Less than SO pounds instead of th heralded SO or 70 pounds will be- th difference in weight between Jess Wil iard and Jack Dempsey when they climb into the ring at Bayview Park a week from today to box for th world's heavyweight championship. The champion weighed himself before starting his work yesterday, and to tie surprise of boxing experts tipped the beam at J4J'4 pounds. This is si and a quarter pounds below the weigh he made for his championship match witn Jack Johnson. A week ago th champion scaled 248 pounds. Dtmpiejr scaled 197 pounds yesterday, and Jimmy Deforest, trainer of the chal lenger, -said today he expected to send his charge into the ring weighing abou that figure. With the contest Just a week away the heavyweight rivals are finishing their training. Dempsey confine! hi workout to threee rounds of boxing this afternoon and a round of shadow boxing. Sergeant Bill Tate, who has been knocked out and otherwise severely punished by the challenger, pleaded with Traoner Deforest today for a rest because of the soreness around his ribs and mid-section from the punching Dempsey has given him. Willard boxed before a crowd num bering about 3500 persons. The work out was a frolic for the champion all the way. than that to help him forget the gate receipts. Jimmy De Forrest, Jack Dempsey's trainer, says Jack is on "razor edge." Now all that Jack has to do is to raise the lofty Mr. Willard. . If he does a lot of his backers will be able to raise the mortgage on their little homes. Sol Stiller says he-Is quite sure Tex Rickard will win and the public will lose, but outside of that he has no opinion on the big fuss at Toledo. Xever did find out whether Noah ever played off those 40 double-headers. Best Ichiya Kumagae gets is the Japanese championship of New Jersey and suburbs. Looks like golf will be an outdoor game after July One. If Fulton had only kept his head, he might have had his fight with Willard if he had only kept his feet with Demp sey.

Burns, who is at present at Van couver, B. C, promoting shows and getting along swimmingly, gives his reason in a letter to Bobby Evans, who was associated with Burns in promot ing boxing shows in this city several years ago. Burns writes: "Willard is only champion by nature; not by his ability as a mittslinger. He has had but two contests in six years, the one In which he won the title from Jack Johnson and his go with Frank Moran at .New York. ootn or whom were through.

With the exception of the provision for Inspect ing horse meat, the house yesterday adopted the conference -report on the 137.000.000 agricultural appropriation bill. The house sent the measure back to conference and instructed Its man agers to Insist upon provision for branding as well as inspection of horse meat. Objection to the rider repealing the daylight saving law was voiced by sev- ral members but was approved finally. Read The Oregonian classified ads. "I seldom go wrong on these cham pionship affairs," continues Tommy, ,"for I figured out from my own ex perience. Willard would never have bad a chance with Johnson in his prime, say along about the time I fought him in Australia. Willard, too, has padded his age a little, and he is older than he admits. I had - Willard and Fulton matched at New Orleans, and I traveled for some length of time with the circus. an I want to say that Willard, while not a heavy dlsslpator, nevertheless took less care of himself than a cham pion should. - - "Dempsey, some say, is small, but he is big enough, in my estimation, to wnip any heavyweight and especially rat heavywe.ght like Willard. The 60 pounds of extra beef will not make any difference. I think psychol ogy will enter the fight. The fans will be with Dempsey, and that will have its effect on the champion. He will beat himself Just as Marvin Hart beat himself when he -fought me. I weighed az pounds and Hart, a big.' clever fel low, tipped the beam at 204. The crowd was against him, and it got to nia nerves. He beat himself. It was the easiest fight I ever had. If Corbett or Johnson were fighting Dempsey, I would not give Dempsey a chance, but Willard NEVER. The fight may go 12 rounds, but if it does. Jack Dempsey will be the champion. . Muff Bronson Is hitting, the grind harder than ever, and it begins to look as though Spanish Joe Gorman will have more than he can handle when he steps into the ring at Eugene July 4. Neal Zimmerman, who has bad things very much his own way, may well look for a surprise when the gong sends him on his way with Carl Martin at La Grande on the Independence Day, for it must be admitted that the former soldier is there. Not having any bout July 4. Billy Mascott has decided to give his new car a real workout on the holiday and will drive to Eugene with a party of friends and give Muff Bronson and Joe Gorman the once over. Nick Collins, the Boise, Idaho, boxing promoter, has telegraphed Bobby Evans for the services of Al Sommers to meet Harry Gillum at Boise July 3. Evans has countered by asking the promoter his best terms. Johnny Frigate, city amateur light weight champion, will make his first professional appearance July 4 at Marshfield, Or., meeting Patsy White in the semi-final to Charlie Conrad and Jack Wagner. Miss Elizabeth Tucker, who man ages the ring affairs of her brother Frankle, was operated on for appendi citis in Los Angeles last Tuesday. Jack Reddy, the St. Paul boxing pro moter, has closed Bhop for the summer. The last .show Reddy staged brought in 5500. with Billy Miske and Willie Mee han in the headliner. Strangler Lewis is another that picks Jack Dempsey to win from Jess Willard. "They can't come back," is the way Lewis put it in speaking to a San Francisco sport writer. . Jack Thompson, the colored heavy weight who is at present in San Fran cisco, is begging the allied promoters to put him on with Willie Meehan. the roly poly heavyweight who recently re turned from New York. Thompson is some pumpkins with the mitts, and if the promoters succeed in matching the big boys, the colored gentleman Is apt to give Meehan a lot of trouble.

Yet force Is absolutely neces sary, since the club-head must be driv en through to the ball. Here a very small outlay of time and effort will bring gratifying results. And this is equally true of shots from a great varl' ety of hazards and bad lies. They are very rarely practiced, be cause they are unusual and unpleas ant, and one accepts them only as necessary evil. And compared to the other strokes they are of infrequent occurrence, which, of course, gives one that much less experience with them and results in a lower standard of skill in their execution. But how important they are when they do occur and how much we envy the other fellow when he lays the ball dead from a trap. - They are much too important to be slighted even by those who are still wrestling with some of the more com mon strokes. A few hours of good in struction and earnest effort will lessen the dread of hazards and make the round more enjoyable in every way. TENNIS FINALS DUE SUNDAY Playing of A. W.
