Toledo, O., July 4. By virtue of one of the speediest and most one sided battles which ever decided a big fistic event, Jack Dempsey, who may now wish to be known by his full voting name of William Harri- MOTHER OF CHAMPION OVERJOYED AT RESULT ' Salt Lake City, July 4. Mrs. Celia Dempsey, mother of the champion, shouted with joy when the flash reached her that her son had won the cnampionship. "1 am overjoyed, ' she said. son Dempsey, Friday became the world's champion heavy weight boxer. To all intenets and purposes he whipped the huge Jess Willard, fa vorite in the meager betting in oneJ round. Dempsey thought the ref eree had announced him winner and actually left the ring. But he was called back and the butchery con tinued for two rounds more when less, sitting in h'S corner with a be wildered look on his swollen "coun tenance, failed to respond to tiie tons tor the fourth roi:;iG It was no use "to continue, said the ex-champion. "My strength went from me in the first round." Appears Much Surprised. He' sat there, apparently the most surprised man in the United States at the moment. His rieht eve was closed and his 'ight cheek swollen and blue with bruises. Bleed cov ered his body and his arms hung to helplessly over the ropes that it feemed as if a child might g've him further abuse without arousing his interest. Dempsey was breathin hard when the fight ended, but it was from exertion and not from punish ment. He escaped almost unhurt, but as he had been using his arms like trip-hammers on the anatomV of his opponent for nine crowded minutes, in a sun that sent ther mometers to 110 degrees, his heart was still pumping at high pressure and he appreciated the breathing spell. In the first few seconds of the contest it looked as if the experts who had been assigned to keep de tailed account of all blows struck might come measurably close to doing so, but it was only for a frac tion of a moment. After that the experts did well to count Jack's blows, let alone, take note of how each was made. The challenger knocked the big fellow down five timesn the first round and had him hanging helplessly on the ropes or' draped over his own shoulders most of the time when he was not taking advantage of the count. Thought FighWas Over. The crowd thought the fight was over in that round. Willard was down for the fifth time and the count was apparently about given up when the gong sounded. It was a modest gong which couJdn't make itself heard by so many people, and even Dempsey didn't get it. He crawled through the ropes and was headed out onto the shoulders of screaming fans when the truth was broken to him and he was- hauled back. t Such fighting xas the Kansas ranchman produced was placed : on exhibition at the onset. He had stood in his corner a picture of con fidence. His smile seemed that of one who had a brief and not unpleas ant task before him. He certainly was all set to go, for just before time was called he was heatd to have re marked, "Let's get this thing over." He measured the attendance, which disappointed estimates by about SO per cent, with an apprais ing eye. Dempsey Appeared Nervous. Dempsey 1 presented a contrast. None of the confidence of his train ing camp statements appeared in his bearing. The man across from him outweighed him 40 pounds and looked as big and impregnable as a metropolitan bank building. The mood of the challenger was plainly thoughtful and more than one ring side gazer whispered, "He's licked right now." When they were introduced Jess sauntered over with the cordial man ner of one desiring to reassure a youngster arid took his hands in' the friendliest way. Jack's handshake was friendly, too, just then, but it was the last token of friendship from those gloves. A minute or so later they were using Willard for a chopping block and some in the crowd were crying, "Stop it, 'stop it; it's plain murder. ' Dempsey's first effective blows, and tfie ones which "apparently set tled Willard's fate, were a right over Jess' shoulder to the jaw, a left to the body and a right to the jaw. Jess staggered. His eye was closing and he reeled, and the challenger, with all the energy of his pulsing youth, began hitting him at will.

