WILLARD'S PEEVED ACTIONS
PREPARATORY TO MORAN BOUT
MAKE HIM UNPOPULAR CHAMP
Titleholder, With but Two Matches in as Many
Years, Does Not Impress Public Because of
Wry Disposition and "Money-inad" Habit
PEEVISH, petulant anil perturbed, Josa Wlllanl has threatened to call off his
ten-round bout with Frank Moran. The world's heavyweight champion Is not
tatlsfled with tho treatment ho has received thui far In Now York and Insists
on receiving all of tho homage- duo a heavyweight champ. Just what that
homapro Is cannot bo determined, but Jess wants It, and that's all thcro Is to It.
Mr. Wlllard, according to tho gentleman who writes under Mr, Wlllard'a
name, says that a llttlo matter llko a M7.G00 purso will not forco him to submit
to "further Indignities at tho hands of tho State Boxing Commission." Ho
declares that ho has a right to train as ho pleases and If tho public wishes to
f,i pay zt cents to seo mm worn, mat is mo puoitos Dusmess. ii mo -juuuu gcis
Kl "stung" tnat is nono or his business, cithor.
For tho past week tho papers havo been full of notices about Al koicii, a
heavyweight boxer, who had been engaged at a salary of $500 to Bpar with Wll
lard each day until March 25. On Saturday it was announced that Itolch would
havo his flrst workout with Jess, and somo 2000 persons paid good money to seo
tho bout. Dcsplto tho largo crowd, however, Wlllard refused to box hla now
sparring partner, cut short his training and left tho hall as quickly as possible.
Wlllard Ungentlcmanly Toward Clialrman Wcnckc
Fred Woncke, chairman of tho Now York Boxing Commission, asked Wlllard
for an explanation and Is said to havo been told "to mind his own business."
Wencko then ordorcd Jess to turn amateur and ccaso charging admission for
tils dally workouts. Then Jess became very angry, and, still talking through
tho gentleman who writes under Wlllard's name, said:
"I'm going to call oft tho Moran bout. That's all thcro Is to It. I won't
stand It any longor. Tho trains aro running to Chicago overy day and I shall
Jump on ono of thorn If I am annoyed any more. Why, In Chicago, they would
lx glad to pay $1 to seo mo train. Why should thoy kick hero when I am charg
ing only two bits?"
That speech shows tho methods being employed by Wlllard and his several
managers whllo preparing for a 10 round no-declslon battlo. , Ho Is out to "got"
tho public and ho "gets" thorn going and coming. Tho match will bring him
more than $50,000, yot ho gots peevish when asked to glvo tho poor, overworked
public a run for Its monoyl
Wlllard Unpopular As Titleholder
Wlllard is nn unpopular champion, if ho can bo called a champion. Ills vic
tory over Johnson has been questioned, especially now that Johnson has admitted
that ho deliberately "laid down" in tho fight in Havana last year. Wlllard won by
a knockout In tho 26th round, but pictures show Johnson with ono nrm over his
eyas to keep out tho sun's rays whllo ho was being counted out. Ho also
seemed to be resting easily Instead of being stretched out, as Is tho caso In all
regular knockouts.
That was tho only big thing Jess has over dono. After tho battlo ho tried to
go on tho stago, but soon discovered that ho couldn't act. Then ho Joined tho
circus and in ono season cleared $93,000. That's qulto a bundlo of money for a
boxer to pull In, especially when ho is not forced to defend his title. Ho has been
potted, feted and flattered by thousands, and now imagines ho Is ns Important
as tho greatest prima donna on tho grand opera stago or tho President of tho
United State's.
Ho will not allow a photographer to take his picturo, unless an order flrst
1 obtained from Tom Jones. 4nd Tom does not wrlto orders for nothing. Last
week a newspaper photographer had tho courago to snap Wlllard whllo ho was
walking in tho street and was punched for his trouble. Joss also ruined tho
camera. This is something unusual for a prizefighter, but It gives us a lino on
tho exaggerated opinion Jess has of himself.
Champion Was Joke Before Johnson Bout
Wlllard Is not training hard for tho battlo on March 25. Ho probably is be
ginning to worry over tho outcomo and fears that a sotback will injuro his "easy
money" with the circus this summer. It must bo remembored that Wlllard Is a
"mado" champion and was a Joko before ho met Johnson. In two years ho has
had but two battles, tho last ono being on April G of last year. Ho knows that
he must show tho public that ho is cither a champion or a falsa alarm, and he
tears tho test. Moran '.a a hard man to beat and it would not bo at all surprising
If Mr. Wlllard asker1. for another postponement at tho last mlnuto.
Moran has berh "showing up" Wlllard slnco tho match was mado. First, he
refused. JSSW'Vjftered him by Tex RIckard as a balm when the battle was shifted
from March 8 to tho 25th. Then ho opened his training quarters to tho public
and allowed thoso who cared to seo him work to do it for nothing. If tho spec
tators wished to glvo anything, there were boxes sent out by charitablo organiza
tions and all donations wont to a worthy cause. And last, Frank is working
faithfully for tho bout and doing his best to get into condition. Wlllard knows
this and appears to bo contracting a severe cold below tho ankles.
Just what tho champion will do in tho next two weeks will be carefully
noted by the Poor Old Public. It can bo seen, however, that Wlllard has paved
tho way for a postponement or a cancellation of tho bout and it Is believed ho
Will welcomo a regular chance to assumo tho tltlo of tho "flghtless champion of
tho world."
Ilorine Denies He Is Through With Athletics
Qeorgo Horlne, the greatest high Jumper tho world has known, and
former holder of the world's record at six feet seven Inches, has written to
friends In this city to deny that ho Is out of track athletics for good, as re
ported from tho coast recently. Instead, Horlne hat a surprise in store, Judg
ing; by his brief announcement. This Is bclloved by athletic men In this city
to be a plan to enter for tho A. A. U. all-round championships this summer
at Newark, to try to outscoro Howard Berry, of Penn, and Alma Richards,
of Cornell, the latter holder of the A. A. V, all-aruund title.
Horlne did glvo up active competition In t!-o high Jump, and will make
no real effort to try to break the high-Jump record, which has now reached
such tremendous height. But he has Just now devoted his time to Javelin
throwing, a hard event to master, and one that can make or break his score
In tho all-round event. Tho Callforntan Is a flno runner nnd hurdler, and
can hold his own with most athletes In this respect. In tho high Jump
bo can oven far outpoint Richards without giving special attention to the
event. Therefore, his action In giving his attention to Javelin throwing, an
entirely new event, proves his Intention of seeking the all-round title.
Wrestling for the last time In Weightman Hall, Miko Dorlzas, Penn's famous
areek athlete, threw tho much-touted Snyder, of Cornell, without exerting him
self. If Dorlzas Is victorious in tho intercolleglates next week ho will be the
first collegiate wrestler to go through his entire career without losing a fall or
decision. An Immense crowd was on hand to see Dorizas in action for tho last
time, and while the spectators were keenly disappointed at Penn'a defeat at
tho hands of Cornell, tho Greek's victory more than atoned for tho Bet-back.
Ted Meredith showed Saturday night that he Is not going back, although
porno of tho New York scribes have declared that his failure to win more races
thlst winter Indicates that sad state of physical affairs. Meredith hasn't been
training recently. His smash of the 660-yard indoor mark Is merely another
proof that as long as he desires to he can beat the world's best athletes
in the middle distance events.
' '
De Neil established a four-season record by defeating the 1016 cliamplons of
tlW Eastern League Qreystock then coming back and smashing Trenton for
a second victory In one evening. In the second contest Manager Dudley used
a number or suosmuies, not Decause ma reguiara were uu in, out Decaus tney
j got such a big lead on Trenton that ha did not consider it worth whllejro use
up their reserve energy.
Vasil Molsldes, Michigan's heavyweight Greek wrestler, wants to t Mike
Dorizas, of Penn. This Spartan clash would bo a big attraction. WIBSt proves
that this la an enlightened country, The fans don't care In what latjguagu ath-
latlcs ore conducted.
Bert Nlehoft la still hitting In world's series form. He didn't get a bingle
off Tincup or Rhoads in Saturday's little fray In St. Pete.
We hate to call a lady names, but Molla BJurdstedt does seem to be ublqult
ous. Wherever one sees a woman's tennis tournament from Boston to San
Francisco, there la Molla also.
And with all of that cash safely stowed away In bank, Jess Wlllard still
calls 'em "nllums."

