STRENUOUS WORK

' Many Afraid Jess Will Travel
. Dempsey in Wonderful
By H. C. Hamilton

rpOLUDO, Ohm, July 3 (U. P.) Almost over with their
- strenuous training in preparation' for the big fight, the pugil
its on whom the eyes of the sporting' world arc centered
marked, time today.. : j .
Time of starting the !oitt.s was changed today, when Ad
Thachcr, 'president of the Toledo Athletic"club, announced that
two preliminaries would be dispensed with.. - k
. . .This will set the first bout at noon, -i f ; -,
Hchind the screen doors of the Overland club Jack Dempsey,
challenger of Jess Willard, the, world's heavy weight champion, sat
cheerfully optimistic. His 315 pouritl rival lolled about the sun
porch of ajiouse ui the best residential district of Toledo.
Derapsey's em!l vru to beam all
v over the Overland club today. He
h ad planned nothing. He Is merely
waiting for the. tap of the gong that
-will send him Into the greatest vic-
tory. ever scored. in. pugilism or Into
. a defeat of bitter memories.
WOULD HHATTJER RECORD
Willard will--tyke a motor ride.
The huge champion never has liked
I the plaudits, of the ' multitude - and
.the obscession is growing: upon him.
He wanta solitude and sets it with
the hum of a gasoline motor under
his feet. No one will be allowed to
: disturb either gladiator.
'. Defeat to Dempsey means a shat
tering of . that ' glorious record , of
knockouts with which he has lighted
his climb to the glare of the spot
'light. It means a new start. Per
haps a championship later, but a
crushed spirit for a time. To Wll-
lard it means that he can retire from
the hateful gaze of admiring and
curious fight fans. But it also means
to Willard that the flash of the dollar-will
not be so near.
To each it means a lot. This
..means that there will be a fight of
V gritted teeth a battle that, Achilles
and-Hector might have envy for.
The weeks of preparation for the
struggle have ended. Long days of
' gruelling preparations, hours in the
sun, 'minutes with sparring partners
'- flinging dangerous punches, tiresome
Interviews with curious and inquisi
tive folk, bundles of mall from busy
bodies and critics, have come to an
end. i-'' ' .!' . . .
BETTING MORE ACTIVE
Today was a day of peace in the
i camps of the heavyweights. .
. Tomorrow they will start a ' 12-
v round battle for the world's cham
pionship in a mammoth arena built
; for them by Tex Rlckard, the. most
f daring promoter the world has -ever
seen. -,..-' - - ' -
Down town in Toledo betting be
came "more active after a period of'
1 laxness that' -became a deadlock
i when - each side asked concessions
: from the other. : ;l
' History never has recorded a fls
tic contest of greater mystery than
- the one about to be fought. People
have worried and wondered about
the condition of the champion unUl
. they don't know what conclusion to
reach. It is because of his age.
They are afraid because of what
happened to James Jeffries after
bis Jong retirement from the .ring,
and because of what Willard him
self did to Jack Johnson after the
big negro's years of dissipation fol
lowing his defeat of .Jeffries.
Dempsey is a fawjrite with the
j dopesters and the wise money is
being laid on him, but every stranger

Multnomah Track ;
Returns With
High; Coast Honors
; . - . ' 5 . , : ,
Ten members of the victorious Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club track and
field team returned to Portland Wednes
day,' after having won the ; annual
Pacific coast 'track and field champion
ships in the Tacoma stadium, Tuesday
afternoon. ' Those who returned were.
Vere WIndnagle, .Floyd Mose" Payne,
Captain ' Samuel. Bellah, Arthur Tuck,
Millard Webster, Johnny Murphy, Ralph
Thayer, Maurice Snook, Scanlon Collins
and Rev. Ralph Spearow. 1 Mrs.' Spearow
accompanied her husband and watched
him break the Pacific coast pole vault
ing record.' -; '-.' - Ji: -r y.
: When 'the summary ot' the meet was
received 'in Portland, the big surprise
was to . find that Wallace Kadderly, a
point getter in the quarter mile in al
most any meet, did not appear in the 440
yard dash. For some reason or other
he was unable to leave in time to take
part.- - . .- -'-, .....
The work of Arthur. Tuck the high
school boy. was such as to give the
youngster nothing but praise from the
other members of the Portland squad.
Tuck won the Javelin with a toss of
181 feet, and his- nearest competitor was
more than IS feet, in the rear. Tuck
made his long shot on his fifth try.
The mile run was one of the closest
races of the afternoon, with Vere Wind
nagle winning, and he won first in the
half mile as well. Coleman, - the Mult
nomah miler, is in California, and with
the loss of Coleman and Kadderly the
winged "M" institution was deprived of
more than 10 points, according to those
who had been figuring on the result.
Scanlon Collins was beaten in the quar
ter mile dash by inches and, despite his
defeat by Wilson of Los Angeles, he
ran a heady race.
The condition of the track was not
exactly what it could have been, declare
the Oregonians, and it was too hard to
permit any records being made in the
long distances. "Mose" Payne took the
lead in the five mile run and kept it
throughout, but making no effort to
break any records because of the dif
ficulty in running; '

