WINNINft: TD-m u;Am'n, Fear Wlllard -Pitts Willard Is Spaniard? Say His Name Is Villar Jess Wlllard, Heavyweight cham pion, is n Spnniard nnd hU real name is Jose Villar, according to tho ZIr Zap, n weekly magazine published in Santiago, Cuba. Tho Zig Zag says: "The Spanish and Cuban dailies biing n sensational piece of news to the Latin boxing enthusiasts. According to the dailies referred to, Jess Willard, the champion boxer of the world, is a Spnniard, and his true name i3 Joso Villar. Tho Villar family came originally from Taffalla, in Navara, Spain. From data col lected in this city nnd Judging from photographs of tho champion that have been published thero should remain no doubt of the au thenticity of the news. This statement means a revindication of the Latin race ns sportsmen and rovives tho disputed question of tho prowess of tho Anglo-Saxon." closely watched Moran during tho work out Uoth wero Impressed and confessed It "You nro In wonderful condition," said Corliett "You nro In better ehapo than Wlllard and wilt glvo him n good battlo. You will hurt tho big boy If you over land that right" Surprise for Willard McCoy was Just as enthusiastic "I ad mit Hint you havo surprised mo," ho said. "You nro ready to enter tho ring nt this mtnuto and I know that Jess Wlllard will got tho surprise of his llfo. You havo n vicious right punch and I don't think tho champion will like It If It lands." Moran Is ready for tho fray. Ho fin ished his strenuous training yesterday and from now on ho will tnko only light work-outs. Today ho will punch the bag, skip tho ropo and do somo shadow box ing, nnd perhaps ho will box ono round with Frank Kendall, tho tallest of his sparring partners. Mornn's chief work now Is to keep from going stale. In his work-out yesterday Frank ex posed his lino of attack to be used on Willard. Ho took on Hill McKlnnon, Hart ley Madden and Frank Kendall In turn, and spent most of his tlmo raining blows to their bodies. Occasionally ho would whip his right to tho Jaw, but this blow was very rare. Ho will depend on body punches to win from tho champion. It has been said that Moran'.s left hand Is virtually useless. This Is not no. Ho lias a good left hook, and when It lands somebody drops to tho lloor. Whllo lm wns boxing Kendall yesterday, ho landed n loft hook to tho Jaw, and tho big spar ring partnor flew across the room, land ing In Kid McCoy's lap. Ho needed tho Kid's nsslstnnco to nrlso to his feet. Onco In a whllp Moran would stick out this loft nrm llko n weather vnno to hold his opponent off, but each tlmo ho did this, his right arm would shoot out, and the poor sparring partner was ready to quit. Ancient Training Quarters Dal. Hawkins' roadhouse Is a training camp of tho olden days, according to Jack MoAullffo and other old-timers. It Is llttlo moro than a shed, one story high nnd fitted up for boxing only. Thero Is a. ring In ono corner of tho room, but this Is not used. Thero nro too many spec tators present, nnd nil of tho training Is done In tho mlddlo of tho floor, while tho audience, seated on campstools nnd stand ing up, forms tho frame for the picture. It was cold very cold In the gymnas ium when Mornn appeared. Ills spindle legs wero bare, but ho wore a heavy woolen undershirt while he punched tho bag. Ho took this oft after about flvo min utes of work and his clear skin fairly glowed with a healthy pink color ns his training progressed. At tho end Frank was not even breathing hard and ran to hl3 dressing room like a schoolboy ut recess. Moran Is In perfect physical condition for the big battle. It requires but ono look to seo that. Ho alw has confldenco In hlmseir, and this, too, Is apparent. He Is fast on his feet, c.in punch hard with either hand and goes at his work with n determination to get everything pos. slblo out of It. Will ho win the big fight next Saturday? Moran says he will. Perhaps Frank Is right. Deyo Barred From Amateurs NIW YOttK. Mnrrli i3. William ' Dejo. otherwlso "lllir mil," Princeton's otar pltehor, him been banished from nmiteur ranks tiy licun McClenahan.

