WILLARD PULLS OFF FEW BRAGS

What He Is Going To Do To Dempsey Is a Terrible Thing.

By O. MEWKE . XSTFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICEI TOLEDO. O, June 13. "Have you outlined any plan of battle for use against Jack Dempsey on the Fourth?" The question rut to Jess Willard elicited this reply: "What's the use? I have never seen Dempsey fight and don't know his method of attack. Therefore I'll go into that battle with the idea of spending: a round or two -in finding out what this fellow has. By that time I'll be ready to fro out and get him." "You are still supcrmcly confident of victory?" wa asked. "Never surer of anything: in my whole life." smiled the champion in reply. "And I'll tell you the reasons for my confidence. I'm hitting harder today

than ever before in my life, I've got two new punches a left uppercut and a left hook that will damage Dempsey. and I'll be in such shape on the 4th that no matter how fast that boy travels I'll keep step with him. "Dempsey is figuring: that he can hurt me perhaps even bring: me down with body punches. Well, let him try to his sorrow. My stomach right now is as hard as concrete. I have been taking the hardest wallops that Hemple and Monahan have been shooting in at me --and they haven't even forced me to take a long breath. Dempsey is quite a hitter. I am told but so Is Monahan. And don't let anone tell you otherwise." ' Perhaps he'll clip you on the Jaw." someone suggested. "I expect he will but if he figures that a clip on the Jaw is going to win for him he may suffer a great disap--pointment. - Jack Johnson hit ma on the Jaw on every part of the Jaw. But ho never dropped me. And Jack hit hard. One wallop tarried such crushing force

j tiiiti ti iTrunr my jaw punr I'm t uiyil do down. That ought to . convince ' a

few skeptics that I can take some beatins, shouldn't it?" Willard's new left hook has been in evidence during the last week or so, but it hasn't caused an awful lot of cn-

! thusiasm among his admirers. That is

largely because Jess Just now is a bit clumsy in its delivery. And the same thing is true concerning his left uppercut. ' "I think I'll flash more boxing skill against Dempsey than in my other fight of my career." concluded W i'.tard. "I ni-ver took a boxing lesson in my life. All I know I have picked up by experience, or by watching other fellows.

CUDAHY SOCIAL AND

ATHLETIC CLUB TO PICNIC

The first annual picnic of the Cudahy Tacking Co. employes will be held uhder the auspices of their newly, formed social club at Michigan City, June 14.

On June 21 the AriMos, who have not jet lost a game, will play at Hammond. A. Te.chkmeyer. a fielder from Cincinnati, was out for practice with Nagel's boys Sunday. June 2 will be Hammond's first Saturday game. They will play Gunther Tark on the latter's grounds. It will also" be the first game away from home. By the way Paddy Driscnll is with the Gunther Park team now. The old Hammond favortte finished "gopbing" with the Great Lakes team last week and was grabbed by the Gunthers bofore Nagel could get to him. A return game will bo played wlih the Hawthorucs. June 2). They put up such a fight two weks ago that another neck-and-neck race is expected.

Baichley's fingers are in tip-top shape 1'or Sunday's game with the Kngen A. C. On July 6 fans will bt able to see what a hearty grudge Kaplin and Geisman hold against J. J. Nagel when they bring the Magnets back for another bout with Hammond. Pierce and nucll-

eye will fight it out. Kennedy Is another handy lad t have around. He has been responsible for breaking up two games already. Rhode can't keep out ef the game. He'll probably be on the Job for Sunday. The only changes in this week's batting averages are O'Neil climbing te second place and Callahan tieing Rhode for third. The rest of the players keep exactly the same positions as they held last weak. The averages to date. Including last Sunday's game, are aa follows: ab. r. h. tb. bb. sh. sb. Pet.

The Ragens appear to have a better club nothan they had at the start of the season as they have strengthened their lineup with the addition of "Eddie" Stack, former Cub pitcher who beat So. Chicago last week in an eleven inning game. Stack struck out ten of South Chicago's leading stickers and outpitched Billy Mack all the way. Eddie said at last Monday night's meeting that he will be in flne trim next Sunday as he is coming out prepared to administer' Hammond their first defeat of the sea-j on.

a few Ivery hesds from heaving a brlck bat at it now and then. The latest attempt to discredit the biffing game turned out to be miserable failures. As a result of thorn Kred Fulton and Jack Johnsen have been relegated to the dismal confines of the In Bad Club. Fulton's confession that his fight with Dempsey was a fake acted like a boomerang. It came circling back and blacked both his es, not to mention his reputetion. Johnson's silly attempt to put over a bit of cheap and Inane publicity was branded broadcast as the most asinine play the former champion ever made. Like Fulton, Johnson has erased the last chance he ever had of making any more money out of boxing in thi-i man's country. He is absolutely all in, down and out. Fulton didn't hurt anybody but himself when he tried the confession gag. Johnson didn't hurt anybody but Johnson, and for once the boxing game succeeded in ducking a wild ritch. It is a peculiar coincidence that attempts to rut across fabrications which would hurt the boxing game if they were to be given credence should come from two men who have always been greatly over-rated. Fulton, for instance .was foisted on

the public as a heavyweight of true fighting caliber, and his sponsors got away with it for a while. In reality Fulton is a weak-hearted fighter of the pronounced type. It is doubtful whether he ever could have been persuaaed to take up boxing if he hadn't been kidded into believing that he was too big to get hurt. Johnson, too, was greatly over-rated. He was never as good a fighter as Sam Langford or Joe Jeanette, of his own race, and though he licked men like Sam McVey, Sandy Ferguson and Tommy Burns who was a little man and a chance champion at best he never proved conclusively that he had any claim to greatness. Langford almost killed him at Chelsea, Mass., back in 1906, and Johnson would never meet the Boston Tar Baby again. Joe Choynskt knocked him out In 1901 and Marvin Hart won a decision over him on .points. When Johnson met Jeffries poor Jim waa a physical and nervous wreck. Otherwise the story of that fight would have been different. And when he faced Willard he didn't have a show. And to think that two over-rated. Illadvised men would try to put over the hoaxes that Fred and Jack tried to slip across on the boxing public is to laugh long and loud.

To the very smallest detail, the Chevrolet reflects the ideals of the makers to produce a really high grade car at a popular price. That the Chevrolet is more commonly compared with cars selling at much higher prices is justification for the conscientious efforts of its manufacturer. The new model Chevrolet "Four Ninety" Touring Car'and Roadster, attain a standard of excellence uncommon of cars at these prices. This is a claim Ave would be delighted to prove we could ask no greater favor than to do so. Would you have a good-looking car? The Chevrolet has it in full measure. Would you have strength ? Vanadium steel is used wherever unusual strength is required. Would you have comfort f Proper spring suspension together with comfortable upholstering and roominess meet your comfort-wishes to the fullest degree. Would you have power and low upkeep? The wonderful valve-in-head motor with which each Chevrolet is equipped provides power far in excess of ordinary requirement or emergency; and the direct-application-of -power principle insures maximum power on minimum fuel. Twenty-five miles per gallon is a common thing for this Chevrolet. And the car is fully equippcrt. Suppose you let us demonstrate that we have not overstated Chevrolet quality.
