FLOCK OF HEAVYWEIGHTS
NOT AFRAID OF WILLARD

The quick response Jess Willard
received from heavyweights in all
sections of the country answering
his declaration that he would meet
any one at any time and any place
for the benefit of the Red Cross
shows that heavyweights in general
do not fear Jess, big as he is.
The average heavyweight would
take on Willard and be satisfied
with nothing for his end, just to get
the chance at his crown. But box
ing for the Red Cross furnished an
added incentive, and when Willard
paved the way the heavies all took
a jump at the chance and flooded
him with challenges.
