Jess Willard Expected
 In Toledo Today; Waller
 MOnahall Ready For Job

thing ready for his arrival here. The training camp has been selected and with official announcement of the se- lection of Walter Monohan as trainer it looks very much as if the cham pion, although a week or so tardy in reporting to Tex Rickard on the scene of battle, will be fully prepar- ed for a busy and strenuous cam paign, although 1t is the opinion of those who have seen him that he is in good shape now.
 The Casino, where Willard will train, is only about four hundred yards from the north side of the arena inwhich the championship will be staged, and not more than a half mile from the Overland Club, where Dempsey is living. The building is large, having been used for several years as a road house famous for it's chicken and frog leg dinners. The lessee, J. Lehnertz, invited Willard to use the place some time ago. The Casino is the home of the Toledo Gun Club, of which Willard has been q member for two or three years, and like Dempsey's camp is located upon Maumee Bay. Willard will live in q cottage in the vicinity of the Casino.
 Some of the anti-fight propagan- dists have been spreading stories here that Dempsey and Willard meet upon the road some morning when doing their work, and that a rough and tumble fight will follow If they do. Only the people who oppose the bout here, and their number is gradually growing smaller, take any stock in such stories.
 Archer said today that he would have several rugged sparring partners for Willard, in addition to Jack Hemp le, who has been with him in Cali fornia. Kid Mccoy Is reported to be engaged to act as Willard's chief ad- wiser, and 1t is said that Tim Me Grath, former pal of Tom Sharkey and the man who led Jack Munroe around the country when he was be- ing groomed to meet Jim Jeffries for the title, would come along to help condition the champion.
 Jack Dempsey's handlers put him through a strenuous day, yesterday with seven sizzling rounds of boxing as the windup. The work took place in the morning and all told Dempsey staged about nineteen rounds of three minutes each, including shadow box ing and the other routine stunts.
 Incidentally, Dempsey, is shy one sparring partner. One Round Davis of Buffalo took a violent dislike to the surroundings at the Overland club and served notice that the first eastbound train looked better to him.
 Davis's decision was arrived at after he had been knocked toward the last house on Queer street by Dempsey, not once, but twice. Jimmy De Forest sent Bill Tate, Davis and Terry Keller against Dempsey turn about. and the one rounder was al- most bumped off the first time out He saw the flower dotted fields from a loaded punch>to to the jaw, and after restoratives had been applied said he was ready for his second turn. He ran into another kayo punch and Dempsey was forced to let up on him.

Fails to Send Along Gus tomary Data to State Sec retary-Bridgeport Citys Will Meet Winchesters- Holiday Soccer News.

The Thistle team of this city will not have to travel to South Man chester tomorrow afternoon to play their semi-hnal tie of the Spring Cup Competition as the Manchester team has been disqualified from the com petition owing to their refusal to send to the secretary of the State association the guarantee fee re- Quired by the laws of the association.
 All other teams that entered the competition abided by the laws but the Manchesters took the law into their own hands and absolutely re- fused and the Cup committee of the State association had no option but to enforce the ruling. This will cause the Thistle team to qualify for the final round of the competition and will play the winner of tomor- rows game between the Bridgeport City and Winchester game at the Meadows.
 The action of the Manchester team is regrettable as the team has all ways been one to fulfull their en- agreements but the State association are determined to be firm in the mat ter, hence the elimination of the Manchester team. This will now cause the season to be terminated one week earlier than requested for after tomorrow's game it will only require two Sundays to finish the season.
 Tomorrow afternoon -he Brldge- port City and Winchester teams will play their second game of the semi final round of the Spring Cup Compe- tition at the Meadows. The teams met on Sunday last when the City team won the game by the score of ir will a Q the field tomorrow afternoon with one goal lead.
 Last week the fans of the City team did not see the team at full strength as the three Holyoke players were unable to make the trip but will be on hand this week for certain as the local team will have to be at full strength to beat the Winchester boys who have come along fine of late.
 Manager Murray of the Winchester team states that he will have his strongest team in the field for this game and will be far stronger than last week when only a poor team showed up and was minus Hampton Eyles, Degney and Ford. With these players in the lineup it will want the strongest possible team of the locals to beat them.
 The international soccer champion ship of Connecticut is still undecided as the game yesterday afternoon at the Meadows ended in a tie game as both sides scored one goal. Whether the game will be replayed is not known at the present, but owing to the lateness of the season it is not expected to be replayed again. Yes terday's game. was a replayed tie as .he teams played a 2-2 game couple of weeks ago.
 Considering the fact that it was a holiday it was surprising to find so many players on hand who were se- lected to play as only a few absentees were noted. and these were due to sickness.
 The Scotchmen started the game with dash and were very unfortu- nate in the first minute in not scoring as Dickson sent in a long shot tha. just missed the goal. After this the Engbshmen started to attack and forced three corners in quick success

