The crowd thought the fight was I over in the round. Willard was down I for the seventh time and the count I was apparently about to end when the gong sounded. It was a modest gong, which could not make itself heart be fore so many people, and even Demp sey did not get it. He crawled through the ropes and was headed out I on the shoulders of screaming fans when the truth was broken to him and he was hauled back. Willard Seemed Confident. Such fighting as the Kansas ranch man produced was placed on ehhibi tion at the onset. He had stood in his corner a t,icture of confidence. His smile seemed that of one who had a brief and not unpleasant task before him. He certainly was all set to go, for just before time was called he was heard to say: "Let's get this thing over.'' He measuredl the attendance with disappointed estimates by about 50 per~ cent with an appraising eye. Dempsey presented a contrast. None of the confidence of his training camp statements appeared in his bearing. The man across from hinm outweighed him forty pounds and looked as big and impregnable as a metropolitan bank builing. The mood of the. challenger was plainry thoughtful and more than one ringside gazer whis pered: "Hie's licked now." When they were introduced, .Jessi saunteredl over with the cordial man ner of one dlesiring to reassure a. voungst er, andl took his handls in the friendli est way. Jack's handshake was friendly, too, just then, but it was the last token of friendshi'p of those gloves, for a moment or so later hey were usiang WilIlard! for a chop - ping block and some in the crowd were 'ring. "stop it, stop it, it is plain murder.' Willard's Fate Settled. D~empsey's first effective blows and the ones which probably settled Wil lard's fate were a right over .Jess' shoulder to the jaw, a teft to the body and a right to the jaw. .Jess stag gered. His eye was closmng and he reeled and the challenger, with all the enegry of his pulsing youth, began hitting him at will. The attendance was below expecta tions. Seats were built ror 80,000 and the estimate was that not more than half' of these were occupied, Specula Grove's Tasteless chIll Tonie restores vitality nd energy by pifying and en richling t he blood.

It showed 110 degrees when Willard and Dempsey entered the ring. A Scramble to Dempsey. When Dempsey was proclaimed win ner the crowd surged into the mat in i wild scramble to shake the hand of the new champion. At times some of them topp1ledl over onto the telegraph :ars andI rep~orters just below who were struggling in the mad (Ilsorder to re port what happened. Police eventu Ily dlispersed1 them by hustling Demp soy away. Willard was taken to an iutomobile and dlisappearedl from view >f the crowd which then itself began the task of covering the four miles from the arena to the city as best they could, by street car, automobile >r on foot. While the passing of the heavy. weight champion was one of the most Iramatic events of modern ring his Lory, it was lacking en cirely in high lass boxing. With the exception of he first three snappy left jabs -with which W/illardl opiened the contest, the omibat was simply a series of terrific Irives and smashes virtually all of wvhich were delivered by D~empsey. The first of these crashing swings :o land on Willard's jaw and body ap.. >eared to c'ompletely daze and take iway from the titleholder all power to >ither protect himself or fight back as iad been exp~ected by his admirers, Nhether he could have stod uip bet er undler the battering of Dempsey few years ago will always be a nlootedl question in the years t~o come vhen today's battle is dliscussedl. It annot he denied however that Willard vas in good physical condition and lisplayed gameness up to the moment hat his seconds persuaded him to re inquish the championship to D~emp icy. Willard Much P'unishedl. Thia was dlemonstrated by the fact hat the Kansas giant r'eceived in iine minutes of fighting far more mnaishment than did Jleffries at the lands of JTack .Johnson in their fifteen ound bout at Reino and yet was able o renpond to the bell hnad his seom~n Gr-c t Floor onlarged to care f( r' plenty of room. r Brandon red by the fact t .rs of successful. 4 for the farmer. uickly Paid Off is been employed.

Even after the disastrous ending of the first round Willard flashed a mo mentary comeback in the second, which for a few seconds led to the belief among his supporters that he would weather the storm and carry the battle along on even terms for a few sessions at least. It was the last flicker of a spirit which was stronger than the flesh. Another sweeping right arm smash that flew over Willard's shoulder and landed on his swollen, bleeding jaw, took the last ounce of resistance out of the giant and made his downfall a mat ter of but minutes. An analysis of the newly crowned champion shows nothing new in his fighting methods. He tore into his op ponents at top speed as always has been his fighting custom and simply battered his way to the pinnacle of pugilism by the speed of his blows and the overwhelming power that traveled from the hugh shoulder muscles down through the brawvny arms and into the clinched fists armor ed with five ounce gloves. He made little or no attempt at defensive work and not more than five or isix times A GOOD_[RIEND A good frien standa b~y you when in need. Manring people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test. W. R. White of So. Bloundry St., Manning, endorsed D~oan's ten years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more con vincing testimony ? Mr. White gave the following state ment March 19, 1908: "1 suffered with kidney trouble for some years. I would have to get up a good deal during the niight to pass the kidney secretions which were highly coloredl and contained a brick-dust like sedi ment. I suffered constantly with backaches andl there were sharp pains across my loins. My back ached bad ly and I certninly was in misery. I usedl Doan's Kidney Pills and theyi gave me splendid relief, making me feel better in every way." NEARLY TEN YEARS LATER or on February 15, 1918, Mr. White said: "It is always a pleasure to recom mend Doan's Kidney Pills. I found them the only remedy that did me any goodl; in fact, Doan's curedl me of nll my trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. White had. 1Foste-Milburn Co. ~USE. space r the increased cr Fiat Mr. Alfred Br experience on this .ese men will be able t< house. ke it a banuer season f 'k of R.
