By PRANK Gh MXNXE tSTFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICE1 TOLEDO. O.. June 13. - Jess WulirJ v-en't be Havana condition when he f.crhts Jack DempFey; he will be a dozen notches beyond it," declared "Walter Monahan today. And "Waiter, who trainfd the champion for the Jack Johnson bat Mo ana it performing like chores now, ought t Ur.aw a lot about it. "It may seem Ftranpe to some." added Monahan. "that Jess can be bttter in 119 than he as four years earlier I ut It's true. And there's really nothing strange about it when all the facts

ore considered. Jess never took a box- ; in? lesson in his life. All he knows r.hout the game is what he learned in j the ring, in his circus work or in training camp. "When a man has been study- ' ing his chosen profession, as Js has. j isn't it logical to assume that he is a j far better ring man today than he was tn 1915? "It's true that Jess has fought but j once professionally since he won the ! title. But Jess has been boxing almo.-t , constantly since that time, and through ; all the weeks and months of circus con- i ruction he experimented with new ) launches, new shifts. new defensive ' tactics and ne wmethods of scoring oer an opponent. Instead of being idle lor four years, as the public assumes, Jt: ; Villard in reality has b- en learning j more and more about his work until now he is a master. j ' That part of the public which is , rkentical as to the ability of Willard -to j

That s ns"ht. broke in Jack Hempei, the other sparring partiur of the champion. "'The improvement of AVillard since he fought Johnson is bcwilderins. He hits harder than he ever did before: j his punche scomc faster and his dfns3 j is the most remarkable I tver tried to'

penetrate. He is a hundred p:-r cent better than he was in Havana and he was good then." "I look for Jess to win and without an awful lot of trouble," interrupted Monahan. "None of us are spooting Pempsey. AVe recognize in him a first class fighter and I guess that boy can hurt when he hits. too. But he must hit Jess to hurt him and hitting the b;s

fellow is the job that I Dempsey can handle. Oh,

pears like a mark for "Willard's three best punches a straight left, a right cross and an urpercut with either hand. "Dempsey's open style, with head down, seems to be just made for uppercuts of the kind that Jess specializes in. If Jess hooks Jack with one of them, propelled with all the force of his great body, it will be good night for Dempsey right there and then. Xo man ever stood under one and I don't figure that Dempscy can prove the exception."

JIanager Xagel succeeded in bookingone of the best attractions of the season when he scheduled the Aristos, famous traveling team for next Sunday. This club is undpr the able lealer?Ti?p of Jack Ness, formerly the star first baseman fith the Chicago "White Sox. Only last Sunday the Aristos showed their class by downing "Rrd" Ormsby's Shcehans, who are considered one of the best home teams in the Chicago league. Conlin, the Aristos pitcher, had the hard hitting Sheehans eating out of his hand, striking out 8 men and keeping their hits well scattered. Being a left-hander, Conlin promises-to give the Hammond outfielders, all left hand hitters, plenty of trouble. In fact he informed Manager Nagel at Monday night's meeting that if Ness and a few more of the heavy hitters on his club will go out and get him a few scores he will give Buckeye and the Hammond team their first taste of defeat. Aside from Jack Ness and Conlin there are several other stars on the club, the best known being "Ernie" Johnson, at one time shortstop for the St. Louis Americans and "Swede" Olson", who plays centerfleld and is considered

Nevertheless the committee of arrangements will give mvav a beautiful Elk emblem for the first home-run, which may square matters should the lot fall to Chicago.

Chicago Elks have manifested much enthusiasm about this game. They have a beautiful banner across the street of their home on Washington street announcing the game and have volunteered their aid in every possible way to aid the Hammond new Elk home.
