ST. Louis VIII Be Replaced by New
York A. A. U.
NEW YORK, June 1O.-According
to word from St. Louis yesterday.
there Is little chance OF the A. A U.
national outdoor championships be-
ing held this year at the Missouri
capital. So far those who were relied
upon to boom the big meet have not
made q single move in the direction.
The meet was to be held on the
scene OF the American Olympic games
OF 1904, a track which was then voted
10 be the fastest in the world. The
National A. A. u. meets OF 1891 and
1904 were held in st. Louis for the
purpose Of arousing interest in track
and field sports, but the plan proved
futile. as athletics never hourished
in that section. The meet was award
ed this year with the same idea, but
II evidently is doomed.
Some time ago Secretary Fred w.
Ruben wrote the st. Louis people,
but as yet has received no reply. 1t
is understood II a favorable answer
is not forthcoming within the next
few weeks, plans will be formulated
to hold the meet in this city.

WILLARD MAY QUIT

NEW YORK. June 1o.-Jess Will

may quit the circus next Saturday
night II he does, Carl Morris, the
Oklahoma giant, will succeed him.
Willard's contract holds good until
October when the Buffalo Bill Wild
West Show goes into winter quarters,
but It Is rumored in theatrical circles
here that considerable friction has
arisen between Manager Arlington. OF
the circus, and Manager Tom Jones
and his heavyweight titleholder.
Wordy warfare has broken out be-
tweeI, both sides and the latest rurnor
has Willard separating himself from
that soft job on June 16, acting upon
a suggestion OF Manager Arlington.

Willard appears in the concert
program following the main show
and, though being paid q colossal sum,
has had little to do. Riding a horse
to prove he was once a cowboy in
Kansas, shadow boxing and sparring

Monahan complete the daily work of
the champion.
Manager Arlington is said to have
reached an understanding with the
champion and his mentor, Tom Jones.

il picked to be willard's successor
and, IL he joins the show, the bally-
hoo boys will bill him as the chal-
lenEer Of Willard, thus working up as
much enthusiasm as willard ever did.
With willard at leisure to go into
training and Morris touring the coun-
try as HIS advertised challenger,
shrewd boxing promoters believe that
they will meet in the squared circle
before the snow flies.
