(The New York Evening World.) a GOSH, THEM AUTOMOBILES SURE WILLARD STARTS TRAINING TO-DAY FOR DEMPSEY BOUT Challenger No Longer the Big Fa- vorite in Betting He Was Before By Robert Edgren. TOLEDO, O., June 3. ESS WILLARD will begin his training here this afternoon. Yesterday J workmen were busy putting up an open-air ring at the Casino under the champion’s direction, It is the kind of a ring Willard usually tnsiste upon having at bis training quarters—a double roped ring with solid platform and well padded floor, ? Jess spent most of the day with Tex Rickard. The big fellow attracts & world of attention wherever he goes. He wears a neat lightweight gray The month of hard training in California gave him a healthy tan and took off whatever fat he may have had before the match was made. Dempsey has made such a tremendous impression on the local and visiting sportsmen that until Willand arrived the challenger was, looked upon as almost a sure thing favorite. Since Willard appeared his great height, hts clean cut bulk and his cheerful good nature have offset the effect of Dempsey’s daily slam-bang training work, very one is waiting now to see if Jess looks as good in action as he does on the street, Dempsey put in one of his hardest days yesterday. At 8 in the morn- ing he boxed twelve furious rounds with his whole staff of sparring part- ners, He ripped into big Bill Tate relentlessly as Bill had taken a day of rest on Sunday, Dempsey is fond of thinking that Bill Tate is a dusky double for Jess Willard, equal to the champion in height, weight, reach, skiN and hitting power. Tate says he is six feet five and weighs 235 pounds. Dempsey tears into Mm as if he had Willard in the ring, and, clever as he fs, the big black army sergeant does well to hold his feet. Dempsey Hits Tate Terrific Heart Punch, Yesterday Dempsey hit Tate so hard over the heart that there was some suspicion of broken ribs. It proved to be groundless, but Willlam felt so caved in that he asked for a short vacation, Dempsey has decided that he won't box again until Saturday. say there is no sense in letting him box every day in the present spell of hot weather. There's too much danger of overtraining, They expect to have him box three days next week, and then take another rest. Only the dast week will see heavy boxing every day at Dempsey’s quarters, Manager Kearns’s decision on this point gave great Joy to a battered lot of Dempsey’s hfted hands. . Jack and the sparring partners intend to have four days of fishing and swimming. Dempsey is living at his training quarters on the Lake shore. Willard will use his quarters only for training. He has rented a cottage to live in, and intends to buy a big twelve-cylinder car to whisk him back and forth. The town 1s filling with gents who are perfectly willing to referee. ‘They stand around Tex Rickard in platoons, regarding each other with suspicion and buttonholing perfect strangers to impress the incontrovertible logic of their candidacy, Tex couldn't swing a cat by the tail without howling over half a dozen of them. One of the latest is Bat Nelson, Bat explains that his well known qualities of honesty and fearlessness make him the logical candidate, as this may be a tough one to give a decision on and neither of the contestants wants any the worst of it. Every One Wants Best Seats, Says Rickard. Funny thing, Tex tells me nearly every one wants the best seats, Ong prominent gentleman wired for four ringside pasteboards, and when Tex had ordered them laid aside he got a follow-up wire saying briefly “Make it eleven.” ‘That's the way it's going. The seat sale is beating anything of the sort ever known before. A list of the thousands of prominent Americans who have already applied for reservations would astonish even followers of boxing. There are many of the highest officials of the Nation, scores of the biggest merchants, profes- sional men, mining men, lumbermen, inventors, manufacturers, lawyers, judges whose names are known everywhere, There are even preachers who want to see the fight. Toledo has been amused by the gyrations of one bewhiskered reformer. On Sunday the more or less reverend gentleman visited and spoke at about a dozen churches, explaining that he is a “stopper,” and that for years he ‘has, by his own unaided might, stopped or prevented the holding of several championship boxing bouts. He isn't going to let Willard and Dempsey box, he says, even if the whole United States of America is coming to see the scrap. It's said that he concluded éach appearance by taking up a collection. Tex Rickard says that he isn't in the least alarmed. His legal position is secure, and the citizens of Toledo, the Mayor, the officials, the courts nd Gov, Cox himself are taking a keen interest in seeing the heralded meeting between two of the finest, cleanest, best trained and best skilled men who ever shook hands and faced each other in a fair contest for ‘ Ry Sy ay semeeeen yy pewear prwoee brypur naw Wray Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co.

