his form was the best seen in a long
time. Disney knew that he had come
hack, having failed to qualify in two
previous shoots. He challenged every
body. Xone accepted, or are likely to

PHYSICAL GUTS
MEET NEXT MONDAY
Willard Has Advantage Over
Johnson in Height and Weight;
Lacks Ring Experience
By .Issociatcil Press
Xew York, .March 29. —The history
of the prize ring offers 110 parallel of
the battle for the world's heavyweight
championship in which Jack Johnson
and Jess Willard will engage next
Monday at Havana, Cuba. Big men
liave fought for their premier title of
Hstiana since the_*rarlv days of the
eighteenth century Tout never through
the long list of champions from James
Figg to Jim Jeffries have two lighters
of the physical proportions of Willard
and Johnson crossed arms in the
roped arena.
Of the champions of modern times
Corbett, Jeffries and Johnson all
passed the six-foot mark, while Sulli
van, Sharkey and Fitzsimmons were
from one to three inches below this
height. When the negro titleholder
find his challenger stop into the ring,
Willard will tower six feet six inches
in the air, while Johnson will stand
five and a half inches below him. In
weight these fighters are also far
above the ring average of the heavy
weight class. Willard will weigh close
to 23."> pounds, which will give him
an advantage of about twenty pounds
over Johnson in the clinching and
tussling which will doubtless play an
important part in the battle.
Willard Is a Samson
Compared with those p;ist heavy
weight gladiators Willard appears lis
a Samson. Even when ranged along
side of Johnson' the Kansas cowboy
overshadows the negro titleholder in
almost every point of physical meas
urements. In addition he outweighs
Johnson by twenty pounds. His reach
ol' 83'™ inches against the negro's 7H
inches will also prove of exceptional
value if properly used.
To offset these physical assets John
son has the benefit, of ring wisdom
and craft cultivated during his long
career as championship contender and
holder. Just as Willard surpasses
Johnson in every point of physical
make-up the Galveston pugilist t\-
cels the Kansas boxer in ail depart
ments of the sciuncc of giving and
evading glove punishment.

Kinally the Imp director took his
troubles to President Daemmie. He
suggested a few titles for the play, but

"The Photoplay Without a Name" was
exhibited and suggestions for a title
were invited from all present. A dozen
or so were offered, but none of them
hit the mark.
Finally, In desperation, Mr. Daemmle
said:
"I'll give SSO to any one who will
suggest a title for this film."
There are no strings attached to Mr.
I-aemmle's olter. Each answer should
be accompanied by a fifty-word expla
nation outlining why the title is
chosen.

MISTKR SQUKEGEK
Mr. Squeegee, the quaint figure used [
in Diamond Tire advertising this year, ;
has in addition to attracting wide-j
spread attention, aroused the curiosity |
of many people. The Diamond Tire
Company has during the past l'ew i
months been receiving letters from in-j
formation-seekers, who desire to learn I
more about Sir. Squeegee—or "Mister"!
i Squeegee, as he signs himself —than is I
revealed in the advertising.
Some of these letters are amusing. |
One. for Instance, from a lady who|
lives in Oklahoma indicates that Dia-!
mond advertising Is interesting not |
only to men who buy tires, 'but to wo
men, as well.
"1 wish," the Oklahoma lady writes, j
"you would tell nie'something about I
Mister Squeegee. Is he is a real per-'
son'.' I used to know a man in West
Virginia who looked just like Mister
Squeegee, and he was a person who
was always saying such wise things,
too. His name was lligsbee. and I
I thought he might be writing for you
under a nom de plume.
"We always look for the wise saying
of Mister Squeegee at the top of the
advertising, although we do not own |
an automobile and have no special rea
son to be interested in tires—yet. But
I hope we shall he able to have one
some day, and I am sure that when we
do we will want Diamond Tires on it,
ion Mister Squeegee's account, if for no
;other reason. But 1 think you will be
glad to hear that some friends of ours
who have a car use Diamond Squeegee
Tires on it and wouldn't think of put-i
ting on any other kind, because they
say the Diamonds last so long and are
so good in every way.
"If Mr. Squeegee is the Mr. lligsbee;

little girl when we moved away, and
I have often wondered what ever he- I