IT AXE 1t from Walter Monahan former trainer of Jack Johnson and more lately trainer for Jess Wil- lard. the present champion will have no trouble at all beating Jack Demp- sev. Walter arrived from France. where he fought with Uncle Sam's boys and for his bravery was made sergeant.
 Monahan has been reappointed trainer of the champion and will join his camp at once. Walter is a bigger man than Dempscy-and considera- ply stronger. But Jess has been known to treat this husky sparrins partner as though he were a mere child. This Walter has to admit him self. To listen attentively to Mona han one is given the impression that Jack Dempsey was made to order for Willard to defeat decisively.
 But perhaps a word or two from Walter himself will help to clear matters. so let Ter go:
 Jack Dempsey was just made for Jess Willard. You know Jess has a tanta1izing way of making them come to him. Let Dempsey tear in with his head down, with a view of put ting Willard away by a series of body punches, and he will find himself on HIS DaCk Idhlt6 lht COuDt. Anu "lAtIi they get 1t coming in the force of the blow is doubled: 1t is a compact, too. It is 254 pounds meeting 190, and something is sure to drop.
 "It does not matter how Dempsey fights Willard; the result is sure 10 be the same. The big fellow has a straight left, and he knows how to use 1t in an unerring fashion. He is perhaps the only heavyweight who has ever graced the ring who can drop a 200-pound man with a straight left. If Dempsey runs against that straight left and 1t cops him on the chin the bout will be over, whether 1t be the first round or the twelfth.
 Now, don't let anyone delude you with the idea thas Willard is hog fat. He knovg the comfort of good piIy- sical condition. He has a superb foundation to build on. It does not take hin, long to seti fighting shape. All he needs is q cushion of muscles across his stomach and his wind. 90 that he can travel at top speed for 12 rounds. I know he can accomplish that.
 The last time we boxed in Texas 1t was at a war charity carnival. The oil men and cattle men wanted to see a real fight. We went at 1t hard. I was in splendid condition. being vir- tually trained to the minute. Will lard began to touch me up hard, and returned the compliment. The crowd, including the timekeepers. became so excited that the latter for got to pull the bell and the first round lasted five minutes. We boxed three additional rounds. United States army rules. and Willard was fresh at the Snish.
 "Yes, Jess Willard can get in chape and he will beat Jack Dempsey. The protege of Jack Kcarns was just made for the worlds heavyweight cham pion."
 HE COULD not help but smile the " othor day as we listened to two supposedly "wise jays" try to answer the question: Why was Toledo se- lected as the scene for the big heavy weight championship bout?

Billy Kelly Proves Himself to He One of Seasons Finds.
 MOnahan HonOred.

ID LILLY Kelly upheld his reputation U as one of the best horses that ever raced on the American turf. Bel mont Park racegoers got their first peep at this renowned son of Dick Wells and the showing he made was entirely satisfactory. And the eeld- ing made good for he, true to the predictions of those who had seen him in action, captured the historic Toboggan Handicap, a stake at SIX furlonRs. first run at Morris Park something like 90 years ago.
 It was a splendid race that Billy Kelly ran. He won under most dls- couraging circumstances for he was asked to give away weight by the scale to some of the best sprinters in training. These included Lucul- lite Purchase, Hollister, War Cloud and Abadane.
 Billy Kelly, by winning yesterday, endeared himself even more than ever before in the hearts of horse men, for there is nothing these sports like more than a good, game horse and the son of Dick Wells is all of that and more. Last year Billy Kelly attracted attention by beating all of the best juveniles and, although he had to bow to Eternal in a match
 