DEMPSEY
DECLARED

Dr. Roller Says Aspirant Will
Clinch Title With Knockout -At
Toledo Fight
New York. July 3. (I. X. S.) Jack
Dempsey will win the world's heavy
weight championship July 4. according
to Dr. B. V" Roller, former American
heavyweight fchampjon wrestler, who
has lust retired. .
"I believe Dempsey ' will win by a
knockout." , said the grappier. "1 don't
think Willard can last 12 rounds, rve
eeu a lot of them come and 'go and I
know what age does to a man. . I under
stand -Willard is about 40 . years old.
That's too oldj"
vToledoV Ohio. July 3. (tt. p. Spccu-,
lators went through a ' nervous market
here Wednesday. ' .'
Announcement ,by Tex Rlckard to the
United Press that there were plenty of
tickets for the ? Willard-Dempsey bout
to be heldin 'Toledo frightened the
speculators, and they made numerous
efforts" to resell their- admission paste
boards back to the prompters. Not a
one was accepted.
Nervousness increased throughout the
morning and the dealers finally opened
offices in a downtown building and. be
gan to sen the tickets through syste
matic advertising. It is not improbable
that -the greatest disaster- In; ticket
speculation -history is about to be staged
in Toledo. ;j
Indications are 'that every ticket in
the. best sections of the huge Rlckard
arena will be sold, but so many were
bought by speculators that they prob
ably will have to sell at a sacrifice.
" Tex Richard has spiked a yarn that
has been circulated regarding the num
ber of seats now on sale. T
"Someone has spread the report that
we are running out of seats," said the
promoter." "This is wrong. . We have
sent several thousands to various cities
for sale there and we have many thous
ands left. No -one need have any ' fear
that he will be unable to buy tickets."
The promoter also announced
that 23.000 rooms have been listed with
the Toledo -Athletic, club and the pro
moters of the match. Addresses, tele
phone numbers and transportation direc
tions are available for strangers.
Dr. Joseph J. Sweeney, official physi
cian for the Toledo Athletic club, ex
amined ' Jack ' Dempsey. and de
clared the condition of the challenger
to be even-better than that of Willard.
I . don't mean by this that Willard
is not in excellent condition. On the
contrary, he was the best conditioned
man I had ever seen until I tested the
man he will meet Friday afternoon.
"Dempsey's chest muscles are the fin
est I ever saw. The power in them I
can. only guess at.
"The Dempsey muscles are the snappy
kind, There is nothing binding in them.
"Dempsey ' has had tonsilitis at some
time in his career. That is the only
flaw in his .circulatory system. His
heart is sound as a bell. Every beat
Is perfect. His lungs are positively
great."

