Danny Dunn, well known boxer,
manager and trainer, who has been
directing athletic activities overseas
for .the Knights of Columbus
many months, is hustling home from
Germany to see the coming heavy
weight championship battle between
Willard and Dempsey at Toledo,
July Fourth.
In a letter written from Wittlich,
Germany, to Dick Sheehan, a per
sonal friend, Danny says:
"Leave here May 22 and go to
Paris. Have told them to book me
to sail the tenth of June so I can
get home in time for the big fight
at Toledo July Fourth. Expect to
reach New York about June 22."
Danny has been centering his
attention on promoting ring con
tests and other- sporting events tii
the boys in the American army of
occupation. Before the war ended
he was conducting shows near the
front. Probably hundreds of other
lads who have been waiting word to
sail for home hope to be as lucky
as Danny.
ICED IT ELKS
SATURDAY NIGHT
TOGETHER
If Jack Dempsey fails to land any higher in the heavyweight world he
might try his skill at swimming. Training on the shores of Maumee Bay, just
-off Lake Erie, Jack has become a regular water dog. He's in the water morning
and afternoon and he'd rather do it than fight. Standing at the side of Demp
sey is his trainer, Jimmy DeForrest, who tells Jack when he can go swimming!
and how long he can stay in.
Here's the Real Dope On Jess Willard
By N. E. Brown
TOLEDO, O. (Special) Conflicting
stories about Jess Willard, regardiw;
his weight and general condition have
set ring fans at sea regarding the
heavyweight champion's ' true condi
tion. I have just seen Willard during his
daily workout, I chatted with him dur
ing his leisure moments during the
day. Here is the real dope on him:
He is not weighted down with super
fluous, flabby fat.
He has no pronounced stomach.
He looks today as though he will be
able to get into the pink of condition
to defend his title Against Jack Demp
sey at Bay View Park, July Fourtn.
Before he started for his camp for
his workout the day I looked him over
he weighed 258 pounds. This is less
than he weighed when he met Frank
Moran a pound less, and the big day
is three weeks or so away.
When he stepped into the ring for
his exercise I was surprised at his con
dition. True his flesh is not hard yet.
It will not be stretched tightly over
his muscles when he faces the Giant
Killer. Willard is not the type that
reaches the skin and bone condition.

Rocap, sporting editor of the Phila

fight in Toledo July 4. And the selec
tion was said to have been placed in
the hands of Biddle as president of
the army and navy and civilian board

won't do. So Rocap doesn't know now

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
TOLEDO, June 24. Tex Rickard,
promoter of the heavyweight cham
pionship contest between Willard and
Dempsey, July 4, met tonight with
Jack Kearns, who is manager of
the challenger, and officials of the
army, navy ajid civilian board of box
ing control, in an effort to solve the
problem of selecting a referee.
W. A. Gavin, a member of the execu
tive committee of the board, and
Adam Empie, secretary, profess to be-j
lieve the situation is not a serious!
one and that the question will be set- j
tied within two or three days.
Various reports were currant to
night that Willard had declared that
he would accept Rickard as referee
and no one else. Another report was
that Kearns would insist upon either
Jack Welch of San Francisco or Billy
Brown of New York. Willard is op
posed to the plan of having two judges
in addition to a referee.
Dempsey was 24 years old today,
and in true boy fashion celebrated the
occasion with a birthday party tonight
by entertaining twenty-four children
of the neighborhood.
Twenty-three hundred persons pa
25c each today, to visit the chal
lenger's camp in anticipation of seeing
him flatten out his sparring partners.
Sergeant Bill Tate, who was knocked
out yesterday, and the Jamaica Kid,
another negro sparring mate, kept
their chins out of harm's way but bou
were considerably shaken up.
Willard boxed ten exceedingly tame
rounds and refrained from doing any
thing impressive, although he worked
in the ring for 59 minutes.
He continually stood flat-footed and
allowed his sparring partners to hit
him in the stomach.
John J. Reisler removed the last
possible legal obstacle to the contest
today, when he announced he would
not take his case against Dempsey
into court at this time. Reisler claims
to have a contract to manage Dempsey.
Willard did not attend the confer
ence but arranged to meet Promoter
Rickard tomorrow.
Included in the list of officials sub
mitted by Kearns. as acceptable to
Dempsey, were: Bill Brown of New
York; ;J;a;ck Welch of San Francis
co; OUie Pecord of Toledo; Jim Grif
fith of San Fianciseo; Kid McPartland
of New York, Jack Skeliy of Yonkers,
New York; Walter Kelly of Buffalo,
and Billy Roche of New York.
I Brandon Brothers, managers of the
j Elks und American theaters have ar
j ranged a bill of boxing for next Satur-
1 day night at the Elks. Saturday will
be Luke Memorial day, but the boxing
! events are not scheduled to begin un-
til 9:30 p. m.. when the celebrations
i at the fair grounds are expected to be'
ended.
The card includes two six-round
bouts and a six-cornered Afro-Ameri-i
can hattle royal. In the opener Jimmte
j Gordon is scheduled to take on 4id
j Mendoza, a local Mexican boy, for six
rounds. Gordon won popularity in his
j match with Jack McMahn last Satur
! day night, the fans approving his game
I ness and aggressive style of fighting,
i They will weigh around 125 pounds.
The second match will be between
two heavyweights. Manuel Avilez and
Steve Wilson will go six rounds, weigh
ing in the neighborhood of 160 pounds
at ringside. Avilez is a veteran and
when boxing was held in Phoenix sev
eral years ago was often in headliners.
Wilson is younger, but has shown such
promise in his workouts here that he
has made many friends who are eager
to see him matched against Avilez-
The battle royal will come last, ac
cording to the program, the last man in
the ring being the winner. There w ill
be six Afro-American pillow-pushers
start in this event, all of whom claim to
be experienced. Two of them were in
similar boxing events at Vernon, staged
by Eddie Doyle.
The promoters also announced that
should any scheduled event not go its
scheduled length, with the approval ol
the audience, an additional. short bout
would be put on.

MILLION DOLLAR GATE. IS l
SEEN FOR BIG FOURTH i
OF JULY BOUT I
Todedo, Ohio.
Tex Packard Is now anticipating
a million dollar gate for the big
fourth of July fisticuffs between
Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey.
The "elastic arena" probably will
,seat 60,000 or 70,000 fans. At first
it was believed not more than 50,000
seats would be erected but the de
mand for tickets has been so good
they're still adding to the original
plans. If a million iron men are
collected at the gate Tex Rickard
will have about a half million in
profits. Fortune favors the bold
again.
