JESS WILLARD SHOULD BE
CHAMPION FOR LONG TIME

Jess Willard will be heavyweight
champion of the world for a longer
period than any man who ever held
the title, is the opinion of the men
who know Willard best.
Just now there is not fighter on
the pugilistic horizon who looks able
to beat willard, with the exception of
Sam Langford, and "Thammy" won't
get q chance at the title because Jess
has decided that one battle with a
dark gent is quite enough. .....
Ever since Willard pushed his right
hand against Johnson's face in the
26th round of the Havana affair the
big Kansan has been bombarded with
defis. But he won't accept any of
them. 1t Is unlikely that Willard will
do any battling for another year or
So What's the use? He can make
more money by training for stage
chores and there's no chance of his
losing his heavyweight title on the
stage.
Looking over the list of white hopes
who think they have a chance to beat
willard, one Immediately eliminates
dti uub thICC. OhO vi tuOoC 10 uuhoOdt
Smith, who won a 20-round decision
from Willard on the coast some time
ago. That's when Willard was in the
raw state and the sGooner" had been
developed into perfection. Smith
wouldn't. have much of a chance
against willard now because the viii.
lard of Is months ago is a far diff.
ferent willard than the present one.
The next gent that might be consid-
cred is Jim Coffey. an Irish party, who
has q terrific punch, wonderful endur-
ance, gameness far beyond the aver
age and little or no boxing skill. Cof-
fey is a slugger-not a boxer
Coffey might have a chance with
Willard Ii he were better boxer than
Willard, but he isn't. Therefore, Viii.
lard would have the advantage in ev-
cry department of pugilism over COT
fey, which would leave Coffey only the
faint hope OF sneaking over a sleep
producing punch while Willard was
looking out the Window .=
And now We come to No. 3-Carl
Morris. This Norris fellow is regard
ed as the original white hope. He
was one of the first to get into har,
ness after the Reno affair for the
purpose of beating Jack Johnson.
Morris lacks only an inch or so of
being as tall as willard. He is almost
as powerful. He can stand more pun.

TENER RULES ON r..
STOPPING GAMES
TO CATCH TRAINS
IBy Latest MALL

NEW YORK, N. "A check on
the calling of games to. allow teams
to catch trains earlier than necessary
to get them 10 their next scheduled
stop one hour before game time has
been put into effect by the National
League. 1t is also ruled that games
may not be started earlier than the
made In statement by Secretary
usual hour. The announcement was
]. A. Heydler, which said:
Hereafter no club in the Nationkl
League will be permitted to begin a
championship game prior to the usual
starting hour or to discontinue to play
before game is finished in order that
the participating clubs may catch
early trains. The last train as stat
ed in the leagues laws will be con-
strued to mean the last train sched.
uled to reach the next city at least one
hour prior to the customary time of

The above ruling was made and an
nounced by President j. K, Tener Of

very disheartening support in the
pinches and deserves credit for the
plucky fight he put up throughout the
game. ... F..
O'Neal had the troopers fooled with
his slow ball for six innings, but IN
the seventh the latter fell upon his
delivery and drove him from the box
before anyone was out Fagin reliev-
ed O'Neal, and after he settled down
the cavalry rally was stopped. In the
last two innings this pitcher retire
/ the NJ Troop team one, two. three.
Fagin was also in form with the stick
slamming out two-bagger and three
singles out of four times at bat.
1t is looking more every day as
though the two 18th Infantry teams
we're going to complete their sche-
dulles without defeat. The only
chance that one Of these teams will
be stopped lies in Battery and the
1st Infantry companies. But thus far
there has been no performance by
any of those teams to encourage them
in expecting victory over the 25th

VIM. Eklund Sets
A New Record By
Taking 3 Titles

This is William Eklunds big year
in tennis. The Eva player now holds
all three Hawaiian championships of
the courts, singles, doubles and mixed
doubles.
Eklund annexed the third and last
title possible last Tuesday afternoon.
when. with Miss Alice Hopper as q
partner, he defeated A. L. Castle and
Miss Pauline Schaeffer in the finals
OF the mixed doubles championship
tournament, 6-3, 60.
The match, which was played on
the Moana hotel courts, was much
closer than the score indicates, and
many of the games were long-drawn-
cut deuce affairs. Eklund is the first
player in the history of Hawaiian
championship tennis to hold all three
titles in one season.

And his punches have. terrible power
when they hit But that let's out Nor
ris. He isn't any judge of distance.
He is as clumsy as they make them,
he knows nothing about the science of
the ring game and seems to be hope
less proposition as a pupil. These
three men are the best in the game
and not one seems good enough to
have a real chance against willard.
The new champ is only 81. He hasn't
quite reached his prime. At 80 he
will start to slip back, but he can do
quite a bit of slipping before he slips
to the point where any of the present
day fighters would have real chance
against him. In the future a giant
may arise who may be able to take
Wizards measure-but that seems to
be in the somewhat distant future.

will open its 1915 season next Sunday
morning at $3.50. when the Japanese
Athletic Club and Pawaa will line Up
at Athletic park According 10 the

This year the Juniors have Gu, their
league down to three clubs. The Asa
hi Juniors and the Portuguese have
dropped out, and the PawaaS. Japan.
csc and Chinese Athletic Union are
left to fight II out for the flag. This
makes a nice, compact race, and
brings the schedule down to one game
a week, instead Of the old-time double
header.
The Japanese this year should give
q good account of themselves, as they
have been strengthened by the add
ton OF several players from the de-
funct Asahis. The tear, has been re.
organized under the management OF
8. Sawai, who is connected with +. o..
Hall & Son. ."...
The Pawaas have practically the
same team that won the Dennant last
season, with a few youngsters added.
The loss OF George Bush, who wen:
transforming with the chinese Trav-
elers, is greatly felt by this team,
however. Most of the hurting will be
done by Mahuka, who was with the
team last season, and Lopez, who
pitched winning ball for the Portn-
guese in hast years race. S. p: Cor