Swoop, Jusqu Gloria One Track Record Broken Twice at Belmont Races And Mile Time Made in Three Events Shows Course Fast as Any in Country. ESPITE the fears -expressed at the opening of the Belmont meeting that the track was unsafe because of its newness and {he rain, with which it was thor- oughly soaked at the time, it now appears to be the fastest in the country. All of which reflects credit on Superintendent Pels, who has given up much of his time and at- tention to its care, Yesterday one record for a mile and a sixteenth was broken twice, and the mile rec- ord for the course was equalled, King Plaudit, making his first metropolitan appearance since his good performance in the Peakness, won the third race at mile in 1.36 3-5. The most uninitiated could see during the running of the race that fast time was being made, #0 when King Plaudit withstood all challenges and passed the judges one-half a length in front of Yuru. cari experts consulted their watch The official timer hung out 1.36 3. The programme then revealed t fact that no mile has ever been fas. ter since Sept. 9. 1914, when Strom- boll won a race in the same time, supplanti: the then fastest mark ever recorded over the same track. King Plaudit was naturally a claimed when he returned to the scale for his winning performance, when a minute or so before he ap- peared to be extended to the limit to hold his advantage over first Lion D'Or, then Daydue and right at the end Yurucari, Lion D'Or ran in front of King Plaudit coming out of the backstretch, and just when he ap- ed to be safely in the lead, “ran out” nearing the stretch turn. King Plaudit at this point seemed to have the race to himself, and did, as matter of fact, but midway down t stretch he began to bear out. Th allowed Daydue to save considerable ground on the rail and caused the shout to go up, “Daydue has him! Daydue didn’t have him at all, He weakened when the pinch came. Yurucari, however, was the one to come on menacingly, but his rush was too late. By that time Lyke had King Plaudit straightened and point- ed directly toward the finish line. He reached it with something. to spare, much to the relief of those who had wagered on him at 1 to 2, Mark Equalled Fast running didn't end with the rformance of King Plaudit. Trompe Ee Mort came out as if to testify to Mr. Pels's ability as @ track trans- former and ran a mile and a sixteenth in 144 1 It was only on Wednes- day last that Corn Tass®i had hung up @ new mark of 1.44 2-5 for the distance. Trompe La Mort didn't win, however, like the 1 to 4 shot that he was. Fairbrother, who rode him, began looking behind at the others when he was half a dozen lengths in front nearing the stretch turn. Once around the turn, Fair- brother looked behind twice, but these looks weren't expressions of confi- dence on his part. Trompe La Mort had begun to “hang” and “Butts” had-all he could do to hold him to- gether to make him last. Pastoral Swain, beginning slowly, finished like a streak and had the Widener favor- ite doing his best at the end. After being scratched several times, Sam Hildredth finally decided to send Princeps to the post in the fifth race. ie showed himself to be a good “spot” picker, for Princeps ran away from his field to win easily, and in the same record-breaking time made by Trompe La Mort in the previous race. Princeps opened favorite for this race, but a big play, on Bolster sent his price back fromt® to 10 to 8 to 5. At post time Bolster was 9 to 10, Bolster got off last, and really didn’t get going until the stretch was reached. Then he made up a lot of eons to be a fast going third at the Steve Tawler has his old Futurity wiser Trojan, back in br moma and he is said to goin, 01 nicel, down at Gravesend. <i sad ‘4 W. R.

O. Joe O’Donnell. PHILADELPHIA,’ June 3.—That the American public idolizes a real fighter was evident at the Olympia A. A. heré last night when, despite the heat, over two thousand fans packed thé clibnouse to see the six- round set-to between Joe Lynch, the international boxing sensation ‘who the English boxing critics claim was robbed of a well-earned decision over the invincible Jimmy Wilde, and K. 0. Joe O'Donnell, the tough bantam- weight of Gloucester, It was Lynch’ first bout since -returning from s9r vice in France. In the third and fourth rounds Lynch shook O'Donnell up ‘with right-hand uppercuts that made him hola on to save himself. In the final round Lynch hit O’Don- nell with every punch imaginabley and only the tlmely sound of thi gong saved the plucky O'Donnell @ trip to the Land of Nod. In_the semi-final Battling Red@y of Harlem handed out a lacing to Harry Kid Brown of Philadelphia. Fully a hundred of Lynch's New York admirers were at the ringside to cheer him. After the bout Eddie Mead, man- ager of Lynch, matched him to box Champion Pete Herman at Shiba Park here, 118 ringside, June 26. Lynch wilh have no trouble making this weight, as it was what he scaled for O'Donnell last night. Wilson Praises The Winners of K. of C.
