FIGHTERS ARE TAPERING OFF

FORJIUCRAP Both Willard and Dempsey Claim They Are Not WorriedReal Betting Starts. TOLEDO. O., July 3. With tbe hour ot combat fast approaching, Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey are undergoing th tapering oft degree In training. Just what tapering off means to & man who tyces tbe punching test that these huge fellows face is more, probably, than most of these fans who are spilling their coin from $60 down to $10 for arena seats fully realise. The petfble who are waiting patient ly for tbe gong to clang, starting this cintest in tbe metropolitan city may appreciate tbe fact that the fighters, not themselves, are the ones held In the grip of tenseness. There's Big Willard. champion of the world, the man who has everything to lose In this battle with Dempsey. Then there's Dempsey, tbe man who has everything to gain. Not Worried Willard. Willard Claims that he is not worried and for that matter so does his challenger. Even If big Jess" were to worry no one would know about it, for that is one Of tho dark secrets of this punching business. If be should be troubled that must be considered a part of the business, and viewing it from that angle might ease the strain. Of course, there is every reason why the champion should find these, next 48 hours more annoying than his rival. Just remember that the championship crown still adorns his head. Dempsey, the kid, does not worry. "Say, let me tell you something," said Jack, in answer to what migbt be an annoying question if shot at a number of boxers. "I'm not even thinking about that fight. When It comes time to fight I'll be there and July 4 will take care of itself." Three Meals a Day. Three hearty meals a day with no restrictions on his choice of food will be his dietary program in his tapering off process for the championship battle. Willard, according to custom, . will eat his usual two meals a day. Unlike boxers who must make a stipulated weight ringside or a certain hour on the day of battle, both the champion and challenger regulate their food only to produce the best conditions for their gruelling physical -task. Dempsey, in particular, has wished He eats more heartily than does the champion and has had a special chef Jn his camp to prepare appetizing dishes at 7 o'clock in the morning, 12 o'clock noon and 6 o'clock at night. Upon arrival here Willard engaged a private cottage, where a woman and her daughter prepare bis food upon the home cooking plan. Early in 'his training he adopted a diet intended to reduce the surplus avoirdu poi which 'be had accumulated. ' Jess a Light Eater. . As the pounds began to roll off under work, Jess discarded the diet and for the last ten days he has ordered what be wishes. Willard Is not a hearty eater for his size. He consumes the breakfast of the ordinary man, lighter, if anything. His dinner Is a substantial meal, with soup, meat, vegetables and dessert. Willard still radiates good nature when he meets friends, but those in hi3 training camp ascert he is becoming slightly more serious as the day for battle approaches. Dempsey, natturally of a more nervous temperament, looks serious. At times he is irritable, but not near so much so as his handler had expected. League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE Clubs W. L.

Saturday's Schedule. Swayne-Robinson vs. Starrs. . . Wayne Works vs. Johnson-Fry. TJi Starr piano team of the S. A. L. is planning to strengthen its position, Saturday, at the expense of the Swayne-Robinaons, who have been nestling close to the bottom of the league for the greater part of the season. Although it would be impossible for the Starrs to take the top round, they are hoping to get near enough So that one slip on the part of tbe Seeders would give them the place In the sun. , The Wayne-Works, Johnson-Fry contest promises also to be scrappy, as the Wayne-Works aggregation will make a desperate stand to get out of the hole. The line-ups for the games have not been announced.

