WILLARD PEEVED BECAUSE Of REPORT JACK KEARNS HAS BEEN “SPYING” ON HIM Jess Says Such Action Is Unethical, But Is Willing That Jack Demp- sey Himself Have a Ringside Seat During His Daily Work- outs. : : By Robert Edgren. by The Press Publish ing Oo,, (The New York Bvening World.) TOLHDO, 0, June 12. + BSS WILLARD has a @reuch. It has been reported to Jess that Jack Kerns, manager of Jack Dempsey, has been visiting the Casino incog- nito, or words to that effect. Kearns, so the Willard secret service Coprright, like an ordinary spectator, and by this subterfuge has been able to watch Jess in his daily seven round slugfes' notes of Willard’s new left uppercut a the chatapion’s soft spots, if he has any, and getting a close line on: his physical condition for the purpose of telling Dempsey how to fight. When the information came to the champion he roared in wrath, “Dempsey doesn't need to do anything like that,” growled Jess, “If he wants to see what condition I'm in he can come right over him~ self and go in at the front gate without paying a nickel. “L'il have the boys give him a ohair right beside the ring so he can get & good look at me, If Dempsey doesn't want to do that, I'll tell you what he can do. He can send over that big dusky boy, Bill Tate, . “There's been a lot of talk about Tate's being just about my size and Just as good a boxer as Tam. All right. Jack can send Tate over to box with me and find out all about me, I'll take him on any day, and he'll learn a lot. If they want a line on me let them get a good line. In about & week, when Tate gets over it, he can go out with Jack and show him all about some of my best punches. Jess Says It’s Going to Be Short and Sweet. “The only thing I have a kick about is having people over here from the Dempsey camp without an inyitation, It isn’t ethical, That's all I've Got to say about it, It isn’t ethical, I'm not sending any one over to watoh Dempsey for me, am I? I don't care to know anything about Dempsey until July 4th, I never saw him fight and I don't care to be told about how he fights. I'll learn ali I need to know in the fest round. That's my way. Nothing unethical about that.” ‘ Here Jess, having expended the force of his annoyance, began to laugh. ‘Friend Jack would make a mistake if he planned his fight on any re- port of my training work, anyway,” he said. “I may hold my jaw out here and let the boys punch me in the stomach. But I'm not going to hold either my jaw or my stomach for that bird to hit, No, siree. I'm going to start the way I did with Johnson, taking good care to avoid being hit and measuring friend Jack for myself before | get down to business, After that I think it's going Yo be short and sweet. When the bout is over I'm ‘Then I'm going right down to Texas to the oil flelds.

No theatrical stunts for me after this bout. I'm going to be too busy where the big money is to waste any time. I don't like to go up and show off on the stage any way.” Jack Kearns, who pilots the Dempsey ship, has plans for “after the fight" too, I was talking with him during the Dempsey workout yesterday afternoon. “Dempsey will go right along boxing when he is champion,” Kearns. “Beat Willard? Nothing to it. After the Willard bout on the Fourth I'm going to try to sign Jack up for a contest with George Carpentier, | hear Carpentier is boxing again and is in good shape. ‘Dempsey is near enough to his size to make it a great interna- tional match. If Carpentier doesn't want to come to this country I'll take Dempsey and we'll jump right over to France or England and have the bout there. Dempsey won't worry over fighting in a foreign country. He's a clean fighter, and the rules and referees over there will suit him as well ‘we'll take on the champion of England,” Kearns is all stirred up over the report that some of the gentle- men named as possible referees have given out public statements to the effect that they don't think a champion should be deprived of his title by a “close” decision, Chiefly he takes exception to a paragraph printed by Rocap of Philadelphia, who was reported to be the Board of Boxing Con- trol’s selection, It quotes Jack Skelly, making Jack say that a challenger must have a fat lead to win over a title holder, or words to that effect, “What do you think of that?” exclaimed Kearns, “I hold that when two men get into a ring to box to a decision it doemm't make any difference whether one is a champion or not. “The man doing the best work wins and is entitled to the decisien, even if a title goes with It, All that Dempsey and I want is an absolutely fair and even break. If Jack leads Willard by even a small margin hi entitled to the verdict, and no man who can't see it that way will suit me as referee.” I had just talked the referee matter over with Willard. Jesse expressed himself in practically the same way, ti \f we can’t get Carpentier wf onthe to guarantee that he will be fair and honest, vent It want and will insist on,” he said, “is that the referee must be | o LIGTEMS WITH ONPALING CoonTe SY “1D it he'll do it in the first round. regular champion.

