' Milling All the Way; To Make It Speedy;
' " ., - i By Frank G. Menke. J
rpOLEDO, Ohib. JuJy 1. (I. N. S.) Any thought that Jess
I . Willard or Jack Dempsey will deviate from usual battling
. x tatties on July Fourth can be dispelled. "
.There is no more chance, of a radical shift in the time honored
warring program of either than there is of snowfall on'that festal
"day.1'
It is no'more possible for the fighters o change style than for
art adult to change his walk. He may attempt it and focus his
mind on doing it differently, but before you can count 100 myth
ical sheep leaping over a fence he'll be back striding along in .his
' old-fashioned way. And so it is with a fighter. ' . , :
; . Dempsey is naturally aggressive; a cyclonic performer who
hurls himself with all the power within him at an opponent with
'-. the first crash of the gong; a man who never stops until the last
'gong has' sounded pr "taps" has been chanted over a prostrate
.Form Willard, through all the years of his fistic career, has been
. . r .'' .1.' ...... i r; . jv ji- - . t r - ... . .
;, a aeiensive -warnon; a man wno
ting the other fellow to bring
done that.
' Dempsey has triumphed by Vush
. ing, and'he feels that is the only
way. Willard has achieved success
- - by standing; off and letting the other
fellow whirl In at him.. Each is con
: 'vinced that his own method is the
: " better. And when men believe that .
' . way they do not change.
' v Dempsey always . has contended
. that his beat defense is a powerful.
speedy and overwhelming attack.
Used against the blgl man. it has
- , never failed. Morris. Smith, Pelkey
all of them went down under the
- rf hurricane of Dempsey's inaugural
' blows. The Utah mauler figures
' ' that such an attack will sweep the
crown off the dome of Jess Willard.
: WJ1X " WAIT FOB RUSHES
-'. "Why should I take the aggres-;
, sive?" countered Willard. when
someone asked him if he planned
- , to make a shift and go out after
: Dempsey Instead of waiUng for
Dempsey to come m. -
"I whipped Johnson by waiting. .
- didn't I ? And I whipped all the
' others by letting them .come at me.
. . , I'll do the same thing with this far
famed sluggen I want him to rush
me. The more he rushes me, the
better I'll like it. I say he can't
hurt me; and the fight will prove it.
But when" I get him. coming In at
: me something Is going to happen to -.
" 'him;- -
- - The quesUon was put to Dempsey. .
, - Til fight the only way I know
V! how," was his answer.
WOST HE AD, HIM OFF
.' "And that way Is to fight my man.
v - I'm not going Into the ring to do any
marathontng or to stand off and
look at dear old Jess." I mean to
drop him In the Quickest time pos
. eible. t The only way I can accom-
' pliah that is to . get -In close and
: paste him with all I've got, and keep
'it on pasUng him until he goes to sleep. ,
','":! He may think he's going to hold me
" Off. So did Fulton, ' so did Morris.
Fulton thought 'he could do it with
his long jabber, but he didn't. And
Morris figured he juld clinch and
rough it with me. He didn't..
: ' "You can bet on it that Willard -,
. woiTfhead me off. They say he's
- '" got a great punch. " If he has, it's
. something rather new. - I've -looked
' through his record and IvdonVsee
any evidence of great punching He
- couldn't flatten Morris, - Moran. : Pelr
key. Smith, McMahon anda whole
v-f lot of others.- It took him half an
; .afternoon to' knock out the all-in
Johnson. In view ot that, I wonder
' , how the champion gets the idea he -;,
can polish tne off. i -
Tou.can bet all you've, got." eon
f. eluded Dempsey, "that about one
second after ; the . first gong rings
I'll begin -operating on Willard, and
,1 won't stop unUl I have removed his
t rusty title."

"William is a good boy, and I want

Champion Will Be

- By H. C. Hamiltoa
Toledo,'-July 1 (U. P.) There la
? not a chance that Jack Dempsey

-"Dempsey . is very', pophlar,. but it
is much. easier to find Willard sym

fact cannot be denied, nor can the
trend of betting eentiment. ' ,
i Willard in Toledo ranges how fron,
10 to 6 favorite to 10 to 8. Indications .
are he will enter the battle for Ma
championship a Pf to 7 favorite over
the Utah challenger. r
Dempsey has gained supporters : In
the last week, largely because of the
fact that he has worked hard, where-t
as, big 'Jess has been content to go
along very easily.
JESS SATS HE'S BEADY

