Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). J‘« DEMPSEY boxed a couple of rounds with Terry Keller yesterday for the moving pictures. Jack's moving picture boxing is a lot like fighting, He knows only one way to handle the gloves. So Terry took « beating, Dempsey has a kind heart but a wicked punch. He fs all the better for his rest from poxing and will start again to-morrow chuck full of pep, Keller landed a few hard punches, but Dempsey's eye came through without damage, so it is probably healed enough to stand the rest of the training. There is a tremendous interest in the young challenger, Although nobody in Toledo expected to see him do more than shadow box and punch the bag a bit, there were about a thousand auto- mobiles packed around his camp at 3.30, his customary training time, The enclosure around his ring ‘was packed with spectators, as it is every day. to-morrow when he begins his regular routine of boxing again with Tate and Jamaica and Keller, they will have to move the canvas walls back to ite the crowd. ‘Willard went through # bard workout and weighed in afterward at exactly 243 poyndg, s! He says thinks hardening up from now, on will take off ety itt coors tat, ‘Will build up his muscles at the} same time, so that he will enter the ring weighing about 245, ‘Willard has cut out his road work entirely, Asked for his reason he “I don't believe in road work for a heavyweight, and especially for a man of my size, It never did me any good, “A Reavyweight ought to box all the time and cut the road work out. T'm not going to run myself lame and leave my Vitality on the road like some of the other heavyweights I've heard of. For a man of my weight road work is absolutely no good.” ,. Jess started his boxing with Jack Hempel, Jack weighed 198 when he came to Toledo. He weighs 187 now and is so lean it seems impossible '|he can work off qnother pound, He is a sturdy, rugged fellow, always ready for any kind of gruelling. He fought Willard as hard as he could, Janded some hard cracks and took many a hard thump in return. A funny thing about this training is the way all Willard’s partners are @osing | weight. Though the big fellow doesn’t drop many pounds he wears out all the men who work with him, Between rounds Willard moved around the ring, stepping fast and) shadow-boxing. He never rests much during his workouts now. His, next opponent was Heinen. The dig Chicagoan has lost a lot of weight and gained speed. He landed some hard swings on Willard and the) champion rushed and made a regular fight of it, But he refrained from altpping over the short right chat dropped Heinen in all his other bouts, Willard Likes to Box With Joe Chip. Joe Chip followed with two rounds, Willard likes to box with the little fellow, who weighs 161 pounds. Chip is fast and a good.hitter. He went at Jess aggressively, fighting like a game cock, leaping into the air to reach Willard’s dhin with hooks that landed solidly. Willard has cut out the comedy in the past few days. The only time he smiled was when he caught Chip in the second round and in spite of his struggies lifted him up and put him on top of the ropes, The two rounds with Chip were very fast, In the rests Jess jigged about the ring. The day was one of the hottest and most sultry we have had, although at times clouds covered the sun. : ‘When Chip was through, Heinen came on again and this time Willard tore into him harder than ever. Heinen took spme heavy wallops and once was hit so hard with a left hook in the body that he bent over and clinched until he recovered, while Willard let up to give him a chance. Monahan boxed two rounds, Monahan is getting muoh faster and hit- ting harder, Some of hia right hand swings caught Jess fairly on the chin and aroused the big fellow to a series of rushes and slugging mix-ups that two or three times left Monahan stranded on the ropes, ‘The moment the eight rounde were over Willard shadow-boxed for three minutes. He says that shadow-boxing one round is as hard as fight- ing two rounds, “In a fight you have @ series of short rests while you are waiting for the other fellow to lead,” he explained, “and in shadow-boxing you are moving all the time, In a fight you strike out, and when you land your arm stops. In shadow-boxing you are hitting at the air and your arm fol- lows through without resistance, putting @ strain on all your muscles.” Looks as Though Willard’s Solar Plexus Is 0. K. Then came a rather spectacular stunt, Willard stood with his arms extended while Monahan stood six or eight feet away and hurled the heavy | medicine ball with all his strength against Willard’s solar plexus, The admitted | ball struck with a loud thump that showed how much strength was used. | It didn't even shake the big fellow, When three minutes of this work was over Willard's body was black with the dust the ball picked up from the ring floor. Jess wasn't even breathing hard. Between throws he feinted at Monahan and kept moving about as if in a fight, but the instant the ball started he straightened up and pushed his body forward to meet it with all possible force, He finished by wrestling with Hempel, roughing | it all over the ring. He seemed to enjoy this work, joking with the pho-| cate fas fy pictures, In all this made twelve rounds of work, and as Jess never stopped moving between rounds he was in continuous action for forty-eight minutes, Charles Edward Wiggins, known as Chuck, local middle-weight, known throughout the country as a fast and clever boxer, saw Willard and Dempsey work yesterday. Wiggins thinks Dempsey has a first-class chance to win, He says that in the present condition of the two men ‘Dempsey is Willard'’s equal in speed and strength and bis superior in endurance. Tex prised to find the champion weighing only 248 pounds, but thinks he needs road work. He says the champion's condition at Havana was absolutely perfect and that even if Willard comes down to his Havana weight he will lack some of the toughness and stamina he had then, ‘Tex says Willard's ringside weight was exactly 243% pounds. After the workout Willard said he wasn't satisfied with his performance. | HE EVENING WORLD, BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK A DAY WITH JESS WILLARD Copyright, 1919, by the Press Publishing Co.

Walker, Twenty-Year-Old Star, by One Stroke in Qual- ifying Round of Invitation Tourney. By William Abbott. is @ tradition at Fox Hills that August Kammer will annex chief honors in most of the club's tour. naments. No matter how many ~or how tough his opponents, this club swinger works his charm at the Staten Island course, and the club meets usually turn out to be Kam- mer benefits. One hundred and three golfers, the largest field that ever competed, started yesterday in the qualifying jround of the Fox Hills invitation tournament. ‘There were some pretty nifty performers on the firing line, including A. L. Walker, the twenty- year-old youth who battled with Oswald Kirkby in the finals for the recent Metropolitan Championship. Kammer was paired with this young wizard, Farly in the match it looked like the old Kammer tradition would be reversed for the first time. The home club star wasn't very accurate with his irons, the penalty being forty strokes at the turn, Walker, mean- while, was shgoting right down the middle of the alley and was two strokes under his formidable oppo- nent. It was a dffferent story on the last nine holes, Kammer, gaining full control of his strokes, played like Walter Hagen, and then some for good measure. He improved with the going and helped himself to fine 3's on the sixteenth and seventeenth, Kammer’s homeward irip was cov- ered in 35, which made his score 75 for the eighteen-hole qualifying test. ‘This won the medal, It was just one stroke better than Walker, who reeled off a pair of 38's, ‘Kammer’s sensational finish simply showed that ence more the old tradition was on the job. Qualifying scores ran low, due to the fact that the tournament com- mittee wished to encou: every one and made the course ai Y as pos- sible, But.it will only be a dne-day golfers’ paradise, For the match play rounds to-day and to morrow tho tees will be set back and cups placed in difficult spots on the greens, and oh, boy! what a different tale the score cards will tell. ‘The pairings for the first sixteen to-day are as follows: August Kam- mer v8.
