TOLH@DO, O., June 18, ACK DEMPSBY isn't such a small man to be fighting even a giant like Willard, Yesterday, after acting as host to a hundred newspaper cor- respondents at his training quarters, Jack stripped to boxing shoes and {is equal in effectiveness to any man of normal build thirty or forty pounds heavier. Dempsey, being tn perfect condition to-day, is not doing much work. He walks © few miles every day. Jimmy De Forest has decreed that he must, cut out the rowing, that was one of his chief amusements, And, an: how, one stolen his boat. In the afternoon he shadow boxed for about six migutes and punched the light bag. Then he retired to his in ters. Going upstairs I found him lying on the floor going through @ lot o! exercises for the muscles of his abdomen. Standing up, he bent over and towehed the floor with his hands and straightened up again twenty or thirty times, a limbering exercise. It seems odd to find one of the greatest heavy~ weight fighters of tho century going through these school boy stunts, He says they keep his muscles loose and furnish a splendid substitute for the boxing he has cut out of his programme until next Saturday. And as he does the work under the direction of De Forest, a first class and experienced trainer of fighters, he must be right. I had a talk with Dempsey. There is no braggadocio in this boy, “I'm not going to say that I'll knock out Wil- jard” he gaid. “Willard is @ first class boxer and a powerful man, I know how good he is, If he wasn't a topnotcher he never would have become champion, I respect Willard for what he haa done. I don't expect to have yw he can knock me out if I let him hit me righty I'm going in : to hit him and to keep him from hitting me, and I think I will be z strong enough to beat him. I'm going to do my level best, and I'm win.” Rickard estimates the ticket sales to-day, cash in hand and reserva- be taken up, at about $420,000, This is more than enough to all the cnormous expense of putting on the biggest show on it represents the sale of only a fraction of the*space in the that is rapidly spreading over six‘and nine-tenths acres of the Park. put on @ full head of steam yesterday and nearly wrecked his ole crew of sparring partners. About noon I saw Jess reading a local paper, and his eye was gived on an article that described him as “fat.” He didn't wear his usual smile. Joe Chip Added to Willard’s List of Sparrers. ‘The pork at the Casino began on the minute. ‘illard is never late, He had as Sparring partners Hempel, Heinen, Monahan and a new one, Joe Chip. First Hempel climbed into the ring, The sun was beating down full force ont of a cloudless skyand hardly a breath of air tirring, Before Hempel had time to take more than half a dozen steps Willard was ham- uF = LH AE mering him all over the ring. There was a sort of suppressed exasperation | (.. in the big fellow's scowl, Fat, was he? Hempel took about as much hammering ag he could stand in two rounds and was sent down, Heinon took a two round battering. This Chicago boy ts very fair boxer, fast and aggressive, He ripped into Willard and landed @ lot of hard punches, which the champion paid no more attention to than if they had been so many slaps. Aftér Heinen came Chip. This boy Joe gave the champion a,corking two rounds. He is fast as a streak. Willard fas he could, Chip landed with everything in his whole bag of tricks, and ‘Willard often left openings and took punches without any attempt to guard, He didn't Ht back muoh, but moved around the ring swiftly and kept Chip working, made @ great hit with tho crowd. He is a very fast and clever boxer, and working with him should give Willard the speed he still lacks to some extent. Chip has been boxing lately and had a lot of training in the army, so-he is in good condition. He isn’t in the least afraid to tackle the big fellow, Naturally Willard does not use his heavy punches against an opponent so much smaller, But he did use them with Monahan, having Walter reeling several times, Monahan is a fast boxer, He leaped into hard punches and turned and dodged as swiftly as he could when Willard went after him. Now and then Willard rushed suddenly and beat Walter back against the ropes, scowling and driving in bis punches with a fury that was more real than assumed, Fat, is he? Good Thing Now That Jess Has Four. Men to Box. Heinen came on for a third round, and this time Willard cut loose in fighting style, He knocked the Chicago heavyweight down four times; and Heinen had a chance to show that he is game, He was heavily battered, and reeling about the ring and apparently ready to drop. that, in bis trainin and commented on Willard’s increased “It's luoky there are four of us now, so strong we'd all be used up if there were any less, round. “Better let me shadow box and you take was good humored with him, and encouraged him to hit as hard and as fast ay showed more than a trace of crimson before time was called, when he was This is the first time Willard has shown a trace of real fighting viclousnessa, if you care to call. it In the concluding round with Monahan he gave his friend Walter a walloping, while the other three, outside the ring, looked on pel. “Jeas is getting Just to show how game he is Monahan offered to go through another ‘ reat,” advised Willard.