l
In a meet thnt abounded with spec
tncular features, Ted Meredith still was
able to slilno with morn than his usunt
brilliance In the Mcadowbrook A. C.'s
soventh annual Indoor games at Conven
tion Hall on Saturday night. Ills tnrea
performances, first winning the special
060-yard run In tho new world's record
tlmo of 1 '21 2-6, then running tho final
and winning relay for tho dual rnco with
Cornell, and flnnlly, without removing his
extra jersey, running the last relay In
tho big Intercollegiate relay with Har
vard, Princeton and Cornell, all proved
that lie lias lost nono of his superhuman
speed and vitality. With careful training
and freedom from accidents thcro need
bo no fear nliout tho Quaker captain's
ability to double up onco moro In thn
Intcrcolleglnto quarter and half, as ho did
last year, and win them both.
Next to Meredith's Individual work, the
performanco that meant moit In nn Intcr
colleglnto senBO wai the smnRhlng victory
of Yalo In tho two-mile relay with Cor
nell, Michigan. Malno nnd Pennsylvania.
Tho Clh won that rnco In 7 "ED, which wai
not only a Mlddlo Atlantic record, but this
was ono of tho few occasions that nny
team had been able to averago better
than two mlnutci a man on nn Indoor
track. J. vr Ovorton wni the star of tho
Yalo team, and his Individual tlmo wns
l'E7. What ho could havo dono had he
been pushed ono can only conjecture.
Yale men, though, aro beginning to reallzo
thnt Overton Is better nt tho half or mllo
distances than tho two miles, which he
ran last year. Judged from Saturday
night's performance, tho Yalo tenm should
Just about win tho two-mllo relay nt
Pennsylvania's relay carnival, whllo Over
ton In his present condition should bo n
favorlto for tho mllo In tho Intercollegiate
champlonlshps.
Brewer Stars Again
Broolco Brewer, of tho St. Alban's
School, Washington, D. C, proved that ho
Is no flash In tho pan runner when ho
decisively beat Hon aril Drew, cf Southern
California, and liny Morse, of Brooklyn,
In tho CO yards dash, equating tho present
world's record of G 2-B seconds. Not
much attention was paid to Browcr'B per
formance In the flrst heat when ho beat
Drew becauso It was known that both
would get In tho flnal In tho flnal Brewer
did not get away ns quickly as Drew, but
after the flrst 26 yards he did his best run
ning. Brewer Is said to bo planning to
enter tho University of Pennsylvania this
fall, and If he does tho Quakers will havo
a champion sprinter. Brewer Is built
much on tho samo lines as Arthur Duffcy,
tho former world's chnmplon, but unllko
Duffcy ho Is ns good at tho 220 yards as at
the shorter distance.
The management missed nn opportunity
to stago nnother thriller by pitting Cor
noll and Pennsylvania to run ngnlnst each
other In a special mllo relay beforo tho
big intercollcglato relay, In which Har
vard and Princeton wero entered. It was
conceded In advance thnt Pennsylvania
would beat Cornell, and that Harvard was
tho only team In tho same class with tho
Quakers Both tho Pennsylvania and Cor
nell teams had tho edgo taken off their
speed by their dual race, so that thoy wero
In no condition to glvo Harvard and
Princeton a serious opposition when they
met later In tho evening. Had tho Pennsylvania-Cornell
rnco been omitted, thoro
would havo been a sensational battlo be
tween Harvard and Pennsylvania. A3 It
was, the Crimson almost made a proces
sion of this race.
Record in Relays
Phlladelphlans will naturally bo Inter
ested to know what bearing tho various
relays will have on the meeting between
these various teams in Pennsylvania's
outdoor carnival on April 29. I'ennsy'
vanla and Harvard nro bound to battlu
It out for tho one mllo relay, with tho
likelihood that tho winning team will
lower the present world's record of 3:18,
which tho Quakers mndo Inst year. Tho
Princeton team, second on Saturday j
night, must not no overjooKea. it nas
not had tho Indoor racing cxpcrlenco that
Harvard has, nnd on an outdoor track
will bo an exceedingly dangerous com
petitor. Yale now looks to havo the best two
mile team In the country. Tho teams
that the j:ils beat at this dbtanco last
night were running out of their class,
for most of them were mllers or cross
country men. Three of tho Cornell men,
Wlndnagle, Irish and Potter were mile
and two-mile men, and If they enter tho
relays will probably be strong favorites
for the four-mile event

