JACK DEMPSEY WINS CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT. Champion No Match for Younger Man, Who Knocks Him Down J Five Times in First Round. ! ^ k Toledo, July 4.?By virtue of one of the speediest and most onesided battles that ever 'locided a big fistic event, Jack Dempsey today became the world champion heavy weight boxer. To all intents and purposes he - - ? -? j je ! whipped the huge jess wmiara, iav- | orite in the meagre betting, in one j round. Dempsey thought the referee I had announced him winner and actu- [ ^ ally left the ring. But he was called j back and the butchery continued for j two more rounds when Jess, sitting \ in his corner, with a bewildered look i L on his swollen face, failed to respond j v xo the gong for the fourth round. 4*It was no use to continue," said j the ex-champion. "My strength went,' from me in the first round." He sat I there, apparently the most surprised ; man in the United States at the mo-! ment. His right eye was closed and! his right cheek swollen and blue with j bruises. Blood covered his body and his arm hung so helplessly over the ropes that it seemed as if a child; > might give him further abuse without p rousing his interest. 9 Dempsey was breathing hard when the fight ended, but it was from exer tion and not from punishment. The new champion, whose full voting a name is William Harrison Dempsey, tl escaped almost unhurt, but as he had, S been using his arms like trip ham- g mers on the anatomy of his opponent! for nine crowded minutes in a sun, b that sent the thermometer to 110 de- e: grees, his heart was still pumping at S nrassure and he appreciated the "g \ *?b" x ? . breathing spell. j it Rain of Blows. it] In the first few seconds of the con- g test it looked as if the experts who " had been assigned to keep detailed n ? ' account of all blows struck might S come measureably close to doing so,! . but it was only for a fraction of a ^ moment. After that the experts did well to count Jack's blows, let alone ^ take note of how each was made. The challenger knocked the big fellow down five times in the first round and TI had him hanging helplessly on the ^ ropes or draped over his own should-, ers most of the time when he was not1 taking advantage of the count. The crowd thought the fight was ^ over in that round. Willard was down for the seventh time and the count ^ was apparently about to end when'jc the gong sounded. It was a modest ^ going which could hot make itself heard before so many people and ^ even Dempsey did not get it. Me crawled through the ropes and was headed out onto the shoulders of ' screaming fans when the truth was broken to him, and he was hauled * back. k Such fighting as the Kansas ranch- j man produced was placed on exhibi-' tion at the onset. He had stood in his corner a picture of confidence. . His smile seemed that of one who * * had a brief and net unpleasant task ^ before him. He certainly was all set to go, for just before time was called he was heard to remark: "Let's get this thing over." , He measured the "ttendance, " which disappointed estimates by about 50 per cent, with an appraising eye. Dempsey presented a contrast. ^ None of the confidence of his train* ing camp statements appeared in his ^ rnl - ???*? ? fvnm Viim ' bearing. . me man a^ivso uvu. outweighed him 40 pounds and look- ^ ed as big and impregnable as a metropolitan bank building. The mood of the challenger was plainly thought-; 1 ful and more than one ringside gazer whispered: "He's licked now." i When they were introduced Jess ] sauntered over with the cordial man-, 8 ner of one desiring to reassure a,* ^vfoungster and took his hands in the jc ! 7 friendliest way. Jack's handshake jx .was friendly, too, just then, but it iT ' was the last token of friendship from j f those gloves. A minute or so after j1 they were using Willard for a chop- j ping block and some in the crowd 2 V were crying, "Stop it! Stop it! It isjt plain murder." i } Thfee Powerful Blows. ^ Dempsey's first effective blows and ( ~the on&S which apparently settled Willard's fate, were a right over J ' J -Ll? - 1a#4- ! ?Jtsss's snouia to wie j<tw, a kh i>v VliV | body and a right to the jaw. Jess!^ staggered. His eye was closing and , he reeled, and the challenger, with all 1 the energy of his pulsing youth, began hitting him at will. ? r Tfc* attendance was below expectation. Seats were built for 80,000 and the esti ?te was that not more1 than half of these were occupied. Speculators lost heavily. They re-i sold their tickets at anything from $5 to $15 under gate prices. No betting was reported at the ringside nor! was there much elsewhere as tar as could be ascertained. The heat of the day .was terrific, Intensified as it was by the vast acreage of jrreen lumber.

I have sent many 'birds' home in the same bruised condition that I am in now and I know how1, they feel. I sincerely wish Dempsey all of the luck possible and hope that1 he garners 'the" rft&es that*~ go with the championship. I have had my fling at the title. I was champion for j four years.

He does not expect to leave Toledo for three or four days. I ? -? NEWBERRY COUNTY SUNDAY I SCHOOL CONVENTION.
