CHAMP WILLARD
TO FIGHT WHEN
CONFLICT ENDS

There is no use in fighting when
everyone else is doing the same
thing.
According to a report, Jess Willard
has decided not to re-enter the ring
until the war is over
The heavyweight champion is of the
opinion that a match at this time or
until peace has been declared is not
advisable.
Whether Jess is stirred by feeling
Of patriotism or whether his actions
arc governed by business acumen the
report does not state.
However, it is the opinion among
promoters and boxers that a bout
would not prove a profitable venture
principally because of the big guaran-
tee and percentage Willard would de-
mand.
A big admission price would have to
be charged to make the gate" worth
while. and the general tendency among
the fans" seems to be to think a long
time before falling for any more
big taxes at the "turnstiles,"

WAR TAX LANDS
ON GOLF CLUBS u.
WITH EMPHASIS

The new war tax is going to alight
with great emphasis upon the country
clubs. and is destined to bite deeply
into the golf club professionals. So
far as the club members are concerned
the imposition of a tax of 10 per cent
upon years dues win mean in many
cases that SIS to $40 a year will have
to be tackled on the yearly charges.
In virtually every case it is expected
that the club will pass this charge
along to the members. ;. AS everything
else in connection with golf and ten
mis- has climbed up into the sky, it is
considered that many will have to
foreso sports or practice them in mod
Grafton. =
So far as the professional of the club
is concerned, the law says that all
kinds of equipment, the list being ont
merated, must be charged 3 per scenI
of the price for which 1t was sold. Add
to this the fact that = per cent tax is
imposed upon all stock on hand, and
the burden begins to press. For in
stance, many golf professionals, who
handle the sale of balls. have stock
on hand as high as $1,000 or even
more.

WRESTLERS LAST

Though Sport Is Strenuous,
Top-NOtchers of Mat Game
Retain Power for Years.

3 Wrestling is one of the most strenu-
Gus Of all sports. 1t demands the ut
most in strength and endurance and
and most exhaustive form of exercise
yet take a look over the wrestlers.
They last longer than any other attn
letes.
Ball players, tennis players, boxers
runners and jumpers. and others arc
usually through as athletes at the age
35-most of them earlier than this.
Wrestlers are just reaching their best
at this age. And most of them are good
for at least ten years more.
Gotch retired as worlds champion n;

PLAYERS of Disbanded
Leagues Are Reserved

The minor leagues, and especially
the Northwestern league, won a de-
cided victory when announcement was
made from Louisville that players Of
leagues forced to disband would be re-
served for them.
As a result Russ Hall at Tacoma will
collect 81 900 for one Harry Harper,
sluGgiug outfieder, whom Joe Tinker
Of Columbus, o.. bought and then tried
to keep from paying for.
The minors made a hard fight for this
point, and Robert BleWett, president
of the Northwestern league, made the
trip especially to try and put over this
ruling, 1t would not be retroactive
however, as it will govern 1913 con-
tracts only.

Lure Of the Ring Overcomes
Majority Of Retired Champs

fight before the two Milwaukee, clubs.
a, week prior to his weighing in before
ahe South Side club. Dennis had scaled
-I29 pounds. He was matched with IA
-NNung fellow named krause, but when
it came time for weighing in. Dennis
surprised all of them by scaling just 100
pounds. How he came to lose nine
pounds in a few days is a mystery. He
had been matched previously TO meet
Johnny Mendelson at 1873 pounds a
week later and under the rules of Wis
eahsin's boxing, Dennis could not go
ahead with a match against Mendelson
because of the difference of over 10
bounds in weight.
y, Taking the matter very seriously
Dennis approached Referee Harry
Stout and said: Gee, but am up
against it. I've got to make 1873 pounds
for Mendelson and l don't know how
ito get that heavy" but what about
catch weights?" said Stout. Well,
don't know, but maybe could make
Ecatch weights all right However,
Mr.. Dennis had no chance to make
tcatch weights or any weight. for he
! was taken off the card and will have
ITO find out just what weight he can
make before the clubs will match him
again.
Dennis did just the reverse Of what
Johnny Thompson did when he was
in Australia. Johnny gained nearly Is
pounds overnight, while Dennis lost al
;Emost that much.
T. Clever Woman Boxer.
! 1t is seldom that a woman has been
KNOWN to make a success of boxing,
i but Miss Helen Hildreth of Pittsburgh
seems to be an exception to the rules
! Miss Hildreth has boxed a great deal
around Pennsylvania, and claims the
! championship of America for women
i boxers. She is rather dainty miss
lscaling only 105 pounds, but she has
boxed with women much heavier thar
herself and always with success. She
| has a challenge out to box any woman
in the world. in a scientific way, fol
the title. Johnny St Paul, has boxed
! with Miss Hildreth, and kewpi,
, ,youches for her cleverness as a sparrer
She Mas also boxed with such lads a:
lBenny Leonard, Kid Herman. Harr,
Greb and others, and all the boys speal
highly of her cleverness with tn,

The case wen to the jury about 10

verdict Of murder in the first degree,
which carried with It the death pen

gone home the verdict was not rem

1t is not too much to say that the
verdict meets with the hearty ap-
broval OF a very large majority Of
those familiar with the crime. The
crime was a most cowardly one and
the verdict of the jury was a most
fitting sequel. If men will commit such

;,D,: would not have appeared as wit

Some curious facts were elected
from these experts that may be :ntcr.
esting to the readers Of the indie.
pendent. One OF them was that the
capillary ridges OF the ends of the
fingers. the palms o: the hands and
the solcs Of the feet never change
from birth till death. No matter II a
person lives a hundred years these
characteristics remain the same all
through the journey from the cradle 40
the graves. Another interesting fact
was that the possibility Of two per-
ons making the same finger print was
as one to sixty-four thousand millions,
a number beyond the comprehension
Of the human mind. This evidence
was also interesting from the fact
that II was the first time in the his
tory of Nevada that palm prints were
used in the courts of the state.
The state made out a complete Case.
No circumstance vas too trivial to
prove and no door was left open for
the defendant Il escape when the
state rested its case.
The defense set out to prove an
alibi. but failed TO account for at least
55 minutes. Some witnesses had G
Kuhl two hours before the commission
OF the crime and placed him in a card
| game that lasted until II o'clock that
night. Others narrowed this time un-
til but 55 minutes remained unac-
counted for. In these 50 minutes. the
crime was committed.
The instructions OF the court GOV
cred every phase Of the law and were
fair 10 the state and 10 the defend
ant. The arguments OF the attorneys
marShalled the evidence from their
respective viewpoints in n convincing
way. Mr.. Game made an earnest plea

Navy older Than Government.

The United States navy has the dist
tinction of being somewhat older than
the government itself, for nine months
before the actual Declaration of indie
pendence congress authorized the con-
struction Of two national" cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus of a fleet.
Within three months Of its appoint
ment this committee got together il
armed vessels and appointed q person
mel of officers, among whom was the
famous old sea dog, Paul Jones. Dur
ing the val of the revolution the in
FAINT navy captured as many as 500
prizes, but suffered SO heavily that by
the time peace was declared it had al
most ceased to exist. A new start on
a more ambitious scale was made In
1894.
