Whether ho could take, with- out wincing, the terrific blowa which eent Willard spinning seven times to the mat when the latter faced Demp- sey at Toledo, remains yet to be seen. But Willard has something to say on this subject. Willard, who has taken blows from both men, declared in his locker room last night that good, tough hitter” and great match for the Firpo was would make champion.” THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS ROUND ONE—Firpo came from his corners with «@ characteristic rush. Willard blocked his right and INWOOD, July 18.—(By The Associated Press). Seventy-seven golfers, survivors of a field of 340 over the well trapped Inwood Country club course in four days of qualifying rounds will start today on the first half of the 72-hole play for the national open championship, won last year at Skokie with a score of 288 by Gene Sarazen.

ADD BIG JESS—SPORTS The knockout came in the eighth round, one minute and fifty-five sec- onds after the round began, The South American rushed his heavier opponent to the ropes with an at- tack as furious as ever has been seen sent the giant Kansan to his knees in his own corner and before he had risen, the fatal count of 10 had been gt me," counted the referee. Jess, his eyes bleared, gazed straight downward at the resined canvas. “Two, three, four, five." Jess shook the ‘sweat from his eyes as a great Dane coming out of the water. “Six”. For a moment it looked as tf the former champion, attempting the greatest comeback in pugilistic his tory, might yet rise, The gamenes: was there, but the terrific blows of he ambitious youngster had done thelr deadly work. Again the fallen giant shook his head. “Seven, eight, nine.” Jess raised a trembling hand for the top rope in a final attempt to pull himself to his feet. The hand ‘wavered and missed its mark. “Ten.” Jess was through—his comeback had failed—he left the ring for good. Not a word did he utter, when re- vived in his corner. He turned, climbed ‘down the steps and disap peared in the darkness toward his: dressing “room. And 80, today, the sporting world focused its attention on the dark browned young giant with the black, yellow and purple bath robe, who, coming north from the Pampas about 15 months ago, battered his way to the fore ranks of heavyweights with the tremendous sledgehammer blows of his right Ast. Firpo this morning lcoked fondly at the contract he had signed with Promoter Tex Rickard agreeing ‘to pe the champion. Last night he had fought before an estimated crowd of 100,000 and today he was looking forward to the throng he would face ‘when he stepped into the ring in an attempt to tear the laurels from the head of Dempsey. Dempsey, victor over Tom Gibboris by a decision only after his opponent had gone the full 15 rounds at Shelby, was not at the ringside last night. He was on the Pacific coast, resting after his only combat in two years. But his manager, Jack Kearns, was |: present, and he told newspaper men his protege was ready for Firpo any time. ‘Labor Day?" some one cried. “Any time.” And so the world of sport now looks for negotiations which again will match North and South America in the ring. Critics who have seen ere res gey and Firpo in action, indicat 0" pat that should a match be arranged this summer, their cholce would be the champion. with his years in the Dempsey, ring, is a master of fisticuffs, has an arsenal of blows, as varied as they are powerful.

His much touted left, said to have been de- veloped by his veteran trainer, Jimmy DeForrest, hardly whipped out once Jast night, and then it had no sting. He still rushes to the attack, leaving vulnerable spots unguarded. Willard did more than of his pre- ‘vious opponents in holding his wicked right in check, but even the former champion weakened when once it got through his defense. Had the Kan- sas giant fought anything but a de- fensive battle, a different tale might ‘be told. . But despite the crudeness of his ——<—$<— << << ; js Club Standing National League.

CHICAGO, July 13.—The west scor- @4 decisively in the National League contests yesterday, while in the American, by splitting even, western home, held thelr own. The Chicago Cubs bianked the Robins and moved into the first divi- sion, and Cincinnati made a more se. eure hold on second place by shutting out Phi'adelphia, 2 to 0, ‘The only setback of the western in- vaders in the National League was received from the Giants, who were forced to divide a double header with Pittsburgh los'ng the first game, 5 to 3, and taking the second, 4 to 2. The other National League western victor Was St. Louis, which took its fourth straight game from the Braves. The Yankees, who seem beyond the pale of intersectional tendencies, who through the western circut. The Yankee 10 to 6 triumph over Chicago was offset by Cleveland's shutaut of Philadelphia 11 to 0.
