Copyright. 1919, by Public Lettorr Co r'S about time to draft out the tnuty tape measure nml pritiK n few brutal statistics and musty rnpiiMirempnts foaturitiR the pair of hiKh-priccd per formers who will put on a $127,500 net for the chanipiotuhip or oni(tlilng in Toledo the afternoon of July 4. Stump sponker nr..l rurlistone orators arc laying particular stre upon the atmospheric displacement of Jess Willard, trgulrjR that a bloke built W feet sk inrhrs from the ground and weiRhins 250 pounds should knock a little shrimp like Prmp'-ey for a goal with ne mauler draped behind his back. ThK is n cocrincins argument if tli- aforesaid brntal statistics and musty measurements are not dragged in. Jess has height, weight and reach on his younger opponeirt, and every one Bust admit that those three adantages will help some when the brawl begins. But outside of that there is little difference on the trustv tape First, take the chest measurements. Willard displays a 40-inch development normal and 40$4 Inches expanded, while Jack is 42 inches normal and 40 inches expanded. But it isn't the chest that will win the fight. The arms, which propel the terrific punches, are the things to watch, and in this respect there is some Interesting dope. Willard's biceps measure If! inches and the forearm 14. Dcmpsey measures 14 inches in both the forearm and biceps, and his arms are like bundles of steel springs. Jack's wrist is larger than Willard's. which no doubt is a surpr.&e. The place -where the challenger wears his watch Is 11 inches in circumference, one half Inch more than tb big boy's. It is neck-and-i-cek nround the collar. Dcmpsej takes izp 17, while Willard is one-quarter of an inch larger. The waist line of Jess is tix inches tdore than the youngster, but jnu nepr can tell about waist lines. Some times too much development is like spotting n guy ten balls in an eight-ball pool match. For that reason we can't ghc Jess much on that sW-lncli ad vantage. Jess is two inches larger in the thigh, with 25 inches, but the ankles are the same size, each nwauring !l inches. SrOTT you have the dope. Willard is bigger, heavier and has longer ' arms, and should he able, through these physical advantages, to hold off the smaller man with case, However, Jeis is thirteen or more years older than Jack; has been out of the nrtne ring game for virtualhi four years, while Dcmpsey has been fighting all comers for the last two years. Jack knotcs how to hit, hi judgment of distance is good and he has confidence in himself. This is something which requires tall thinking when doping out the tanner. "Good Little Man ..." Argument THE-old question of a good little man meeting a good big man bobs up again and can be argued both ways. Eery man is human and suffers pain, even if he is as big as a house. If Willard is hit by a street oar he will take the count, the same as Dempsey. There's no difference in size or weight if a vital pot is reached. This chatter about big guys being able to absorb punishment Is all hokum. Willard could take everything handed out by Benny Leonard or Johnny Kilbane, but Dempsey is a powerful hitter, every bit as strong as the champion, and if he starts socking them into the body or jaw Jess will be seriously annoyed. A football player who weighed 230 pounds once told me he always had trouble with opponents who weighed around 10. This might be true in the boxing game. Itjis not our intention to pick a winner or give Dempsey the better of it in this screed. We are just stating facts and disputing the statements that Wil- jjfcifclard fa to big to be injured. He is not BUjinattlnn la Pnn T"lmiAnv lilt llimV I' Bob Fitzslmtnons used to topple .'em "little" Jack Dillon once hung the K. O. Joa Waleott had little difficulty in smearing the truck horses, sometimes con ceding, fifty and sixty pounds. Then again we can look back a few scars and recall. the battle between Stanl' v Ketchell and Jack Johnson. Ketchell was a great little fighter. He could hit, had the heart of a lion and did not know the meaning of fear. He waded through the meu ip his class and sought nigger game. lie finally was matched with Johnson, and what happened to him was a shame. Jack outclassed him from the start and Won as he pleated. WN THE first round the negro stuck out his left hand playfully, jabbed Ketchell in the face and sent him flat on his back for a short count. After that it teas just a question of time ichen the final wallop was put over. Ketchell Too Small for Johnson JOHNNT LOFTUS. who trained Ketchell for the Johnson match, said the great little fighter had no chance after the first minute. "Stanley was entirely too small," be said. "Johnson towered above him, had weight, height and reach and in addition was trained to the minute. He just toyed -with Ketchell, and after that knock-down