We doubt this Jackson la a great
natural hitter ono of tho greatest. He
was a bit off last season, but thero will
be found tho samo slumps In tho careers
of all great batsmen, barring Cobb. Wag
ner ono season dropped from .380 to .305
tho next, nnd I.ujolo dropped as low as
.280, only W como back with a rush.
Jackson can hit, nnd while ho fell away
In 1915, tho change that carried him to
Chicago from a. losing club should help
carry him back to within a stride or two
of Cobb, where he belongs.
Some one remarked that Walter John
son had lost a lot. of his speed. "Since
when?" asked ,'unamaker. the Yank
catcher. "In a game at tho Polo Grounds
late last summer, where he was In a hole,
Johnson pitched me four ballsu and I

ST. PHTCIlSBUnO, Fla., Mnrch 13.
After their strenuous work of tho last fow
days and a day of comparative rest Sun
dny, tho rhlllles wero ready this morn
lnu to put In two lone sessions of baso
ball. Moran told his young men today
that he expected overy oho to bo over
their soreness, and that hard work was
tho procram from now until tho beginning
of tho season.
Several of the Phils did a llttlo Sabbath
fishing nnd, strango to say, thoy wero
highly successful In their ro ".-and-roel
workout. Of courso, they didn't catch as
many ns ono might think from tho photo
graphs snapped, as each man Insisted on
being "shot" with tho cntlro catch ex
hibited on his own line.
Chief Bender, Alexnnder nnd several
other Phillies wero escorted by St. Pcto's
ellto to tho golf links, whero thoy put

Bender mado an excellent scoro for tho
36 holes.
Tho big Indoor feature of tho Phils'

In tho least daunted by tho prcsenco of
Mrs. Chalmers, ho related somo blood
curdling ynrns to tho Inhabitants of tho
"Sunshine City" yesterday. Ho told with
over-Increasing enthusiasm how ho ex
pected to meet Johnston or McLoughlln
on the tennis courts, and possibly Travis
on tho golf links. Tho natives fairly
gapped nt tho accomplishments of tho
Gothamlte, who didn't need to provo his
superiority In all branches of sports be

Moran expects to havo a short game
