THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 6, 1919.
AUTOPSY HELD
BY FIGHT FANS
OVER OUTCOME
Unusual Developments of
, Championship - Bout Pro
vide Ring Followers With
Argument Material.
Toledo, O., July 5. Though a
new heavyweight champion has been
crowned iu Jack Dempseyand the
exodus of fight fans has depopulated
Toledo hotels, controversy still
rages over the sensational defeat of
Jess Willard hefe yesterday after
noon. So many unusual angles de
veloped during the nine minutes of
terrific fistic bombardment that
scarcely two spectators, saw the
scene the same.
The uncertainty regarding the
situation at the end of the first
rohnd when empsey left the ring
believing that he had won with a
knockout and the payment of such
wagers as hingtfd on when Willard
wk stopped, furnished unlimited
material for argument.
Pcord Didn't Hear Bell .
, So weak .was the sound of the
gong and so great the uproar about
the ring, that Referee Pecord failed
to hear the bell and continued to
count over Willard as he sat on the
Ting floor near a neutral corner, al
though Timekeeper Barbour ordered
the clanfe when Pecord's arm was
falling for the seventh time. The
referee notified Dempsey that he
had won and the Salt Lake City
pugilist was well on his way to his
dressing room before his manager
overtook him and told him that he
was in danger of being disqualified
on a technicality for leaving the
ring.
The question ot which round
TJempsey won .Jiis title was placed
before several veteran ring officials
by men who had wage at stake
and the concensus was that Demp
sey stopped Willard in the third
round, as the tatter's seconds tossed
the towel of defeat into the center
of the ring before the bell rang for
the beginning of the fourth ses
sion. These Same veterans pointed
out several other interesting fea
tures. They stated that it was the
first time that a heavyweight cham
pion had ever admitted defeat with
out leaving his chair as well as the
shortest heavyweight championship
combat of modern ring history.
" Champion Joins Crowd.
In other respcets the first few
hours after the battle were much
the same as thos following the
passing of past titles. Dempsey was
soon dressed and mucn in evidence
about the downtown section, fol
lowed by a wildly enthusiastic and
cheering throng of admirers. When
he appeared for dinner aj the lead
ing hotel the corridors were a mass
of swirling spectators who peeked
at Willard's conquerer as he broke
training and dined -in a manner en
tirely different "from the simple
menus of the past two months.
At the same hour his dethroned
opponent was jesting in his tem
porary homes in a residential .sec
tion with his battered head packed in
ice bags and cut off from communi
cation with the outside world by a
guard that even the telephone could
not penetrate. He was examined
hv the boxing commission physician,
however, soon after his return from
the ring. The latter stated officially
that Willard was not seriously in
iured and would be able to -appear
in public as soon as his bruises and
other marks of battle had yielded to
ordinary treatment.
Dempsey to Enter 'Vaudeville. -
Neither boxer Had made any def
inite plans for leaving the city early
today, but it was expected that
Dempsey would depart within the
next 48 hours in order to f jl fill a
Vaudeville engagement, offered hirn
in cse he was a winner. Willard
hud originally planned to go to New
York to discuss certain business
plans immediately after -the bout,
but what ffecf the upset -will have
on' this arrangement could not "be
learned earlv today. '
Dempsey nas no immediately idea
of re-entering the ting, for there is
no worthy-opponert in sight at this
time. It is likely that he will'en
deavbr to- turn his newly gained ring
laurels into commercial value, as has
been the custom of all modern hold
ers of the title. ' -
V Cryptograms of Sport.
Sam Hall, sports editor of the
' Chicago Herald-Examiner, says in
t Monday's .. edition of his sheet:
handy Griswold, veteran sporting
editor of the Omaha Bee, is on the
job. . (At -Toledo). Griswold is .' 70
'years old and hasn't missed a cham-
pionshipencounter in SO years."
Wow!
" s ' -
Which goes to show how accurate
. a "veteran" sports editor has to be
- to hold his job. ,-

Sandy used to be with The Bee.
J Nebraska -U authorities are trail
' ing the erstwhile famous Ewald O.
r!Stiehm, former mentor at Lincoln,
now with the Boilermakers at
.Bloomineton. 111. The done is that
.the powers that be are offering
Stiehm $5,000 if he will only come
back. ' . " v
Ewald wanted $4,500 in 1916.
From which we deduct, the "ex
rerts"xmusn't think 'that "Jumbo"
has improved much.

.vould the forraer Cornhusk pro
ducer, rather' do. manufacture "corn

NEW OUTBREAKS
FEARED AS FOOD
RIOTS INCREASE
Carbineers Fire UporTcrowds
, as Shops and Stores Are
Ransacked by Infuriated
- Mobs.
Florence, Italy, July 5. (By the
Associated ' Press. ) Carabineers
fired upon crowds here today. Dis
orders are . increasing and the ran
sacking of shops is widespread. One
dead and 20 injured wasth total of
the rioting Friday.
Strengthened by rowdies, the
crowd has abandoned to the general
sacking of all shops, destroying what
it is unable to carry away. One en
tire street is flooded with petroleum,
gasoline, wine, beer and olive oil.
Red. Flags Are Numerous.
Wherever the chamber of labor
is able to exercise authority, goods
are being transported to special
warehouses uritfer the red flag.
Large quantities of supplies. are be
ing turAed over to the municipality
in the . chief square of the city.
Money taken from shops also is be
ing placed in the care of the muni
cipality or the chamber of labor.
Thousands of boxes of matches are
being distributed free to the crowds.
The only shops respected by the
rioters' were those bearing the in
scription: "This shop is at the dis
posal of the chamber of labor." The
chamber of labor apparently has be
come the only authority to which
the people pay -any attention. The
automobiles and cabs permitted to
use the streets must "bear a sign

chamber, of labor." The local au
thorities seemingly have made no

price. All other goods, including
medicine, it was ordered, should be
sold at a reduction of 70 per cent
from the previous prices.
