BEAMS And TALKS Of

All for the Kiddies," Says Cham

Love Cable.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 6.-The future
was bright today for a young mother
| in Los Angeles. whose four healthy
briGht-faced children are also the Chill.
dren of Jess Willard. who won back for
the white race the heavyweight prize
| lighting championship of the world.
My husbands wonderful victory has
just one big meaning to me-" said Mrs
Willard today, land that is our little ones
will have good things we've always
ionsed to give them, and they can be edu-
Gated as we'll as the children of the
wealthiest, and can live in surroundings
that VIII help them grow into strong
and useful men and women"
Mrs. Willard spent a happy, sIeeples,
ana excited night in the little rose-cov-
cred bungalow in Hollywood. a suburb
where she and the children have lived
while Jess was training for the fight with
johnson.
DO you know the first thought that
must have flashed through Jess mind
when he knew he had won the Champion
ship?" she asked. Il do; it was of little
Jess Here she Rugged her son of Is
months.
HES a champion himself right now and
l guess he and big Jess ought to be
proud of each other
Really. it is too early to talk definitely
about our future plans, though Jess made
enough last night to carry us through the
next fifty years. 1 don't know what we
VIII do until ! see Jess. and, of course,
that will be impossible for while.
when l last saw my husband we
planned vaguely what he would do after
he beat Johnson. 1 think I'll take the
family and join him in New York That
Is the theatrical centre and it will be
better for Jess to have his headquarters
there Of course. he intends to make as
much out of the theatrical end as he can.
Then. the children can be educated in
New York and We can all live there
Probably We shall sell our little bunga-
low here. Jess always wanted to make a
nice. quiet home for the children and me.
l think. personally, that there could be
a better place for a home than New
York and maybe after his theatrical
tours We can return to California to /,

Sratulations by her neighbors last night |
and today. But she priced most highly a |