 Maryland, he retained his champion ship.
 Then he went West where he again showed satisfactorily. When the Saratoga meeting opened last season he was found among the best per formers uncovered at that course. There he took stake after stake. His record at Saratoga is short of re- rnarl<able. He literally took every thing that came his way.
 Nevertheless, he wound up the 1918 season with a record that blazed with spectacular, hair-raising and well de- served victories. He went South and this Spring we heard of him at the Maryland meetings. He started there several times and each time he won. It was not until the famous classic the Kentucky Derby, that he tasted defeat and then it was only because of the wonderful garneness and stamina of his stable mate, Sir Barton.

LonOOn promoter, put TOT some un- known reason, Cur1ey claims, Bogash ordered the match be cancelled.
 The cancellation of that match forced the New London promoters to shift the date of. the next show there. to June fl. Today Matchmaker Abe, the Newsboy, matched Paul Doyle of New York with Phil Bloom of Brook lyn. This should be very interesting battle as the two are evenly matched.
 The selection of Walter Monahan former trainer of Jack Johnson and several other heavyweight champions and who trained Jess Willard for his bout with the colored giant at Ha- vana, Cuba, as trainer for the present monarch was well received in all quarters. Particularly pleased seem to be the promoters of the July Setto.
 Larry Williams, the local light heavyweight who showed so well against Kid Norfolk here last week, has returned to town from a three day stay In Philadelphia where he renewed old acquaintances. Williams will get into action at once and train for several matches to be staged at out of town clubs.
 Frankie Fleming, the former Mon trea1 featherweight, is now handler of boxers and promoter in Canada. Frankie is spending a few days in Canada and will sign up a few boxers whom he is anxious to show at sev- era1 of his future shows. Frankie is also manager of Gene Brosseau, the Canadian champion

most perplexing one until we explored the town. And now we personally believe that Toledo is one of the Hveliest and busiest cities in the country. But 1t was not either of these facts that prompted Tex Rick ard to select that city.
 Toledo was selected because there the boxing game had been placed on a par with the so-called select sports. In the Ohio city boxing is considered as much of a science as golfing. There 1t has not been thrown to the mercy of interruptions promoters On the contrary its sporting men have organ ized with the result that today one can point to no town where boxing is being conducted any better and is any more popular than it is in Toledo.
 The sport is controlle dby a com mission - Mayor Cornell Schreiber, member ex-officio; Christopher F.. Well, chairman; Dewitt Fisher, sec- retary; Andrew Jankowski. Cornelius J. Callahan, Harry Winter, Walter G. Watson, Frank E. LcVoy and Henry Kling-that knows it's business. The members receive no salary. They have at their disposal the services of an experienced promoter, who is also unsalaried The commission selects all the officials and fixes the dates for bouts. etc.
 According to a printed statistical report that the writer secured while in Toledo last week, the net share of the commission from shows, together with voluntary contributions from fans and collections taken at the ringside amounted to something like $S.300, All but a couple of hundred dollars of that sum went to charity. The state or city got not a nickel, for the commission, while the ruling body, is neither a state nor municipal organization-simply a group of rep resentative men selected by true lovers of boxers.

Origin of Word miniature"

The origin of the "mniature" Is as
follows; In the golden days of Roman
literature, to be successful author
was to he AS great MS king, for kings
locked to their poets for immortality,
MS Augustus Caesar did to Horace.
Hence 1t was to be expected that au
tEors would feel their Importance and
display more or less vanity. One Of
their weaknesses was to see their pOr-
trait painted in artistic fashion in
their parchment books. This work was
ibtrusted to artists called "miniatores,"
that is, artists whose work was large
ly done in vermilion, a color extracted
from cinnabar, and called by the Ro-
mans minimum" The "mlniatores"
chose the oval form for their beautiful
brilliant portraits on the parchment
books, and hence the origin of the term
