A special boat is bringing him to Key
West, Fla, from where a triumphal
tour through the south to New York
will be begun. Jess is entitled to all
the adulation he gets. Derided, fac
ing the natural handicaps of all
white hopes"-a now defunct spe-
cies, almost human-he went against
Johnson and won the title. And he
had to go some to win.
The big black man has done many
things in the past that have not been
to his credit, but his star sets bright
ly, for he fought as game fight as
was ever seen and proved himself
physical marvel At that, Jack was
whittier than some of the company he
kept.
Only one or two things dim the
pleasure we take in Wizards trium-
phal tour. Tom Jones will probably
stand on the back end of the train
and tell the folks what he did to make
the cowboy a champion, the only
thing falling to Jess lot being deliv-.
ering the punch. Rather an import
ant part of the program, in our es-
timation, but Tom won't see it that
way. And if Tom is allowed to finish
his talk at each station, the train
won't get to New York before July 4.
Jack CurIey will probably have a
place of honor beside Jones. Curley
promoted the fight and is now pro-
noting the Willard tour, which has
its peculiar aspects, Just what Jack
will talk about is not known: Some
of US would like to hear few words
about the Gotch-Hack match at the
White Sox park few years ago.
But even Jesse James never talked
much about his hold-ups.
Give Willard credit. He has done
a big thing and will keep the title for
five or ten years. In the meantime,
overlook some of the camp followers
who will attach themselves to him.

of some rough work in it's early
games, looks like an aggregation
that can give a good account of itself
in the coming National league cam
paign.
AS an example, portion of yester-
days game against Chattanooga is
cited. For five innings the big
leaguers were helpless before the
shoots of Cunningham, a right
handler. They managed to scratch
one run across, but failed to deliver
in the pinches, despite the fact that
runners were getting on with regu-
larity.
Then southpaW was injected into,
the pastime against the Bresnahans.
Zimmerman tripled. That was all
right, as Zim is slashing right-hand-
ed batter and supposed to be effective
! against left-handed pitching. Up
came Safer, who swings from the Off
side of the plate. Vic promptly sin
gled, scoring run.
Next was Cy Williams. Those who
remember Long Cy's efforts against
southpaw pitching in the past sea-
sons would not expect much. But
Cy, who is not the Cy of last year,
belted choice left-handed offering
for four bases, winning the ball
game, to 3.
This stout cIouting by Safer, Will
iams, McLarTy and Schultz against
left-handed pitching is one of the
most encouraging signs about the
1915 class of Cubs. The team will
not be soft spot for portsiders to
be dropped in against, as it has been
for the past two seasons.
The pitchers that are facing the
Cubs now are minor leaguers, but
they are advanced in their training.
And it should not be forgotten that
earlier in the season, when the Mack
men and Phillies were encountered,
the west siders pasted the ball with
hnffaT.
