won't consider an.v thing wind nughi cause him physltal (fioit or incon
venience, even if he could asust the boys who ate fighting "over there"
Willard virtually gave his word to box Jack Denipscj here on .Septem
ber 28 at the Phillies.' ball park The bout was to have been a charity
affair for every one except Wlllatd, who was promised 130,000 tor eighteen
jnlnutes' work. That's pretty big pa more than J1500 a minute but
Jess suddenly changed his mind and said there wasn't enough Interest in
. professional boxing at this time. For that ieason he rejected the offer.
James K Doughertj, one of the most liberal promoters In the United
States, was read to finance the match. He had a secret understanding
with Jack Dempsey and his manage!. Jack Kearns which was that Demp
ley would not actept one cent foi his serviies He was willing to box for
nothing If the money was turned over to a war haiit Dougherty also
stood readj to pay all of the bills, assume all of the ilsk and after the bout
iurn over every dollar to a committee which was composed of Commander
Tayne, U S. N ; Major Garrett V. S. A.. J. VaucIaJn, Judge Johnson, the
JUv, Thomas Ryan and Casper P. Sharplets. Thee men were to have had
entire charge of the money and distribute it as the;, saw in.
rOVGUEl'l tfw not needing financial gain. He eanted to raise
U money for the toldieis and donated Ms lei vices to the eause.

THi: big exhibition golf malcn celled
uled for the Whltemarsh Valley
Country Club for Sunday, September 22,
will be played It was called off a few
days ngo. but since then Mat Marston
and tho Western Oolf Association have
asked the club to hold It In spile of the
gaslesa Sunday. There will be a substi
tution, the sensational slxen-year-old
Bobbv Jones taking the place of Warren
Wood. Jones and Chick livans will play
the best ball of Jerry Travers and
Marston
It will be lenieinbcred that the board
of governors decided last Tuesday night
thnt In all fairness to the players it
would not be advisable to play the
match In spile of the generous action
of the Tiiel Administration In granting
the club the privilege of running auto
mobile busses to and fiom the railroad
station. The whole idea of the exhibition
was to get as large a sum of money as
possible foi the fund for wounded return
ed soldiers. The players were notified of
the club's action and the reasons for the
cancellation.
Marston got 'u touch with Tli'omas
II. TIalton, rhaitman of the green com
mittee, by long-distance wire yesterday,
and he said that the players appreciated
the action of the club, but that the play
ers wanted to play for the fund and
were willing to take chances on the
crowd. A similar tequest was made In
a telegram from the Western Oolr As
sociation, which hr.s piomotcd most of
the big matches for war charities.
So the big match Is on again, and now
that the playeis are willing to come to
Philadelphia and play It Is hoped the
golf lovei.s will be willing to put them
selves to a bit of Inconvenience and go
