i fectly good rumor because there nppiiteiitlj is little truth to the report. Jess
' Willard tins denied that Brown will referee. Jack Dempsej also said he knew
' nothing nbout it, nnd 1'romoter Tex Kic knrd appeared to be surprised to learn
. that an official had been picked without his knowledge.
I In accordance with the articles binding the heavyweights for their twehe-
j round championship match a referee is to be chosen not later than two weeks
before the contest. The boxers will be guen the privilege of deciding on a man.
; and In the eent that thej fail to agree Riekard will linxe the uuthority to pick
; pn somebodj. It is bclnwed that Tex fnvors lirown, but Tex did not admit
" it today.
j Willard said that he hnd not given the question of a referee n serious
! thought. "My championship is at stake and 1. of couise, will hold out for
the man who I consider competent," Willard said. "I do not care to say
, "Who 1 fnvor 1 undoubtedly will meet Kenrns ami Iticknrd within two weeks
and will attempt to agree on a man at that time. I do not care to saj if llrown

j Willard Treats Sparring Partners Roughly
.J:ESS WILI.AHD went on the rampage jesterdaj and almost ruined two
:;-fcJl sparring partners in one-half hour at the Casino. Jack Hemplc was
knocked off his-pins with a right hook to the head, and afterward an ambitious
person iiatncdS6Idicr Stanton was "out on his feet" soon after donning the
gloves.
Stanton is a newcomer and recently worked with Pcmpsey. He had n
desire to find out what kind of a scrapper Willard was, nnd was given a chance.
They sparred for u time nnd suddenly Willard let go a short, choppy right
which connected with the Soldier's neck. Stanton's legs stiffened, his arms
dropped to his sides, but he did not full
Standing like a statue and gazing through unseeing ejes, he was helpless
Willard started to hit him again, but, noticing his condition, stepped nwny nnd
called for Monaghan nnd Hemple to reue the mnn.
i Big Jess started with Hemple and it soon was apparent that the sparring
partners were in for a rough ojage. Ten seconds after the order wns given
to start, Hemple wns rocking like a row boat at sea, with the champion all over
him like a tent. AVhen the round wns hnlf over Jess unhooked n right cross
xvhich landed on Hemple's head. Down went the ex-marine nnd time was
taken out until he recoercd. Then thej resumed and two rounds were fought.
Hemple (,nid after the workout that the blow wns too high for a knock
out and he xvas lucky it wasn't two inches lower. He said Willard was put
ting steam behind his blows when oue least expected it, and boxing with the
big boy no longer was a cinch.
Walter Monaghan boxed three sessions nnd they were fast and furious
Walter was told to go in and slug, and he did that ery thing. Jess was on
the defensive throughout and when he lauded a punch there was nothing behind
it. He had put Walter to sleep oue duj last week and did not care to do it
again Walter didn't cnie to undergo another experience like it, either.
At that, Willard had the better of eery exchange of punches and looked
better than at any time since he started trnining here. His wind, however,
till is bad and his heavy breathing could be heard after some fast work.
...
VTAKISG it all in all, Wtllard'i tiaininrj consisted of five rounds and
' one punch. That one punch endid the exhibition with Soldier
Stanton,
Dempsey Batters Dusky Partners
rpHE four rounds staged nt Maumee Iiay Camp bj Dempsey nnd two of his
dusky sparring partners were more exciting by far than the boxing at Wil
lard's camp, despite what happened to Stanton. These two colored scrappers,
Bill Tate and the Jamaica Kid, certainly are capable of making it interesting
for Willard's challenger Tate went on first for a round and the pair alter
nated after that.
Big Tate, standing the same height aR the champion, is a fellow to be
reckoned with in this punching business He can jab nicely with his left and
he can clout n mean right cross. Oi.ce this nfternoon he released his long
right, soaking Dempsey squnrelj on the chin, and Dempsey knew that some
thing had bit him.
.
JAMAICA KID, short and stocky and a mighty walloper icith either
' " hand, punched and grunted, lie poked many a jolt to Jack's jaw,
but Jack soaked one lallapaloosa right to the dark fellow's chin that
tent him reeling against the hemp.
Fans Pay to Sec Big Boys Train
THE double attraction was a magnet that drew ninny people and consider
able coin. There were probably 1800 fnns of both sexes at the Casino to
Bee Willard work, theii n lot of these interested jtersons went over to Demp-
Kfft aej's place later in the nfternoon.

