the mighty fighter of Kansas that is
greater than any tribute he could re-
ceive by earning the reputation of be-
ing a savage slugger whose greatest
joy lay in knocking the life out of
opponents to whom nature has been
less generous The above tribute
shows that Willard is not only a big
man physically, but that he has big,
kindly soul and that he has the con-
sideration for weaker men that civil
ization is supposed to produce.
Ever since the fight sport writers
have been harping on the fact that
Willard could have won by a knock
out if he had desired, and they have
been calling him a dub for not doing
so. But is it not better to be called a
dub for refusing to take advantage of
a helpless, smaller opponent than to
be called big, heartless, savage brute
who lives and labors that he may be
able to lay others low with his giant
fists. The public has been clamoring
for the uplift of the fight game And
If the public really wants to see the
squared circle arena raised to a higher
plane, there is no better way of show
ing this desire than by giving Willard
all the credit due him for the nobler
instincts he displayed when he had
the smaller, blood covered Irishman at
his mercy last Saturday night.

both Savage and baltimore were
very much e1ated over the ARRIVAL OF
kpler. and since he has his Federal
league release in black and white It
seems that there is no chance for any
other club to claim his services ana
get away with the claim.
Monroe's coming means that the
first string catcher job is all but sa1ted
away, and that Snow, Texter ana
Wiesing will have to settle down to a
three cornered fight for the second
string berth. The return of Monroe
also is certain to strengthen the CLUB
in every way and to make the pen
nant chances all the brighter.
Rapps Not Coming.
1t has been Definitely decided that
Rapps will not be brought on. Both
savage and baltimore were anxious to
have him here, but with so much ma
teriaI of such good caliber they could
not see thier way clear to use him.
Rapps has been a valuable man on the
club, and a host of his fan friends
win regret to learn that he is to be
among the missing, but the majority
realize that he would have an uphill
fight if brought on and that the wise
thing has been done. Bill Fisher and
Nick Lakoff also will be among the
missing this year, it has been an
nounced.
Thursday afternoon most of the
players were glad the weather man
gave them an opportunity to rest up
their sore muscles, but today they
were scheduled for hard workout.

Although he has retired from or
ganized baseball, Dick kaufman has
answered the call of the diamond and
has been out working with the Saw
ages this week.
Pitcher Blodgett, the southpaw
Omahog, who was drafted by the n.
Y. Yankees, has not come up to the
requirements of Wild Bill Donovan
and will probably be turned back to
Pa Rourke this season.
Doc Hollinger and his goat are
among the regular attendants at the
Savage practice each afternoon. Some
one called the goat a boat Wednes-
day afternoon and Doc almost took Of
Tense. The goat didn't.
If you don't think competition is
keen among the would-be members of
Manager LattimOre's team you ought
to go out and watch 'em work. Sol
diering' is the least thought about
thing in the world among the men.
Contrary to last seasons conditions.
there is less competition among the
pitchers than any of the other hope
fuls. But baltimore is keeping the
twirlers busy at that, and says not one
of them has guarantee of a job.
Many of the local fans regret that
it has been deemed advisable not to
bring on Roaring Bill Rapps, but
others realize it is better to have as
many new faces as possible on the
team. Also, that it is better to have
young men who have their careers
before them rather than behind them.
In reply to an inquiry from Circle
vile, Kansas, it is repeated that the
second squad of the White Sox will be
here next Wednesday for a game with
the Savages The first squad will be
here Thursday and will also play a
game here.
In making his selection from the big
batch of material on hand, Manager
baltimore says he intends to be gov
erned by performance more than any
thing else. You can't tell how fast a
horse can go until you see him run
is the way Latte puts it, and you
can't tell what a player can do until
you see him in action"
LATHE says that not a single one of
the players is assured of a job and that
all will have to show that they have
the stuff better than those who are
trying out against them before they
can expect to connect with the salary
department of the club. Past per-
formances may be considered as cir
cumstantial evidence, but direct proof
! will be demanded from all.
A WILLARD BOOST.
In explaining why Willard did not
knock out Frank Moran in their re-
cent bout in N. Y, Grantland Rice
pays the following tribute to the Kan
sas champion: after all, Willard
knows he is the best heavyweight in
the world, and he does not grudge life
and living to a few more. Jess is a
genial soul And why not? With that
long left arm and his snappy right up
percut, Jess should find fighting just
about the best fun in the world"

Manhattan, Kan, March 31.-Next

baseball season for the Kansas Aggie
squad. Thirty men have been on the
diamond for the last three weeks and
it looks like the baseball team this
year will be fully as much a credit to
the institution as was the basketball
team in the season just closed.
While five letter men of last years
aggregation failed to return this year.
the team is not materially crippled, as
an extra large bunch of new men are
trying for positions Just at present
the coach cannot find any position in
which the team will be weak.
At least two, and in some cases as
many as five, candidates are out for
positions both in the infield and out
field Every man is good and this
means that the best men with the
stick will make the first team.
