Jess Willard, man-mountain and

won't do two things. He won't re-
fuse to meet a legimate opponent in
the ring. He won't refuse to join the

moned. Jess, who is here with his
circus stunt, gravely announces both
these stupendous truths.

to hook me up with Carl Morris"
says willard. He wouldn't, have
drawn $4,000 at the gate. On the
other hand, Fulton was coming along
nicely and, had he won, would have
been considered. The fans would
have turned out to see MIN in the

Willard says that he will be willing
to defend his title at least twice more
before retiring. Inasmuch as he is
tied up by his circus contract until
cold weather. and IL requires consid-
erable time for training, the champ

Hitting Puts comiskey Tribe
in Front at Beginning.

The White Sox are leading the
American League race with eight vic
tories out OF their first ten games
their pitching has been Uniformly
smooth and timely hits have appeared
to bring over the needed tallies. Un-
less some foe begins topping the
Chicagoans shortly. they will once
more make the fight over the first
third of the season. This has been
their custom for several years.
Last week the White Sox won FIVE
of their six games played. scoring
twenty-three runs on forty-one hits
Their opponents scored twelve runs.
In addition to good pitching and time
ly hitting, the Sox had but two errors
in their record, the best work in the
league.
The Athletics, with fifty-six bin
giles, led the league at the bat, though
winning but two out of six games.
Their fifty men left on bases tells the
tale succinctly.
The Tigers, thanks to poor pitch
ing lost four of their six games, but
they whaled out forty-six hits, the
second highest for the week
The Griffmen won but one game
last week in FIVE played. although
their forty-fve hits entities them to
third place in this regard. Their
twenty-three runs gives them first
honors along with the White Sox and
Iigers. Cleveland. st. Louis, and
Pniladelphia had more than the nine
misplays charged against the Griff-
men. Thirty-four men were left on
