By TE.AKK O. MEKKE STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE1 TOLEDO, O. June 2 7. Olhe fvcord will referea the AVillard-Demrsey fight hera July 4. Tex Rirkard and Maj. A. J. Prekcl Biddle M-ill act as ringside judges. Decision to abid? by the rules of the Toledo boxing commission and us their official referee as the "third man" in the ring Independence Day was announced here today by Tex Kicknrd. "At the same tim the desires of Jess Villard that Tex Rickard refree were met by naming the fight promoter as one of the ringside judges. The selection of Maj. Eiddle. head of the National Boxing commission, which was called upon to decide the referee question was taken here as a compliment to that organization and as a recognition of the great work they have done tor boxing during the war. As alternate referee. Jack Skelly. veteran arbiter of Tonkers. N. T.. was named, and AV. "Warren Earbour of New Tork was chosen official time keeper. Toledoans were delighted at the announcement that Peeord, their "favorite son." was to be the "third man" in the ring Independence Day. Although Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, has been outspoken against the plan of having three officials, it is believed that the selection of Rickard and Biddle as judges will completely silence his objections. M'illard. who was insistent upon Rickard officiating will be satisfied, according to his friends today, with, the naming of th promoter as a judge, although he held out for a time for the naming of Rickard as referee without the accessory judges. Jack ?ke!ly. as alternate referee, was likewise heartily approved in pugilistic circles here. However, it was said that nothing short of an "act of providence" would prevent Pecord from officiating in the bout.

By TAD fSTAFF CORRESPONDENT r N. SERV1CE1 TOLEDO. O.. JuiTe JT. Jess Willard is standing the strain of camp routine wonderfully well. The strain on thf champion in training is an awful thing. We have had any numh,r of them crack under it. Jim Corbett wasn"t fit to live with before his fight with Fitz' at Carson. Everything was wrong and everybody was a pest. Jeffries at Reno, before the fight with Johnson, busted like a goldfish bowl. Two days befor" the tight he was playing cards. Instead of following suit when spades were led. poor Jim tossed out hearts and diamonds without even a thought. His mind as on Johnson and nothing else. Willard is around the hotel Secor here every morning, smiling and kidding as though there was nothing on his mind "but dinner time. Of course, this may be bujik. but he doesn't show that it is. He meets strangers, pesky reporters and lets the mob admire him without a

shirk. At hi camp he is full of good nature, too. Maybe the big idea hasn't hit him yet. He appears like a fellow who.will be glad when the Fourth of July is over because he has something else to do. He is not crabby with anyone. He doesn't appear figgity, nor does he appear nervous. A good ratured giant who laughs with the gang at all the jokes. A fight never did bother Demrsey much. He is just a kid. He is veryanxious. Anyone can see that he would like to fight tonight if it could be arranged. He is the bull calf in the box car. He wants to get out on the green and tear up. They have to hold him do-vn in his work. Almost every day he begs to be allowed to box some more, but wiser heads hold him back. He hasn't enough to do. He would like to box until he falls from exhaustion.

THE NEXT ATTRACTION

Hammond's old-time rivals, the Gal'.lgans. will be the attraction at Parduhn P3rk on next Sunday. The Galligans will be accompanied by their usual crowd of followers, who always display a big roll, which they are ready to bet on their favorites. The Galligans boast of an all-star battery in Swede Anderson and Duckey Stewart. In the 2 games that- he has pitched to date Anderson has displayed a wonderful article of ball and this seems to be the main reason why the Galiigan backers are so willing to wager their dough on the outcome of next Sunday's scrap. In his first time out Anderson let the Bartlett team down with 2 hits while his mates pounded the opposing pitcher for 13 blows and won him an easy victory, S to 0. Last Sunday against tha strong White City nine Anderson struck out twenty-one men and gave this team of clouters a measly 4 hits. If this fellow Anderson is all that he Is cracked up to be. local fans will he anxious to see how he will look against O'Neil. Walsh. Callahan. Kennedy and the rest of the Hammond sluggers. Another first class pitcher Is also with the visitors in this man Carlo, who at one time was a second string hurler on the old Cub staff. , Indian Rhode and some more of the old Cub fans who used to visit the West Side grounds will remember this fellow Carlo who was with Frank Chance's outfit for years. When not used in the box by the Galligans. he Plays the outfield and according to reports he Is reputed to be "some" fence buster. Eaichley's fingers having completely healed he will be on the mound and Dave Wallace will do the receiving for

the locals. Baichley says being back in tip-top form he will try to show the fans some real pitching, the kind he used to turn out when he was the property of the St. Louis Browns. Baichley also requested the writer of this column to announce to the fans that he will give them the surprise of the season when he makes his first hit of the year on next Sunday. Should he make 2 or even 3 blows in this one game h-: hopes there won't be some bug drop dead of heart failure as a result. Manager Nagel promises to spring another surprise in the way of a new infield r. who he claims, is of big league caliber. The newcomer will work out with the Hammond team before Sun-

day's game.