Seats were built for 80,000, and the estimate was that not more than half of these v were occupied. Speculators lost heavily. No bet ting was reported at the ringside, nor was there much elsewhere so far as could be ascertained. The heat of the day was terrific, intensified as it was by the vast acreage of green lumber. During the preliminary bouts, which lasted from 11 o'clock till 2:30, a thermom eter jumped to 120-degrees. It showed 110 degrees when Willard and Dempsey entered the ring. WnenDempsey was proclaimed winner, the crowd surged onto the mat in a wild scramble to shake the hand of the .new champion. At times some of them toppled over onto the telegraphers and reporters just below, who were strugglingjn the mad disorder to report what had happened. Police eventually dispersed them by hustling Demp sey away. Willard was taken to an automobile and disappeared from view of the crowd. -Lacking In Class. While the passing of the heavy weight championship was one of the most dramatic events of modern ring history, it was lacking entirely in high class boxing. With the ex ception of the first three snappy left jabs with which Willard opened the contest, the combat was simply a series of terrific drives and smashes, virtually all of which were delivered by Dempsey; The first of these crashing swings to land on Willard's jaw and body appeared to ' completely daze' and take away from theVtitle-ljolder ali power to either protect himself or fight back as had been expected by his admirers. Whether he could have stood up better under the bat tering of Dempsey a few years ago will always be a mooted question. It cannot be denied, however, that Willard was in good physical con dition and displayed gameness up to the moment that his seconds per suaded him to relinquish the cham pionship to Dempsey. Took Punishment Well. v This was demonstrated by, the fact he received in nine minutes of fighfr iner far more punishment than did Jeffries at the hands of Jack John son in their 15-round bout at Reno, and yet was able to respond to the bell had hisseconds been calloused enough to send him again to tne slaughter. Even after the disastrous ending of the first round, Willard flashed a momentary comeback in the second, which for a few seconds led to the belief among his support ers that he would weather the storm and carry the battle along on even terms for a few sessions at least. It was the last flicker of a spirit which was stronger than the flesh. Another sweeping right-arm smash that flew over Willard's shoulder and landed flush on his swollen, bleeding jaw, took the last ourrce of resistance out of the giant and made his downfall a matter of but minutes. Battered Opponent Down. An analysis of the new champion shows nothing new in his fighting methods. He tore into his oppon ent at top speed, as has always been his fighting custom, and simply bat tered his way to the pinnacle of pugilism by the speed of his blows and the overwhelming power that traveled from the huge shoulder muscles down through the brawny arms and into the clinched fists ar mored with fivcounce gloves. He made little or no attempt at de fensive work and not more than five or six times during the nine minutes of battling did he resort to foo( work to avoid Wjllard. Demosev appeared in the ring at 3:55 o'clock and 'Willard a minute later.' They were stripped ready for action, Willard wearing short, tight-fitting blue worsted trunks with an American flag belt, while Dempsey wore short, loose trunks like those of a sprinter. During the few preliminary details both were covered with huge umbrellas 'to keep the sun from their uncovered heads. At nine minutes after 4, the weak gong, wnicn later' caused so mucn confusion, clanged and the battle was on. Round One. Willard loomed up like a Goliath against his five-inch shorter David, and opened the engagement by! pumping his long left twice into Dempsey's face with force enough to make the latter blink. The chal lenger missed a swing and, slipping into a clinch, landed three body blows with his left hand, carrying but little force. Willard held him easily in a ennen ana partly turn ing him around used his rapier like left again, once to the head and -once to the body after the break. Then Dempsey. as if he bad got the range, opened his heavy artil lery and swung a jarring left tff the jaw, followed by a righ and left to the body. The almost superhuman power of the punches was immedi ately apparent, p. partly silly, part ly stupid, expression overspread Willard's face and as he rocked on his-heels his whole body quivvered. He pulled himself together and as Dempsey crowded in again, shot a left to the mouth and repeated to the eye. , The blows did not even cause his youthful nemesis to hesi tate, and, dodging past the out stretched left as it snapped for the third time, he-whipped over a right and left almost simultaneously, the blows landing flush t on Willard's jaw. and for the first time in his championship career Willard was dropped to the floor. He was up again at the count of six, only to be sent to the canvas with ano.ther right as he rose slowly to his feet, (he blood began to pour from his mouth. - He turned away from his oppo nent, who struck again twice with his right, Willard falling on his hands and knees. When he arose Dempsey crowded him into a corner and with a right and left to the face, sending him to the floor again. As he arose a fusillade of body blows dropped him in a corner, where he at when .the bell terminated the DEMPSEY WINS CHAMPIONSHIP IN QUICK TIME ' Soundly Whipped and With Jaw Broken, Willard throws Up the Sponge in v Third Round. (Continued From Pace One.) was out of his corner like a flash and met Willard in the. champion's own corner, showering him with rights and lefts. Willard clinched and punthed with him in close. The scrap was a continual mixup from that time on, each man punching blindly at the -other's head, but Wil lard's blows lacked steart.. x Dempsey was hitting with all the brute force that was boasted that he possessed. He staggered Wil lard with powerful wallops, but the game losing champion tried to slug with him. He staggered to his cor ner and fell into his chair like a man half dead. The third round bell found Demp sey eager and anxious to get at it again to complete a job so well be gun. He sprang at' Jess with a shower of punches that would have dropped an ordinary man. Willard fought back desperately buNwith no power in his blows. It was only a question pf minutes till the end came. His knees sagged as he wab bled aiound, striking at his oppo nent blindly. When the gong rang for the start of the fourth round, one of Wil lard's