NEW YORK, December 19.-What

Willard has the best chance against
Johnson of any man alive inasmuch as
he is the only big man who fights with
the same method the wonderful black
man uses. Johnson never has met a
man who can hit like Willard. Jess can
hit like a triphamrner when he is prod

that fight is on.
Perhaps the biggest surprise Jess ever

The general adoption of the 5ll-inch

seems to be certainty. The majority Of
cubs have been using them for some
time with great success. and there ap-
pears to be no doubt that better scores

Inch ones. The only drawback to the
Of the larger ball is the fact that a
man with small hand finds it diff
cult to control, especially after having
number of years. AS soon as all the
players get used to the bigger bullet"
though. it may be expected that consist
emily larger scores will be made. In
fact, 1t appears that big games and sets
are much more numerous now than in
years gone by There is seldom night

more. sets of more than $50 are not rolled
by individuals. and big team games are
the general occurrence rather than in

less things go wrong in the future. it is
likely that the end of the year will find
bowlers with higher averages and teams
with better marks than have ever been
registered here before. And it will be
due to nothing other than the use of a
larger bali.

GREAT MARKET FOR HORSES.
European War II Causing Millions

NEW YORK. December 19.-Has any
one tried to figure up the amount Of
money the present war is costing the
belligerents for horses alone? It would
be an impossible task at this writing,
but some day it probably will be known
when the returns are ali in from the
warning factions.
Figuring that the combintd armies
have about 5000, 900 men in the field or
ready to go to the front, it is certain
that from 25 to 80 per cent of them are
mounted. which means that about three
million horses are utilized. These figures
are given TO indicate the extensiveness
OF the horse market of the world.
