Joe Tiplitz Eager For Championship Fight With Johnny Kilbane ■ JOE TIPLITZ Phil Glassman. manager of Joe Tiplitz, who made such a good im pression at the Motive Power arena here, writes to say that this lad has now moved from New York to Phila delphia for permanent residence and has but one artibition, to get a crack at Johnny Kilbane's featherweight title. Tiplitz has been coming along at a rapid gait and defeated every lead ing featherweight of class, includ ing a one-sided victory over the featherweight champion of England, Joey Fox. Tiplitz has beaten such boys as Dave Medar twice, Frankie Clarke twice, Sammy Schiff, frankie Coni- f re>, Packey Hommey and recently) gained the majority of the news- 1 paper decisions over Johnny Dundee,) the fighting Scotch-Wop, at Shibe ! Park in this city. Phil Glassman, manager of Tip- j litz, is ready to post a forfeit to j bring the match between Tiplitz and Kilbane for a title match. Glassman several times made Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane's manager, a proprosition'of a meeting between Kilbane and Tip litz but each time Dunn refused, claming that Joe was too tough a man to face the champion. Glassman claims that Tiplitz should be given first consideration for a title match as his protege has beaten the most important conten der for the title in Joey Fox of Ens land.

Some idea of the immensity of the arena may be obtained from the fact that it is four times as large as the arena in which Jack Johnson bat tered Jim Jefferies to defeat in Reno, Nev., and capable of seating tour times as many persons. Ap proximately 1,750,000 feet of lum ber has been used in the structure. Not a bolt has been used, the en tire building being held together by nails of which two carloads or 50,- 000 pounds have been driven. All new lumber has entered into the construction and this will be sold after the contest. Although the structure was orig inally planned for 50.000 persons, a load of 80,000 persons was taken as the basis of the estimate and, instead of allowing 175 pounds per person, as is done in ordinary con struction for "live loads," an aver age of 200 pounds was taken. This gave a total "live load" of 8,000 tons, but to allow even a further amount of safety margin, construc tion was based upon a load of 10,- 000 tons. Nor is the actual safety of the spectators the only thing which has been considered. Every effort has been made to make it certain every ttcketholder will get the seat to which his ticket entitles him. To take charge of the big crowd, there will be four grand entrances, one each at the north, south, east and west side of the arena. At each of these will be four runways, one each for the $lO, sls and $25 seats, while the fourth will take care of the S3O, S4O, SSO and S6O tlcketholders. In order to obtain entrance it will be necessary to pass muster of three separate ticket takers to guard THINKS DEMPSEY WILL BE BEATEN IN FIVE ROUNDS Willard's Sparring Partner Predicts Challenger's De feat on July 4 By Associated Press. Toledo, June 28.—Victory for Jess Willard with a knockout within five rounds in his heavyweight champion ship contest with Jack Dempsey here July 4, was the prediction to-day of Walter Monahan, chief sparring partner for the champion. Monahan based his prediction on his close knowledge of Willard's physical condition, gained through several years of work with him. It was Monahan who conditioned Wil lard for his match with Jack John son at Havana. Monahan asserted the muscles pro tecting Willard's stomach are like rods of iron and that Dempsey will not be able to hurt him with stomach punches. "It is my honest opinion Dempsey will wear himself out with his dash ing attack within three rounds," said Monohan. "Then he will be ready for what ever Willard wants to hand him. Dempsey will not be able to avoid Willard's right hand uppercut and if Jess connects solidly, a knockout surely will result." Vaudeville Two shows every even ing. Last times for Calvert. There's a show at the Majestic to night that it is claimed vaudeville devotees will not want Splendid Dill to miss. Comedy is nt Majestic the predominating feature of the bill. The Romas Troupe inject some splendid comedy into their act while they are going through a routine- of clever gymnastic feats. Jones and Green lee score a big hit with their snappy dialogue and original comedy songs. Arthur Whitelaw is a favorite with Harrisburgers and is as popular as ever. Mr. Whitelaw has a line of good material which he puts over in a way that keeps the audience in constant laughter. One of the most entertaining sketches of the season is that presented by Arthur Edwards and a competent company entitled "Neglect." The playlet is a mixture of comedy and drama, the story is told in a novel way which keeps the audience interested until the finish. Burke and Betty are a young couple, pleasing in appearance, who offer a good song and dance turn. The bill for the first three days of next week includes Grew and Plates offering their lively hokum comedy sketch entitled "His Master's Voice"; the Four Haley Sisters, a quartet of pretty girls who know how to sing; Juno and Irene Melva, xylophonists; Emily Darrell, dainty comedienne, and the Busch Brothers, trampoline artists.

Precautions against "rushing" of the gates also have been taken. Outside the arena eight feet distant will be a barbed wire fence, or en tanglement, eight feet high and a half mile long to keep the crowd away from the entrances. Closer to the arena will be a board fence twelve feet high, surmounted by barbed wire, while at the top of the arena itself will be a five-foot fence of barbed wire with armed guards stationed every twenty-five feet. The $lO, sls. $25 and S3O and S4O seats also will be separated from each other by barbed wire to prevent oc cupants of one section moving into better scats. There will not be a stairway in the entire arena, which is 600 feet across. Entrance to the various will be along inclined runways, with a grade of one foot to every six feet, making the climb scarcely no ticeable. The runways to the $lO seats, which will be thirty-four feet from the ground, will be 180 feet in length. The S6O tickets entitles holders to stats about fifteen feet from the ring, 176 press seats for newspaper writers taking up the actual ring s'de. There will be forty-two seats in the first row of the reserved seat sections, while the last row of the $lO seats will accommodate 1,800 persons. The first row of $lO seats will be about 276 feet front the mid dle of the ring. James Mclaughlin, an industrial engineer of San Francisco, is the builder of the arena. McLaughlin is known to fight followers from coast to coast as the arenas of some of the most important battles of pugil ism have been constructed by him. "My experience at Reno taught me a lesson," McLaughlin said. "We neglected to put up a barbed wire fence in addition to a wood fence. The result was that about 2,000 men climbed over the top and saw the fight without paying a cent. We'll fool them this time." Will Distribute Land Among Mexican People Mexico City, June 28.—The gov ernment is preparing to distribute among the people approximately 300,000 hectares (of two and one half acres) of land valued at 22,- 000,000 pesos which represents con cessions given to a comparatively few individuals by several govern ments previous to the Carranza regime. All these concessions have been cancelled by the present gov ernment. The persons to whom the land wil be given must agree to cultivate the property.
