( Continued on page ail) St: WIIAT THE PEINCirALS THOUGHT f By Jess Willnrd: My duties are plain today. 1 Liu to hit Jack Dempsey, stop him and keep tho heavyweight championship where it belongs. I believe I can do thul thing. My condition is far bettel than I ever thought it would be, and I believe even at the slnrl' that I was going to be in shape. I'm nil ready for Mr. Dempsey and am set to truvel any kind of a journey he outlines in the ring. I can 't tell how long the show will last, but I don't think I will be there all day. By Jack Demsey: Kight now I'm waiting for 3:30, for I have every confi dence in tho world that this Is tho beginning of the end of the Jess WLllurd championship reign. Tonight I hope to b cliumpipn, and I think I will be. I realise I have no simple task in defeating my huge opponent, but you know they say the big ger they ra the harder they full. Ami I think Mr. Jess is going to givo the floor a solid thuiap. I am ready to start eail and keep hot footing it to the finish. By Keferee Ollie PocorJi My work todny ia tiiu title fight is plain. The rules of the Toledo Boxing commission are not complicated and arc thor oughly understood by both Will and Dempsey. Kach nun t.unt only fair treatment. And want ing it, they must get it. There shouldn't be Ihe slightest tjues tioa of honest boxing. Willard oud Dempsey are in the. front rank of the heavyweight, divis ion and to hold their proi.ss:on ai:d the championship contest on a high level, must be genlleiiien iu the rl.itf.

By 9 o'clock, the general enthusiasm in the down town district was on. The streets were jammed and crowded by thousands, who aecepted the invitation to come to Halera and enjoy a real live glorious Fourth. With tho gathering of the Cherrians at Ihe Commercial club, affairs first began to take on an official appear ance, for this boosting Salem organize-1 tion, besides ibeing assigned the honor) of escorting the Goddess of Liberty aml her dozen or more of beauties, were also assigned the very important duty of escorting the baby -parade at 10 o'clock around Willson park.

Everywhere along the line of march the .Salem float with its bevy of beau tiful maidens was enthusiastically ac claimed and the Goddess and her maids of honor and the other lovely maidens were kept busy acknowledging with gracious smiles the joyous reception tendered thcin. But the most Impressive feature was that of the two battalions in full mil itary uniform followed by the sol diers, jailors and marines who had been in the service. Round after round of appiause greet- ed these young defenders of America as they marched with military precis ion and with an assurance that indi cated to the bv stanier that the Amer ican soldier felt right down in his heart that he could lick anything on earth when it come to a show down.
