Jack Dempsey fares a new danger. He stands n good chance of being burled under un nvnlnnrlic of gold, for huge, healthy offers are pouring in and the new champion is finding it hard to decide which ones he will" accept. Theatrical engagements as high a? ?10,000 a week are being con 'sldered and many manufacturing concerns are seeking testimonials. If Jack recommends a certain brand of socks or suspenders or underwear he will re- ' wire several thousand dollars. Tverybody wants to be first ill getting the siguuture of the new champion. He is lost in an Eldorado. However, Dempsey is the same open-hearted, happy boy he was last week TVhen he played on tie beach with the children of the neighborhood. His suc cess has ndt turned his head and be has not sent out for a new supply of large-sized hats. He talks to every one. allows himself to be congratulated and always is ready to shake hands. It is different with his manager. This person is conscious of a change in his fortunes and shows it. He has doused himself with a fresh supply of per fume, placed a clean silk handkerchief in his sleeve and really feels sorry for AVoodrow Wilson because he is only the President of the I'nitcd States. Mr. Kearns is a very important person these days, and the other hundred million common citizens of this country should erect a monument or something In his honor and also thank him for remaining in our midst. But Dempsey is entirely too popular and is too good a fellow to feel the effects of swellcd-hcadedness. and will enjoy the popularity he deserves. He worked hard for the championship, knocked off every aspiring heavyweight .with the exceptions of Willie Meehan anil Rilly Miske and never hesitated to Jon the gloves against a worthy foe. Even now he says he will not go into retirement. He loves to fight, and if Georges Carpentier. Tom Reckett or any of those foreign champions wish to argue over the question of supremacy they will be accommodated. Jack may fight again on Labor Day. m thc champion left Toledo flat awl alloircd the town r:, VERTEIW.ir 4n mirtinnl ntnnn irUhntii him.

WillarcTs Training Quarters and Eye Closed Same Day WILLARD has left for his home in Kansas, He departed silently and no brass band accompanied him to the station. The right side of his face stljl was swollen, bis eye closed and a couple of teeth were conspicuous by their absence. His ninety-eight-pound wife led him by the arm. Jess was keenly disappointed over the outcome. No longer is he a gate attraction, for the public wouldn't pay a telephone slug to see liim. It must have, been tough when he awoke on Saturday morning, caressed the right side of bis face and realized he could not go out to his training quarters that day and pick up a couple of thousand dollars to show how a champion should not train for a big fight. His training quarters and his eye were closed on the game day. Now that it is all over the wise persons are telling each other that they knew Willard was a bum because he didn't have the proper system of training. These gents should hare pulled that stuff a week ago, for they had plenty of opportunity" to form an opinion. Jess lost, and because he lost they say his $3.', training was all wrong. Perhaps it was. tL'l w nntntad ,t a mimtli nvro that Willard needed a boss and it would he Oj, difficult for him to direct his own work. That is what happened. The big vLA"boy had other things besides training on his mind and was kept so busy that iV he foreot to devote much time to fighting. tJ lit now looks as if Jess was oue of the promoters of the show or drew big percentage for his efforts. He -visited the ticket office downtown ight last week and conferred with Rickard and Flournoy. He would drive there about 0:30 and remain for about one-halt hour. He held a 1 lengthy conference on Thursday nigh't, which was not the best thing to do when 'he had to defend his title on the following day. , T.d ...o mnrn in tnrpBtn,!

LOST IN THE THIRD Referee States Big Bout Offi cially Was Stopped in That Session RICKARD PAYS BOTH MEN Toledo, O., July 7. Because of the controversy over the duration of the' heavyweight championship contest be-, twecn Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, and whether Dempsey should be credited with a knockout, Ollie Pecord, referee ofUhe bout, ruled last night that Wil lard had been knocked out in the third round. Befcrcc Pecord also ruled that the fight ended at the close of the third, round, despite the fact that. the towel was not tossed into the ring from Wil- lard's corner until the bell had sounded for the fourth rcAnd. Willard, how ever, did not leave his chair to answer the call for the fourth round. Willard was disturbed last night by rumors that he was dying, that he had been removed to a hospital and that he was dead. The defeated, champion has entirely recovered from the effects of the punishment be received, and has de cided to motor to his home in Law rence, Kan., as soon as his Injured eye is healed. Airs. Willard and a few per sonal friends will 'make the trip with him. Kickard Announced that both the boxers were paid in full last night, Dempsey was given $271500 In cash, while Willard received 580,000 in Lib erty Bonds and the remaining .$20,000 of his $100,000 guarantee in cash. Souvenir hunters started to tear down the arena today, and twenty policemen were guarding the structure today. HE HAD SOME PULL 75-YEAR-OLD JUDGE SURPRISES CRITICS Isaac Johnson, Delaware County Jurist, Beat the Bol- sheviki, Made Trip to Battle and Picked Dempsey to Win By .TAMES S. CAROLAN the Bolshevik! fTIHE battle against -L was on. For davs Delaware county was at war with the labor uisturDers Judge Isaac Johnson was busy trying the case but never permitted anything like a legal battle to keep his mind off the Willard -Dempsey bout. The famous Media judge, a seventy-five-year-old youth, is a lover of boxing. He never witnessed a championship box ing match, but in his days refereed many impromptu engagements in the streets. He was a fighting son of fighting times. lie wasmuch interested in the heavy weight clash. He saw much of Dempsey last fall while the new champion was acting in the capacity- of labor scout at the Sun Shipbuilding Company. Tbe judge is a great judge of talent and one fearless in expressing his opinion. He saw Demon Jack crush Levinsky and Porky Flynn last fall and at that early time, insisted Jack would be the next king of his division. Discussed Bout I Judge Johnson discussed the big bat jtle freely and openly1 for weeks before I the struggle. He confided among friends 'that nothing would be better than to I have a ringside seat nt the big melee I in Toledo. - News of this nature travels I rapidly. Along about this same time Samuel M. Vaiiclain. president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, concluded that it would be an excellent outing. He de cided to entertain a party, and the first man invited to make the trip was Judge Isaac Johnson. But the judge had not thought of the Bolshevikl. Trouble started and flocks of the undesirables were guestg of nplnwnre county. The trial was Frank Moran Is Seeking Bout With Jack Dempsey Toledo, July 7. Frank Moran, who once attempted to beat Willard and failed and who predicted Wil lard would defeat Dempsey. now seeks a match with the new title holder. Moran said he would like a twenty-round bout with Dempsey for the championship. In picking Willard as victor over Dempsey, Moran seems to have been influenced by his belief that if he failed iu his contest with the champion, Demp sey could not succeed. The opinion among experts still on the ground is that Moran, who is one of the slowest heavyweights in the country, would be lucky to last a round and a half.

