WILLARD TO APPEAR
IN DEFENSE STUNTS

On May 10 we will get chance to
inspect the heavyweight champion of
the world, Jess Willard. Jess, Willard
will be in town for public appear
ance with the Sells-Floto circus, and
it will be his first appearance here
since he won the decision at Madison
Square Garden.
He will be here not so much as a
great fighter, but more as an example
of what clean living and plenty Of
exercise in the open will do for a man.
He aims to convince boys that they
can become devotees of athletics even
to the extent of engaging in a glove
bout and still be gentlemanly enough
to command the respect Of clean liv-
ing men and women
Willard will appear at all perform
ances. His first appearance will be
in his old role of cowboy, at the head
Of the Buffalo Bill Wild West COW
boys. Later he will illustrate, in ring
costume, with his sparring partner,
! how he won the championship, and
the punches given in his latest fight
at Madison Square Garden when he
won the decision over Moran.
1t is not intended that there will be
any real blows given, but the science
Of defense will be demonstrated by
the best man in the game.
