First Real Punch Will
Decide Championship Go,
Thinks Kid Graves of Bee
Challenger and Champion Wind Up Work for July 4
Fistic Struggle; Willard Shows Old Time Pep and
Snap in Final Workouts; Dempsey Drawn Fine as
a Fiddle String.
By KID GRAVES.
Former Welterweight Champion.
Sporting Editor of The Bee.
Toledo, Ohio, July 2. (Special
Telegram.) Both challenger and
champion wpund up their work to
day, for the Titanic struggle in the
Bayview park arena Friday. Jess
Willard boxed six rounds, three each
with Hemple and Monoghan, exhib
iting all kinds of pep and snap. He
looked better today than he has dur
ing all his training stage and gave
his supporters cause to gloat over
his superb condition. The only man
that did not seen? to be impressed
with the champion's wonderful con
dition was Battling Nelson, who
cannot see anybody in the big mill
but Dempsey. The six rounds of
boxing, three rounds of shadow
work and ten minutes of stomach
exercise was all the work that Wil
lard did. He will rest tomorrow,
doing nothing but take a walk to
keep his muscles supple.
The challenger's workout was al
most, if not quite, as impressive as
the title holder's. He shadow boxed,
punched the bag and slammed the
sand bag in great style. He looks
ready for a real battle right now.
In fact his condition is such, that
should he do anything at all to
morrow, he would go stale. It is
feared that he is drawn a little too
fine at this time and Trainer Jimmy
DeForest is watching him closely to
see that he' does not overdo the work
at thfs late date.
Official Timekeeper Arrives.
The official timekeeper, J. War
ren Barbour, of Philadelphia, arrived
this morning with a specially made
stop watch in his pocket. He ex
hibited it proudly upon his arrival
and refused Matt Hinkle's offer of
$1,000 for it after the bout. The
betting still remains at evens, but
the champion's great work in the
last few days is swaying things his
way slightly. He shows greater
cleverness every time he puts the
gloves on, and it is claimed by his
adherents that Dempsey will never
break through his barrier-like de
fense. Jess is certainly boxing in
approved style and placing his blows
with great precision.
Considering Willard's wonderful

SEVERAL FIRSTS

Continue to Take Honors in
the Big Inter-Allied
Games at Pershing
Stadium.
Pershing Stadium, France, July 2.
(By the Associated Press.) Earl
Eby and M. P. Spink, both of Chi
cago, finished first and second in the
400-meter dash in the inter-allied
games here today. Wilton of New
Zealand was third, the time being
50 seconds flat. William Taylor
and James Humphries, two other
Americans, finished the same way in
the broad jump. Moreaux of France
won third place. The winning jump
was 3.14 meters.
In the finale of the 200-meter
hurdles, won by Robert I. Simpson,
the world's record would undoubted
ly have been broken except for the
fact that the third hurdle was mis
placed, throwing the runners off their
stride. Simpson, with William E.
Sylvester and Meredith House, who
finished second and third, respec
tively, led from the start and fin

boxing form and the speed he ex
hibits when he wants to, I am forced
to conclude that he will be the win
ner. While this is my personal be
lief, it might not be well for those
laying wagers to accept my judg
ment rather than their own, for it
looks like another Ketchell-Papke
affair. The man that lands the fir'st
good blow is the man that will win
this fight. The first solid punch
will decide this battle, whether it
is a knockout in itself or not. Both
champion and challenger are prob
ably the greatest hitters that ever
met for a title, and it is a cer
tainty that when one lands a solid
blow, the other will Show the effects
of it. Consequently, the choice of
Willard to win, being the cleverer
boxer of the two and so precise in
placing his punches, I lean to the
idea that he will land the first hard
blow and I figure the man that lands
the first hard blow will win.
First Bout to Start at 10.
The first bout is scheduled to

FANS FLOCKING
TO TOLEDO BY ALL
MEANSOFTRAVEL
Hotel Lobbies Seething Mass
of People; Principals Have
Completed Their
Training. ,
Toledo, July 2. Sweeping down
upon this city, situated on the shores
of Lake Erie, by every means of
modern transportation, thousands of
boxing enthusiasts are tonight seek
ing places to lay their heads during
the forty-odd hours that intervene
before Jess Willard and Jack Demp
sey enter the ring. Long lines of
railroad trains, strings of steam
boats, endless chains of automobiles
and even an occasional airplane, are
depositing their burdens of human
freight.
Every arm for the carrying of the
visitors is being tested to the limit
and it appears certain that tomor
row night sleefTrnff accommodations
will not be available at any price.
It was stated tonight everyone of
the 25.000 hotel cots and beds had
been reserved, while the overflow
was being shunted into private room
ing places and huge vacant stores
and office buildings filled with cots.
On the outskirts and in the parks
along the lake fronts, tents are be
ing erected.
Hotels Jammed.
The gathering of the vanguard
began to make its presence felt
early today. At twilight, it was al
most impossible to move about the
corridors of the leading hotels ex
cept at a slow wiggling, dodging
gait and the novice rubbed shoulders
with sport celebrities from all parts
of the continent. It is estimated
that between fifty and seventy
thousand visitors will surge into
Toledo during the final twenty-four
hours.
Both boxers completed their train
ing today and tomorrow will be a
day of relaxation. Dempsey did
only three minutes of shadow box
ing. Exceptional Athlete.
After this light workout Dempsey
was examined by the official physi
cian of the local boxing board, who
pronounced Dempsey an exceptional
athlete in every respect and ready
to engage in the hardest kind of a
contest without danger of more than
the usual temporary exhaustion, fol
lowing violent exertion.
Willard went three three-minute
rounds with both Jack Hempel and
Walter Monahan and wound up
with an additional three-minute ses
sion of fast shadow boxing. While
he wore" the customary 16-ounce
gloves, he shook both sparring part
ners several times with powerful
blows. In return Monahan reopened
the cut on he champion's lip, bring
ing a slight flow of blood. Before
entering the ring Willard said that
he weighed 243 pounds, and
Dempsey gave his weight as 196
pounds.
At the close of the training the
camp attendants began to disman
tle the canvass enclosures and the
temporary ring surrounding it.
It was announced more than 51,
000 had paid to see the champion
training and that the gross receipts
were close to $15,000.

