BENTON HARBOR, Mich.. Srpi 6.
Jack Dcmpsev, heavyweight cham
pion of the world, today staked the
crown ho won from Jess Willard four
tren months ago at Toledo, on his hard
hitting piuwrss in a ten round nodeci
ilon boat with Billy Miske of St. Paul
Tin- chnmpion It was advertised. Was
guarantr-cd a minimum of $50, i"0
Dempsey was the favorite but with
every prospr-u of a hard fight. So
confident were Miske - St Paul back
ers of his ability to stay the limit that
they bet freely that the blows that
lent i he giant Willard to the floor sev
en times in the first round, could not
stop the challenger
IN GOOD CONDITION.
Dempsey apparently was !n as per
feet condition as on the Fourth of July
at Toledo last year Miske likewise
vas in excellent torui While he has
not th- elu,mpionv. fleetnes of foot,
his friends point' d out that he is. the
only man who ever fought Deiupsev
ten rounds without belnn knocked off
his feet ile war, better mday than nt
anj time before, they uaid, and a trou
blesome spinal ailment uhich inter
fered with his work last year, has bem
removed Like Dempsoy, Miske has
had a long rest from the ring, having
had but one fight in the last fourteen,
mouths.
Both men in age. weight, height and
rear h ar fairly well matched. Demp
sey is 2G years old and Miske is 27.
Both expect to enter the ring at about
190 pounds. Dempsey is six feet, one
and a quarter Inches tall, and the chal
lenger a quarter of an inch lcs; the
champion has a reach of 78 inches as
compared to M lake's 77 They have
met twice beiore fighting ten rounds
at St. Paul on May A, 19i8. to no de
cision and six rounds at Philadelphia
on November 28 ot the tame year with
the same result
THOUSANDS RUSH IN.
Floyd Fitzsiuiuions, promoter Mt to
day's fight, expected every one of the
18.1M0 arena seats to be sold. The big
crrcle was 65 per cent told yesterday
he said, twenty-four hours before the
blocks of unreserved seats went on
Sale With all seats sold Fltz-Mrcimohs
said the fight receipts would approxi
mate $175,000 to $200,000. DempGey
has a guarantee of 50 per cent ol the
receipts if they are enough to exceed
uis au,000 cut and Miske 25 per cent
Thousands of fight fans began pour-;
ing into the twfn cities of Bencn Hat
bor and St. Joseph at dawn today,!
swelling the tide of arrivals which I
flowed In throush every gateway Sat
urda and Sundav Every train and
boat brought its complement while
down the roads of several bluffs that
semi-circle the two cities by the lake,
automobiles coasted.
Arriving fight fans found rooms at j
a premium and even refreshments hard'
to get.
With no decision to be rendered, be- ,
cause Michigan laws prohibit it. the
world's heavyweight title can charge
hands today only if Miske should score'
a knockout or should Dempsey be dis-j
qualified lor violation of the rules.
Two stx-round preliminaries are on i
tbe card, the first starting at 2 o clock'
central standard time, between Harry
Grebe and Chuck Wiggins, light heavy j
w
weights Dill Tate, tlx- plant negro who
helped condition Dempsey before the
fight at Toledo last year, and again for
today's main go. meets Sam Langford,
the Boston negro heavyweight.
Dempsey and Miske were due in the
ring at 3:20 central standard time.
Ihc third man in the ring, chosen
early yesterday alter an all night ses
sion which threatened for a time to
end Dempsey and Kearus out of town
in a huff, Is Jim Dougherty of Phlla
delphla Dougherty was the choice of
Jack Kearns, Dempsey s manager
Walter Eckersall of Chicago, will
be the timekeeper. Emerson W Dirk
erson of Grand Rapids. Mkh prei
dent of the Central league, will refe
' ree the preliminaries.
I Dempsey Is supremelv ronfiden of
victory, but expected Miske to give
I him a desperate batlte,
i I shall try to win as quickly as
possible," the champion said. "I have
j not made .he mistake of believing that
I am going to hav a picnic Miske
is tough, can take and give punishment
and is a dangerous h'tter. They tell
me Miske is bigger and heavier than
when he fought me before That means
that he will be that much hirder to'
beat The also tell me he is in vhape ,
But he has nothing o: ine in this re-1
ard " .
Miske declared that he was trained
for the light of hi career and :onfl
dent of winning.
I1AIN THREATENED.
"Dempsey cotild.i t knock me out in
.our previous engagements and I feel
i i nam he won't be Vole to turn the
trick today, ' Miske said This Is the

bu.'.er. carry moi" weight and am a

-. I am ncc ;:-.nr. ; in pr- 't that
I an; going to knoCM Dempsey out, but
I am going to give him the great St
fight he ever had."
Today's bout was made possible at
Benton Harbor hoCause of the personal
friendship of Jaek Dempsey for Tro
moter PltSBlmmons Dempsey had
promised to fight thi. summer for his
ir'end "Fitz."
The forenoon was c'.oudv and the at
mosphere carried ibreui that rain
