ALL BOSH," SAYS JONES

Columbus, O.. March 13.-"So far as know Jess Willard won the world s heavy weight championship from Jack Johnson purely on his merits,' declared Tom Jones, former manager of Willard, today, when questioned as to the state ment given by Johnson to the Associ- ated Press.
 T was closer to Willard at that time than any man in the world, and what Johnson says is absolutely the worst kind of bosh. Willard beat Johnson to a fare-ye-well, and squarely and thou sands of people who were at the ring side, including the. highest boxing crit ics in the world, will agree with me that Johnson at no time had a chance with Jess.
 "I believe Jack is in need of money, and is taking this method to gain some publicity for matches that are said to be in view for him in Mexico

Ten Years Xur,&erT
 His Years

Doesn't it make you feel Qood-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: "Well, he didn't make such . bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of weakness-when you notice alack of your old time pep and "punch"- in other words, when you feel your vitality . on the wane, you should com

The use of the forearm in making
the shot Is OF great importance. You
will often hear some one say, Get
ysur wrists into IT," or That player
is fine golfer because he has a
big pair of wrists" As a matter
OF fact. the wrists have little 10 do
with the shot outside Of being a con-
Meeting link between the hands and
the forearm. II is the latter that
produces the power II the swing is
made properly. and when properly
applied the swing looks ridiculously
easy and simple. The player that
bats the ball with his arms alone or
without the wrists gets no distance.
Notice the lower picture with the
wrist turned fiat toward you. Then
look at the one above holding the
club with the narrow side turned
toward you. II you were going 10
strike a powerful blow the chances
are you wouldn't hit with the fiat
side OF your forearm. but would turn
IL so that you could use II the same
way that you use n hammer or an
axe. In chopping wood you hold the
axe in such a position that you get
the most out of the blow.

Cuts Sale Price
1.-THE price OF the draft should have
been lessened," declares Clymer. "By
doing this the Coast league would re.
ceive less money for a player about
TO graduate into the majors. but
could purchase men from class A and
j leagues at half the price they were
/ forced to pay before"
Major leagues when drafting a
Coast league star paid the club own
ers $4,000. Coast league gave 81. 800
as the draft price in getting men
from leagues OF lower classification
than Glass AA. And so on down the
line. Clymer can see no harm in the
draft law and maintains that II the
national commission had reduced the
draft price there would never have
been any friction between the two or

ers will increase in time" says ely.
mer. ''and unless keen students of
baseball are mistaken the resumption
OF the draft law on a cheaper basis
will be re-established."
Majors Get Edge
Owing TO the successful comeback
Of baseball this year. Clyemer thinks
the majors will gobble up all the
likely looking talent In smaller
leagues than class IA.
Major league managers will have
scouting parties all over the coun-
try" says Bill. What chance can
a Coast league scout stand Of getting
a player when the majors are bid
ding for his seryices?"
A few days ago Connie Mack.