By Vincent Treanor. RESTON)\BURCH has the San- ford horses ready to run and win, Judged by the performances of two of them this week at Jamaica. On Monday young Burch sent Alphee to the post, an outsider In the bet- ting, and she made a show of the field of good sprinters which opposed her, and. yesterday the trainer re- peated with Tippity Witchet, who scored in much the same fashion. Of course, both had the benefit of a good ride from the exferienced Tom- my Davies, who rides only too rarely to make his worth to the jockey ranks felt. In both races Davies got away from the post in front and rode the rest of the way snug and intelli. gently, without any luster or bluster. Tippity Witohet's performance was particularly noteworthy for one which was something of a disappoint- ment last season, and unless Handi- capper Vosburgh “breaks his back with weight,” he should hold his own with the best of them up to a mile. In winning the Rainbow Handicap from the odds on choice Lucullite he equalled the track record of 1 114-5 furlongs made by the Belmont it October, Although Lucul- lite carried 126 pounds when he cre-|6 ated the figures, he wasn't equal to the task of shouldering 128 yesterday and running back to that notch, It must be remembered, however, that he was conceding seventeen pounds to Tippity Witchet, and he simply couldn't do that on the latter’s race yesterday, It is to be hoped that Bobby gmith has at last struck his stride. He saw his colors carried home by Benev- olent in the third race, after a most confident ride by Young Stalker, Bob evidently has taught the boy the value of patience, but at that Stalker seemed {0 “lay” too far ou: of it to suit his anxious backers. He was four lengths behind Our ‘lephew and Albert A in the run to the stretch and never made @ move until well around the home turn, When Stalker let Benevolent down he went past the front runners as if they were standing, and came on the rest of the way like a stake horse, STAND AMERICAN LEAGUE, hb.

They took two out of three from the White Sox, three out of four from St. Louis and the same from the Tigers. Just prior to that they had won seven out of eight from Washington and the Athletics. We could not ask for more than that, but whether we could or not we will ask that they give the Indians a thor- ough trimming and relieve this strain for at least a week-end, Though they have finished the mop- piag up of the Browns, the Yanks did not escape without a few scratches. It was a tough job, every game of t! four-day fight. Ernie Shore really had an easier time yesterday than did his predecessors, but there were many moments when uneasy rested the heads of Miller Huggins and the Cols. Ruppert and Huston. Though Shore escaped from the tight places, the Browns touched him up for eleven hits, and there were occasions when things looked squally.

Many argued against the many “blind” features of the Massachusetts links that the greens were not fairly placed for good iron playing. Gil Nicholls was one in this number, “Talk about golf tests,” sald the veteran, “I'd like to see the open go to the Lido Links down on Long Island. Believe me, the total score for four rouads wouldn't break 820, Lido is some course.” Dozens of reasons were advanced at Brae Burn why such @ fine golfer as Francis Oulmet should continu- ally hook his drives, not on just one but four consecutive rounds, The most logical explanation was that the former national open and amateur champlon stood too far from the ball and his driver, being unusually long, lost direction on the downward swing. White Oulmet was hooking his tee shots into trouble Bob MacDonald, the big Scot, who drives the longest ball in America, used a club shorter than Ouimet's and his stance w: directly over the ball. MacDonald's drives were really too far for Brae Burn, a course where the drives must be accurately “placed.” > GENERAL WOOD WON’T ATTEND TOLEDO BOUT. A telegram received at Ni irk from Capt.
