FIGHT INSURANCE
/ OF S150,000 SOUGHT
OF LL0YD'S, LONDON
Rickard Wants $4,000 Placed
on Principals and Himself
as Accident Protection.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Appications for
insurance policies of $4,000 each for
Jess Willard. worlds champion heavy
weight pugilist. Jack Dempsey, chal-
lenger for the title. and Tex Rickard
promoter of the bout for next July 4
are under consideration by Lloyds in
London, it was learned today Rickard
will pay the premium on the total of
$IO.OO of accident insurance to safe
guard himself against possible financial
loss
The insurance / want is simply to
protect me against any accident that
might happen to prevent Willard or
Dempsey from fighting" Rickard was
quoted as saying
The applications were signed by Rick
ard and one of Lloyds' agents in New
York and forwarded to London. A local
agent for lloyds said he had every rea-
son to believe the insurance would be
placed. The policies in the case of Will
lard and Dempsey would run from March
] until after July 4. and for Richard the
policy would be for one year.

course. l was watching too. after the
discussion l had heard Of the contcm-
plated play.
Donshuc apparently was wise to it
because he played his string out care
fully and, by fouling off couple OF
strikes. got the count to three balls and
two strikes. When the pitcher wound
up for the next one, George Davis. who
was on third, started madly for the plate
as if trying to steal it.
The ruse worked perfectly. for the
pitcher fired the bali low and outside
just right for the catcher to tag out the
runner. 1t was a fourth ball. and would
have forced Davis home all right but
Donahue reached for it. missed it. and
struck out. retiring the side.
The Browns won the game in extra
innings. and DOnahue's alibi was that he
thought it was squeeze play Davis was
pulling. .Jiggs actually did not know
how many men were out and had for
gotten the play entirely.
Jones was SO furious he ordered Dona
hue to stay on the bench the rest of the
season when he was not at bat or in the
field and that was the origin of the
coolness between Jones and the first
baseman who starred so brilliantly in the
world series of 1906.
II you remember your baseball gcog
raphy, you can recall that in 1908 the
White Sox were beaten out of the ZEN
nant on the last day of the schedue by
Detroit, and that April game in ST.
Louis, which that inside play would have
won. would have meant a cham pionshiD

He recommends that a reservoir be
constructed on the rim rock north of the

with the one now used as a water supply
so that in low water there would be a
constant supply for the pumping plant.
It is also proposed TO change the channel
of the Musselshell to obviate the danger
to the pumping plant during high water.
The suit by the owners of corner lots
