Willard Eager to Box
For Heavyweight Title
By w. w. NAUGHTON.

GAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April IL
Jess Willard. the Kansas cow
boy. who is ambitious to box for
the heavyweight championship and
who, In support of his right TO enter
tain such an ambition, points to the
fact that he once defeated Luther Nc
Carly, the present titleholder. is In
San Francisco. Willard, who Is on his
first visit. is being chaperoned by
Tom Jones OF the Ad Wolgast camp.
and II is quite likely that Jones will
assume the management OF the big
man from Kansas.
Willard Is the tallest heavyweight
in captivity. He tapes six feet six
inches and weighs o35 pounds. He has
hands in keeping with his bulk and
stature. but he lacks the fierceness
OF expression that is generally asso-
ciated with the men OF the ring.
Willard has not come here on any
special mission. He became restless
because matches were few in the east
and ne meandercd west with Micaw-
ber-like hopefulness. ready for any
thing that turned up.
He says that while he has not
parted with his former mnnger,
Charlie Cutler OF Chicago. It Is more
than probable that there will be
separation.

friends. but old cronies," said VIII

SEWER NEARLY COMPLETED

Splendid progress has been made o~
the Fifteenth sewer by J. 5. Schwartz

during the last few weeks and II Is
probable that the work will be COM
pieted in the course OF another ten
days or 50. The main sewer Is finish
ed as far as the Hydraulic ditch and
only n short distance remains to be
done to reach the site OF the Odd Feb
lows home. its northern terminus. The
ditching machine. which has enabled
the contractor to carry on the work so
rapidly. is now engaged in trenching
in the alleys that are to have sewer
connections. The cost Of the FIJI

ably less than the FIRST estimates OF the
