DEMPSEVS ONSLAUGHT CRUSHES J. WILLARD

A *L

If V

Hew Champion Is Declared the "Fittinest" Guy the Ring Game -~i Ever Knew.

I .1 TOLEDO. O., July 5.—How did Jack it Dempsey pound Champion Jess Wilis lard Into submission in three rounds If And force the toss t£ the towel of de- «. f«at In the Bay View park arena yesterday afternoon? All the world knows si that a new world's champion has en-

Si tered the coveted ring of pugilism, hut & tt'a no answer to the leading question, *f*How did he do It?"

That will hold the greatest interest Jj -0t all those who follow this game *Whlch made Toledo the wildest ctiy in 'tiU* or any other country yesterday. •g It will not require many words to describe what this cool, calculating, pile-driving puncher did in this ring ^8 TMterday. Jack is a one style, or perhaps it might be beter to call him 'M no Style fighter. He is a hooker. The only blows in his fistic repertoire are iaft and right hooks, and the force he IS PUta behind those punches accounted ..®OP the terrific beating that Willard

IPeocived. He simply left hooked and I *iffht hooked the champion to defeat. 1 $ Dempmrir Vara Hooka Only. Ij Dempsur did not Jab atvl only threo I »r four limes did he try an uppercut. I (lit was the hooks to the jaw that sent 1 i Jj^HTiUard Into pugilistic oblivion, ft 4 Dempsey's battle was wonderful to look at. From the time he entered the If ring he surprised many of those who

IsIv,.And

thought they "knew him." He was cool self-possessed, but wore, a serious, thoughtful expression. Unlike Demp*«y, Willard smiled confidently. If a s Cuess were made on what his thoughts jftft*re they probably could have been 4 bunched in these words: "Come in, let's

fhrough

ret this thing over. I want tp get with this young man."' Then when they advanced to the renter of the rincr to receive instructs lions from Referee Ollie FJicord, I

JWatched both men carefully to see if teither exhibited evidence of nervous-

iess. They did not, but it was plain see that both were determined to Allow no outward signs of nervousness to show.

Willard paid no particular attention to this young upstart who dealt him the most terrific punishment he ever has received in the ring:. But Dempsey 9 «id pay attention to Willard.

Dempsey Stvdln Ilia Mail.

i- While Picord was telling them what Toledo boxing commission rules mean, •if 1 saw Dempsey, keen eyed, sizing up a ,,the champion. His eyes traveled from A the feet of "Willard to the tof» of tlie k, Champion's head. It was easv to tell i?$ that he was making a calculating

Study of big .Tess to use a few minutes S3 after, when the gong started them to /notion.

With the clang of that gong there Came more surprises. Everybody, and this includes the wise ring birds, expected Dempsey to t/?ar in cyclonically, smashing left and right hooks to the head and body. i

that is

J"»t what Jack didn't do.

js.. P® allowed Willard to peg him with a J| not Jab in the nose and backed up. A'' jTCinST Jess to do the leading. Tie flid that for forty seconds, then sud*nly he broke through the champion's fMffar*th1 th»n disaster came to Wil-

Takea to the Offenatve.

One right hook caught Jess in the *ars and he winced. Quickly following that right, Jack sent his left,hook to **he Jaw. Willard went to the floor.

The champion was badly dazed but not |ut.. He remained down for seven seconds. The expression on his face was that of the most surprised man in the World. He could not believe ha had peen knocked down.

Dempsey knew then that he had his tnan's number. He did not dash in t, *r}Wly and fire wildly. He worked

Jrith decision and measured big Jess for every punch. How well he did that f' Is told elsewhere, where it is recorded that Dempsey knocked the champion

Mown six times. "The first knockdown came in exactly ten seconds. The last left Willard laying oa the canvas in a neutral cor-

DEMPSEY'S MOTHER IKIEDJ# RESULT

Declares He "Was a Good Boy', and Deserved Good Luck la

His Battle.

SALT LAKK CITY, Utah. July 5.— Mrs. Hiram Dempsey, mother of the new heavyweight champion, was too ill to receive visitors, but when notified of the result of the Toledo battle she sent word that she was "naturally gratified at the result and had all along believed in precisely, this ,outcome." 1

She supplemented this with the motherly expression that "Jack was a good boy and deserved his good luck."

When Dempsey began to make money at the business of fighting with gloves he saved enough to pur-I hase a modern home in the southern part of the city, and this he presented to his mother.

Hon* City Fight Mad.

