If weeghman wants to trade he can
obtain Hornsby by renewing nego-

would be interested In such a move

Chicago, Dec. 24.-That Jess Will
lard, worlds heavyweight champion
boxer, has be~n in light training for
more than fortnight in anticipation
of a bout with Fred Fulton or some
other heavyweight for the benefit of
the Red Cross, became known here
last night. The champion, in discuss
ing reports that he had retired both
from the circus business and from the
ring, declared he had no intention of
quitting the boxing game as yet, and
pointed to the fact that he has been
in training for more than two weeks
as convincing proof he intends to re-
sumo boxing just as soon as conditions
permit.
Willard declared that even while
with the circus he took good care not
to go stale, and if Fulton. who is eager
to draw the champion into the ring
before spring. thinks he will catch Jess
of his guard, according to the cham
pion. Fred will be very much mis-
taken.
Yesterday Willard, to convince his
friends that he is keeping in condition,
went to the Arcade Gymnasium and
shadow boxed three one minute
rounds. Walter Monahan, his spar
ring partner, who appeared with Will
lard when he was on the stage in New
York city after his defeat Of Jack
