Menke Xew York, March 16. —The natives are yearning: 1o Jess WHlard with a "mad' on. They've heard so much about what he would do under such circumstances that they have become .Missourians in their attitude. They are hoping that Frank Moran biffs the champion often enough and hard enough on the 25th to cause him to become fearfully vexed. "If Jess Willard ever gets mad"— "You've heard it—and so has every one else. And you've heard it so often (bat you've grown a bit curious, haven't you? It's the alibi offered by Willard's handler* every - time someone accuses the title holder of lack of ag gressiveness. Awesome Picture of Champ We've seen Willard in two of his biggest fights—but never once have we seen him wearing a "mad." He was provoked quite p bit in his bouts with Carl Morris and .Tack Johnson, and given sufficient cause in each for be coming just awfully angry, y'no. But we've never witnessed the spectacle of a mad Willard. Those associated in the management of the champion paint some fearful pictures when they describe what Wil lard would do when aroused. They are pictures that reek with gore: that show many wounded and dying; pic tures that should strike terror into the heart of any man who must face Willard. Willard, when mad, must be a more awe-inspiring sight than a Chinese typhoon; more terrible than a bat talion of Cannibal Island braves on a warpath; more powerful than Goliath of ye olden days, and—oh, well, Jess must be quite a youth when he's mad. Hanger of King Fury However, an infuriated Willard might be easy prey for a ring foe. If his actions were prompted by rage, he would forget ordinary ring caution, his acquired science and everything else but the one thought—to crush his rival.

A maddened tighter leaves j himself open in a dozen ways and passes out golden opportunities to his enemy which, if seized, may win the j battle for the man who keeps his head. | A clever fighter alwa>"s tries to taunt | his opponent into a fit of rage. He realizes that, moved by such a passion, ! the other fellow will forget discretion and ring skill and will rush wildly in jan effort to "kill" him. And that's what the clever man wants. A rushing, maddened fighter has no ! poise, no Judgment, and but little | chance to win. If he lands a wallop, ! he may flatten the clever boy—but i how often have you seen a wildly I swinging fighter shoot home a solid wallop? Mad Ones Swing Wildly The mad batter swings—and the other fellow ducks. The mad one puts everything in that swing—and what happens? If he misses, he's off his balance—and the opportunity for the other fellow presents itself. If Willard, moved by rage, hit. Aloran with a 260-pound punch—and hit him in some vulnerable spot—the fight probably would end right there. But if Willard missed, threw himself out of control, what do you think Moran would be doing? Willard is the slower of the two men. If he started rushing Moran, he would rush himself into a wijided con dition. He probably would charge in with his guard down and his head low —and Mr. Moran has a punch, man; quite a punch. There' danger for Moran, of course, "if Willard ever gets mad." But there's just as much red light for the cham pion. So it would seem that the bet ter plan of the Willard trainers would be to refrain from feeding him raw meat. 'Twould make him savage and dangerous—but it might rob him of the necessary caution. HARD PRACTICE FOR LOCAL TEAM Windup Battle Between Cen tral and Tech Is Tomor row Night's Bill Players of both the Central and | Tech basketball teams are reported to be in fine fettle for their final game to be played on the auditorium floor to-morrow evening. Each team needs 1 a victory to give them further honors. A defeat for Central will throw them ; out of the running for the Central j Penn honors, while a defeat for Tech i will doom them to the cellar position ' for the season. Both teams have been put through strenuous practices during the week in preparation for the contest. The Ma roon players feel that a victory over Central will square matters for their failures in their last ten games. Reserves Will Play | While the first teams are battling I for honors, the Reserves will have a. .struggle all their own. In their first contest the teams had the spectators lon their feet from the first to the I last whistle, and the Tech lads finally | nosed out a 36 to 35 victory. Follow | ing these two games which will be under the auspices of the Central man agement, there will be a special pro l gram of dancing. The probable line up will be: | Central. Tech. Thomas, f.

As soon as the cool breezes were in evidence Connie Mack sent his squad to cover. The Phillies had a short practice, but did not meet with the same temperature at Jacksonville, as was in evidence at Charleston. Fight fans who attended last night's show at the Orpheum theater criti cized the local management for per mitting Charlie Kessler of Philadel phia, and Franklin Baker of Brook lyn, to go into the ring. These fighters were not only unfit for an exhibition but if reports were true should not have been admitted to the theater. The referee stopped the battle in the second round. It was said that Baker injured his hand. The New York State boxing com mission is threatened with a break, because of recent actions of one of its members. At a meeting yesterday Jess Willard was given permission 1o give training exhibitions without charge. Contributions will be received at the gate.
