condition this yenr, nnd whllo hla eamo
I In Washington showed that ho was still
'lometlmes prono to losa his eensa of
S'plite-locatlon, still It was a raw day nt
lie capital, ana any puciicr mignt, nave
gon atray that day. Brown has a lot
tt friends In this city, made during tho
four years ho was a member of Mac's
Ittm.
Under Donovan tho Yankees seem to

',lt will be recoiled by thoso who saw tho
, jugmanaers inni wio ;iiuieiic3 iioi Hnt
crday that tho visitors took advantage
fef even' weakness displayed by tha homo
'club. This was particularly truo of their
Judgment of the Mack pitchers. Seeing
, that tho youngsters wcro exhibiting a
'.itreakof nlmost unprecedented wlldness,
(.Donovan told his men to stand at tho
tat and not offer nt anything. In tho
flicond Inning, whllo "Wyckoff wa3 In tho
'box. ho rjltchod eleven times on nun np.

Uvdo. In that wny ho keeps In closer
Much with his players and their mnvw
ftian he could if ho sat on tho bench ex
it claalvclr.
L ponovan Is not discouraged at tho way
jlifhlch tho newspapers havo been pole
star fun at his club, On tho contrary ho
llihopcful that his club will mako at least
Jarfalr showing In tho raco for tho 1913
ttu.
EI am not predicting that wo will win
llie pennant this year," said Donovan
filter Saturday's game, "but I do think
that tho boys nro in good enough condl
lioa to give sovcral teams a run for a
place several times removed from tho bot
ttom. Our club Is fairly well balanced and
Rwhlle there nro no stare of Kront mannl.
Itudeln tho list, If thoy play together, as I

But if you care to plunge somewhat

Another Why
J-car sir:
Why Is It that sporting pages these
days nro printing so much about golf?
Ilnw docs this game come in for so much
space? I!. I..
Ono tenson may be that thero ato now
something ovpt 700,000 golfcis In the
U. S. of A, Another reason Is that this
frenzied army embraces nil wulks, varie
ties, ages and sexes of life. And still
another whciefore.may enter In tho fact
thnt golf news or golf chatter Is tho
first thing a golfer reads after his eager
fingers havo opened tho paper at tho
sportlvo divide. Aro any further reasons
required?
"How much." asks S. .1. II., "does Jess
Wlllnrd know about bong foot work,
blocking and other details?"
How much difference does It mako how
much ho knows ns long as ho remains 6
feet Ii Inches high, weighs 1.10 pounds, has
a reach of S3 Inches, keeps In good con
dition nnd wears a concrete Jaw?
Without Blinking
"Is WIHard," queries another bystnnder,
"28 years old or It years old?" Wlllurd
says ho Is 23. A certain Kansas tomb
stone says ho Is 33. If tt Is up to us to
call ono of tho two a liar, we'll take 11
chanco on hurling tho chargo Into the
teeth ot tho tombstone.
AVasn't That Enough 7
"Did you over notice," neks Plato Pete,
"that President Wilson's big slump In
popularity dated from the printing of
tho dispatch In which It wiih shown that
after missing ait easy putt ho merely re
marked 'Tut-tut,' In place of tho usual?"

MARATHON RACES TODAY
"HOW I WON WORLD'S RING
CHAMPIONSHIP" BY WILLARD
Titlcholdcr Tells of Early Struggles lo Get Into Game and How
Managers "Gouged" Him on Financial End.
Then He Met Tom Jones.
By JESS WILLARD
Heavyweight Chsmplon of tho 'World.
It happened that when I landed In Chi
cago I did not cut much of a swath, bo
caubo It appeared that the sporting edi
tors had been surfeited with "whllo
hopes," now happily extinct. The mar
ket had been glutted with a lot of big
fellows, good, bad and Indifferent, but
most of them of tho latter classification,
and as a result what I had to say didn't
get much attention.
Ktlll, tho bold ambition was there, and
I kept whacking nway nt It gamely
enough, determined to force my way
along. I had threo fights In 1D12 near
Chicago. I whipped Bull Young In slc
rounds In Fort Wayne, Intl.; then trim
med Frank Bowers In St Charles, III., In
threo rounds, and then down at South
Chicago I ngnlu defeated John Young,
this tlmo In flvo rounds.
Then tt was that Charley Cutler, who
was handling my affairs, decided to try
tho metropolitan game. So no went Hnst.
Tha first light I got thero was with
Arthur Pelky, tho man who was In tho
ring with Luther McCarthy tho day tho
latter died In an Alborta ring. That wns
on July 20, 1912. I bested Pelky without
much trouble, but th o bout didn't seem
to mako much of a hit. They continued
to laugh at me, but knew t could bent
nil ot them nnd kept whacking away
nt It. Three weeks later I got on with
Luther McCarthy and bested him, I
thought.
Thnt seemed to create a little more re
spect for me, but It did not got mo much
in ti money sense. Finding myself de
serted In Xew York nnd without much
money, I went to Tom O'Rourko, but that
veteran manager wnnted SO per cent, of
my money, so I dropped him. Billy Olb
son ndvlsed mo to hook up with Hilly
Heckler, his brother-in-law, which I did.
Now, to show how much money I was

