knocked him out in three rounds.
They put Jess up against AL
Mandino, Joe Cavanaugh, Bill
Shiler, Frank Lynn and Mike
Comiskey before the year was
ended. The first three each took
1t on the chin and collapsed in
short order. The second two
stayed the ten rounds but were
licked.
Jess, however. didn't get much
for any of these fights and things
didn't look well for the Willard
family. He was even pinched for
vagrancy, SO deplete were his
finances.
To make matters worse the
authorities got after him for
participating in several secret
battles and he was arrested
charged with prize fighting. He
was placed under 500 bonds.
Jess jumped the bond and decid-
ed that Oklahoma was no healthy
place for him, nohow. He beat
hal 70 dozen constables and Okla
homa City detectives to the bor-
der and never stopped until he
reached st. Louis.
Jess hasn't been back yet. but

When the word came over the

in Oklahoma went wild about II.
By cable somebody in authority
offered Jess the job of state cattle
inspector; others asked him to
referee an auto race-and all the

At that. the big fellow wanted
to toss his theatrical contracts at
nearly $1,000 an appearance and
hit out for Oklahoma to show the
home boys what he had made of
himself. He probably thought
more of the adultation he would
receive than the enormous money
he could command as vaude-
vile attraction. But wiser hands
restrained him.
Back in 1911 when Jess was
disqualified after fouling his OPP

not give up the fight game. : To