His arms and limbs are very feminine. He lacks tne muscular development of Dempsey. The big fellow hasn't a chance." Less than a half hour later when the party was leaving the arena, Mr. Vauclain turned to the judge: "The greatest fight critic of the age. I read all the dope of the experts,' but yours, judge, was the best. I here suggest that you resign your judgeship and become a scribe."

Just one-half hour later the judge reported to the juryman that all was well at his home and to continue. A Real Critic Judge Johnson worked fast, cleaned up the case on Wednesday afternoon and reached Broad Street Station in time for the westward Journey, Now the judge is no amateur critic. He was at the ringside and his eyes missed nothing.

Jeff Smith, holder of the European tjtular belt, and Fanama Joe Gans, 158-pound king of the Isthmus region, will meet in an eight-round match Wednesday night at the Atlantic City Sporting Club. At the request .of a committee of Elks, Fromoter Herman Taylor decided to put on this contest the night before his' regular show night. Smith Is fresh from a ten-round vic tory over Mike Gibbons, of St. Paul, on the Fourth of July at Kansas City. He bas made a big impression on fight fans at the shore, having shown to advantage there in two previous matches, knocking out Jim Booker and beating Frank Cnrbone. This will be Gans s first appearance at Atlantic City. The negro has been training in New York for the last mouth and Taylor believes thc colored man's cleverness and unusually fastness will serve hinf In good stead against Smith.

FIGHT P4CTURES BARRED Films of Wlllard-Dempsey Bout May Never Be Seen In Public Columbus, O., July 7, The Willard Demp&ey fight picturea may. never be seen by the public. In Ohio, at. least, they win not be placed on exhibit. The Ohio censor board today officially rejected the pic tures ns being .unfit to be exhibited in public. The probability of the pictures being shown in other states is believed to de pend upon what construction is to be placed upon 'the-Rodenburg act, which prohibits prjter fight pictures, being handled In Inte'rstate'commerce. If the Uodeuberg act'does'not-bar pic tures of boxing bouts and the Wlllard- Dempsey fight Is construed under the. act as a boxing bout, then It is believed here that the 'pictures may be shown in other states if approved by the state censor boards, v I'nder the Ohio state law the fight was considered to be a boxing match. Takes George Underdown Six Hours to Land 42-Pound Channel Bass Jack Dempsey has nothing on George Underdown, of Logan. The latter is also a new champion. Not only that, but he is now the president of the Ocean City Yacht Club. His cham pionship attainment was staged at Ocean City when he battled with a forty-two-pound channel bass for six hours, finally landing his piscatorial prize'without as sistance. Before the election of the new presi dent of the. shore club, Mr. Underdown was told feat he must give a demonstra tion of the art of the reel. He did and with superb eclat. Now he is the newly crowned heavyweight channel bass champion of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and all points east. The big bass will be stuffed and put on permanent exhibition at the Ocean City Yacht Club. Hall Defeats Theodore Pelt New York. July 7. Walter Mtrrill Hall.

The Next One "1XTE HAVE a suggestion to make In regard' to-the next heavyweight cb&ai ' ' pionship. It is that the two boxers start their training a year ahead and charges fifty cents admission In place of a quarfer. This should help just a trifle,' anyway. Willard and Dempsey were both very unbusinesslike In their recent jamboree. It never occurred to either through their training period to charge spectators, two bits each to see them cat.' This was an oversight that will very likely" never happen again. ' Defying Detractors IT PAINS-us very much to hear people' say that Willard and Dempsey over commercialized their escapade, episode or exchange of wallops. The facts in the case fail to bear out this contention. Neither charged the city of Toledo a cent for walking along the streets. Both graciously and pmiably refused to collect any revenue from acquaintances who spoke to them." And so far as we can find out neither sent In a bill to the Toledo Chamber of Commerce for deigning to honor the city with a six weeks' vltit. Why not give them credit for their generosity? ' Peck the Pickler AN AROUSED bystander desires to know if an other ball player in his tory ever batted around .250 for nine or ten years and then suddenly turned in to lead the league-as late as Jiily. So far ns we .can round up the facts In the case, Peck's flurry it unique. Most league leaders at this stage of affairs are generally old members of the .300 Club. Peck's amazing ascent along the old Ash -Furniture Circuit this season has lifted him far above nil rival shortstops. He has always been a brilliant fielder. The combination of his infielding talent and his slashing work' at bat sets him, ' for the time being, where Hans Wagner left off. Last season, against weak pitching, Peck was far below .300. This season, against fine pitching, he ls far above it. Which is merely another of the quaint twists, that help make baseball what it is.
