jim COFFEY WOULD WAHAIEAR
BEFORE Fighting JESS WILLARD

Jim Coffey seems to be insa great
hurry to make that match With Cham
pion Jess Willard The big freshman
already has fired the opening gun of
a campaign that has for its object a
match with the champion, to be decid.
ed as early as July 4, A guarantee OF
$4,000 for Wizards end goes with
Coffey's challenge. and no doubt he Is
sincere, but 1t is not altogether sure
that his Judgment is of the best in
Fastening matters.
Beyond all question coffey is the
most promising challenger in sight at
present. During the past few months
his Improvement has been startling,
and his popularity has grown to alto
gether unexpected proportions. 1t is
just for that reason that 1t is going to
be very easy to make mistake that
might ruin his whole career Beyond
a doubt Coffey and Willard would
draw record crowd IL they met this
summer. and Coffey's share would be
no inconsiderable sum. But II he real
iy expects to become champion he can
afford TO wait until the time Is ripe
before making the attempt.
Coffey has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by taking his time.
Both he and Willard are comparative,
ly inexperienced men. but Coffey has
the better strategical position. VIII
lard as champion will be tied up with
theatrical contracts. His appearances
in the ring will necessarily be few and
far between. Under such conditions
it will be impossible for him to get the
amount of practise he requires. On
the other hand, there is nothing to
prevent Coffey from lighting every few
weeks.
II is very obvious that il Coffey is
to beat Willard he must have the pre-
pcnderance Of skill on his side. VIII
lard has a tremendous advantage in
size, weight and strength, and this
can only be overcome by superior gen.
eralship on the part or the smaller
man. AS matters stand Coffey is far
too inexperienced to have a reason
able chance of beating down the pow.

II may be altogether different. Time
will work for Coffey, and the odds
against him are bound to shorten the
longer he delays.
There Is nothing 10 prevent Coffey

Benny started with ten straight
strikes. He had a perfect 800 score
in sight by making two more strikes.
However, the strain proved too great
and the eleventh ball went to the
side for only four pins. Benny clean

making his total 2S4. { This is a record
that will doubtless stand for some
time. 1t was clean mark against

than any man In the ring. On the
other hand, Willard is slow to improve.
and on account of his great length OF
limb he can never attain the same
amount of speed that is possible for
coffey to acquire. cofrey is built for
speed as well as strength, but as yet
he has not learned to make the most

just as valuable as strength, but it

II Corey is wise he will wait until
he reaches the stage where improve
ment ceases. Then it.will be time for
him to strike. Apparently that time
is some distance away, but Coffey can
AFFORD to wait. He is still. mere
youth, while Willard, according to re-
port is on the. wrong side of thirty.
Willard denies this. declaring he is
only twenty-eight. Even so, the adj
vantage Is with the lrishman

There are at least two men who might
be able to outpoint him right now, but
in the long run that would not mat

championship material he is bound to

why he would do we'll to take on all
