NOT FOR TITLE!
Willard Wont Risk Crown in
Red Cross Bout.
Will Insist on a 10 Round, No
Decision Affair.

Chicago, Dec 20.-Jess Willard will
box for charity. but not for the cham
pionship.
He made that clear today when he
specified that his proposed million
dollar Red Cross bout should be lin
tied to ten rounds. with no decision
and no title at stake.
Jess further declared that the fight
should be held in some big city, pref
erably Chicago, and should be staged
in ball park, because of the large
seating capacity. This would mean
that the match would have to be held
The champ suggested that COM
mittee of five newspaper men select
his opponent.
If the government will raise its en-
barge on the Willard-Johnson fight
movies, Jess said he would waive all
the Red Cross.
Others May Join In.
New York, Dec. Cot is not too
late yet for some other pugihstic
champion to get in on the wave of
popularity that seems to be headed
toward Jess Willard. 1t wouldn't be
at all out of alignment if Mike Glib
nounce he would meet any one as a
semi windup affair to the bigger
heavyweight title match-and donate
his services free.
In the case of Gibbons it would re-
quire his willingness to meet Mike
O'Dowd, the ST. Paul youth who
bumped Al Mccoy off the pedestal.
Gibbons, while recognized as the
best of the middleweights, has never
attained the title of champion. Glib
bons has been earnestly in favor of
the war and has been lending his aid
in instrucung soldiers at Camp Dodge,
Iowa.
Leonard has expressed his patriot
/ ism more than once and it would add
to the attractions of the card if he
and Joe yelling or Johnny Dundee
| should clash as the introduction to
the heavyweight title.
/ Either of these brawls would add
tremendously to the drawing power of
the event and would add thousands
of dollars to the Red Cross fund.

RELIEF TO STOCKMEN
kansans to Receive Benefit of New
Hoover Order.

Kansas stockmen are to receive re-
lief from the federal government un-
der an order from Herbert Hoover
federal food administrator, i'm
medlateiy removing the embargo to
Kansas on cotton seed cake. Hum
dreds of cars of cotton seed cake are
used by Kansas stockmen as feed
during the winter months, and the en-
barge was knockout blow to many
cattle and hog raisers.
In many sections of the state-es-
pecially in the western counties-the
shortage of feed was causing great
concern. Thousands of bushels of
wheat have been fed to cattle and
hogs by Kansas feeders because they
could not secure a supply of corn or
cotton seed cake. The embargo of
December Ia has been raised by the
federal food administrator though, and
shipments to Kansas will go forward
as preferential freight.
A telegram announcing the policy
of the food administration has been
sent to Governor Capper The order
is Immediately effective and will bene-
fit thousands of feeders in Kansas
counties.

ALEXANDER TO BALK?
He May Refuse to Go to Chicago
Without $4,000 Bonus.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 20.-Grover
Cleveland Alexander was on his re-
turn voyage to st. Paul, Nebraska, to-
day, minus the $4,000 ballast he ex
pected to carry away. He wanted that
amount as a bonus in the cash and
player deal that transferred Killifer
and him from the Phillies to the Cubs.
Alex admitted he had been unable
to make Charles Weeghman, presi-
dent of the Cubs, see it from his angle,
but declared he would return to Chi
cago after the holidays for another

successful, he will go on to Philadel-

FEAR OWN GOVT
German Socialists See Danger
in Kaiser's Strength.
Russian Peace a Blow to Hopes
of European Democracy.
BY JOSEPH sHAPLEN.


Stockholm. Dec. 2o.-Germany's In
dependent Socialists are once again up
in arms against the government.
Confirmation of yesterdays press
dispatches that Germany's real So
cialists were violently opposing a sep
arate peace with Russia came today
in receipt of the current issue of the
of the Independent German Socialists
The leading editorial bitterly assails
the separate peace movement as tine
greatest danger yet menacing Ger
many and Euroean democracy"
Demand is voiced that the central
powers Immediately state their terms,
making general negotiations possible.
The Bolsheviki are denounced in the
editorial as traitors to the Russian
revolution
The editorial likewise reveals for
the first time that the German gov
eminent has refused passports to
Stockholm to members of the indie
pendent Socialist party-the party of
Ledebour and Haase.
Soul of Govt Unchanged.
This shows the soul of the German
government is just the same as ever i"
the editorial asserts
1t should open the eyes of the Rus
sian fanatics who are now dealing
with the majority Socialists-and the
majority Socialists are the Iackeys of
the government"
Paul Axelrcd, representative in
Stockholm of the workmen's and SOL
d1ers' general soviet, received Petro-
grad advices today that a pan-Social-
lst congress will appeal to the people
OF Russia for united action against the
Rolsheviki ito save the nation from
ruin by defending the constituent as
sembly.

New York, Dec. 20.-Few follow
ers of the ponies can be found who
would back a six-year-old in stake
events.
A six-year-old runner seldom looks
like a good thing to the boys who
venture their velvet on the races, for
the reason that most of the ponies
have outlived their usefulness as stake
winners when they reach that age.

The Weeks Wash.
The price of food goes up to beat the cars.
1t hovers near the weIl-known planet Mars
necessarily it climbs aloft-and yet
1t cannot touch the price of baseball stars
The game of baseball hovers on the brink;
The war game soon will putt on the blink
And yet the sums they pay for baseball
stars
Would make a millionaire sit up and think.
Perchanee the frequent billion dollaxE loans
Which men have learned to speak IN care
Have made the magnates reckless-for
A deal for less than fifty thousand bones.
And yet, at times, when baseball magnates
And spread their millions on the sporting
We Wonder If the money that they spend
Is like the money spent upon the stage.
When baseball stars are peddled fast and
And bank notes watt like snow across the
1t strikes us that the magnates realize
The value of the art Of strategy
A star like Alexander, who is there
With brains and curves and fast ones,
WIN should he bloom in Philadelphia?
Why waste his stuff upon the desert air
Joe Bush and wa1lie schang and Amos
Why should their scintillating rays be
sunk
In Connie Mack's deserted baseball yard !?
Twere like an all-star cast IN old Podunk-
Old Connie Mack, a crafty gent is he.
Tho not a student of astronomy,
He plucks a star before it stars to shine
And peddles it, and chortles in his glee.
In sport the week is lean in other ways;
Tom Jones has failed to sing Tom Jones's
Fred Fulton hasn't claimed Jess Wizards
crown,
Levinsky hasn't fought in seven days.
