WILLIAMS POPULAR
STAR AT NET GAME

New York, April A.-R. Norris Williams
II, Is perhaps the most popular player
who ever held the national tennis singles
title. Williams Is youth with a sunny
disposition and for this reason he makes
friends everywhere.
But Williams's idea Of how a cham
pion should conduct himself with regard
70 defending his title is another thing
which has contributed to his popularity.
During the winter williams announced
that he intended giving all aspirants a
chance against him in tournaments during
the coming season. He will play Just as
much tennis as he possibly can, and when
the national singles championships are
held he will have had a long and siren
uous season.
Keeping in action is w1Iiams's idea,
and II is certain to boost interest in the
game.

New York, April 21.-Jess Willard is
going ahead with his plans to exhibit with
circus all season. His contract began
about ten days ago. Willard says he sees
no chance of getting a match before next
winter and he does not believe he will
have to take advantage of the clause in
his contract which permits him to break

the contenders or pretenders, rather.
There has been a lot of talk and little
money in evidence" said Willard. ANY
