Not @ single accident has interfered with any detail of the great champion- ship matoh. Under Tex Rickard's direction the whole affair has moved with astonishing smoothness and ease, Whatever slight opposition dhere’ wae weeks ago has disappeared. In place of it a great wave of en- thuslasm has swept the country and especially this conservative State of Ohio. The only thing left to cause any discussion at all is the problem of the winner, I have followed boxing and have seen every cham- ip of importance for twenty-five years and I don't remember any other fight in which public opinion has been so sharply divided. Dempsey hag been a sentimental favorite. This is natural, for he is the smaller man Because of his bulk Willard has stood alone, since he wen the championship from Jack Johnson at Havana, It has seemed ridioulous for any ordinary Heavyweight to challenge him or to be matched with him, In all the history of the world public favor has been with the smaller tan or the weaker in any fight.
