NAN FRANCISCO, March 10
1t must be that Manager
Tom Jones Of the AID VOL
CAST camp has heard of Jack Cur
ley's scheme for corralling all the
champions Of the different classes
and forming a pugiistic wild west
show.
Not content with having to keep
Wildcat Wolgast in subsection
and Ad. they say, Is harder to ham
die at times than a bucking bron-
cho or a cavorting cayuse-Jones
is reaching out in all directions for
top-notch talent.
He has placed his hand on Jack
Lester of Gle Elum. a Tommy
Burns castoff. and Willie Hoppe, Of
san Francisco. He has secured
options on big Jim Jeffries and Bob
McAlister, the Olympic Club ex-
amateur, and the roundup has
barely begun.
He plans to have an aggregation
of world beaters Of assorted sizes
and by the time he fills in all the
gaps between Ad Wolgast and JEFF
fries his string will be as long as a
suffragette parade.
Jones Discards His Toupee.
Jones has become a notably Sc
rious man Of affairs He has dis
carded that flippant toupee he
sported a couple Of years ago and
when he removes his hat in your
presence he is naked from the rims
of his ears upward As he sat in
the writer's den the other night
prattling Of the possibilities Of the
future in the managerial line the
electric lights produced strange st.
Elmo effects on the apex Of Toms
polished dome But he didn't mind.
He was too full OF his subject.
The point Jones is most buzzed
about at present is his recent an
nouncement that he is to pilot old
Jeffries On "A second tour of the
championship belt.
Here's the thing i'm a nutshell"
said Jones. The suggestion came
from Jeffries himself He has new
er quit brooding over what hap
pened at Reno, and he still har-
bors the suspicion that he was
drugged by somebody He went on
the waterwagon several weeks ago
and stands TO lose heavily in wag-
ers if he tastes booze inside of a
year He has been training on the
quiet and he is full Of the notion
that the present day heavyweights
are lot of no-goods. He told me
in the presence of his brother Jack
that he believed ne could lick the
best man in sight al present and
that he had a good mind to hop
back into the game ! said TO him.
Why don't you do it them and
Jack Clipped in with the remark
that his big brother was foolish
not TO take another whack at fight
