Jess Willard Has Rabbit Hunt

Too Modest To See Himself In Movies
By ~ OROURKE. Wiuard,s sparring Partner.

rattlesnake ever craWled over, we
returned to camp. weary but not dis
cOuraged, for we had learned the east
I est way to get rabbits and the next

the natives.
Plenty of Seats.
The carpenters have replaced the
temporary benches around the boxing
! pavilion with modern raised grand
stand, capable of seating 25OO people
As this is done entirely for the accom-
mediation Of the many visitors, and at
a cost Of several hundred dollars, VIII
/ lard feels justified in making the pro-
posed charge of 25 cents for the spe-
cial Sunday exhibitions.
In spite of the long morning hike,
Willard tore into his sparring part
ners during the afternoon workout
with his usual vim, complaining at the
finish because he did not have more
men Manager Jones will supply addi-
tlCnal opponents just as fast as he
thinks Willard needs them, but at pres
ent he believes that eight or ten fast
rounds a day is enough for the big
fellow. Willard is in such great shape
now that Jones is taking no chances
on letting him overtrain.
Jesse Is Energetic.
Jesse seems to have an unlimited
amount of surplus energy to work off
and is never still minute. He fills in
his spare time looking after the stock
plOWlng, doing the chOrIe or pitching
horseshOes. One of his favOrite stunts
is to don his prairie stained cowboy
regalia and tear out across the ranch
on wild eyed bronco, waving his hat
and whooping it up in old fashioned
puncher style. His ambition to ride
everything on four legs causes Jones
no end Of worry, but the big Kansan
IS as safe on buckJumper as a babe
in a cradle.
1t would undoubtedly be considered
breach of etiquet to accuse a fighter
Of modesty, but Willard has time and
again shown evidence of an Unborn dis
like for notoriety. An incident which
bears out this statement occurred when
the moving picture play, featuring the
white champ, arrived in FL PasO.
Jess Is Timid.
naturally, we were all anxious TO
sec the pictures and Jones arranged a
special trip to town for the whole
camp.
When it came time to go, Jesse was
nowhere to be found leaving US the
alternative of going without him The
him was excellent and I know he was
curious to see himself in the role OF
an actor, so on our return, I cornered
him in his room for an explanation.
I'm willing to let people look at me
when there's advertising value in il"

II the pictures weren't good, I'd feel
foolish"
It's a rare combination, to find the
heart OF fighter and the heart of a
boy in the same breast

Tex, Feb. 12.-Camp Willard was
~ astir at daybreak. Manager Tom
Jones, who is always on the lookout
for something to break the monotony
of camp life. without interfering with
the required schedule of work, had ar
ranged an early morning rabbit hunt
IN the sandhills. The party started
on foot as soon as we finished a hasty
breakfast and covered the three or
more miles to the scene of intended
slaughter before the sun had torn it
self loose from the cactus studded
horizon.
Jones' by virtue Of his prowess as a
Inarksman, carried the shotgun, 18th
century model, Is gage; Mrs Jones,
decked in her leather riding skirt and
boots, had a little % Flobert tucked
under her arm, while ] completed the
roll Of field pieces with a villainous
locking six shooter, which, I have been
told since, has a chronic habit of mis-
firing.
Big Jesse welded long stick; Mon
Afghan carried u rock in each hand,
and Hempel brought UP the rear with
a large gunnysack to bring back the
game.

Thus armed to the teeth, we were

BILLIARD BOWLERS WIN FROM
BARELAS IN SPECIAL MATCH

billiards. bowling team defeated Barela's
team at the Wigwam alleys Friday night in
special match by a margin OF los pins.
The feature Of the match was the fact that
every man on both teams was many pins
over the 500 mark except Juan Barela him
self, who fell so pins short. Had Barela
rolled up to his usual form he would GER
tainly have scored enough additional points
to give his team the victory. But he had
an off night and was unable to hold up his
end. Campbell had high game with PIG
and high total with the fine score OF $50,
the latter giving him an average OF almost
200 for the three games.

an old baseball man. He pitched for
years in all classes of ball. For several
years he pitched on the st. Louis Ma

HUGE EXPORT SLUMP IN AMERICAN TOOLS

Loss of Trade in Agricultural lm- pIementS Is Caused By Europ- can War But Boom Market Will Follow.

 The European war was doubtless the dominant factor in the great fall ing off in our exports of agricultural implements in the fiscal year just ended, since the decrease in sales to Europe was disproportionate to that in sales to other sections. Thus our exports of agricultural implements to European Russia, usually the greatest of foreign markets for this class of American manufacturers, practically ceased .as did also those 10 Germany, while huge losses likewise occurred
