MAYOR SEES NO BARS

“Barring any unforeseen outside interference by the federal government the Willard-Demp-sey boxing match positively will be held in Tolado July 4.” This statement was made by Mayor Cornell Schreiber of Toledo. “I can see no objection whatever to this boxing exhibition.” the mayor said. “It will be a scientific boxing match of limited duration. Each round will be three minutes, followed by one minute of rest. “The United States government, through its encouragement of boxing at army camps and cantonments, has given its absolute indorsement of this form of sport.”