TILDEN, 2D THERE seems to bo no end to tho pos sibilities of development among the schools of tho city as regards tennis this season. Tho wholo school system Is co operating to bring about real progress from our Junior development plan. Tho latest school to benefit by the op portunity of getting excellent coaching is West Thlladelphla High School. This In stitution was fortunate enough to get Paul W. Gibbons, president of tho Philadelphia and District Lawn Tennis Association, as coach. Gibbons most generously offered his services, which naturally met with tho greatest approval at tho school, and onco a week he meets tho aspiring candi dates for this year's team, Instructing them In tho rudiments and elements of tho game. Last Monday thero was a turnout of 50 boys to hear Qlbbons, which shows tho enthusiasm which Is aroused by tho gamo and tho man who Is coaching the school, Gibbons, nt times, takes othor men out with him to talk with the hoys. Next week Pdrcy Osborne, of Cynwyd Club, one of the best tennis players In tho city, will address them. West Philadelphia High Is arranging to put up a volley board In tho gymna sium If thb Is done It will glvo tho school tho samo progressive policy now used at Frankford High nnd Germantown Academy, whero Indoor practlco Is held regularly overy week. "What Inference can bo drawn from these signs of Interest In tho schools? First. That tennis Is becoming the Im portant sport that It should bo In school llfo. Second. That tho co-operation of the schools with Dr, 13. D. Dewhurst, Gibbons and TJldcn In tholr plan to develop the juniors assures tho success nf tho plan so far as getting a lino on tho available material goes. Results, after that, de pend largely on tho Individual boy. Third. The generosity of such busy men aB Gibbons, Osborno and others In giving their tlmo Is meeting n most grati fying response In tho great interest aroused among tha boys and the large turnouts for tennis at all tho schools this year. It Is estimated that In all the schools whero any of tho men Interested In this plan havo taken hold, the num ber of candidates this year la twice as many as ever before. Gibbons Is going to speak at Frankford High on Wednesday of next week. It Is this co-operation between tho men who are coaching rival bchools vhlch will help spread Interest In tho game. Good sportsmanship and good feeling with good natured rivalry will ralso Interest. Self. Ish desire to win, no matter at what detri ment to tho game, will never get either you or the game anything. Let all tho schools join, not only In pulling together for progress In league matters, but In mutually trying to meet the needs of the other schools In post poned matches, chnngu of grounds and other little technicalities over which many disputes between schools arise, AcJrlSi x--2!7 iSSi "" R'cctrd refuses fa, I f3H JSflS5S. s i-ii, Wsm tickets to byeechinp ffiWi 3 Bk Mr. Uiilllr4.Tlilctf fclfS 0- J-afc a brisk wftlk (n 0MlW' M?

DOPE TO DEFEAT WILLARD Champion Has Much Advantage Apparently, but Stranger Things Have Happened Rice Gives Some Good Pointers on Big Battle By GRANTLAND RICE AS TIII3 momentous hour approaches A wherein Frank Moran la to hurl his wares at tho chin nnd body of Jess Wll lard, and vlco versa. It Is hardt to figure, via tho dopo, whero Pittsburgh Frank has anything but tho frailest sort ot an out sldo chanco to finish first. You can figure up and down, back and forth, going nnd coming, hither and thither, nnd all tho other ways thero arc, without discovering a Moran probability In tho way of victory. He Jias a chance, of course, but tho shot looks longer day by day ns the dopo unravels. Moran certainly equals Wlllard In cour age and Intelligence No ono can tnko this way from him. Tho blond battler Is not only game, but he can use his head as well as his fists. But, for that matter, Wlllard has also proved his gameness; and tho Knnsan is no boob. So Moran picks up only a small advan tage hero to put against WIIlard'3 great margin In nil physical ways. When you aro going against an oppo nent who is bigger than you are, stronger than you arc, and heavier than you are, faster than you are and they don't let you wear a gun tho finish Is fairly obvious. Psychology and Such If "Wlllard Is leading so far in all physi cal ways, what of tho psychology of this contest? Hero again tho Kansan has the advan tage. Moran loves to fight nnd Wlllard doesn't. That should Indicate something In favor of Moran. Dut whero Moran has been working nt top speed to get in best possible condition. Wlllard has been work ing along easily, although always toward a definlto goal. And where Moran has tossed his entire soul Into this meeting Willard has treated tho entlro affair without any great seri ousness. For Moran this fight has meant n chanco to be heavyweight champion to gather In a good half million by a vic tory. For Wlllard tho same contest has ap parently meant nothing but a 10-round boxing match, over which an Inordinate and foolish fuss has been raised. Briefly, Saturday night's affair lias been of vastly moro Importanco to Moran than It has been to Wlllard, to Judge their feel ings In tho matter. Hero Is still another matter In Wlllard'a far: Moran has been ready to fight HAVE YOU TRIED A ICIGAR "EXCEEDII "EXCEEDINGLY BETTER" llenry'n Cigar ( o.. I'lillmleliihla National A. C. National A.

WHInrd, meanwhile, has been coming along at a slower clip, hut ut a pneo which will le.ivo him fit and ready at the appointed hour. Thero Is a chanco that Moran may go i,t:ile. Thero Is no chanco that Wlllard will. Tho only thing that we can seo against Wlllard Is that entirely too many things seem to bo In his favor. When a summer sky gets too blue you can look for an early storm When a thing looks to bo too much of a cinch you can bo on tho lookout for a painful upset Tho things that can't possibly happen aro tho ones that generally do No ono can say Just how overconfident Wlllard wjll bo that night But If It looks ns easy as he says It looks and one of those right-hand explosions from Moran lands on a vulni'inblo spot the champion will bo In n very bad way. psjchologlcally as well as physically There Is nothing so disconcerting as the sudden nnd annoying knowledge that you havo J. II. Tartar on your hands whero you thought you had Henry W. Cinch. It Is hard to find a chanco for Moran to win even nn outsldo chance. Kvery odd Is against him If he had a margin In skill to offset Wlllard'a bulk or an edge In speed to offset Wlllard'a strength: If ho had an ndvattage any ono definite way, a far better case could bo mado out in his favor.
