published notices. This is the re-
suit of labors started some time ago,
that has seemed long deferred, but
will be the more appreciated because
of the delay. This is not only good
boost for the town, but positive
benefit for the farmers.

WASHINGTON, March 81
The news that Jess Willard retains
the championship was f | a sh d
around the world from the Arling-
ton wireless towers. At the close
of the fight flash was sent out
giving the result. At midnight a
condensed summary of the fight by
rounds was sent broadcast.
Navy wireless experts said the
news would reach every ship in
the United States Navy, no matter
where it might be, and all the big
passenger liners on the two oceans
carrying wireless.
The message sent out from Ar
lington added the in junctio on,
"Send it along" 1t was expected
every naval vessel and every COM
mercial ship would relay the news
until it had encircled the globe.
Arlington officials made no eff
fort to get the news to General
Pershing's Mexican expeditionary
forces. There was no reason, they
said, why Pershing's field wireless
could not pick up the message.

him to show the people what kind of
champion he was. But the pain In his
hand made him slow UP after the FIRST
two minutes and he was on the defensive
when Moran put on that rally in the last
30 seconds.
I am confident that Willard can stop
Moran any time he wants to II they meet

Jess will defend his title against any

ent there seems to be no one, with the
possible exception of Fred Fulton. and he
will have to show something good before

We start our circus engagements on

We will be busy until late in the fall,
but Jess will keep himself in good condi-
tion and will be ready to step into the

JESS WILLARD happy that II was all
over He looked like a man who had been
relieved of a heavy burden and was en-
joyng life
There was no crowd of admirers in the
lobby That is why Big Jess sat down to
converse with us. Even the doorman
and the bell boys went about their work
without paying the slightest attention to
the famous man. The champion was
treated the same as any other guest in
the hotel, and the absent treatment was
"a big hit.

fine today" smiled Jess. ~ broke 1t in

But Frank is n game man and took
considerable punishment without backing

force behind it and l could feel that it
hurt him. But the bout never would have

After the fight, my hand was swollen so
that Tom Jones had to cut the glove to
get II of.

a happy smile spread over his face.
"Theres no place like home you know,
