Willard for giving a large number of the
worlds greatest loser pickers a chance
finally to land on a winner. Prominent
sporting gents who have not been RICH,
since the record of Maud s. was broken
called the turn on this historic occasion
and they can prove 1t by us. They all
told us SO before the battle and they
have all been around since to tell US tina,
they told us 50.
In fact. most everybody knew that VIII
lard was going to win. IL you will permit
us to judge from the conversation that
was reconversed around the Havana
hotels last night and this morning and
on the Key West boat this afternoon.
Everybody won a big fat bet Off some
fellow whose name they cannot just re-
call and everybody. in consequence, Is in

and inasmuch as he was about the only
person in the whole world who was ex-

has turned out to be one mighty salts

The great white race never felt better
in Its whole life and it is finding some
diversion by pushing the races which ars
not quite so white. off the sidewalks of
Havana.

morning that there was some dissension
among the syndicaters of Willard OVER
the question Of proprietorship of big Jess.
The men who put up the money for the
night and Jack Curley. who was the truck
horse of the occasion, are said to have
been laborfnS under the delusion that
they had an interest IN Wizards subse-
quent efforts. while Tom Jones, manager
of the Kansan. Is alleged to have taken
the ground that the syndicate is con-
cerned only with the pictures and ha,
nothing whatever to do with Willard
himself.
Who VIII Manage jess
If the report is true. this little matter
promises large amount Of conversation
from both sides In the immediate future.
II the promoters did not know Just where
they stood In the premises, 1t was their
own fault, for they cannot say they did
not know T. Jones, whose generosity Is
proverbial in the sporting world.

Willard makes Jones' third champion,
Papke and Wolgast being the others.
When a man comes up with that many
the sporting fraternity is
apt to argue that he is lucky, but We
are inclined to the belief that in Jones'
case 1t represents an innate genius for
avoiding work. He is unquestionabIy a
good developer of fighters. but while he
