One thine that Dempsey figures will aid him in his bout with Jess Willard is the fact that all of his sparring partners are rangier and
taller than he is. This is helping Dempsey to accustom himself to handling big men and getning in
side long reaches. Bill Tate.v i
Jack's negro aide, is as big as the champion and fast. He works his left to the limit. Wiilard's left is his best asset.

TOLEDO O., June 20. With the heavyweight championship contest between Jess Willard and Jack Demp
sey set for decision two weeks from
today, Tex Rickard, promoter of the
match, announced that the cash re
ceipts now in deposit In Toledo banks totalled $325,000, which assures financial success for what probably will
be the greatest sporting spectacle In
modem history. This sum does not take into ac
count money paid for tickets . in
agencies in other cities, nor the tick
ets held in reservation for which cer
tified checks have not been received. Probably another $150,000 is tied up in ticket reservations. Six clerks are
working fifteen hours daily sending
tickets hv registered mail, but Pr
moter Rickard does not expect -le eleventh, hour rush to develop until iue Kiitar part ui. next weeK. "There are plenty of choice seats available," Rickard said today, "despite the tremendous advance sale. A great many reservations are temporarily held up, pending definite ruling from the railroad administration in regard to the operation of special
trains. I expect a favorable ruling j
in this regard within a day or two. We have taken the issue dfrect to Washington for a decision." Will End Vacation. Tomorrow will end Dempsey's enforced vacation. The challenger, kept
Idle since Sunday, except for two rounds of boxing yesterday, because
of the cut over his right eye, will resume work with the gloves tomorrow, and his workouts will be of the stiff est character, t Dempsey' s trainers say his enforced lay-off has been a "blessing In disguise," as he has been in condition for two weeks to box the champion and the lay-off has made him eager to resume his training grind. The challenger has been building up for the last ten days, eating what he pleases, and doing no serious work. ' Dempsey boxed two rounds with Terry Keller yesterday for motion picture camera operators, who reeled off several hundred feet of film, catching the challenger in his various training stunts. He went on the road
while the camera was cranked, pulled a boat on Maumee Bay, went swim
ming with members of his retinue and romped with the children of the Bay
Shore district, with whom he is
prime favorite. Willard said today that his training
had reached the point where the amount of work he accomplishes each
day is entirely dependent upon the amount of punishment his sparring partners can assimilate. All of them are feeling the effect of his punishing attack. Walter Monahan and Jack Hempel, who have been doing strenuous work for three weeks, are displaying signs of a need of rest. Hempel, in particular, seems to be going stale. Jack Hainen, the Chicago heavyweight, who has been twice knocked out by the champion, said that Wii
lard's tremendous bitting power was a revelation to him.
"I have boxed with. Jack Johnson and other heavyweights, but I have never seen Willar's equal as a bitter," said Hainen. When he connects squarely., it shakes you from your heels up. Its like coming into contact with an electric wire. My ears buzzed for five minutes after he soaked me on the chin with a right hand uppercut yesterday." "

American Soldiers Teach
Athletics To Frenchmen PARIS, June 20. Evidently the American soldiers have taught the Frenchmen how and why to take athletics seriously. ' Fully 250 French athletes, gathered from allover France and its provinces, are now quartered at the old Ecole Normal de Gymastlque et d' Escrime de Inter-Allied games at Pershing Stadium from June June 22 to July 6. Lieutenant Colonel See, French Army, a sterling soldier and a fine sportsman, is in charge of the. training of the French teams. A program for conditioning and perfecting the
athletes has been worked up, based almost entirely on the training methods of American colleges and athletic clubs. Nothing has ever before been attempted along these lines in France. At the invitation Franco-American games recently, the French athletes were completely outclassed by the American competitors. This demonstrated to the satisfaction of the French athletic authorities that they must arrange for intensive training for their men if France is to be a contender for honors in the Inter-Allied Games. Colonel Wait C. Johnson, Chief Athletic Officer of the American Expeditionary Force, has offered Lieutenant See any American facilities available for use in the training of the French athletes. L. C. Schroeder, of the Young Men's Christian Association college at Springfield, Mass., is working with Lieutenant Colonel See, supervising the general training of the men and devoting his special attention to the track athletes.
Stonewall Jackson, the great southern general in the civil war, once dispatched this message to the Confederate war department at Richmond:
"Send more men and fewer questions." ,