,1 pretty soft picking.
At the Casino the fee was increased to fifty cents for Sunday, but no
change xvas made in the price at Maumee bay, the fans getting in for two bits.
Jess Willard is not satisfied with his condition, but says he will begin to

IJ JAMKS S. CAROIjAN
"What, a 'hV for that awtiing?"
exclaimed noisy N'ick Hnyes, as he re
moved his weather-beaten, soiled strnw
lid to rompare it xx 1 1 h the expensive
headgear of his friend. "(,ee, some
guys nre the suckers. Why. I'll bet now
that jou d be willln' to take Chancy 's
end in a return session with Louie
Tendler. Hut, you k"now, It's all in
fun "
Nick had just been elaborating upon
the class of Tendler when he happened
tc interview the guy with the expenshe
lid on the cost of such nn "nwning."
lVijing a "fin" for such n bend
piece seemed ridiculous to the xery
cautions Nick. It almost turned him
nwav from his subject It doesn't take
much to mnke Nolsv Dick shift, nnd on
this occasion the loud lid did the trick.
Rumors Are Rumors
i ion Know, rumors nre rumois,"
'continued Nick, returning to his sub-
ieet or figlit. "I just walked through
nn entire barrnge of rumors, some false
nnd others not so fnle.
"Can you bent this one' As I was
passin' a prominent figlit corner one
guy yelled to me: 'Hey, Nick, hnve
you heard the latest? Tendler and
Leonard nt the ball park on July 4.
Leonard has agreed to make 133 nt 0
o'clock.'
"Now. tnke it from me flint's nil n
bunch of hop. Nothin" to it I had no
more'n got over that without dnnger
when this bnrrage was fired my way
M some wise one: 'Yen. Nick, how
nbout a Tendler-Ritchie fight here in
three weeks. Looks good, eh? Just
reported that Ritchie would mnke KtS
pounds for Tendler.'
"Thnt all sounds verj well, but take
it from me. they're nil wrong
Another Shock
"Ilefore I had completely recovered
from those two shocks. I walked into
another. Just listen to this; 'Some
fight, Nick! Tendler and Kilbnne nt
the ball park. We heard jesterdaj that
eerj thing had been completed for a
light between Johnny nnd Lew '
"Now, that fight is just a fnr nwny
as the ones xvith Leonard nnd Ritchie.
Ttiit it all goes to show thnt this guy
Tendler is out in front nnd all the pro
moters wunt to snnre him.
"I even henr thnt Eddie Cooke thinks
there is a chnnce for that Leonard -Tendler
bout to go through, and has
offered ?2.",000 for the battle, I think
Eddie's offer is snfe.
"It nil goes to show that the light
weights nre the boys in demand just
now, nnd the one right in the spotlight
is this guy Tendler. He's a great boy
and will make them all step."
Leonard and Dundee
While the promoters continue to bat
tle for a suitable foe for Tendler, Leon
Kains has gone right ahead and com-
pleted his program, which will be staged
nt the 1'hillies' ball park one week from
tonight. Rcuny Leonard and Johnny
Dundee, lightweight celebrities, xxill be
the headline.
Leonard has agreed to make 13,r
pounds for this fight Few believe
Leonard can get down to this poundage

