VETERAN NOW
looming BACK"
Samuel Hardy, Tennis Star
of Years Ago, to meet Best
Court Stars in Chicago.

Chicago, July 12.-Samuel Hardy
has come back. The tennis star Of
years ago. who was thought to be
either dead or puttering about in eld-
erly ~gentlemen's matches, handicap
ped by a paunchy abdomen and oc-
c%astonal twinges of rheumatism, has
returned to Chicago and will meet the
best court stars the Windy City has to
stack against him.
Back in 1892 to 1895 Sam Hardy
was a champion Of the Pacific coast,
and was taking on all corners. Those
were the days in California when
Maurice Mclaughlin was a black
headed shaver with his first racket.
1t was in 1900, seventeen years ago,
that Hardy laid aside his tennis racket
n dropped out of tournament play.
He went to England and took up the
real estate business in London. With
the outbreak of the war came the
breaking of real estate in England,
and this year Hardy returned to
America.
In London he had kept up his ten
mis- by watching tournaments and .oc-
casionally getting n a set of,doubles
himself, but that was as far as his eff
forts went,
This year Hardy was "r~esurrected."
He proceeded to electrify the tennis
public, with the aid of Harry VALID
ner, a veteran of twenty years of Chi
cage tennis, defeating Hayes and Bur-
dick, the city's best and ranked ma
tionally eighth in doubles in the finals
of the Chicago Tennis clubs patriotic
tournament two weeks ago.
Wins Another Championship.
Seeking new fields to conquer, Har-
dy last week won the Western Penn
sylvania championship at Pittsburgh,
taking the singles and carrying away
the doubles coupled with Siverd. In
the semi-final round Of the singles
Hardy met Chuck" Garland of Pitts
burgh. ranked in the East with the
best, and defeated Garland in straight
sets, ga, 1913. He had no trouble
with S%palding in the finals, So, SO,
60.
Hardy is entered in the state tour
ney and going strong. He has a diff
cult card ahead of him, but expects
to come through well. Hardy is not
an old man, and looks unusually
young. about 80, slim and why. AS
all other men who have been abroad
lately, he has some definite idea re-
garding the war. His opinion is that
1t will last from five to ten a long
er. It might be added that he is not
deeply optimistic.

WILLARD HAS
REAL TIN in
MANY BANKS
Worth Between $500, 900 and
100000, Says Tom Jones,
Willard's Pilot to Victory

Chicago, July 12.-Jess Willard.
champion heavyweight pugilist, is
worth between 100000 and 100000
Of which amount $420,0 900 is in cash
deposited in various banks through
out the. country. One Chicago loo
bank has an account Of $50, 900. An
other has 100000, and there Is a third
checking account in a neighborhood
bank near where Jess lives. All this
money was earned or accumulated, !,
you choose, since Willard defeated
Jack Johnson at Havana in twenty
six rounds on April s, 1915.
These figures are furnished by Tom
Jones. Tom v know, piloted Willard
to the championship and was short
circuited 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. Jones arrived in Chicago on
Sunday. having motored from Buffalo,
where the heart rending separation
occurred.
After casting a balance following
the acquisition of the title in 1915,
Willard was $10.175 in debt, accord
had been incurred inItraining due to
the postponement and transfer of the
bout from Juarez when Johnson
showed a disclination to go so e
the United States, where he is a fugi-
tive from justice. Since that time
Wizards ring and circus earnings
have been tremendous. His take
on the circus percentage has gone
over $1,000 in one week, according to
Cherokee Tom.
Aside from Wizards cash he has

publicity about their intended enlist

When the United States first enter

to answer, the call to the colors. He
went so far as to intimate later that
he would have enlisted but that the
army would not accept him on ac-

cruiting officers denied this and Jess
became strangely silent.
Benny Leonard. the new lightweight
champion, made a public statement
that he would enlist just as soon as
he had won the title from Freddie
Welsh. He, too, failed to enlist and a
couple of weeks later went to Wash
'ington and gave out an interview that
he had gone to the navy departing emit
to make arrangements for enlisting.
Leonard has not yet enlisted.
