicago grain man also point
ed out the bill encroached upon some
OF the functions OF the state govern
ments in assuming to control the
weighing OF grain. He said that there
had been q tendency OF late for bur
eaus in the federal government to take
from the State some OF the powers
which rightfully belonged to the lat
ter.
So far as the sections relating to
!. manipulation were concerned, Mr..
Gates said that no new legislation
was needed.
III there are attempts TO corner
the grain markets now, the manipu-
lators can be reached through the
antitrust laws now on the statute
books" He added that attempts to
corner the markets were very in.
frequent.
Under the terms OF the Capper-
Tincher bill grain exchanges would
have to apply to the secretary Of ag-
riculture for rights to operate = con-
tract market. This was opposed by
Mr.. Gates as tending to place too
much power in the hands Of execu-
tive officers.
Oppose Report Plan.
Still another section OF the act,
which provides that governing boards
OF grain exchanges send reports OF
all business done by their members
to the secretary, was opposed on the
ground that 10 competitors were
members of the board. 1t would not
be fair to permit competitors to
know one another's business, he
pointed out. An amendment was
suggested to that section to the ef.
feet that members themselves send
in individual reports.
Tomorrow Frederick B. Wells,
former president Of the Minneapolis
Chamber Of Commerce, will follow
Mr.. Gates in outlining the objections
of the grain exchanges.
Leaders Of the farm bloc" in the
house are anxious to pass the Cap
perl -Tincher bill before the house be-
gins its recess vacation. There IS
little chance that the bill can be
acted upon in the senate however.
