NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD JESS WILLARD ENJOYS HAPPY DAY BY THE SEA Great Demouetrstion Oiwta New World's Champion at Atlantic City —Gives Mo Performance on Sun day—Ton Jonas Give* Talk Atlantic City, April 13.—Jess Wil lard. the new world's heavyweight champion, the great cowboy from Kansas, was the central figure at the resort yesterday. Thousands of visit ors, with the united resident popula tion, paid him homage, dodging his ev ery footstep to shake his hand, pat him on the back, offer their comment and generally make things miserable for th«> bashful tighter. Never before has the seashore experienced a like demonstra tion, although two years ago it enter tained Presidents, Taft Roosevelt and Wilson. Willard was slated to make two ap -1 pearanees with exhibitions at one of the local playhouses. The reform fac tion, however, robbed thousands of his [ admirers of the pleasure of witnessing I him in action by acquainting the police that such a performance would be un lawful under the resurrected old Blue Law* and that it was their duty to stop the bout. The crowds, in consequence, had to be satisfied with a view of his physique and a 10-niinute talk by Tom Jones on .••How It Was Done." The popular ' champion greeted the orowd with a I rather ungraceful bow. and was about to retire, when the yells forced him to ' make acknowledgments to the recep tion. Cries for a speech were an swered with. "If 1 were a speech maker 1 wouldn't be lighting." Willard was swayed into holding a public reception bv the tremendous , ovation. Hundreds marched down tho aisle to "look him over." Jones pro hibited handshaking, but still there were those who would not be denied, and virtually tore the .-hampion's : vlasped hands apart. Children were given special privi leges by Willard. the iudignities of the little folk in their eager curiosity be ing taken with laughter. This made Willard even more popular, and evi denced the side which tends to make ' him even further lionised. The worn 'en persisted iu shaking hands, too. which further embarrassed the Kansas , iiowbov. Willard plainly showed real. | unadulterated agony in its progress. He was heard to say on finally evading his visitors. "Never again. Tom. " Willard spoke of the much anticipated ; run with his fanjilv ir. Los Angeles. He is homesick '' for the kiddies and his best girl." He expects to get in I.os Angeles by July, and will appear . at the Panama Exposition, iu .San ' Francisco, late in the summer. Jones will then follow with a trip to Kngland. and likewise expects to tour the world. Willard yesterday showed plain re , ".ief in finally singling out a friend ( • • from hi? home town'' in Henry A. Martens, who was one of the cowboy s | pals in Oklahoma City. They talked fully three-quarters of sn hour in ex changing felicitations and talking of ' old times. _ i Tom Jones answere i a broadside of, questions as to wheu his protege wouid Main appeaf in the rins with: " W il- . " lar 1 wi'l meet any white man in six weeks or six vears. if the money is there. He is" only jetting what is ' coming to him now and certainly would be foolish to tight for >20.000 next Labor Day. when it takes six months to train and he has made $5,000 in the last three davs. Now do you see the logic!'' Willard and Jones left at 9 j o'clock last night for New York.
