that automobiles are being used to con

The fart that the Kansas crop did not

EY'HARRY M. GRAYSON.
TOLEDO. O.. July 1. (Special.) This
town will become the hub of the pu
gilistic universe tomorrow and the two
days following. It will draw like a
magnet fans from the four winds of
America. Although the consensus of
opinion here is that the huge arena,
which will seat 80,000 persons, will not
be sold out, the fight already is cer
tain to draw the biggest crowd that
ever greeted a pair of knights of the

represents the advance payment on the
7 per cent of the gross receipts promised
for charity.
Wlllard'a Condition Improves.
Dr. Joseph K. Sweeney, official phy
sician of the Toledo boxing commis
sion, who gave the champion the east
and west both before ard after his
workout yesterday, issued the follow
ing statement today:
From examination of heart, lungs.
muscle tone and reserve power, Wil
lard is in such wonderful condition that
he will ti able to go the full 12 rounds
at whirtWer speed Jack Dempsey sets."
My personal opinion is that the doc
tor is full of prunes. Willard is round
ing Into shape all right. I mean his
stomach is still nice and round and
plump. At that the Kansas Kowboy
looked better today than at any other
stage of his training. Although to
day's workout must still be classed as
pepless with the champion assuming
an I don t care style, he did actually
muss up his two punching bags. Jack
Hemple and Walter Monahan.
Champion Rushes Sparrer,
As usual the big Kansan boxed a
round prior to taking on Hemple, an
ex-marine, for three cantos. In the
first minute of the opening stanza, Wil- '
lard rushed Hemple against the ropes
nd while hugging him like a big bear,
the rope which attaches the hempen
square to one of the posts gave away, '
nd both fighters came close to execut
ing a Steve Brodie with the prospects
fine for lighting on their craniums out
side. But the man mountain caught
himself in time and gently lifted Hem
ple to safety while some 3000 howling
fans and fanettes applauded and seemed
glad that the opportunity had been giv
en them to see the fun. In the third
round the champion had Hemple falter
ing and all- but out, and the final bell
was sweet as the songs of Sappho to
the ears of Hemple, who is a very or
dinary 185-pound mauler.
Walter Monaghan Outdone,
Walter Monaghan, who has been play
ing tag at Willard's circus for the past
three years, came next. He hit the
champion a couple of punches in the
opening round which made the big fel
low look serious, but before the three
round session was concluded got a good
licking for his pains, although before
it ended the big Kansan was but toying
with his hireling.
After Monaghan did his turn Jess
shadowboxed some more and tossed the
medicine ball around for a spell and
called it quits. He will wind up his
training tomorrow. After beating Hem
ple the champion, just before rinsing
out his mouth, yelled to the crowd:
"This is the drink now-a-days, boys."
Big Jess is in excellent spirits. My
personal opinion is that he is regarding
Dempsey very lightly. "I've passed