Toledo is Wild City on Eve of Greatest Ring Event in Years

TOLEDO, 6.. July 3 The list few days before the big fight have been so crowded with gay and blithesome events that the newspaper correspondents, numbering upwards of 600, have been so completely drawn into the mad whirl as to lose sight almost completely of training camp . activities. Each afternoon, from five to six, they dash Off their respective bits of wise speculation. This hour they steal by main strength and tremendous exertion of will power from a long day brimming with Intriguing adventures and exciting sports. Attend! The. amusement purveyors of this town have long, been planning good things for this greatest of all weeks in Toledo's history. The minute the visitor gets in, his eye is arrested by this thought-provoking sign on every pole: ; ARE YOU MARRIED? -MORALLY. YES! LEGALLY, NO!! And then you learn that the church said, .they were- married, he believed they' were, she knew they were, anfi the baby took it for granted! It's a pictorial sensation, a film knockout. It turns 'em away nightly. And when they are turned away, where else may they go? I will tell you. The correspondents and expugilists may go to see a bevy of famous bathing girls, extensively adver tised as here in person, appearing at each and every performance at a movie house. Or they mar go to'Toledo's biggest and best theatre, and see Charlie Chaplin in bis latest milliondollar stunt. ; t Ohio, as everyone Well knows, went dry on May 31, and these United States are presumed to have done the same on June 30, but for some remarkable reason, the news has not yet filtered through to Toledo. So those who do not care for movies and who believe in the efficacy of liquid inspiration, may drape themselves over the mahogany, Just as they had imagined they would never do again, unless they went to Europe or Mexico, or somewhere, or took . to soda pop. Games of Chance Running. Then, too, the sportively inclined may idle away the passing hours in some game of chance, like faro, orj craps, or maybe poker. It is whispered about that this agreeable form of entertaining strangers has not been slighted. I The week is furnishing a continuous athletic carnival, with big events on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The firBt was a golf match at the Inverness club between Cartoonist Rube Goldberg and Ring Lardner, promoted and refereed by Grantland Rice. At the hour of writing, the game has not been finished. Thursday was picked as the day for the great clash of light heavy-weights Battling Levinsky and Billy Miske. Asked if he had a hand in arranging this bout. Tex. Rickard said emphat ically: "Naw!" Real Roman Holiday. Then there is Friday to be taken into account," "a regular Roman holi day, with a string of bouts in the big arena lasting from 9 a. m., untl time to fetch in the cows. Think of sitting on the hard side of a pine board seat that long! The spectator is sure to get his money's worth, what with all the gory thrills coming through mlkj Yum Yum taste. n evil

i m

hours of fast action, 'it's liko going

to a 600-mile auto race at Indianapolis sitting down comfortably with one's box lunch between one's feet, waiting for the manslaughter to begin. It is an interesting fact that there haa been little preliminary betting. Wis as are these birds who hve com to Toledo to see the fight and writ about it, and they are about tbe wisest lot of expugilists who ever punched a typewriter, either in person Or by proxy, they cannot make up their minds definitely as to who will win- Many will predict, but their predictions have the hollow sound that denotes laek.of inner conviction. In th morning, the talk will be for Dompsey. In th evening, for Willard. Next morning. Dempsey. The training camps, very scrubby and grubby looking places, reached by very rutty and dusty and narrow dirt roads, and located near a stretch of very muddy water, are the daily delight of women, children and men visitors from tho city. They like to think they are seeing for a measley quarter the very same big men who will perform Friday before fifty and sixty-dollar customers. It's Worth the Money. Despite the pulled punches, and the other stereotyped stunts with sparing partneri, these exhibitions have been worth th money. It is worth a quar ter to see Willard shadow boxing. As he chases an imaginary rival around the ring bis fury grows, and when he gets th poor devil Into a corner, he chows absolutely no mercy, whaling away with both mitts, and emitting through his nose with each" punch a sound which is a cross between a sneeze and a snort of defiance. Dempsey is a picture of manly perfection. Between rounds with his three partners, respectively, white, raeoium and dark meat, he paces around .the platform like a caged pan ther, with the restless eye and springy step or that noted resident of the zoo Dempsey and Willard are both popu lar, Because botn are regarded as lik able fellows. Neither is an old fashioned tough guy. But as we know the world, one may lose his popularity after July 4. BENTLEY TO MILWAUKEE Superintendent J. H. Bentley of the Richmond public schools left Wednes day for Milwaukee where he will attend the National Educational Association meeting being held in that city. From Milwaukee Bentley will go to Chicago to meet several prospective teachers for the Richmond schools.

July is store-cleaning time for Richmond merchants of things to wear. After the rush of spring buying is over, the dealer goes over his stock again and picks out merchandise which he wishes to offer at bargain prices in his Annual "July Sales." There's nothing whatever the matter with the merchandise, excepting that it is using store-room now needed for new Fall goods which will soon be coming along. Here's one store that frankly admits that it bought more tub skirts than it should. It is long past the usual season for buying tub skirts, but the warm season for wearing them is still with us. Any woman who can conveniently buy

now will keep stylishly cool during the net few months and make a good permanent invest ment at "off" season prices.