Salt Lake City was fight mad. The absolute suspension of business for the three day holiday period gave the sporting fraternity a full chancfe to watch the bulletin boards, and the crowd about the newspaperf offices have not been equaled since^the day of the signing of the armistice with Germany.

Naturally the bulls of the money wagered locally was on Dempsev and considerable sums changed hands. Despite the fact that this is Dempsey's home town, however, the total of cash wagered will not reach the amounts placed four years ago.

Willard's supporters hereabouts were amazed at the outcome of the fight, but nowhere was there a disposition to detract from Dempsey's victory.

Mr*. Willard nt ffghtt

LAWRENCE, Kas., July 5.—Mrs. Jess Willard saw her husband throw up the sponge in Toledo, according to an announcement here todav' by Mrs K S. Post, nurse of the Willard children from Chicago. Mrs, Post said the knockout of the champion was a gr^at surprise to her 'and his familv Mrs Willard went to the Hight and gave orders to the uurse to keep her whereabouts Unknown.

Pokea' WANT A MEDAL*

Tn the fiTst few seconds of the contest it looked as if the experts had been assigned to keep detailed account i of all blows struck might come measureably close to doing so. but it was only for a fraction of a moment. After I that the experts did well to count Jack's blows, let alone take note of how each was made. The challenger knocked the big fellow down five times in the first round, and had him hanging helplessly on the ropes or draped over his own shoulder most of the time when he was not taking advantage of the count.

The crowd thought the ngnt was over in that round. Willard was down for the fifth time and the count was apparently about to end when the gong sounded. It was a modest gong which could not make itself heard before so many people, and even Dempsey did not get it. He crawled through the ropes and was headed out on to the shoulders of screaming fans when the truth was broken to him and he was called back into the ring.

Such fighting as the Kansas ranchman produced was placed on exhibition at the onset. He stood in his corner a picture of confidence. His smile seemed that of one who had a brief and not unpleasant task before him. He certainly was all set to go, for just before time was called he was heard to remark: "Let's get this thing over."

Attendance Is Disappointing. IfTp measured the attendance, which disappointed estimates by about ^0 per cent, with an appraising eye.

Dempsey presented a contrast. None of the confidence of his training camp statements appeared in his bearing. The man across the ring from him outweighed him 40 pounds and looked as big and impregnable as a metropolitan bank building. The mood of the challenger. was plainly thoughtful and more than one ringside gazer whispered: "He's licked right now."

When they were introduced Jess sauntered over with the cordial manner of one desiring to reassure a youngster and took his hands in the friendliest way. Jack's handshake was friendly, too, just then but it was the last token of friendship, for those gloves a minute or so later were using Willard for a chopping block and some in the crowd were crying: *4Stop it! Stop it! It's plain murder!"

Dempsey's first effective blows and the ones which apparently settled Willard's fate were a right over Jess' shoulder to the jaw, a left to the body and a right to the jaw. .Tess staggered. His eye was closing and he reeled, and the challenger, with all the energy of his budding youth, began hitting 'him at will.

Jl Many Seats I'noccupicd. The attendance was below expectations. Seats were built for 80.000, and the estimate was that not more than Jialf of these were occupied. Speculators lost heavily-. They resold their tickets at anything from $5 to $15 less than gate prices. No betting was reported at the ring side, nor was there much elsewhere so fat as* could be ascertained.

Tex Rickard said he did not expect to be able to prepare a statement on the receipts before tomorrow. The arena was so huge and the attendance so scattered about in it that even experts differ in opinion as to the number in attendance.

The heat of the day was terrific, intensified as it was by the vast acreage of green lumber. During the preliminary bouts, which lasted from 11 o'clock until 2: 10. a thermometer exposed as were the spectators and fighters jumped to 120 degrees, which was the limit of what the instrument could

DETAILED REPORT OF THE BATTLE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

TOLEDO, O., July 5.—By virtue of one of the speediest and most onesided battles which ever decided a bi% (istic event, Jack Dempsey, who may now wish to be known by his full voting name

vof

William Harrison

Dempsey, today became the World'B champion heavyweight boxer. To all intents and purposes he whipped the huge .Tess Willard, favorite in the meagre betting, in one round. Dempsev thought the referee had announced him winner and actually left the ring. But he was called back and the butchery continued for two rounds more, when Jess, sitting in his corner with a bewildered look 011 his swollen countenance, failed to respond to the gong for the fourth round. "It was no use to continue," said the former champion. "My strength went if oca me ,in the first round."

