May 28 Eight hundred former soldiers will be deputlxed as special police' and serve as ushers for the heavyweight championship contest between Jess Wlllard and Jack Dempsey in the Bay View park arena here July 4, Tex Rlckard. promoter of the contest, announced today. These men have all seen service overseas as members of the 112th ammunition train and batteries B and E ot the Thirty-second division. They will be armed and will be under the direct supervision of Mayor Scareiber and C. F. Wall, director of public safety. Lieut. Fred Selbert will be in command of the unit. As the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control endorsed the contest and announced that it would support its promoter, Rickard4elieved it would be in justice to the men on this board to appoint soldiers to assist in handling the crowds. Rlckard's action will make it possible for many of these overseas men to witness the contest, as many of them lack the necessary funds to purchase tickets. Rickard was advised today that Wlllard will come direct to Toledo after stopping for a day's visit at his home in Lawrence, Kas. The champion is due here June 4 to begin training. Ad. Q. Thatcher, matchmaker of the Toledo Athletic club, has practically decided upon leasing a $30,000 cottage on the shore of Maumee Bay for Willard's training camp. The proposed camp is located about two miles west of Dempsey'a quarters. The deal will not be closed, however, until the arrival tomorrow of Ray C. Archer, Willard's business representative.
