Willard Down Five Time. ' The crowd thought the fight waa over in that round. Willard wa down for the fifth time and the count waa ap parently about to end whea the gong sounded. It was a modest gong which could not make itself heard before lo many people, and even Dempsey did aot get it. He crawled through the ropee and was beaded out onto the'sboulders of screaming fans when the truth wa broken to him, and he waa hauled back. Such fighting aa the Kansas ranchman produced was placed on exhibition at the onset. He had stood ia his corner a picture of confidence. Hia smilo seem ed that of one who had a brief and not lipleasnnt task before him. He cer tainly was sll set to go, for just before time was called he was heard to remark t "Let's get this thing over." -.
