WILLARD FIGHT A FRAME
 SAYS RO GAP

TOLEDO, July 7-Jess Willard left today with his wife and two friends by automobile for his home, in Law renee, Kans., and permanent retire. ment from the ring.
 The task of checking up the gate re- ceipts and attendance of the Indepen- dence day battle proved so stupendous that promoter Rickard announced to- night that the official accounting would not be completed until tomor- row. Rickard, however, estimated the receipts would not exceed s500,OOO.
 Allegations made by William G. Recap, a sporting writer of Philadel. phia; that there was collusion be. tween Willard and Rickard in pro. noting the championship match were investigated today by the Toledo Boxing commission. The commission gave Rickard a vote of confidence and invited Recap to present any evi- dence he may have.
 The commission. of which Mayor Schreiber, c. IF. Wall. director of pub lie safety, are members adopted a res olution declaring it had been unable to find any evidence of collusion. that the contest was conducted squarely and honorably and that Roe cap be notified to present all proofs. If he has any, to the commission within a week. or forever hold his peace"

200 Vessels of All Sizes For
 Pacific Fleet

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-The coming of the Pacific fleet is hailed with pleasure throughout the coast as the hamburger of many changes, economic and otherwise. The deci- sion of the United States navy de pertinent to maintain two equal fleets means that approximately 200 veeesls of all sizes will compose the Pacific fleet, with a personnel of 25.OO0 men.
 While no accurate figures are ob- tainable, it is pointed out that the money spent at Pacific ports for the maintenance of these ships and men will amount to millions a week. and the resultant return to the various in- dustries which will contribute to this maintenance will be no inconsider- able sum. Scarcely any kind of selling concern will be overlooked. from the coal yard to the fruiter.
 Further than this, thousands of sailors will be on liberty practically at all times. while the ships are in port, and this means that the small shop keepers will participate in the thousands of dollars spent in neces- sities, as we'll as in the many little luxuries which are the delight of the sailor.
 Aside from the personnal of the navy, many of the families of both of ficers and men undoubtedly will move to the Pacific coast so as to be near their sons, husbands and fathers and this means the addition of many more persons who will have to be catered to.