ALL HIS SPARRING STAPF “Old Man Hard Luck’’ Visits Dodgers Early Marquard’s Broken Leg Puts Big Crimp in Pennant Aspirations of Brooklyn Club and Its Faithful Rooters. By Richard Freyer. EVENING WORLD'S OWN SPORT HISTORY What Happens Every Day HARVARD WITHOUT CHEER LEADER BLANKS PRGETON Tigers Lose Deciding Game of Baseball Series at Ebbets Field, By Richard Freyer. Q*r & representative gathertne By Edgren of college youths, the majority | accompanied by “youthesses,” congregated at Ebbets Field to wit- | ness the deciding contest between the diamond gladiators of Harvard and Princeton. The Orange and Black aggregation brought along five cheer jleaders all dressed up in the kind of trousers necessary to make a trip to Palm Beach a success—white flan- nels—but they left the all-important talleys somewhere in New Jersey, On the other hand, Harvard, show- |ing an economical spirit, saved their ‘college gteat expense by not taking | their cheer dispensers away from \thetr studies. Instead, the Crimson lads came to the battle-grounds with \fre in their eyes and with athletes wis by the aid of some mighty stick work were able to send a respectable number of runs across the home plate, The final score was Harvard, | 8; Princeton, .0. Felton, whose first name is Wins- |low but who suffered no handicap lor that account, was on the twirling |mound for Harvard. He pitched in a masterful manner, allowing his op- ponents but two hits, issuing a like amount of free walks and making eight Princeton players fan the breeze, Winslow was in difMfcuity in but one inning—the eighth—when an Jerror, one of his free tickets and a | single to centre filled the bags. How- ever, the next man popped up, the Mollowing batter did the same as Casey, hero of the poem, and the third out was registered via second to first. ; Felton claims he does not smile until he is hurt, and he smiled con- (siderably in that eighth stanza. In addition to the winning pitcher's great work on the slab, he was re- sponsible for the first Crimson run sent home. A long single to left with a man on second accounted for this, As this run turned out to »e the winning one, there is no doubt that Mr. Felton will be given a great hand when he returns to Cambridge. Princeton used three twirlers, Mar- getts, St. John and Kirkland. The first mentioned lasted two and one. third innings, St. John stuck it out for five and two-third innings and Kirkland twirled the final stansa. Although the latter twirler pitched but one inning, he seemed to be the most effective, and if he had started the game the score might have been different. The Orange and Black rooters took thelr position in back of first base, while the Harvard scholars and ex- scholars camped near third, The Princeton crowd did not give up cult the only sad blow to Robbie was the twirling of Al Mamaux who, with the exception of one game-the thir- teen inning affair with Cincinnatt in which the latter scored ten runs in the final inning—has not shown cny- thing. Mamaux’s case is a mystery. Al has the curves and all sorts of stuff, but somehow or other he does not seem able to control the ball. The remaining Dodger pitch judging from their recent games, are suflering from the same malady. Rube Marq@ard was the only twirler showing to advantage and an un- fortunate accident which occurred during the final game at Cincinnati will probably keep Marquard out of the game the remainder of the season, The Rube hit @ line drive to left and as he was rounding second base was séen to falter and fall to the ground. He was carried off the field by some of the players and a physi- clan in the stand upon examing the Rube's foot claimed his ankle was sprained and that he would be all right shortly. A closer examination in the club-house showed a bone had been broken in his leg and, according w the doctors, he will not be able to play again before next season, Mar- Tope until the last man had ben retired, They Roola boolad and ziss boomed in loud voices and suffere! with great enthusiasm, so to speak.
