A GALA MAY DAY
COMING NEXT WEEK.

The operetta "PauIine" by the High
School Chorus, May 9TH, at the
Opera House.
The season of picnics is almost at
hand, and you are invited to the first
one of the season, which is to take
place on Friday evening of next week
regardless of weather. The partici-
pants are all young, at least at heart,
full of life and vim. Even the staid
village physician bends to the mood
of the season and woos the queenly
heroine. The Professor, young Reu-
ben, Miss Chickie and Guile share IN
the fun, to the delight of all, save one.
But the rest of the story will be told
by the young folks themselves in their
sparkling musical numbers. DR.. Chas.
H. Gabriel wrote both music and
libretto, which accounts for their "vig-
or with beauty entwined."
Admission will be only rs and IS
cents, seats may be reserved at Carl
sons Drug Store beginning next We'd
nesday morning. A large audience for
this event would greatly encourage
the musical work of our schools.

James. Rudolph and Tyler working at
! their top stride last year, the subs"
of the pitching staff had little oppor-
tunity to show their wares, but on
the ninth OF September last Davis
improved his shining hour by joining
the no-hit immortals OF swatting Phil
lies. who, in spite OF their utmost cf-
forts, got nary hit nor run OH
the delivery OF the young law stu
dent. Thereby Davis joined that Illus
trious company which includes such
names as Cy Young, Mathewson, Joss,
Thornton. Breitenstein and Terry.
Like his chief, Davis is a cast-off OF
the Yankees, with whom he made his
debut in professional baseball. The
young pitcher made his first appear
ance in the limelight as the twirling
star OF Williams College. the old
Massachusetts, institution which was
among the first to adopt baseball as
college sport. Before he had re-
ceived his sheepskin from Williams,
Davis was offered a berth with the
New York Americans, and he toIneu
the club in 1912. He pitched only four
games in the big league that year, and
lost three Of them. Davis was taken
to Bermuda by Frank Chance in the
spring of 1913, but the Peerless Lead
er decided he wasn't ripe for the nam
show. and sent him to Jersey City.
| After brief period with the Shelters,
the youngster was transferred to
Rochester. and toward the close of
the season he was bought by Boston.
In the uniform of the Braves Davis
proved that he was a marvel, with a
good pitching wing and unusual con-
troll for q beginner, but lacking in ex-
perience. In his few appearances on
the mound last year he did nothing
| very spectacular with the exception of
that phenomenal game with the Phil
lies. In that contest Davis passed

Johnson Willard Bout TO Be
Real Heavyweight Battle

biggest man who ever held the title.
Jeffries weighed 22O pounds, and
stood feet liz inches in fighting
shoes; Johnson is feet u inches
tall and weighs about 215 pounds, in
condition; Jim Corbett scaled 1877
pounds ut his best and was feet
inch tall; Fitzsimmons was / II inches
shorter and fought at about 10
pounds; Sullivan stood 5 feet 1919
inches. and fought at 1875 pounds; Tom
Sharkcy was feet 8 inches, and
fought his best bouts at close to 100
pounds.
Compared with these past heavy
weight gladiators. Willard appears as
a Samson. Even when ranged along
side of Johnson the Kansas cowby
over-shadows the negro title holder
in almost every point Of physical
measurements. In addition to his 51a
inches advantage in height and ten
years difference in age, he outweiyhs
Johnson by 30 pounds. His reach of
S31a inches against the negro's &c
inches will also prove OF exceptional
value If properly used. III all the
measurements of trunk and limbs,
Willard shows an advantage in struc-
ture. muscle and chest expansion,
varying from 2 to 4 inches.
To offset these physical assets,
Johnson has the benefit of ring wis
dom and craft cultivated during his

'& CBy Associated PressI
NEW YORK, March 29.-The his
tory of the prize ring offers no parallel
of the battle for the worlds heavy
weight championship in which Jack
johnson and Jess Willard viii! engage
next Monday at Havana. Cuba. Big
men have fought for this premier title
of fistiana since the early days Of the
eighteenth century, but never through
the long list of champions from James
Figg to Jim Jeffries have two fighters
of the physical proportions of Willard
and Johnson crossed arms in the rope
arena.
:. OF the champions OF modern times
Corbett, Jeffries and Johnson all
passed the 6-foot mark, while Sullivan,
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons were from
i to inches below this height. When
the negro title holder and his chal-
senger step into the ring on Monday,
Willard will tower 6 feet 6 inches in
che air while Johnson will stand 51s
inches below him. In weight these
fighters are also far above the ring
average of the heavyweight class,
Willard will weigh close to 235 pounds.
which will give him an advantage Of
about 20 pounds over Johnson in the
clinching and tussling, which will
doubtless play an important part in
- battle.

long career as championship conten-
der and holder. Just as Willard sur
passes Johnson in every point OF physI
cal make up the Galveston pugillst
excells the Kansas boxer in all de-
! partments of the science of giving
and evading glove punishment. With
youth and power ranged against ex-
! perience and skill. the battle is likely
to develop into a contest in which
ring strategy will equalize brute
strength and courage.
! Johnson's ring assets are well
known. but uncertainty clouds Viii
lard's prospects. In his short period
of active glove battling he has never
faced an opponent Of the power. skill
and experience of Johnson. The negro
is no physical weakling, even at the
age of 3S years, and while Willard
must be accorded the advantage mere,
1t is likely that the champions often
sive and defensive skill in both box
ing and clinching will nullify this to
a considerable extent. I ntne closing
rounds Of the battle it is probable that
endurance and courage will play an
important part.
Willard has shown both these quail
ties. but up to the present time. has
not been noted for aggressiveness or
boxing ability. Whether he can rise
to the opportunity will be demon.
strated in the supreme test at Havana
next Monday. The future drawing
powers OF new champion towering
far above many of his predecessors
adds a glamor to the battle which the
promoters have had in mind since
they began the preliminary arrange
ments some months ago.
That the matchmaking was not
without its delays and upsets is shown
by the fact that IL the pugilists meet
as scheduled next Monday, six months
will have elapsed since the day Jack
Curley and the other promoters of
the big bout decided upon securing
Johnson's signature to the articles OF
agreement. The big champion was in
France at that time and Curley was
entrusted with the commission to go
and find the Texas negro and secure
his endorsement on the articles which
had been signed by Willard a day or
two previously. The syndicate wnlcl.
promoted the bout had picked Willard
as the most promising OF the white
heavyweights to take the title from
Johnson. and they still believe that
the Kansasan will prove the victor.
Curley arrived at Paris, France.

Johnson had gone to London. England.

ferhaps that was only a flash in the
pan, and Davis himself declared II
was case of luck, with all the breaks
of the game in his favor. but all the
same 1t isn't feat performed yery
often. and practically never by sec
ond-string twirIers.
Personally Davis is a quiet, studi-
GUS, careful chap, very fond OF read
ing and study. and in his diamond
work he has sought to apply scien-
tifc principles to the game. After
leaving Williams College he entered
Harvard Law school, and he expects
to be able to hang out his shingle as
a barrister when his diamond days
are over.