one chance to make good. If Leonnrd
scales 135 nt f! o'clock for Dundee, then
the fans will haxe a great chance to get
a first-class line on Leonard's ability nt
this xx eight.
Leonard's weight hns the fans guess
ing. Hilly Gibson, Leonard's manager,
1 sajs Uenny can make 13.1 if necessary.
j Jnsk Weinstein, a close friend of Leon
I ard, also insists that the chnmpion right
now is near the lightxveight limit.
I Dundee the Test
Leonard has not opposed a first-class
lightweight in this city in a long time.
Dundee is the first renl test. With
Leonard making lSIi pounds and Dun-
dee in perfect condition, the champion
will hnve no easy assignment. No
I fiehter can afford to concede Dundee nnv
hnrw'lnnn n.l itnvl tn liar, aw, ...'.
hnm'.lcnp and expect to have an ensj
time of it.
Irish Patsy Cline is another classy
lightweight who xvill appear. Cline
meets Eddie Moy. Those xUio have
seen Patsy lately say he is nearer a
welterweight than the 133-pound limit.
One year ago Cline xvas one of Leonard's
most dangerous contenders. His present
class remains doubtful. That hurried
knockout over Lockport Jimmy Duffy
is the only way xxe have to judge his
class now.
Promoter Leon Rains stated this
morning that he expected Cline to make
his appearnnce In this city tomorrow
night.

begin xxork as the green keeper nt Pine
Valley tomorrow. The turf is not
coming along as the club hoped, and
there is no doubt that -Flvnn is the
man to get results. Howard D. Street,
George A. Crump's brother-in-law, has
charge of th'e course, nnd he is being
assisted by Hugh I. Wilson, xvho laid
out the two Merlon courses. Seavicw
and most of Cobbs Creek. These three
make au ideal combinatiou. Clay xvas
spread over the fair saxvnjs three weeks
ngo, nnd it is expected thnt this will do
a lot of good.
Pine Valley is looking for a profes
sional, .limmie Govnn has been the pro
there long before the first hole was
opened for play, but he is going into
the sporting good" business and the
club is looking for his successor. It is
n very fine job and doubtless there will
be plenty of applicants.
Hoffner Better Player
George W. Hoffner won the North Hills
tournnment largely because he plajed
better golf. The final match xvith Eddie
Styles was won and lost right on the
short holes. Hoffner xx-on three of them
and halved another and Styles xvon one
of them. Nenrly every time Hoffner
drove the green and this gax-e him a
big advantage over his opponent. There
is no doubt thnt his 34 in the morning
round of his match xvith Fred Knight
wns ns fine n bit of golf ns wns ever
seen in this city, and he lost one stroke
through n brassey out of bounds. In
both medal and match playing he ia
excellent nnd he ought to figure promi
nently in the coming local champion
ship. It is the third final he has been in
nnd the first time he has come through,
losing nt Rnla and Atlantic City. It Is
the sixth final that Styles has figured
in and he has yet to win a tournament.
Tourney Well Handled
The tournament wau ably handled,
particularly in view of the fact that
it was the first one tho club has ever
held. The club xvas most hospitable
nnd on the last night of the toumument
it entertained the winners nnd runners
up of the various flights at dinner. The
golf throughout wns excellent nnd in
ttc great majority of the first sixteen
matches was as good as has been seen
in this city.

of age, stronger looking than one which averages twenty-tit.
Coming to the Test
WITH the Giants in the West on alien sod and the White tiox in the East
upon hostile loam, we are now approaching the test in both league.
Reaching June, these two clubs looked to be as pre-eminent as they did in
1017, when they mopped up and met.
They have had, without a question, the two strongest looking machine
in their circuits.
But neither has hnd to face the test of a long tour until now. The show
ing made by 'the txvo pitching stnffs hns been especially surprising, as neither
looked to have nearly as much stuff concealed about their persons as they
have shoxvn.
Both clubs in the main are made up of veterans who should look better
in summer heat than through the spring chill.
JINLESS some unlooked-for turn arrives they will meet again next
1 fall, to iesimiJ where they left off, when Zim lit out after Eddie
Collins firo years ago.
