To the Rev. Mr.. Brooks:

To the Rev. Mr.. Brooks:
Reverend Brooks is a poet;
His rhyme is very fine.
But 1 think this gray-haired preacher
Didn't really speak his mind
I think that verse got in his head
On the Johnson Willard bout
And until it was on paper
He couldn't get it out.
I think this fine old darby
Don't believe just what he wrote.
Cause way down in his heart he
That Jess will get Jacks goat.
If your baseball bug has begun to
work, be sure to be at the fan meet
ing at the Commercial club tomorrow
night.
Jimmy Jackson, Topeka's new play
er-manager, and John Savage, the
new club owner, are the best looking
club heads in the Western league. If
you have not met these gentlemen and
doubt this statement, be at the Com
mercial club tomorrow night and see
for yourself.
At the meeting of the Kansas State
Billiard association, held in Wichita
this week, it was the unanimous opin-
ion that all halls permitted to operate
in the state must be kept clean. This
action is not only commenda BILE, but
it is most sensible. A sport is popular
in proportion to its cleanness and its
straightneSs. And, as a little Ieaven
leaveneth the whole loaf, so does one
pool hall joint besmirch a multitude
of clean, decent establishments.
Jack Holland, of St Joe, is out of
all luck when it comes to dealing with
the Michiganders. Here is what the
Sporting News says about it: Last
year he secured Pitcher Mcdonald
from Battle Creek, but Mcdonald re-
fused to report. This spring he trad
ed Mcdonald for player named
Brown; but just after the deal was
made Brown was arrested for brea k
ing into a box car and taking things
he will likely have to stay in Jail all
summer.

WOMEN WATCH WILLARD.
Kansas White Hope Is Said to Be
Short of Wind.

Havana. March 25.-Warm weather
Wednesday gave Jack Johnson and
Jess willard the first opportunity in
several days to work in the open air
in training for their battle for the
worlds heavyweight championship on
April 4. Both pugilists drew crowds
who were anxious to see them at
work.
Willard trained at Miramar in the
presence of 500 spectators, a third of
whom were women. Many tourists
We're among those who watched the
challenger do an hour and a quarters
hard work at the pulleys, punching
ball and boxing II rounds.
Willard has developed a good
straight left. His wind is only fair.
His sparring partners landed freely
today and despite the fact that they
are smaller men, the challenger was
easily thrown off his balance in the
clinches Willard hits terrific blow
finished boxer. Without defending
himself, he took punishment about the
head and body, apparently not being
disconnected.
Johnson likewise took a six-mile
run in the morning. The champion
boxed nine rounds fifth Bob Arm
strong, Collin Bell and Dave Mills
without intermission. Willard took
minutes rest between rounds while he
was boxing and Johnson's partners are
huskier and more experienced than
those of the challenger. johnson de-
clared that he could fight today if
necessary and said that in another
ton.
Americans have begun to bet in IA
vor of Johnson, offering small sums
