SHAprer iN i TAKES DEFENSE ROLE ChamDlOn IS Rapped Hard by rr Joe Chip, Sparrer. BOXING GOES 10 ROUNDS Bill Tate Again Under Fire In Dempsey Camp, Bnt Most of Trainers Have Respite. BY IGOE. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) TOLEDO, O., June 24. Jess Willard came back to the races today after his Monday loaf and he felt so good that he was up on his toes and dancing about like a lightweight. Jess skimmed through ten rounds with his men, and though he was blowing a bit at the end, ha seemed pretty sure of himselft In the main, he backed away and did world of blocking. He blocked pretty nearly everything that came his way. except perhaps the spiteful little raps that Joe Chip gave him. Chip is the life of the Willard camp when It comes to the sparring trials. Willard seems to enjoy the honest-to-goodness ate tempts of this little fellow to hurt the wearer of the crown. M illard lavltes Hard Knocks. Once Willard had him in a tremen dous bunny hug. Women in the front row were admonished: "Ladies, you must not laugh when the champion is being drawn and quartered." But the women laughed loud and long. Willard had no laugh in the last round, how ever, for spunky little Chip struck with right-hander at close quarters and hit the king on the head so hard that the blood came with a tiny drizzle from bis always open mouth. Willard Insisted on the hardening process today and allowed his hired help free swings. For instance, when he boxed Steamboat Bill Scott he told the fistic navigator to whale away at his stomach. Bill certainly did, ana held Jess with both hands until he was groggy himself. He gave one more mighty poke at Willard and then stepped back to watch the champion topple. Jess didn't tip over, but only invited Bill to continue the belaying. Willard got around on his pins with the grace of a bantam for the first few rounds. He began to lag toward the end, and was puffing after seven rounds. Willard Is Criticised. John J. Ryan saw Jess box today. Ryan is an owner of horses and fast motor boats and knows something about fighting. Jess had gone ajong about five or six rounds with Chip when Ryan up and said, "I'll bet Jess goes for the water bottle." The champion did and then Ryan gave some more expert advice: Watch him take a swig. That fellow isn't right. I'll bet a case of -champagne that he won't be able to expel the water after he has rolled It around his mouth." Jess did just the things that Ryan said he would do. "That's from lack of tip top condition, lie s got a Dale 01 cotton in his mouth as big as a push ball," added Ryan. "He's clogged and fatty clean down to his collar bones. A man isn't right when he acts like that." "Go over to the Dempsey camp, what do you find there never a bottle of water," said John J. Ryan, with the air of a man who pretends to know. Because of Willard's great height he has asked the ring builders to make the top ropes just four feet four inches. Jess must be counting on Dempsey crowding a bit. Jess likes to lean back on the ropes and with his length and great weight it is necessary for him to have all the bracing that the ring law allows. -Dempsey Sparrera Get Respite. Bill Tate was the first under fire in the Dempsey camp today. Tate wasn't handled as roughly today. All the help mates came in for a sort of a respite from hard knocks. This was evident in his bout with Jack Malone, the St. Faul Wltfc Kid Lively. Malone is a fast little fellow and Dempsey got right down to the busi ness of outboxing the little fellow if he could. Dempsey made a splendid showing in the matter of sheer science TOLEDO TRAFFIC IS WORSE THAN THE GOLD STRIKE. Reasok Of It s 1.1 He kept working full force, but called on Malone to rip and tear, which order was fully carried out- The best fight of the day in the Dempsey camp was the bout between the challenger and Jamaica Kid. Kid is clever and Demp sey tries with might and main to out guess him. They exchange no love taps and it is a real go while they are at it. Perhaps the hardest punching Dempsey engaged In was during the last round with Bill Tate. He caught Bill several hard ones that made the lanky darkey hang on for dear life. Once Bill got a terrific shot against the side of the head and he reached out and took the challenger into a close clutch "until his head had cleared. . REFEREE PROBLEM TACKLED Tex RIckard, Jack Welch and Billy Brown Suggested. TOLEDO, O., June 24. Tex RIckard, promoter of the heavyweight cham pionship contest between Willard and Dempsey July 4, tonight met Jack Kearns, manager of the challenger. and officials of the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control in an effort to solve the problem of selecting a referee. Willard did not -attend the confer ence, but arranged to meet Promoter RIckard tomorrow. Included in the list of officials sub mitted by Kearns as acceptable to Dempsey were Bill Brown of New York; Jack Welch, San Francisco; Ollie Pecord, Toledo; Jim Griffin of San Francisco; Kid McPartland of New York; Jack Skelly of Yonkers, N. Y.; Walter Kelly of Buffalo, and Billy Roche of New York. W. A. -Gavin, a member of the exe cutive committee of the board, and Adam Empie, secretary, profess to be lieve the situation is not a serious one and that the question, will be settled within two or three days. Various reports were current tonight that Willard had declared that he would accept RIckard as referee and no one else. Another report was that Kearns would insist upon either Jack Welch of San Francisco, or Billy Brown of New York. Willard is opposed to the plan of having two judges in ad dition to a referee. Dempsey 24 Years Old. Dempsey was 24 years old today, and in true boy fashion celebrated the oc casion with a birthday party tonight by entertaining 24 children of the neighborhood. Twenty-three hundred persons paid 25 cents each today to visit the chal lenger's camp in anticipation of seeing him flatten out his sparring partners. Bill 'Tate, who was knocked out yes terday and the Jamaica Kid, another negro sparring mate, kept their chins out of harm's way, but both were con siderably shaken up. willard boxed 10 exceedingly tame rounds and refrained from doing any thing impressive, although he worked In the ring for 69 minutes. He con tinually stood flat-footed and allowed his sparring mates to hit him in the stomach. John J. Relster removed the last pos sible legal obstacle to the contest to day when he announced he would not take his case against Dempsey into court at this time. Relster claims to have a contract to manage Demosev. DEMPSEY PICKED ' TO WIX Managers, "Trainers and Referees FaTor Challenger. Jack Dempsey will stop Jess Will ard in about eight rounds." said Dumb Dan Morgan, -manager of Jack Britton, Battling Levlnsky and who has handled a score of well-known boxers, in an Interview given out in New York. "He is the hardest hitting man alive. He has youth, hitting ability, game ness and is- a clean-cut fellow." Other managers, trainers, referees and other brands of critics and celebri ties gave their opinions some of which follow: Sam Harris, who managed Terry McGovern Looks like Willard. Sandy M'Naughton, trainer of Omar Khayman I like Dempsey. Honest John Kelly, famous referee and stake holder Willard. Albert Cutler, billiard referee Will ard. Jimmy DeForest, chief trainer of Jack Dempsey The distance of 12 rounds is quite sufficient to decide this contest. In fact, I confidently ex pect that the battle will be decided long before the 12th round is reached. I look for Dempsey to knock the champion out in one - of the early rounds. George M. Cohn My partner Sam Harris figures that Jack Dempsey has a good chance and as Harris seldom makes a mistake In picking: he picked me, didn't he? I guess I'll string along with Dempsey. Sam Harris I am rooting for Jack Distance doesn't seem to count The longer you walk and the farther you go, the more you'll enjoy the journey if it's made on "USCO" Rubber Heels.

Tad, New York Evening Journal My opinion of the Willard-Dempsey fight Is that Dempsey will be the winner. William H. Hicks, Jr., sporting editor. New York Evening Journal Willard. Sid Mercer, New York Globe I think that 12 rounds will be ample for Demp sey to win in. Californians Will See Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal 'June 24.
