J } ; HEAVYWEIGHT ASPIRANTS UNABLE TO WE DEMPSEY 6000 BATTLE Champion Is Too Far Their Superior, Dismissing Question of “Who Will Win?” Preliminaries ~ Suggested Before Future Title Fights The situation which confronts us today, insofar as conditions in the heavyweight boxing division are.concerned, are analagous to those which obtained after the negro, Jack Johnson, succeeded to the world's heavyweight title, and no boxer could be found who was con- sidered good enough to even give the big Ethiopian a tryout.

ERE So || was the time in which the much-abused term ‘white hope” was born, and which remains with us to this day. While the question of “color” does not enter into the proposition at the present time, certainly history is re- peating itself in the matter of a dearth of likely candidates who would stand any chance at all if put in the ring with Champion Jack Dempsey. It is said that competition “is the life of trade, and, no less is it a fact that uncer- tainty as to the outcéme of competi- tion is the life and soul of all sports. In order to arouse interest in any sporting event there must be some un- certainty as to how the affair will re- sult. Difference of opinion is what! Former makes horse racing. If every form of sport resolved itself into one constant and sure* winner interest would cease. The heavyweight division _presents the spectacle of Jack Dempsey so far superior to all the other men in bis class that it makes no difference with whom the champion may be matched, the question asked is no Jonger, “Who “will win?” but “How Jong will the oth- er fellow last?” ‘The proposéd match between the an: tiquated, and none too courageous “Gunboat" Smith is looked upon, as a joke by practically every sports writer who has commented on the eyent. Un- fortunately it-is a more serious mat ter than a joke,.for it passes beyond the realm of humor and may be class- ed as a tragedy, if not in fact, then as a possible one. - Smith is utterly un- able to”cope with such a man as Demp- sey. It will be a pitiful spectacle, to say nothing of the possibility of a 1a- tality. ¢ Not one person in» a thousand be- lieves that Brennan, should he get in- to the ring with Dempsey, stands the ghost of a chance of “being returned the victor... There are a few, & very few, who still think that perhaps Jess Willard, now that he has had his les- son at Toledo, might reverse the ‘e- cision if he were given a return match. “Fultom has. been eliminated, Willie -Meehan,- -.the > oheaxy; weight, merely is a slap stick artist!" wgiie agurphy. lost to ‘Burke: in| let, Luque and Wingo. . who would eventually be as easy for Dempsey as was Billy. ke. . Meehan stayed through four rounds with Demp- sey, and those who saw him: do: it-and get the devisfon. accounted ‘him. 1a mighty. lucky young man, but they ‘would give the proverbial’ snowball in the, lower regions as much chance. 25 they give Willie in a ten to fifteen round bout against Dempsey. ‘The negro Wills, and Georges Car- pentier seern to be the only two men, at the moment, who could really arouse anything but a°fictitious interest in a match against Dempsey. The latter is scheduled to go against Levinsky and unless he very decisively better’ Lev- insky, his match against Dempsey will again fall flat. There are many who think that Carpentier never will be pitted against Levinsky by promoters for fear of spoiling a big financial plan ‘as represented by a Dempsey-Carpen- tier match. This is all the more rea- son why the public should insist that the preliminary match be staged... It may save them from paying exhorhi-! tantly high prices to see a mere butch-; ery. ——_—— Here js a real bargain you will nev- er get again: Owner going east and will sell his fine°7-passenger, rebuilt Cadil- lac automobile for the small sum of $1,400.

Our ballot boxes will be open to women; and their vote, while figured in the grand total, will be displayed separately, thus giving the only actual and accurate forecast. Fair play and accuracy are to be the keynotes of The Rexall Stores Straw Votes. Voters are urged to cast but one ballot. In this way only can a fair estimate of the ultimate result be reached. The Rexall Stores Straw Vote System is infallible. Why? Because it already has been sub- jected to the acid test of actual and far-reaching accuracy. In 1916 The Rexall Stores Straw Vote was the only forecast presented which returned Woodrow Wilson ‘the victor. With only nine days of actual balloting, in which a million votes were cast, the final figu‘es proved Presi- dent Wilson would wimby a’slender majority. In such states as California and New Hampshire, each generally conceded to Hughes, the Rexall figures when compared with the actual ballots, pro- portionately, differed less than one-half of one per cent. The result of balloting in each store will be telegraphed daily to the general offices of the United Drug Company at Boston, Mass.; ‘there the figures will be compiled, and each night sent back broadcast so that the vote by state and nation can be displayed on each store window.
