Willie Lewis Breaks Down;
Worries Over Sons Death

New York, March h-2S.-Willie Lewis,
the trainer and pal of Frank Moran,
is a synonym for gameness himself
Early last week he was given the worst
shock of his life when diphtheria
snatched his 7-year-old son away from
him. At the time Willie bore the
blow bravely and only thought of the
sufferings of his WIFE,. But after the
battle was over Saturday night, and
after he had seen that Frank was
safely abed and asleep. he turned to
his own home and when he arrived he
suffered complete breakdown.
His wife telephoned Moran late yes
terday afternoon about 'Willie's pros
tration and Moran hurried to his pals
bedside. A doctor is in constant at
tendance and Willie is reported to be
dangerously i'll.
Only those who were close to Willie
knew how much he was suffering over
the sad loss of his boy. But it was
apparent to all that his stout heart
was set upon Frank bringing home
victory. He drove from his head all
thought of himself and his family and
throughout the battle poured words of
encouragement into Moran's ears.
But the human brain and frame can
stand only so much. and the tension
was finally stretched beyond the break
ing point. 1t is a fine compliment to
his courage that he did not crack
under the strain of four days preced-
ing the bout.

EASTERN LEAGUE
SCHEDULE READY
Doubleheader on Saturday;
Sunday Games at Newark
and Providence

One outstanding feature of the
schedule of the International League
this year. just issued. is the number
OF double-headers aside from the two
games that are played on holidays. A
majority of these double bills are down
for decision on Saturdays, which would
give the impression that the Inter-
national rather hopes to thus bolster
up the season.
These bargain matinees are un-
evenly scattered between the clubs,
Rochester and Baltimore being favored
with eight each, while Richmond gets
six and Toronto and Buffalo each five.
Singularly. only one double-header has
been awarded to Montreal and New
ark, and Providence escapes without
any.
Buffalo and Rochester get the holi-
day plums, both playing at home on
Memorial Day and the Fourth OF July
and in return are scheduled both
morning and afternoon on Canadian
holidays, the former at Montreal and
Toronto and the latter having two
dates at the last-named place.
Newark and Providence are big Sun
day towns and the former has 13
games at home on Sunday and the
Clamdiggers II. The championship
season will open on April 26 at Balti-
more and Richmond, and on the next
day at Newark and Providence. Nat
urally, the home season of the north
ern teams will not open until the mid
die of May, so that good weather will
favor the teams

Jess Willard put the kibosh on re-

from Chicago. Willard, while not.
wanting the earth. has been sharing
his profits with his manager, and he is
also at big expense. He is sure of
good money with the circus this sum-
mer, and next Fall will come back
strong for all corners. The cash looks
good to him, and he wants more of it.
The total receipts for the Willard
Moran fight were S150,60S. The State
received $11,295.6O; Willard, $55,10
Moran. S26, $50, and the promoters the
balance.

sion in Philadelphia to-day and eX-
pected to make a certainty of the At

down to-day, and unless there are
contracts and leases for grounds and
managers Lawson will have to admit
he has lost out.

He Will Quit Fighting;
Says He Is Not Foolish
Special to the Telegraph

Chicago, March 2S. - Jess willard
arrived from New York yesterday with
his right hand in bandages. Other
wise he showed no ill effects of his
contest with Frank Moran in New
York Saturday night.
The champion will remain with his
family here until starting his season
with a circus April 20. 1t was said
that his contract with the circus calls
for S15O.000.
81 did not knock out Moran be-
cause a knockout would have bad
effect on the fighting game in New
York and there is enough feeling
against it now" said Willard. II do
not intend to retire. | am not that
much of a fool, even If they do say
things about me-"
Willard grinned when asked If the
satchel he carried contained tho
money he won.
"I've got some of 1t, all right" he
said, "and Tom Jones is coming along
with the rest"
The champion was greeted by a
large crowd at the station.
