IT PAYS TO BE A
 WORLDS CHAMPION
Jess Willard is Worth Over Half a
 Million.

Jess Willard. champion heavyweight pugilist, is worth between $500. 900 and $500, o,0O0 of which amount $40, 900 is in cash deposited in various banks throughout the country. One Chicago loop bank has an account of s90. 900. Another has s60,000, and there is third checking account in a neighbor- hood bank near where Jess lives. All this money was earned or accumulated if you choose, since Willard defeated Jack Johnson at Havana in 26 rounds on April 5. 1915.
 These figures were furnished by Tom Jones, who piloted Willard to the cham pionShip and who turned down recently when the champion bought the circus with which he had been exhibiting and decided he did not need a partner for his financial joys and sorrows - principally joys any longer.
 After casting a balance following the acquisition of the title in 1915 Willard was s10,175 in debt according to Jones. Heavy expenditures had been incurred in training due to the postponement and transfer of the bout

Theological Student Famed v Bats
 men in 34 Innings.

Missouri has a theological student who breaches in a Baptist church pull pit on Sundays and exasperates the baseball fans on the other days of the week because he will not consent to give up theology for professional baseball.
 A. C. Mckinney is the name of this person who seems so peculiarly con- stituted in the eyes of baseball enthu- siaSts. He loves baseball plays it whenever he has an opportunity and pitches for the team of the William Jewell college. which is located at Liberty, Mo. Pitching for his team in four games. he struck out seventy seven batsmen in thirty four innings, allowed but three hits in the quartet of games and in two of them pitched mo- hit, no-run games. In a game against the Targio College team-another Mis- souri college-he struck out twenty five of the players in a no-hit game and against the Maryville (Mo) State Normal School team. another of his no-hit games, struck out twenty three

OU1MET WINS WESTER
Many Brilliant Plays Mixed With
 Western Golf.

Francis Ouimet of Boston. formerly national amateur and open golf cham pion Saturday won the Western anna teur championship by defeating Ken meth P. Edwards of Chicago, one up in thirty-five holes at Midlothian after two rather poor rounds in which er- ra tic golf was interspersed with bril- liant approaches alternated with miser able butts. Both players shared In the changeable golf and their medal SCOT CT were:
 Ouimet ........37 fl 3s 4o-157 Edwards .....41 38 39 39-157
 The victory was popular with the large gallery. Ouimet's appearance as an amateur in the only amateur cham pionship of consequence of the year, by invitation Of the Western Golf As sociation, has met with approval among Western followers of the game. With John G. Anderson. of New York, Jesse Guilford, Massachusetts, cham pion; Jack May, Argentina champion. and four one-t time Western champions entered. the field was all but equal to most of the past national amateur tournaments. In the championship matches all the play has been close to par 72 for the 6,503-yard course.
 Edwards had played better golf dur ing the week than Ouimet, but Satur- day he appeared to be overgolfed and could not sink fairly simple butts. Oui- met was wild with his wooden clubs, pulling to the rough frequently. Once the Bostonian went into a creek in trying to hook around a clump of trees after a pulled drive He halved that hole, however, as Edwards reQuir- ed three butts.
 This inclination to a multiplicity of butts caused Edwards to take 22 of these on the first nine holes, although his long game called for not more than 15- With proper putting the Chica- goian. could have served a 34 and been or 3 up instead of 4 down at the end of the first quarter.
 Ouimet had more distance than the runner-up, but this wildness caused him to be on the defensive at many holes. Edwards was straight down the course nearly all the time, but he faltered fatally once, hooking his ap breaches so close to a hedge on the thirty third hole that he had to play back towards the gallery to get out, tosing the hole in to ,, after Oui- met har tasted the rough himself
 Ouimet was more than par on ten holes and had only one hole better than par. Edwards was more than par on twelve holes, with three bird ieS."
 Owing to objection by several playe- rs to the new rule abolishing stymies, in that it required the playing of the nearer ball first when both balls were on the green, the board of directors changed the rule to allow the playing of the further ball first except when q Stynie existed. In that case the near CT ball had to be played or lifted
 The amended rule was put into effect for the final, as both Edwards and Ouimet were agreeable.

BULK OF SOCIALIST PARTY
PRO-GERMAN, SAYS RUSSELL

WASHINGTON. Aug. 11-Aroused
by the pacifist meeting on Thursday in
the Capitol, Charles Edward Russell.
former Socialist and now member OF
the returned commission TO Russia,
denounced all persons yesterday pro-
posing peace at this time or failing
in unswerving support Of the Admin
istration.
Mr. Russell WAS particularly severe
In his criticism OF Socialists and
members OF Congress aiding the
peace propaganda. Incidentally, he
declared. as a result OF peace activ-
tiles in the United States, Socialists
have absolutely ruined their party,
which, be said, now consists OF little
more than an alien pro-German ele-
ment. The men who we're in It for
such uplift as they could bring 10 the
working people, he said. must seek
elsewhere for political afillation.
"One peace resolution offered IN
the United States Congress today Is
a greater asset to the Kaiser than a
thousand men on the firing line,' he
said.
The colonial situation alone is suf-
ficient at this time 10 prevent peace,
Mr.. Russell declared. England has
promised Australia and New Zealand
that Germany will be driven from
the Pacific, he said. and Germany
cannot afford to make peace until
she Is assured that some OF her col
onies VIII be returned.