Former Site of City Mission
Is Purchased for Trackage
The former site of the City Mis
sion, at Tenth and Dodge streets,
has been purchased by Olive Burke,
and it is understood that the loca
tion will be used by a local firm for
yards and trackage.
The mission was established in
1876 by Mrs. Mary A. Jardine, Mrs.
S. H. Clark, Mrs. John Tilden, Mrs.
P. L. Perine, Mrs. Thomas H. Cc
Cague and Dr. C. C. Monnell. The
last use of the place was under the
auspices of Ephraim Society of the
Beautitudes, with Rev. Randall
Leak, colored, in charge.

Nobody seems to want Sam Langford for a sparring partner. Too

Looks like Dempsey will play a waiting game. He will wait until
the fight starts and then he will wait until Jess gets back on his feet.
What the Germans probably realize is that the coroner's certificate
is also only a scrap of paper.

Jack dusted Willard off with a left to the horn followed by a bouquet
of knuckles to the lapels. Then he scattered eight right swings to Jess'
eyepiece and threw six left hooks among him. Each wallop went over
so fast that it sounded like the dishwashiug machine in Child's Atlantic
City restaurant. Jess was crawling around like a wet roach, with Jack
pecking at him like a woodpecker with two beaks. The champion's knees
folded up like a "Chinese fan. His head was wobbling from side to side
like a giraffe with a rubber neck. He sank like the German fleet at Scapa
Flow, with his chin fluttering at half mast. As his chin came down.
Dempsey flattened him with a right that stretched outthe champ like a
whale trying to swim on a boardwalk. TJe fight lasted exactly twenty
seconds, ten of which Willard will never know anything about until he
reads the papers. Cong.
Or This.
As Dempsey came hopping in, Jess stuck out his left oar and wrinkled
him up with a jab. Then he ironed him out again with a right meathook
that looked like a bale of cotton with knuckles. Jack spun around like
the indicator on a leaky gas meter, with his eyes looking like the frost
ing on angel cake. He was cutting out paper dolls when the referee
chirped the word that still leaves Willard champion of the world and
all its oil wells. Gong.
Clemenceau chirped that he had

Moran Says Willard Is in
Perfect Trim for Big Mill
By FRANK MORAN.
Toledo, O., July 2. After Wil
lard's work is finished today, bar
ring accidents, he will be in perfect
trim to my way of thinking, despite
the statement of many who claim
his age rivals that of Methusela.
Considering his ring absence, there
are many who don't probably know
that in his work with the circus he
was called upon to box at least eight
rounds every day excepting bunday.
Also that nearly two years of his
absence from the ring found him in
his own ring, in his own circus and
boxing every day. Considering this,
I am inclined to believe that Willard
has had plenty of boxing since his
bout with the writer in Madison
Square Garden some three years
ago.
tThe fact that Dempsey finished
his training yesterday and has a
Commerce High Coach
Makes Plans to Play
Twilight Base Ball
Coach Drummond is making plans
for twilight base ball games for the
High School of Commerce.
The team being organized will not
take the place of the regular 1920
team, as only two veterans are back,
Frank Mahoney, captain of the 1919
squad, and Frank Rokusek. At a
meeting of the players yesterday
morning Mahoney was appointed
temporary captain of the Sophomore
team and Rokusek captain of the
junior team.
The winners of the class league
will be presented with a silver shield.
It is probable that the winner will
play amateur teams outside of the
city. About SO men have signed up
for the twilight games-

three days' layoff leads me to think
it would have been better had his
work been regulated, so that he
last day of boxing would be today,
as all a man should need is two days'
layoff, as this would tend to have
him enter the ring with all his box
ing muscles in trim and any longer
time will in a sense make him
slower.
The fact that the supreme test is
at hand evidently has not escaped
Willard, for today in his workout he
showed a tenseness and qui vive that
was noticeable by its absence in his
previous workouts, proving that con
dition has arrived and the little wor
ries and fears and resolves that will
go skipping through the men's
minds during the days and nights
before the two men meet to decide
the most interesting and spectacular
ring contest in modern history. .
Sand Beach Bathing Resort
to Open at Lakeview July 4
Lakeview park inaugurates a new
sand beach bathing resort on the
west shore of Carter Lake, July 4,
making artother attraction to the
numerous ones already running at
the park. The beach is several hun
dred feet long, with a sand bottom
and a special section for the chil
dren. The bathing facilities include a
bathhouse with individual lockers
for all bathers, a complete number
of suits and equipment to care for
a big crowd. Life guards will be
on hand at all times, though, the
beach is a gradual slant toward
deeper water, with no sudden drops.
The sand bottom has been greatly
improved by the addition of several
hundred tons of Platte river sand.

A. J. P. Bertschy received a tele

the last of this week-or the first
of next week on his transconti

over Omaha and has arranged to
drop a special message for Mr.
Bertschy by means of a small para
chute that will be aimed to alight
at Fort Omaha.