in the first I knew I was in the losing corner. However, Ketchell tore in every round, carried the fight to Johnson and took a terrible beating. In the seventh round his front teeth were turned up into the roof of his mouth and I had to push them down. He was the gamest man who ever stepped into a ring and did not quit until he lay duzed and helpless in the twelfth round after Johnson had landed a crushing blow on the chin. "Time and again I told Ketchell to step back and box instead of adopt ing rushing tactics, but he refused to listen. He was knocked donn in the fourth, but even that did not teach him a lesson. He wanted to win the heavy. Weight title and threw caution to the winds. . "Between rounds he did not appear nervous and every time I sponged him off he would say : " 'How do I look? Keep my hair combed and wipe off all of the blood.' "He said this at the beginning of every round, and at the start of the twelfth told me that something was about to happen. He really believed he Was about to win, for when he stepped out he again rushed Johnson and sud denly -whipped a hard right to the head. The blow landed high, but Johnson dropped like a shot. I taw he was uninjured and jelled to Ketchell to step away. Stanley, flushed with visions of victory, crowded his man and when Jcclc arose started another punch for the jaw. "It never landed. Johnson let drive with his right and hit Ketchell so bard that he shot clear over bis head, landing on all fours near the ropes. "Ketchell was knocked cold. tCX DON'T care to use this as an argument in the Dempsey -Willard 'A lout, because I am not trying to pick a winner. But I never will forget the downfall of a good little man before a good big man. Per haps it was because Johnson was in wonderful condition and at the ,i height of his career. If Willard is in condition he will give Dcmpsey lots of trouble, and if not well, I want to say again that I am not picking a winner in this scrap." "??

And when he looked around and sato between him and the led His spouse had laid a ttymie tcith a rolling pin he saidt "I'm torru, dear, that I'm so late. I know I am to blame, But I have been out playing Bonnie Scotland's grand old game." Whereat she telfed the rolling pin icith still a firmer clutch, And showed him by this chorus that the duffer teat lnJ)utchr Chorut "I know about your golf, old Md, where twenty drinks are par; Bow all your short approaches leave you close against the bar. You move along from cup to cup until you're orey-eyed The only Scotch game you can play has water on the side." In vain the wretched golfer took an oath upon his death; In vain because he could not put a back-spin oit hit breath. In vain he foozled each excusa and topped each alibi, Until at last he played himself into a wretched lie. Me said that he'd been "pressing and he spoke of "perfect form," t To find that he was standing in the pathway of a storm, The lady took a Vardon grip upon that rolling pin. And as she took a. Hag en swing she said above the 'din: Chorus "I know about your golf, old boy, where twenty drinks are par" eto. As for the Dope I AST season Gawy Cravath hit less than .300 against the worst pitching major league baseball ever knew. This season, a year older (at an age where a year is a long time). Gavry hits over .400 against the best pitching the game has known in several years. Or, as the bard remarked : 'Twas"evcr thus within a pinch, ' 2fo matter what the play; For when you think you've doped a cinch, Go bet the other way. 0y THE other wing, when you go against the dope you manage to get it under the left ear just the same. Cities and Villages AN INQUIRING reader desires to know why it is most of the star ball players come from small towns while most of the great golfers come from the big cities. He writes : "Small towns hare produced Mathewson, Johnson, Alexander, Cobb, Speaker, Doyle, Baker, Collins, Young, etc., while New York, Chicago and Boston have produced Travers, Travis, Evans, Gardner, Ouiuiet, Kirkby. Why is this?" Mainly that in a small town a kid has more room and a better chance to play baseball than he has in a larger city. Whereas most of the great golf courses are around big cities, where the small-town youngsters rarely even see the game. AyD the make-up of every game depends upon the kids icho take if up.

One to eight that Dempsey knocks Willard out in the first four rounds. 2. Three to two that Willard wins. His dope is that if Dempsey wins it will be by a quick knockout, after the way in which he dropped Fulton, Morris and others; that if Dempsey doesn't win by a knockout in the first four rounds Willard will almost Burely win. Which is no bad slant ancnt the general situation. e (tEliPSEY'S. best punch is a right swing to the jaw, carrying a U knockout" What better punches are theret .