Although it is unknown who the men are that someone in the big show Is after, the fans can easily guess from the showing of the players to date Just who it is that might rossibly make the grade. The report has it that they have a line on at least two or rossibly three. Since sending Johnny Mostil to the White Sox Hammond has agined quite a rep with the scouts, who make it specialty to scour the semi-pros and who knows but what we nay yet land a player or two in the big show-.

What Will Happen If Jess Willard Is Really Hurt By Dempsey.. By TUA.VTX. a. IQKXE.

STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE Y-L.t:DO. U.. June ;7. Wiial ill .happen if Jack Dempsey hits and really hurts Jess Willard? That's a question that Is agitatins pugilistic psychologists more than any other created by the July 4th battle. "Will the mighty Willard rush at

j Dempsey in a burst of rage and try with i all the power of his superb body to (.mdfh the smaller man into a prone and j battered hulk? Or will ain take the

fight out of him? Hore is the answer of Jack Kearns, who manages Dempsey: "The very minute that Jack lajids his first crashing blow is the minute that Jess Willard gets on the chutes that will lead him to political oblivion. If Willard doesn't go down for tho long, long count, you can stake your bank account that from then on he'll try a runaway fight and attempt to save himself frm a further beating. But he wont run long not with Dempsey chasing him." Walter Monahan. chief sparring partner of the champion, who has boxed more than 4.000 rounds with him, takes an entirely opposite view. This is it: "If Willard ever gets fighting mad no man that inspired the mood can last long before the fury of the attack that is sure to follow. Jees. by nature, is an easy fe-cing fellow who never wants to hurt and vbo never in his life has used his full strength. That's because no one ever has provoked him to the whife anger that is possible. "Once aroused by a hurting blow from an enemy. Willard would be worse than a raging lion. The long pent-up fighting spirit would be aroused and Willard will go out to smash or be smashed. And no man that an enraged Willard tackles can smash him." Who Is right? Kearns or Monahan. Let'B trot forth some facts. Back in 1313 Willard took on the powerful Carl Morris in New Tork. Early in the fray Morris, one of the roughtest fighters that

I ever stepped into the ring, clouted Jess

a few husky clouts. Did Jess go into a rage? No. Jes just fought along after that evenly and carefully and newspaper accounts will show that he clinched most of the way to the end ef tha tenth. Gunboat Smith, a mighty good banger In hi best days, biffed Willard on the bony part of the frontispiece in one of early rounds. Spectators insist that the punch hurt and hurt fearfully. There was a cause for anger to blaze, within Willard, reason enough for him if he possessed any of the inherent fury that. Monahan speaks about, to rush forward and crush the lighter and far smaller Smith under a fusillade of powerful blows. But Willard did nothing of the sort.

the proverbial mile. Charlie Miller, bear cat Tom McMahon. Luther McCarty and Arthur Pelky dropped some stinging drives' upon the head and body of the Kansas giant. But ncwher is it recorded that Willard was spurred into furious aggressiveness. To the contrary, hurting Willard seemed o drive him to cover. Willard made the statement the other day that Jack Johnson broke his left Jaw in the Havana fight. That bit of "news" comes as a great surprise and generates wonderment. It is generally the custom for a fellow with a broken Jaw to consult a doctor, carry bandages on his Jaw for several weeks and spend most of that time in retirement. But Willard did nothing of the sort. Following his triumph over the negro, Willard was hurred straight through to New Tork. There he was paraded around by Tom Jones. He was almost constantly in the public eye for a month following his victory. But never once during that time did Willard appear with a ba.ndage- Being a superman. Willard perhaps is so constructed that aibroken Jaw isn't really any incident In his life. But lets assume that Johnson did break Willard's jaw. That would size, up a sufficient cause for any man to lose patience with a. foeman. It would be cause for anger to blaze forth and for a furious charge at the other. But for nearly twenty-three rounds broken Jaw or no broken Jaw Willard fought methodically and carefully. He fought almost on the defensive, until Johnson, wearing and broken more by his own exertions than Willard's jabbing, took a right hand swing that cost him the championship. All of which brings once more the question: "What really will happen If Jack Dempsey lands a crashing, wounding blow upon the head or stomach of th'j Kansas giant?"