In telling that the champion Is in

The champion has announced him

Thursday there . will be no public
appearances, or at most a very per

He feels that he Is ready to fight

are he will do what work he does
Thursday In private.
Willard is fit. That is the an
nouncement of Dr. Joseph Sweeney,
official physician for the Toledo box

day.' -
"From examination of heart, lungs,

By Freak c Menke,
Toledo, Ohio. July 1. (I. N. &)
Jack Dempsey made his last public ap
pearance as a training camp battler
Monday afternoon. A final swirl with
Jack Malone . and i his dusky sparring
partners, then Dempsey dof fa the gloves
until time to hurl five ounces at Jess
Willard.
"From now oh it's only light work for
Dempsey,". declared Jimmy De Forest,
his trainer. "He is more superbly' con
ditioned right now ' than any heavy
weight challenger in ring history." , .
JESS TO WORK , .-
But it's different with "willard. Jess
is going to do a lot more boxing before
the Fourth dawns, unless that wounded
optic, a Sunday gift from Walter Mon
ahan, balks his program. . The Injury
to the skirt above Willard's eye is
slight, but Just the -same, he Is mighty
anxious to have it heal perfectly before
battle day, even at the sacrifice of fur
ther etrenuous conditioning. An un
healed gash over the evey might be a
greater menace than a few extra pounds
of fat, for a slight, pop will start the
blood trickling Into' the eye.
- Meanwhile the: crowd is beginning to
gather here. The bulk of newcomers are
browsing around in search of wagers.
Most of them .want to plunge on Demp
sey and gladly offer even money. But
there Is not - any Willard backing loom
ing along the horizon. The very , fact
that the light-hitting Monahan waa able
to break the skin over Willard's eye
yesterday . with a 10-ounce glove and
follow it with a lip cutter when ' Jess
went out to annihilate him, has damp
ened a -little more of the early Willard
enthusiasm. And Willard's exhibition
following the blow was further dis
heartening. HADE HIM WILD .
As soon as Jess found that Monahan
had cut his eye, and he realised what
that abrasion, slight though it is. meant
so near to, fight time, the big giant
went out to polish off Monahan. When
Walter ' grasped the -fact he began to
fight back to save himself and ft is an
absolute fact that Monahan made the
lunging Willard look like little more
than a novice. - Willard hurled his
mightiest blows at Monahan, but they
never landed.-The smaller man . scam
pered all around and, made him miss
like a bush leaguer.
- Never did Willard look . worse as a
puncher than in those IVt rounds when
he1 waa out' to "pot" Monahan. He
swung with everything he had and all
his swings went .far wide of the mark.
LEFT OPENINGS v ' ; '
And every time he swung he pulled
off balance and left openings for his
body: and : Jaw. Sometimes Monahan
would - pound him "there of tener he
would not Walter wasn't out to punish
Jess, he merely Wanted to save himself,
and he did that
"If Dempsey had been In there in
stead of Monhan. Jess would have been
knocked 'out a dozen times," was the
consensus1 of opinion.

the Beavers won six and lost eight
games, which is the best record they
have made abroad thin mnnnn
The need of two additional hurlers
consistent ones is becoming more urgent
each day. ;
McCredie picked up Reppyj "a young
ster who was given a tryout with Oak
land last week, and he hurled a pretty
fair game against the Vernon Tigers
Sunday. Jack Kiltllay Will also come
home , with the locals and . If Elmers'
Reiger, Jack Gilligan and a! few other
old timers get by, the former Spokane
hurier should also win a few games.
Rader's sore wrist ia still giving him
a little trouble, but there Is little likeli
hood of his being placed on the bench, in
the series, with the Angels.
"Red" KUlifer, th Angel leader, has
a strong aggregation of players this
season. In the outfield he haa Sam
Crawford and "Rube" Ellis.- two veterans
of slugging ability. The infield positions
are guarded by Jack Fournier. . Ken
worthy, Fabrique j and Niehoff. . who
were .released by Seattle, and Ray Bates,
former Portland thijrd baseman. '
In Boles and Bassler. the Angels have
a strong catching department The
pitching staff Includes Aldrldge, former
Cub; Otis Crandall. "Lefty" . Brown,
"Babe" Pertica and Paul Flttery.
The ; spurt made by, the Seattle club
during the past three weeks has been
the talk of the league fans. Clymers
men made Vernon fight hard during
their last aeries and they copped the
series from Oakland by taking six out
of seven games. .
The Seattle Chamhef of Commerce has
completed plans toglve the Rainlers a
rousing receptiQjripon their return home
Wednesday. An effort is being made to
have a' record attendance at the opening
game of the series. - .i-v
