''Beck's" Amen Corner
BY ~BECK~

JESS WILLARD is now the heavy
weight champion Of the world.
That old false alarm term "white
hope" is a thing Of the past for the
championship again rests with the
white race. While Willard deserves
every credit for his gameness, his
ability to assimilate punishment and
still retain the power to land the
finishing punch, it is only fair to
state that it was Old Father Time
who was the real victor in the case
Of johnson. Youth must be served.
IS
WILLARD stood up like a veteran
" under terrific punishment in
the early rounds Of the fight.
questioned the honesty of the bout
last week but the reports of the
battle all appear to show that it was
won and lost on its merits. John
son tried his hardest for a victory in
the first 20 rounds. He couldn't stop
the rugged cowboy and then youth
began to have its turn. Big Jess
earned his victory, and every one in
FL Paso and district will wish him
the best of luck IN holding the
honors.
PIG JESS is a cleancut, honest
chap. He is modest and likeable
and has hundreds Of friends in FL
Paso. He viii do well, however, if
he continues a course Of instruction
IN ring work under good teachers.
Jess IS far from being a finished
product and if he is to defend his
new honoTs from such men as Jim
Cofey, Al Reich, Carl Morris and
others Of like caHber, he will have
to keep on as a pupil of some good
instructor. However, with Jack
Curley and Tom Jones as his man
ayers, it IS pretty much of a cinch
that Jess viii not be called upon to
risk his title for a long, long time.
Personally, I believe that big Jess
would willingly 60 into the ring to-
morrow against any one Of the men
named but am Just as sure that
Curley, Jones, ct al, viii not stand
for any such matches until the
cream has been SKINNED from the
