DEMPSEV WEIGHS 201 KITING ODDS CHANGE

Jack's Poundage Startlei Boxing World, and It's Even Honey Now, According to Dope.

TCJLE'DO, O., June IS.'—This young Jack Dempsey who makes the supreme •Sort on July 4 against World's Champion Jess Willard handed the fistic exp«rts of the country who have assembled here a knockout yesterday afternoon. It wasn't the kind of a K. O. that Dempsey hopes to hang on the chin of Willard, but its effects were almost as stunning. Deranscy got on th« scales, the indicator spun around, And It did not stop until it landed at the flflhires 201.

Not a single man in this town, and there are many who are steeped in knowledge of pugilism, could stretch their imagination to the extent where they could believe Dempsey a double century man. He wore only swimming trunks and shoes when he stepped ou the scales. His actual poundage is ft Cured at 200, the trunks weighing the other pound.

As he stood on the machine platform the critical observers around him looked through popping

eyes

as if

Watching something impossible. Surpasses Highest Uuess* Here's a fighter in wonderful cond. tlon right now and weighing at least ten pounds more than was expected. When the scribes got out to the Maumee Bay camp at noon to partake of a fried chicken and spaghetti feast doled out by Dempsey's chef, Nick Aibanes, a little argument was started over the Challenger's weight. It was continued until the scribes were outside of much food and considerable punclu

The highest figures that any one guessed on Dempsey's poundage was 116 and sbme even were as low as 185 pounds. Dempsey's manager. Jack Kearns, listened to the harranging crew and smiled. It was more of a cunning grin, indicating that Kearns Md Dempsey, who was standing by his si***, hart something no their sleeves.

Kearns took care of the conversational I* to tlie Dempsey entourage. "What would you fellows think if were to tell you that all your guessis bad?" said Kearns "Why, you are away oft» Tou think that Dempsey is a little fellow, don't you? a fellow weighing about 190 pounds or less. Well, Jack weighs 200 pounds at this minute."

Did any one believe it? They did not and a chorus of "You'll have to show US" came from the experts. Dempsey did the rest. He hopped on the scales and what the machine showed already has been told.

The weight test makes it apparent that the man who fights Willard for the title will part the ropes on July 4 to do battle weighing about 196 pounds. Talking with Chief Trainer Jimmy DeForest. this was the information he Imparted. DeForest would not be at all surprised if Dempsey went into the rin* weighing one or two pounds more than this, for Jack is actually growing and taking on weight from day to day.

Difference In Viewpoint.

'"-Where there is Joy in W illard'a casino camp when Big Jess takes off a pound, there's equal joy at Maumee

Bay when Jack takes on a pound. Every move by Dempsey indicates that he has attained perfect condition and -the only thing desired is greater heft.

Now that he Is getting that wish, •there's only one thing wanted, and that is to get this little controversy of July 4 orer with.

This man who aspires to the title of "Jack the Giant Killer," it will readily be seen, is not going to be such a little man after all when he fights Willard. The quietus was put on the talk Of Dempsey being outweighed some 65 or 70 pounds today. The difference in weight of this huge battler will not be more than 45 pounds and it is within ~ange of possibility that it may be less than thst.

Dempsey passes most of the day lolling around the beach when he does appear in his abbreviated training flints, which consist of road work, aadow boxing and bag punching. He 'as standing on the beach yesterday afternoon when Kearns gazing at his broad muscle-lined shoulders renarked: "Look at those shoulders and those arms. His shoulders are just as big as Willard's and just as powerful. A lot of peope seem to think that big champion is going to wear Jack down hr shoulder and arm strength in the Close work. That's all wrong. Jess «sn*t going to bull Jack around that .way. If he tries it, he will find his imatch for Jack will throw him around a bit himself."

With Dempsey a 200-pounder the pendulum that swings the betting rrowd swung around sharply and once more the dope is that the odds on this light should be even money. The sup-

adding some fast new material. Manager Langley, of the Cescos—The Columbian Knameling. and Stamping Co.'a club—has formed a strong Baseball playing organization which very probably tviil make any of the semipro clubs hereabouts set up and take notice. Two or three players who have been counted as the -strong men on the Indiana State Normal and Rose Poly teams are now named among the Cesco players. Kerr, who has a fine record as a college pitcher, has been added to the Cesco pitching staff although Sullivan, veteran Cesco pitcher, has had a wonderful lot of success this year.

The Cescos have won the last four games which they played and all were played out of the city. They are scheduled to go to Vincennes, Ind., as part of a special July 4th program, and Casey. 111., is to open its season paying the club a: Casey. 4 #The club would like to hear from ,jput-of-1he-c.ity ciubs with regards to dates.

Delotelle and Leyme were the opposing pitchers and each was found for nine hits. Three errors behind the latter figured in the outcome, in fact, it was all in the last half of the seventh when the visitors kicked two chances, paving the way for three runs. Another followed in the eighth. Score:

one worth while.

Jack Dempsey's weight, 201 pounds, comes as a surprise to Terre Haute fistic followers, in fact, the poundage of the challenger has upset the dope from coa»t to coast. Furthermore, betting is bound to be hit by the unexpected figure as the difference in weight between Jack ar.d Jess will not be more than fifty pounds on the afternoon of the Fourth. When in Terre Haute in the early spring I asked Dempsey as to his weight and he naid he would be lucky to tip the beam at 195 pounds. Of course, he had been traveling for weeks, but he has also been training at a strenuous clip, so the difference is surprising, every angle considered.

Defeat Bill Aimed at Championship Go

TOLEDO, O., June 18.—Tex Rickard, promoter of the heavyweight championship contest between Jesse Willard and Jack Dempsey here July 4, today expressed his satisfaction over the defeat of the bill in the Ohio legislature last -night, which, if passed, would have empowered Gov. Cox to prevent the match.

Willard today received word from "Steamboat Bill" Scott, a light heavyweight, who has just returned from France, expressing his willingness to join the champion's staff of sparring partners immediately upon his discharge from the service at Camp Sherman. Scott formerly was a sparring mate of Willard's.

Willard has a new sparring partner in camp who promises to be of valuable assistance. The new addition is Joe Chip, a middleweight of Newcastle, Pa. He is fast, let's his punches fly from all angles and half a dozen

times yesterday caught the champion with stinging blows.

COLUMBUS, O.. June IS —The Otilo legislature last night refused to interfere with the Willard-Dempsey prize fight at Toledo, July 4. The house of representatives by a vote of *7 for to 29 against defeated the Dunn bill that would have given Governor Cox authority to revoke the permit issued by the city of Toledo, if in his judgment this proposed bout would be a prize figHt. Sixty-three votes were needed for passage.

Representative Dunn, however, made a motion to reconsider the vote and this motion probably will be taken up today. Should the bill be passed tomorrow on reconsideration, it is not believed that the emergency clause, while it carries and which would make it effective at once, will be adopted inasmuch as 83 votes are required to pass it as an emergency. Unless the bill is passed as an emergency, it would not become effective for ninety days.
