SEEN FOB CHAMP BY HISPARTNER Willard Will Win in Five Rounds Declares Monahan, Sparring Mate. TOLEDO. O.. June 28. Victory for Jess Willard with a knockout within five ounds in his heavyweight championship contest with Jack Dempsey here July 4, was the prediction today of Walter Monahan, chief sparring partner for the champion. Monahan based his prediction on his close knowledge of Willard's physical condition gained through several years of work with him. It was Monahan who conditioned Willard for his match with Jack Johnson at Havana. Beyond that covering of flesh on Willard's mid-section, which had caused boxing experts to proclaim that the champion is not in pondition.

He asserted the muscle protected midsection "are like rods of iron," and that Dempsey will not be able to hurt him with stomach punches. "Dempsey wil be the most surprised man in the world when he lets fly at Willard's stomach with all the power . i i j a j v vi. blows will do no damage," Monahan said. Sporting Celebrities Arrived. . "Dempsey also will get a shock when he learns how equally difficult to hit Wilard solidly. Jess will be a greatly changed man in the ring. He has not attempted to punish his sparring partners because he believes it is 'not necessary to unduly misuse them. But when he gets into the ring next Friday it will be a different Willard than the man the public has been watching in his training bouts. ,. "lt is my honest opinion that Dempsey will wear himself out with his dashing attack within three rounds. Then he will be ready for whatever Willard wants to hand him. Dempsey will not be able to avoid Willard's right hand uppercut and if Jess connects solidly a knockout surely will result." Toledo is rapidly becoming the sporting center of the country. Every train is bringing sporting celebrities in ever-increasing numbers. The list today included Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion; Jack Moran, who once fought Willard for the title; Jack McAuliffe, the only man who retired as undefeated champion of the world; Tommy Ryan, former middleweight champion; Billy Muldoon, a famous conditioner of athletics, and a score of others.

The mammoth wooden stadium erected for the heavyweight championship battle at Toledo July 4 is one of the interesting features of ONE OF THESE Jack Dempsey's good right One of the. interesting arms shown above is counted on by its owner. Jack Dempsey. to win the heavyweight title away from Jess Willard. The champ is depending QUAKERS PRESENT STRONG FRONT FOR GAME WITH MUNCIE Lee Tannehill, former pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, has been secured by the local baseball directors as umpire for the Muncie game Sunday. Tannehill Is considered one. of the best baseball officials in Ohio. Richmond fans can be certain of a good clean game. Since his withdrawal from the active list as a baseball "hurler he has been officiating in semipro and major league games.- He haa played in the American league. The Muncie Shadmen are a rejuvenated team, and will come to Quakertown to win, but as Cunningham's nine, made up the latter part of the week, after he "cleaned house" of all but three players, his team will lack real teamwork. Most of the players that he has secured to fill his scant ranks are the members of the Anderson Eagles which were let off by the Eagles this week. It is understood that Anderson has secured some of the Maxwell players, including their field captain, Dugge. Team is Improving. Every Sunday sees a better team in the field for Richmond. With Pete Minner hurling the prospects look good for the Richmond club. It is believed that if Minner had been placed in the game sooner at Newcastle when Harding allowed the Maxwells bo many hits, the story there would have been more in favor of Richmond. Claud Knight who will backstop, has had league experience with the Virginia league, where he played last year. Knight is considered the best catcher around Richmond. Leininger, Korfhagen, Schlenker, Bacon, Hill and Dehner are still on the Richmond club's payroll and will prob-1 ably remain there. Gus Felix, one of the fastest first basemen in Cincinnati, it is claimed, will fill his vacated position on the initial sack. Felix, Manager Winterman told President Eggemeyer by letter, was also a good hitter and had been offered try-outs with several major league clubs last spring. Miller-Kempers Will Play At Brownsville The Miller-Kemper baseball team will play the Brownsville baseball nine at Brownsville Sunday. This is the first game that the Millers have played with the southern team. Boston has defeated the Brownsville team twice and has crushed the Millers once, so that the game promises to be evenly matched. 1 1 " ' '"-SB WILKINS IS FOUND GUILTY MINEOLA, N. Y., June 28.

But the former Red Sox star seems to have hit his stride now and his batting and fielding with the Yanks have been a big factor in their success cf the last couple of weeks. Can't Dislodge Reds From Second Place; All Efforts Result In Demoralization If the members of any ball club in the National League think they are going to take second place away from Pat Moran's Redlegs they had better change their mind. Some time back Brooklyn's club came to town tied for second place with the Reds. It was up to Moran's team to get those second-place notions out or the Brooklyn players' heads, so they turned in and wiped them off the map by beating them four straight games. From that time until Thursday no club had the nerve to challenge the right of the Reds to occupy the second hole. But Thursday the Pirates thought it was time for the Reds to vacate. They came along to start a three-game series and conditions were such that three straight victories for the Pirates would enable them to drag the Reds down a notch. After the first game all such foolishness was out of their domes. For the Reds turned in and trimmed them 7 to 0 In a game that was stopped by rain after the Pirate half of the sixth had been played. Friday the dose was repeated, 5 to 2. There is no question now which team Is going to occupy that better 'ole, at least for a few days.