Uigr Man Is Surprised.

He sat there apparently the most surprised man in the United states at the moment. His right evts was closed and his right cheek swollen and blue with bruises.

Blood covered his body and his arms hung so helplessly over the ropes that it seemed as if a child might give him further abuse without arousing his interest.

Dempsey was breathing hard when the fight ended, but it was from exertion, and not from ^punishment. He escaped almost unhurt, but as ne had been using his arms like trip-hammers 011 the anatomy of his opponent for nine crowded minutes in a temperature with the thermometer at 110 degrees, his heart was still pumping at hign pressure and he appreciated the breathing spell. v Start Indicate* Slow Work.

record. It showed 110 degrees when Willard and Dempsey entered the »ing. When Dempsey was proclaimed winner the crowd surged on to the mat in a wild scramble to shake the hand of the new champion. At times some of them toppled over on the telegraphers and reporters just below, who were struggling in the mad disorder to report w hat had happened.

I KlKhters Leave Scene. 1 ToTIce eventually dispersed them by hustling Dempsey away. Willard was taken to an automobile and disappeared from view of the crowd which then itself began the task of covering the four miles from the arena «to the city as best it could by street car, automobile or on foot.

While the passing of the heavyweight championship was one of the most dramatic events of modern ring history, it was lacking entirely in hierh class boxing. With the exception of the first three snappy left jabs with which Willard opened the contest, the combat was simply a series of terrific drives and smashes, virtually all of which were delivered by Dempsey.

The first of these crashing swings to land on Willard's jaw and body appeared to completely daze and take away from the title-holder all power to either protect hhnself or fight back, as had been expected by his admirers. Whether he could have stood up better undor the battering of Dempsey a few years ago will always be a mooted question in the years to come when today's battle is discussed. ft cannot be denied, however, that Willard was in good condition and displayed gameness up to the moment that his second persuaded him to relinquish the championship to Dempsey. This was demonstrated by the fact that the Kansas giant received in nine minutes of. fighting far more punishment than did Jeffries at the hands of Jack Johnson in their bout at Reno. Even after the disastrous ending of the first round, Willard flashed a momentary come-back in the second which for a few seconds led to the belief among his supporters that he would weather the storm and carry the battle along 011 even terms for a few sessions at least.

It was the last flicker of a-spirit which was stronger than the flesh. Another sweeping right arm smash that flew over Willard's shoulder and landed fTUsh on his swollen, bleeding jaw. took the last ounce of resistance out of the giant and made his downfall a matter of but minutes.

Speed la Dempsey's Weapon. A11 analysis of the newly crowned champion show^ nothing new in his fighting methods. He tore into his opponent at top speed, as has always been his fighting custom, and simplv battered his way to the pinnacle of pugilism by the speed of his blows and the overwhelming power that traveled trom the huge shouldfer muscles down through the brawny arms and into the clinched firsts armored with fire-ounce gloves. He made little or no attempt at defensive work lind not more than five or six times during the nine minutes of battling did he resort to foot work to avoid Willard.

Once the new canvas was stretched there was little delay in bringing the principals into the ring. Dempsev appeared at 3:25 o'clock and Willard a minute later. They* were stripped, ready for action, Willard wearing short, tight-fitting blue worsted trunks, with an American flag belt, whil* Dempsey wore short loose trunks like those of a sprinter.

During the few preliminary details both were covered with huge umbrellas to keep the sun from their uncovered heads. At nine minutes after four the weak gong, which later caused so much confusion, clanged and the battle was an.. V

Twelve Points *fo BHdgeton. The Twelve Points club will plav at Bridgeton Sunday, July 6, all players will meet at Sharps smoke house at T£ o'clock Sunday.

WHAT FIGHTERS

HAVE TO SAY

TOLEDO. O.. .Inly B.—After the fight Willard made the following stntement: "In the first round, when

The visitors outhit the locals in this contest, but their numerous errors overcome this advantage.

How Runs Were Scored.

The Browns got their first run in the first inning of Itlie first game. Ijoney singled and O Berta followed suit. Farrell reached first on a sacrifice, when an effort "was made to catch Loney at third. This filled the sacks and Schulte wp.s then walked, forcing Loney across the plate. This ended the scoring in the first.

The second tally for the home boys came in the third. Henry hit for two bases and went on to third on an infield hit .by Martin, after Krehmyer had struck out. Henry scored, while Martin was throwiTout in an effort to steal second base.