seconds, tossed a towel into the ring in token of defeat. Willard Powerless. Willard had tried to answer the call of the bell, but could not rise from his seat. He was utterly pow erless and was forced to concede the victory to his younger opponen. He was assisted from the ring a broken and disheveled ex-champion who had lost his title to a younger man in the shortest time that a world's heavyweight championship had ever changed hands. Losing a bitter fight, but game to the end, quitting only when his legs refused -lo support him, he wws a beaten man from the time that the first left hook landed on his jaw, but though dropped four times more in the same round, he forced his wavering legs to carry him an other two rounds. It was the fall round and led Dempsey to believe ttidt Willard had been counted out. Round Two. Dempsey started where he left off and Willard, with a big cut under his eye, appeared to be in a bad way. He managed to snap a left'to-Demp-sey's face and a puny right uppercut to the chin. Defhpsey replied with several body drives and Willard fell partly through the ropes. When he regained his feet he stumbled into a clinch, but Dempsey easily tore loose and proceeded to batter him almost at will, the champion retal iating with but three- feeble stabs to the face during the melee. When Willard went to his corner he fell heavily into his chair and it was seen that his right eye was com pletely closed and that side of his face was swollen entirely out of shape, while Dempsey was un marked. ' Third Round. The final session was simply a series of rapid-fire swings which fell( on Willard's face and body with pile-driving power, which left Wil lard completely helpless as he stag gered about the ring and wobbled along the ropes utterly unable to defend himself. Blood, bubbled from his mouth with every gasp for breath, while the crowd about the ringside began to yell to Referee Pecord to stop if? Just as the bell rang and Willard collapsed in his chair he spat out a tooth and it was seen that he was in bad condition. As he sat lolline from side to side. his chief second, Walter Monahan, talked earnestly to him and when Willard nodded his head, Monahan walked over and spoke to Pecord. The referee threw up his hands and hurried to Dempsey s corner. He gesticulated in the uproar and final ly pulled Dempsey toward the cen ter of, the rjng before the new cham pion realised that Wyillard's seconds had thrown up the sponge. , As soon as he grasped th4 situation, he started for Willaid's corner and the late titleholder arose and stepped weakly to meet him. They shook hands and Willard muttered some thing in reply to Dempsey's remarks and the hgnt nad passed into nis tor?.

Dempsty was faster than 1 Willard and it was his speed that won for him. Without it he would have never landed that first left hook that won his battle for him. Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his manager, danced and laughed in the corner like schoof boy when Wil lard's towel came sailing across the ring. Hi friends crowded into the ring and hoisted him to their shoul ders. The carried him around the ring, cheering till it was thought their throats would crack. A joyful throng took up the cry. Even those that had lost heavily on Willard cheered Dempsey to the echb.y Upward of 40,000 fans witnessed the fight and every one of them had a cheery word for the new cham pion. Heat Is Blistering. A blistering heat inside the arena weakened every one of the boxers in the preliminaries and spectators were anything but comfortable. The press stands were full of newspaper men who wore faces - as red as boiled lobsters when thev left the arena. Dempsey and Willard were shaded in their corners by huge um brellas held by their seconds. Dempsey was the first in the ring and selected the corner with his back to the sun. Willard followed him into the ring a minute later and walked over to Dempsey an,d shook hands with him. They posed for some pictures, received referee Pe cord's instruction"? and returned to their corners to await the call of the first bell. The men came out of their cor ners fighting, having shaken hands at the center when instructed by fhe-Teferee. and Willard led with a hffht left. He repeated and followed with a light one tq right. This con tinued for some time, Willard jab bing and Dempsey slamming his right td the body. Suddenly Demp sey shifted his attack and hooked a vicious left to the jaw, landing flush on the point of the chin and from this blow his victory resulted. . Dempsey Unmarked. Dempsey left the ring practically unmarked, while Willard was as sisted from the ring with his jaw sagging, his right eye completely closed and his left eye almost closed. The entire rieht side of his fiace was badly swollen and was al ready turning color, being mute witness of Dempsey's terrible pun ishing ability. the rise of the new champion marks a new epoch in the hi story -of boxing. Dempsey has risen to the highest point attainable in this line because of his great love for fighting, i j i .. . i i i i.ji.. . , i. iic iijs aiaicu repeaieuiy mat nc would be a real fighting champion if he won the title and every fight fan in the country hopes that he will. Should he pursue this course, he will be the most popular cham pion America has ever known, not even barring John L. Sullivan and Bob Fitzsimons. He is a young tellow ot pleasing personality and fights purely for the love of fighting. Whether the money that comes with a title will turn him from this love of battle is still to be learned. The 40,000 fans who saw the mill will be enthusiastic supporters of the new champion if his avowed inten tions are carried out. Rise Sensational. , The rise of the new champion was sensational all the way and the moVe than ordinarily sensational manner in which he won the title will re main fresh in the minds of the wit nesses long after he has retired from the game. It stVikes me that a real champion won the title in a real champion like form. He won his honors on a knockout and it is to be hoped that when he loses them, it will be the same way. Should he ever be knocked out and lose his well earned championship, his conqueror may well be hailed as the greatest heavyweight the world has ever seen. Today, Jack Dempsey stands in this position and were there any way to prove this fact many men, even those who lost money by Jack's victory, would back him to the full extent of their bank account. He is declared a greater cchampion than Jefferies was. It is claimed that he is a harder hitter than Jeff and that he is more vulnerable to punish ment than that giant Californian. , Warning to Wives. Harkensack. ' N T.
