heavyweight championship, and ho believed in preparedness. When tho
Dempsey specter loomed up In tho offlng tho champion put in a few extra
licks and was pretty confident of hlsabillty to stand the grind before sign
lng tho papers for that U00.000. Jess expects to beat Jack tho Giant Killer.
I visited Willard In his home In Chicago a jear ago and spent an
afternoon with him. Ho was thinking seriously of donating his services to
tho Red Cross at that tlmo and almost signed to box Fulton for nothing.
Jess was In good shape then, and I was surprised to find him in that c6n
dltlon until he invited mo to go up to the third Hour of his homo und look
over some interesting things ho had there.
It was a largo room and contained every plcco of modern gymnasium
apparatus. Pulley weights, dumbbells, wrestling mats, a rowing machino
and horizontal bars wero there, and in ono corner was a punching bag
platform.
niO loxlng gloics tccrc hanging on the tcalls and they shoiced
slx7n o rough usage. Jess said he worked a couple of sparring
partners for a short time about three days a week.

t w-Ant to do Is to keen in fairly good
for me to fight it won't be torture to go through the training period.
"The fate of Jim -Jeffries was a lesson to me. I will never forget the
storici I read of how hard ho worked for the Johnson battlo and what a
pathetic sight he was when he .tried to fight tho big black. Tho papers
f1 i-ald that Jeff was only a shell, with everything burned out on tho inside.
' Ho had been taking it easy for such a long tlmo that it was Impossible for
him to tako off weight and retain his strength. That oxperlenco never
will happen to mo. Ulght now I am ready to nght in two momns, ana
when I enter the ring I shall bo nt. Make no mistake about that. No
ono ever will catch me out of condition."
That was a year ago, when l'ulton was busy claiming the champlon
'sfilp and telling tho world ho was peeved because Big Jess Ignored him.
Had it been at any other tlmo tho public would have forced "Willard to
dispose of Fredward, but tho big war then was too serious to devote much
f'ltlme. to a mere boxing match. But tho champion had looked forward to
a case like this and was ready to knock Fulton's block off which he surely
would havo done.

WILLARD admits he cares little for the boxing game, but has
no objection to the money he receives for Ms services. He is
not taking a chance In boxing Dempsev for ttOOfiOO. There arc
plenty of guys icho tcould fight both of them for one-half that sum.
1 Present Champion a Shrewd Business Man
t TESS Is tho most expensive champion wo ever have had. Moreover, he
has made more money than any man In the boxing game. Since win-
,ntng the championship from, Johnson on April 6, 1915 almost four years
ago he has made close to $100,000 and fought but onco. He posed for
advertisements at so much per pose, boosted soft drinks and tonics at so
i Jnruch per boost, appeared as a star
' "much per appearance and allowed
f tuircrcnt Danus mrouguoui me country.
lie Is a shrewd business man and a good showman, and when he
. ,,ilvorced himself from the firm of Curley & Jones, purchased the Wild
,.West show and traveled around as tho owner, Jess made money on the
' .proposition and even collected a profit when the outfit was In winter
quarters in Jacksonville. He had soreral hundred horses who were eating
,, their heads off when It was decided to build an army camp outside of the
t 'town. Jess rented his show steeds to the government and made moro
'- itwn they were worth.
-' f In the ring he has the same salesmanship ability. He boxed only once

In Cage Circuit, Passing
Star Hancock Player First
to Register 100 Points,
. Topping Field With 103
JACK L4WRENCE GAINS
JIMMY BROWX, of the SL Columba
team, has been supplanted ns tho
leading scorer of the American Bask'fct
ball League by "Liz" Towcll, the star
forward of Hancock. Tho latter "Is the
first player to register 100 points.
Powell hRS dropped In forty two
pointers from the field and his work
has been of a consistent nature. He has
played his poorest against the weaker
yiiba, but, stacked up against Mldalo
and St. Columba ho showed his class.
- Powell fs ono of tho most peculiar men
In the game In that he rarely makes
easy shots.
Jack Lawrence, of the Saints, Is tho
ono pla) er who has made the best gain
o the week, lie Is now No. 8 on tho
list, anil. Judging by the way ho Is
scoring, It will not be long beforo ho Is
among tho first three or four. Lawrence
li tho beat scoring center, although Hag
gerty Is a superior Jumper.
Mocky Uunnln, tho former Southern
High star, continues to drop them In
with regularity from the 15-foot mark.
Trom this source ha has compiled 4!)
of his 83 points. It is his ability to
1 make good on tho free tosses that glcs
1 him such a high rating.
Hancock still monopolizes tho team
scoring necords. The conquerors of Mid
a!e lead In tho field goals, assists, total
points and havo had less points regis
tered against them any any other team.