of the ISth Ward, will try to redeem
himself In combat with Jack McCnrron,
of Allcntown, at tho Palace A. C, Nor
rlstown, tomorrow night. The Fighting
Irishman stopped Itovolro In their last
meeting.
Jack McCarron would mako n corking
opponent for Young Ahearn, who easily
whipped Gus Christie at the National Club
Saturday night. Tho Brooklvnlto Is a
clever fighter but JlcCnrron's lu-llghtlng
would servo him In good si end against
Jnke.
Seven boers were suspended at the re
cent meeting ot tho Wisconsin Boxing
Commission hccatiao of rule violations.
Two boxers uppented In nu unsanctioned
encounter; three tlghteis stalled; ono
failed to put in an nppenrnuce for a
match, and nnothor drew a penalty for
deliberately fouling his opponent. This
proves conclusively that tho Wisconsin
Commission will not tolerate nny fooling.
Kddlo O'Kecfe, of this city, will meet
Kid Wolfe, of Cleveland, in n 10-round
semi-final to a battlo of half a score of

getting, I will say that my share; of th
receipts out of both the Pelky and th1
McCarthy battles was exactly 6 pa cent,
of the gross. At tho Garden, too, they
wnnted me to fight Gunboat Smith for
this same old coin, which wasn't enough
to lho on. I asked them for 15 per Cent.,
and ngaln they laughed at me. I said
I wouldn't fight for less, nnd they told
mo I hod better loave town.
I didn't need n second Invitation and.
tvent to Buffalo. It wns worse there, as
they offered me n $." preliminary and
nothing else. But I found a llttlo club
owner who wns willing to put me on In
a main event, nnd I knocked Sailor Whtto
out for him in ono round. Then they alt
wanted me. Finally they offered mo 20
per cent, to meet One Hound Davis, but
Davis went to New York, whero Soldier
Kcarnti knocked him out. Then I nsknd,
for 23 per cent, saying Davis was not as
good ti card as before. Thereupon they
had ino barrod for a year. Fine, wasn't
It?
A yenr later, however, they stilt wanted
me to light Davis, nnd I did, tho fight
drawing $7100 In Buffalo. So you see my
domnnds wero not exorbitant nt nil, In
cidentally, I disposed ot Davis in the
second round.
It was along nbout this tlmo that I
began to bethink myself of getting a
regulnr manager, who could push my
claims nnd handlo my business tho way
I thought It should bo handled. My con
tract with Cutler was still In force, and
I went back to Chicago. There I talked
with Tom Jones, who said ho would take
mo If I could clear mysolf with Cutler.
We dickered over tho price of tho con
tract, flnnlly Betting It at J2C00, which
Jones agreed to pny.
Later, Jones went to California, and I
followed him some time afterward. I
met him In San Francisco, whore wo re
newed negotiations, dually settling on the
wholo thing, I to get half of what he
paid for tho contract. And that's how I
enmo to tie up with Jones.
PHILLIES STUN GIANTS
WITH SWIFT PACE; BIG
TESREAU HURLS TODAY
John McGraw Now Knows
He Is Up Against Real
Ball Club Moran Sur-'
prises Fans With His
Fighting Team.
NEW YOniC, April 19,-John McQraw,
aroused to tho realization thnt the Phlt
lies this season arc a fighting combina
tion nnd will not retire on a few early
laurels, has been doing some thinking
during the last IS hours. In this after
noon's gamo with the Quakers, MqGraw
Is determined to put nil his power In the
line-up. The easy manner In which Alex
ander held the Giants down Saturday,
while the Phils pounded Mathewson,
Stroud ahd Petty, puts nn entirely new
complexion on tho present series.
New A'orkcrs believed that tho Phillies
would bo easy picking for the Giants In
spile of the way In which they tore
through tho defense set up by the world's
ohnn-.plons In tho two games staged In
Boston. The Giants always havo figured
''nat they had the Phillies beaten before
they met on tho field; This year the last
man has to be out In tho ninth before
Pat Moron's spirit yields to the Inevita
ble. In the gamo this afternoon at the Polo
Grounds McGraw expects to send Jeff
Tesrcau against the Phillies. In retalia
tion for this Moran probably will Use
Mayer.
It appears to local expertdom that Fa,t
Moran has surpassed any manager tha
Phillies have ever had In getting to
gether a team which looks good Respite
tho tunny setbacks thut have come dur
ing the lust two years. Pre-season pre
dictions honored the Phlladelphlans with
eighth pluco ut best. After looking at
them on tho Held, thoy havo Jumped llvo
or six notches already. The tact that
young Bancroft looks to be a real short
stop Is proof that Moran Is going to have
a. team which is not weak in Holding.
The only trouble with the Phillies la the
chance that some of the pitchers will
not come through us expected. However,
if Alcxnndor and Mayer are properly as
sisted by their hurling teammates, the
Phillies should be In tho running from
now until tho tlnlsh.
ALEXANDER'S WORK IN BOX
Even New York Can Seo Class of
Phils' Star Pitcher.
Keyword Broun, of the New York
Tribune, has this tu say:
"Gruver Cleveland Atexandqr never saw
a golf courbe, and tho poor fellow can't
even play checkers. The record books
nearly always show one or two men with
a better nvernge than Alexander, but
baseball players themselves are almost
unanimous in calling him the greatest
pucner in me gumg touay.
