WILLARD FAILS
TODRAW CROWD

New York, April 3O-It is not i'm
probable that Jess Willard, the new
heavyweight champion. will be seen in
action al one OF the New York clubs
before next fall His engagements in
New York were not crowned with the
success that his manager and admirers
had expected them to be. Instead OF
running several weeks with houses sold
out at kited prices at Hammerstein's,
as Jack Johnson did, he played 10 little
more than a normal crowd and the
first weeks performance ended his
work there. Notwithstanding the man
ager OF the theater had an option on
his services another week.
Thomas n Carol, manager Of the
Hotel Hermitage, where Willard
stopped. and a friend Of the champion,
was OutspOken in his criticism OF tie
Willard management he declared that
Willard had been taken over the roofs
Into the theater and been forbidden to
mix at clubs and hotels as other cham
pions-
IF they had let Jess go ahead in
his automobile TO the stage door, as
Jack johnson did, and congregated
such a crowd that the reserves would
have been called out, like the police
were forced TO do when Johnson had a
run at the same theater, then you
would have seen a -ush 10 see him in
side" said Carroll
Willard has started on the western
theatrical tour, but unless the western
sporting public displays greater desire
to pay TO see the champion, the tour
may be abandoned. and then he viii be
at liberty TO return to New York,
where he can pick up some easy money.
as several late white hopes are anxious
to box with him.

GENERAL F. F. MILES.

After battling with death for ten
days or more, and making repeated
rallies when the end seemed only a
question of hours, General Frederick

unconscious for several days, and HE

tanned him was practically exhausted.
General Myles had been i'll for
some time. but it was only fortnight
ago, that his govt developed serious
complications. The doctors held out
small hope for his recovery from the
first. but the rallies he sustained
caused them to believe his robust con
stitution might ultimately Offset the
attack of the disease.
The final tnrn for the worse came
several days ago, and the general was
unconscious most of the time. The
end which came Thursday evening
was not unexpected, and The devoted
relatives who had so long watched BIZ
General Myles' bedside were prepared
for the shock.
General My1es is survived by a
