WILLARD IS LAST OF FAMED
BRIGADE OF WHITE HOPES

With the 'efeat of Jess Willard
there passed into pugilistic oblivion
the last OF the cluster Of American
boxers known as the white hopes -
Ihese heavyweights sprang into ex-
istence as the result of a general de-
mand on the part OF boxing enthusi-
asts for the development Of a white
boxer capable ., OF dcthroning Jack
Johnson. This desire on the part of
devotees of the squared circle was not
due to racial hostility but solely be-
cause the personal conduct OF the
champion had brought boxing into
disrepute
OF all the asnirants for the heavy
weight crown. only two managed to
ret matches with the negro. These
were Frank Moran, who failed. 10

Carl Morris was the original white
hone, and had he obtained a match

rough, foul methods, have made it

faded early in the game
The most promising of All was
Luther McCarty. who. had he lived
might have given Johnson a strong
battle. McCarty was rugged scien :
tific and good hitter. But his chance
went glmmertng because Of his fond
ness for rough riding He performed
number of cowboy stunts a few DAYS
previous to his bou, with Arthur Pei

he received from his opponent re
suited in his collapse and eventual

brings with 1t its trail OF human
sacrifices. For the benefit Of shooters
who are gong after game this fall the
following list Of don't is given:
q DON'T take any chances The
function Of a shotgun is to scatter
shot. but be very careful where you
scatter ii.
DON'T blaze away in haste and
don't get excited. Many a shooter has
filled his favorite dog full of lead just
because he was overanxious.
DON'T point gun at any person in
jest. 1t is always the gun that I'VE
and does the damage. The only time
to point a gun Is when you, intend 20
kill.
DON'T take every rustic Of bush
or bough to be a sure indication OF
game. Remember sometimes an In
quisitive person has penchant for
being in strange places.
DON'T carry a loaded gun through
the street or in cars. trains. automo-
biles or any other kind OF vehicle, or
leave IL around farmhouses to have
some child piayfully blow head of.
DON'T get excited and shoot with

Don't shoot until You see the rabbit,
or whatever II may be, and then be
sure that he IL clear Of both man and

DON'T drag a gun under fence
with the muzzle pointed toward you.
DON'T climb over fences with your
gun or lean 1t against tree until you
get over. Put It through the fence
and on the ground, business end be-
fore. ae.
DON'T hunt with any one that you
know to be careless Caf4lessness

The Smallest Champion.

Australia is the pr oud possessor of
paperweieht champion. the limit OF
the class being los pounds. His name
is Bohbie Gray. and he appears to be
the only title holder of the class in the
world. He won his title by defeating
Dave Wall, a 1o3-pounder. the de-
cision being on foul. low blow
twice repeated. An Australian ex-
pert referring to the paperweight
class. says:
Charlie Lincoln was the first pa
pcrweight champion developed any
where. He arrived as such some
months ago at the Hippodrome. but
declining to continue there renowned
the title and withdrew from the
game"
Lincoln may possibly have been the
first TO claim the paperweight title
but he is not the first man to hold a
title at do5 pounds. Jimmy Barry
who called himself the bantam cham.
pion of America, fought for years at
los pounds, and then running short
of opponents was compelled to ia se
! on men who weighed as much as Ii6
pounds.
