Dan Morgan is out Win All io-hoi"'
roar about Jess Willard. Dan gets
right down to cases by saying that Jess
is a false alarm. Hark ye to Daniel;
"The great question right now Is:
Can Jess Willard fight? ! say no, have
said so all the time, and I'm backed up
by Battling Levinsky. You know any
thing don't know about fighting, which
is precious little, Levinsky tells me.
When the Battler pours wisdom INTO
m ear ! listen, for believe, as Jim
Corbett does, that Levinsky is the
headest big man in the ring to-day;
Moran may be a college man and all
that sort of thing, but as a master
workman Levinsky has them all backed
into a dark and dank corner. -.
"Levinsky speaks right up ABOUT
Willard. He says that he is fslse
alarm and can't fight That's oihciai;
mind you, if Levinsky says It. lie toid
me enough about Cowler after thelr
fight to convince me that Jim Corbett
is wasting his time and his friends
money stringing with Cowler. Bat
saws that Cowler isn't game, and ne
gives this as his reason: In the thiTd
round. if you remember, Cowler caught
Levinsky with terrific punch on the
law. II was the first time that | ever
saw the Battler stung so that his knees
knocked together.
"And wha. did big Cowler do? Just
stepped back and watched Levinsky,
evidently figuring that he was playing
'possum. He didn't have the nerve to
90 in there after him. Levirsky knew
il. even before his head cleared. But
back to Willard. If he is sIch great
fighter-and the only men who are now
saving he is were the very ones VINO
panned him right up to the fight with
Johnson.
"Now that he whipped Johnson every,
thing has changed. When Willard
fought Johnson for the title Johnson
looked like a whale. He was pounds
and pounds over his regular fighting
weight. What was the result? John
son fell down and Willard stood up.
| tell YOU that Willard is the luckiest
man in the world He's even luckier
than Jim Corbett was, and you know
what 3 cinch poor. old, fat John l.. was
for the dashng Californian.
"Levinsky can whip big Jess. People
seem to have forgotten the miserable
fights he put against Rodel in New
1 Haven and Carl Morris in New York.
( Surely he couldn't have improved over
/ those bouts without engaging IN any.
/ The first good man that he meets VIII
make show of him. Beef doesn't
make a champion. If he thinks that
he can whip Levinsky by laying his
bulk on him, why let him put up some
of that 101 money and l will cover IT.
Honest. / will"
Over in Brooklyn they will have .
fight tonight that ought TO shake the
old Brooklyn Bridge TO its very foun-
dations. Jim Flynn, past master in
rough housing, and Jack Dillon, him-
self no parlor demonstrator OF the
manly art, will grapple at the Broad
way Sporting Club. This will not be
any of your fauncy shindigs. Flynn is
n plain fighter, and so is Dillon
Against clever men they do not shine
particularly, but, somehow or other
/ they always manage to make fight OF

echoes of their haymakers.
Young Ahearn leaves for ST. Paul
this afternoon on n mission that is
onite an event IN his young life. Jake

town in a bout that is being called the

I Forbes's gymnasium tomorrow. Mike

John the Barber called upon the new
commissioners yesterday, gave them all
tbe "howdee" and then passed out sate-
: Nv razors for favors. Jawn came with
an idea, and he tossed it right J. among
the boxing moguls for consideration
John wants the ban against whites and
blacks boxing lifted. John unbosomed

work for Sam Langford and others who
are equally ms good as Sam.
