' Toledo, May 27. Blistering rays
of the sun beat down fiercely on
Jack Dempsey's training camp today
and caused his handlers to again
send him through his paces during
the cool hours of the morning.
Trainer D.eForest .sent Dempsey
through his -first-vigorous workout.
The challenger boxed she rounds,
four furious sessions with Bill Tate,
and two with Terry Keller, a light
heavyweight. Keller boxed the sec
ond and fifth round to give Tate a
rest. Dempsey was on top of Tate
from the start and the giant negro
received a punching that he didVt
anticipate. One right hand upper
cut nearly lifted him off his feet.
Jack Kearns, manager of Demp
sey, plans to gradually switch his
protege's hours of working &o that
he will become hardened to the heat
of midday. Kearns ' realizes that
when Dempsey and Wiltard get
into the ring July 4 the day may be
burning hot and that Dempsey will
be obliged to stand up under the
heat.
A., N. and C. Board Answers.
The army, navy and civilian board
of boxing control, numbering among
its members several governors,
army and naval officers and repre
sentative citizens, toTlay answered
the protest of the Federated
Churches of Ohio against the match.
The letter was addressed to Edward
R. Wright, secretary of the organ
ization, at Cleveland. -
The government made boxing an
integral part of the training of sol:
diers tor war, which resulted in a
great revival of the sport," the let
ter reads in part. "For every single
person opposed to boxing in Ohio,
and in all parts of America, we are
convinced that there are a thousand
devoted followers of the sport to
whom the proposed match will be
a source of innocent and pteasurable
entertainment and we cannot see
any reason why it should be denied
them any more than we could see
the justice of interfering with any
of the religious entertainments
which you frequently organize in
conjunction with your church.
Half Century Behind Times.
"If you will pardon our saying
so, your opposition is a half cen
tury behind the times. We consider
that those who are opposing this
match are incurring grave respons
ibility, as such 6pposition can only
react to the detriment of religion
in the minds of millions of men who
can see no harm in two exponents
of the highest skill in a given sport,
engaging in a contest for supremacy.
We have read the rules of the To
ledo Boxing commission governing
public contests in that city, and we
have no hesitation in saying that
they are a model of what such rules
should be."
The letter was signed by Adam
Empie, secretary of the board of
boxing control, and its publication
was authorized tonight. Tex Rick
ard, promoter of the Willard-Demp-sey
match, received a copy of the
letter and turned it over to news
paper correspondents. Maj.-Gen.
Leonard Wood, commander of the
central department'of the army, is
one of the officials of the board.
Bill to Stop Fight Fails.
Columbus, O., May 27. WBat is
considered a test vote in the Ohio
house of representatives today indi
cates that the bill introduced yes
terday to give Governor Cox au
thority to stop the Willard-Demp-sey
match at Toledo July 4, will
fail to pass as an emergency meas
ure. It must be passed as such, else
will not become, effective for 90
days, or too late to hinder plans for
the match.
The test came when efforts were
made to call the measure up out
of its order for immediate passage.
With a three-fourths vote, necessary,
60 voted for and 48 against the mo
tion to take it up. It consequently
did not come up. i

The Armours, successors to the
Brandeis club in semi-professional
circles, will play in Rourke park
this season while the Omaha club
is on the road and will endeavor to
show the fans some good base ball.
The club is a reorganization of
the old Armour club of amateur
fame, which has delighted so many
fans in the past eight years and
possesses all the elements of fight
and pepper of the old organization,
and with the new blood fused into
it, has been made into a formidable
aggregation.
The club is to be managed by
Otto Williams, a player of national
reputation, who played with the
Chicago .Cubs in . Frank . Chance.'s

Protests; Holmes Team
in Class A.
Directors of the Municipal Ama
teur Base Ball association held their
first .meeting for the 1919 season last
night at the office of Park Commis
sioner Falconer and adopted the
constitution and by-laws for the sea
son, settled several protests and
numerous other affairs.
The protested game between the
Ramblers and the World-Herald
team of May 18, in which the latter
team was victorious by a. 7 to 5
score, but which was protested by
the Ramblers on the grounds of
Player Calvert not being under con
tract to the newspaper boys, and
was awarded to the Ramblers at a
meeting held by the managers of
the Booster league, was ordered re
played. - -
In the American league the game
between the 'Paxton-Vierlings-J. B.
Roots, in which- the iron workers
claim a forfeit "game because the
Roots failed to appear for the game
on account of the weather condi
tions, was "ordered played by the
directors. Tnis game was scheduled
at Miller park, April 27, and Man
ager Luebbe of the Paxton-Vierlings
stated that his players were on the
field ready to play. The league, at
their meeting, decided that the game
be played instead of a forfeit and
the Paxton's appealed from the
league's decision.
Pitcher Jimmy Moore, who signed
several contracts with the various
class B teams, and also with the
Ernie Holmes team of the Greater
Omaha league, was barred from
playing class B base ball, but was
allowed to play with Holmes.
Saturday Players Barred.
It was also decided that any
player who is a Viember of any
Saturday team in the association will
not be allowed to play with any
Sunday teams.
At the meeting of the Church
league at the office of President N. J.
Weston at the Y. M. C, A. a ruling
was passed without a dissenting vote
barring any player who Is a member
of any. Sunday team.
Although this bit of legislation
will weaken the league as a whole
it will have a tendency to make the
race 'much closer. The teams hit
the hardest by this ruling arc lead
ing the. league and having an easy
time with their opponents.
The Pearl Memorials will lose
three men and the Grace M. E.'s
of South Side will at least lose
seven. The only team in the league
not being affected by this ruling is
the First M. E. Wops, who, so far,
have not won a game.
Holmes Enters Class A
Ernie Holmes, baeker of the
Holmes White Sox, announced last
night that his team has entered the
Greater Omaha league, the crack
class A Sunday aggregation, and will
open the league season Sunday
afternoon , at Thirty-second and
Dewey avenue by clashing with the
Brandeis tea,m. The fans will have
the opportunity for the first time
this season to see either the Holmes
or the Brandeis team clash and a
rattling good game is looked for, as
both teams are composed of crack
players. Marty O'Toole, former
twirler for Pa Rourke's Omaha
Western league team, will be on the
mound for the Brandeis, while
Jimmy Moore, the crack local sand
lotter, will heave them over the rub
ber for the White Sox.

There is nothing certain about