Opinions of Results Divided
; .' - --.K. fe'By 'tTaifV;-?.V-','.:'' .
TDLEDO. Ohio, July 3. N. L
S.) The editor has asked me to
pick a winner in the big fight and
tell the customers why I picked '
him. : , .- . .
. Well. I'll write an though I were
writing to my betting commissioner.
Jioe Smolleii. Here ' goes:
Dear Joe Put the old bank roll
nn Dempsey. We may be wrong,
bot the dope points the other way.
No heavyweight champion that ever
, lived .was a fighter after he passed-
the 31 -year-old mark.
Sullivan - was '34 when , he lost to
Corhett and Corbett ; was 31 when
he lost to Fitzshnmohs. We don't
know what Fits' age wan, but he was
quite an old bird vrhen he lost to
Jleff rieu. . .-: , .V. a .- :.- ,
' At Reno they dragged Jeff "back
and at the age of 35 he tried to lick'
Johnson. . He lost. Mr. Johnson
toured the world and at the age of
t 37 he tried to beat Willard.
How are you. going to beat Old
Father Time? A fighter has his
' lim to live . the same as a fair
horse or a hock c heck just so far
to go. . Willard. if . he wins, will
break all records. He may win. He
it in good shape. He is. a home guy J
and has taken good care of himself.
CAST WAIT FOB BELL
1 Dempsey is young, though. He is
ftill of speed. He wants- to 1 be a
champion. He was never .in better '
shape. He is a bull dog. He just
loves to have the gloves on. He
can't Wait for - that bell to ring
- right now. He will weigh around 200
pounds when he geta into the ring '
' and can hit harder than Jeffries, '
Fitzsimmons or ' any of those old -1
birds. Don't worry about the sock
ing thing. Here is a fellow who
CAN hit.
Out at his camp they don't ex
pect him to win in one round, or
two. He may win in that time, but
the wise guys are ' betting for a
longer bout. They think that Jack
will look the big fellow over for a
round or two and then start.
FIGURES JACK IK SIX ROU3TDS
He isn't daffy. He won't tear in ,
from the tap of the gong. He never ,
saw Willard 1:. his life and has to .
give him the up and . down. ,
Can Willard. who is 37 years old?
beat Dempsey, a. young fellow of 24? :
It sounds unreasonable. Of course,
Willard is confident. All champions
are. He cant see Dempsey at all.
He can't understand why people bet
on Dempsey.
I like' Dempsey and figure him to
win in six rounds.
' Willard has never met a fighter
who carried the fight to him as this
fellow will. 4
If Gunboat Smith could beat him,
why can't Dempsey? I think he can.

night. He bumped into everybody

JAWS O'BRIEN SPEAKS
Philadelphia Jack . O'Brien 'speak-s
Ins J - . -
-1 tried to fight when I was 34
. and. believe me, it waa the toughest
fight I ever had. I was great for
three rounds but, take it f rorn me.,
"when that guy . kept on coming I:
was. sick, I had an awful time stay
ing. the six rounds. Sailor Kock was
the guy. He beat me . and he- de-
Berved it. That was my last fight.'
If jWUiard, at 37, can still fight,
he ! Is. the champion - of the world.
Dempsey has youth,- and, believe me,
youth is the thing. , When you have
a fellow lt tearing at you, '. there's
nothing to do but sit-down.. The
young fellow always . beats the old
man. Willard wont be able to hold
hia hands up after five refunds." ' :
Thus spoke Jawn O'Brien. .
' .j - . . .
OTHERS WERE SET'UPS
Bill Gibson Is a' Dempsey guy,too.
He figures on six rounds. Bill can't
; see : an old fellow at U1. He fig- t
. urea that the bull calf can lick the
old bull any time they start Ben
ny Leonard thinks the same aa his
manager does, and figures on five
rounds. ... . - --': -
" Remember "Rough House" Burns?
Kind of old now. He's also for
Dempsey. Can't see Willard with a
telescope,
'
Even money prevails here. There's
a- lot of - talk about Willard being
favorite- but they won't bet that way;
Dempsey boosters have aa . much
dough as there is; to be covered and
Upkeeps the odds at evens.
" : . . . .
' Bat Masterson says that Demp
sey hasnt had a square fight in a
. year. He thinks that his bouts have
all been set-ups. This fight, he
thinks, is a real test.- Dempsey, ac
cording to Bat, will go about three
rounds. . -
1 ' .
Bat Levinsky can't -see anyone but
Dempsey. - . , j
f'Say." said Bat, "did anyone ever
push this guy Dempsey back yet?
I jnever heard of anyone who did.
He's a tough bird. He keeps com
ing, and he keeps coming : all the
time. Tou cant keep 1 him away.
Willard never saw a fellow like him.
When a guy keeps coming at you
round after round, I'll tell you
that you feel like wishing you were
home.' : - '..--'--
