Regardless, however, of all this line, I will taxi out to the camps of the scrappers after a scramble In some hash house this noon, and try and see for myself howithe hoys loom up. Then I'll try and enlighten the gangi -back home. If Willard isn't in the old pink I'll say so, for neither he nor Dempsey would stoop to manhandle a mere scribe, that is, unless a suitable purse was offered. Dempsey I know, having met him at the Grand opera house back home some months ago. and

I feel sure he will be only too willing to tip me off as to his version of the outcome. It will be. and you can bet your last thin dime on this* '7L will win."

TRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR LOOKS OVER FIGHTERS AT TOLEDO TODAY

Finds Scene of Title Fight Friday Alive With fistic Fans From All Over Country—Badly Divided as to Outcome—Betting Livens Up

By Ralph H. White.

TOLEDO, O., July 2.—Although Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey are tapering off in their training for the big mill here Friday, both are to work out this afternoon, largely, I think, because of the "four-bit" pieces they can get from a town full of fistic fans from all over this country of ours. Anyhow, I'll be out there, and tomorrow I will try and give The Tribune readers a little "close-up" stuff as to their real physical condition.

Dope has both fighters fit, but those who are expressing themselves in a betting way are leaning somewhat toward Dempsey, despite the championship angle that naturally should install the big fellow the favorite. Hero's how one former Terre Hautean, Benny Weiss, who is residing in Toledo and who has played the training camps dally, telhs it: "Dempsey, every one knows, couldn't be in better shape. He's worKect hard. That isn't what Willard has done. True, he has gone through the routine. but he long ago cut out road work, and I don't think he has put everything he has in his training. Like thousands of others, I thought Wilfard would win at the start, but after seeing Dempsey I have changed my mind. I'll bet you do when you see him this afternoon."

especially in the downtown district, and they are getting an awful play. There is plenty of Willard coin and apparently plenty of Dempsey "velvet," but the backers of the challenger are stalling for letter odds. It is predicted that Jack will be a ringside choice, although right now the odds are in the champ's favor. It's simply a question of getting all possible for one's money, and who can biame the gUys who are willing to go down with the Ogden, Utah, slugger?

Some time ago startling reporta were sent broadcast to the effect that Dempsey tipped the beam at 201 pounds with nothing on outside of a gym suit. Don't oelieve it. At least, the wise' boys of this town say there sho"uld be a grain of salt taken with said statement. And Willard, too, isn't down to 245 pounds or so, say the "sharks." The idea is to equalize the weight aa much as possible^ so as not to make it necessary to offer big odds. Like Ike Ades, back home, said: "They will light a draw and later a finish fight in either Mexico or Cuba," so say a raft of Toledo ring followers I have met.

Built at a cost of $150,000, the structure includes 1,750,000 feet or lurnDer and hundreds of kegs of* nails and bolts, .the combined, weight of which runs into many hundreds of tons. In addition to the 80.000 spectators Who can be seated comfortablv. there is standing room for close to 20,000 more, so that the total capacity approaches the 100J300 mark. Four times the'size of the Reno fight stadium, it measures a littl« over 600 feet across, and the farthest seat is just 290 feet from the center of the ring. There are 24 miles of seats, andf the grade or rise is such that the'face of each spectator will appear just above the head of the person in front, giving the effect of a sea" of faces when viewed from the ring.

Great as the care with which the entire arena has been constructed, attention has been fairly lavished upon the ring in which the heavyweight championship of the world will "be contested. It will rise five feet above the

"Jf has never been hit as hard as he will be when Dempsey lands on him and don't think he will like it. No fighter who is not accustomed to being clouted hard can take the kind of wallops Jack,* will send his way and bear up under them. Jess will think a Kansas cyclone struck him when Jack starts."
