WILLARD KNOCKS
OUT M0NAHAN
First Workout of Champion
Proves Hard on Partner.

TOLEDO, o., June 5.-Walter Mona
nan. chief sparring partner for Jess
Willard. is nursing "a lumpy Jaw TO-DAY
as a result of the punching he received
In his first workout with the champion
yesterday. willard caught him on the
chin with a right-hand blow that did
not travel more thar six inches and
Mnnalan crumpled to the canvas, COM
pletely knocked tut.
Willard plans TO Increase his road
work daily until he reaches the five
mile mark. He is scheduled TO take a
run Of four miles this morning, and
then box four rounds and do his other
usual exercises at his Maumee bay
camp his afternoon.
Jack kearns, manager Of Jack Demp-
sey, who is TO face Willard in a 10
round championship contest here July
4, doubts the favorable Eeports of the
appearance of Willard in his workouts.
kearns contends that it makes no diff
ference how good Willard Is going to
be on Independence day, as he believes
Willard never has or never will see the
day that he could defeat Dempsey.
willard may look all right on the
outside, but on the inside things may
be different" Kearns said. IF he Is
only 81 years old. as he claims, he is
IL years older than Dempsey, which
will make considerable difference. !

long under the punishment Dempsey is
bound TO hand him from the start.
Dempsey hits hard with both hands,
and every time he lands there Is a
sting in his punch.
Wizards waist line has disappeared
because he Is on a light diet, which
Is not conducive to strength. Dempsey
is eating and drinking everything he
wants, and. in my opinion, has a big
edge on the champion in that regard"

EXPRESS SERVICE DRIVE
is GARNERlNG RESULTS

As the result of the second educa-
ttonal campaign, Launched by the bet
ter service campaign committee OF the
American Railway Express mpan
which Is to end June 10, a marked i'm
provement has been evidenced in the
service, according to J. p, Stewart, local
agent in charge Of the drive. Less mo
mark" packages have been turned over
to the mo mark" bureau during the
past month than mas been the case In
many months and the total In this
class has been reduced from an aver
age ot'26, 800 to 7,642 listed for April.
Better packing of packages, better
and more legible addressing and less
claims for lost packages have resulted
from the campaign, A more thorough
understanding of the rules and regula-
TONS governing shipping, both on he
part OF the shipper ana the employees
OF the express company, also has ro.
suited.
The local drive, which is only one of
many similar drives being held through
out the country, will come to a close

A MIXED Bout"
WI

hsh3
During the greater part of the last
era Of legalized boxing in the state of
New York, the commission which had
charge of the game prohibited mixed
bouts" or contests between white and
black men.
There never was any real good rea-
son for this prohibition. 1t had no
basis OF logic, or justice, 1t was mere
" an echo Of disfavor supposed to have
been brought upon black boxers gem
orally by Jack Johnson when he was
heavyweight champion of the world, 1t
was mainly a lot of bunk"
An instinctively crafty, cunning ring
man-one of the greatest defensive
fighters we have had-and natively
shrewd in many ways, Johnson was IL
l~iterate and had the mind of n child.
Suddenly lifted to considerable fame,
and no little fortune, Jack was scarcely
equal to the task of COMFORTING himself
with that ease and decorum demanded
of our public characters.
He was one Of the funniest and most
entertaining chaps | have ever known.
He was good natured and big hearted,
and he loved to live and laugh, and
eat, and play. But his private life was
a scandal to cats, There is no getting
away from that. An aroma like unite
the perfume of an aged b%arnyard sur
rounded the heavyweight championship
while 1t was in the possession of the
big black man from Galveston, Tex,
Now Jack was, privately, not exactly
impeccahle ever before he became the
recognized champion, but that fact
seems to have been forgotten by a LOT
Of folks while they were raging at
Tommy Burns for not giving Jack a
crack at the championship; or at least
at such title and equity as Tommy
was when Jack began wearing tn,
heavyweight crow aslant his low, re-
ceding brow that these same folks tool
to lifting their hands In horror ovet
his conduct.
And wen they might; well they
might

BALK RULE NOT
BEING ENFORCED
National Umpires Are Falling
Down on Instructions.

Are National league umpIres enforc-
ing strictly the balk rule. as they were
instructed to do by President Heydler?
asks William Peet, writing in the Pitts
burgs Dispatch.
Most assuredly not, according to per-
sonal observations. Take a game here
against the Cubs. Claude Hendrix on
several occasions made a motion to
pitch to the batter and then whiried
around and slammed the ball to first
base, a fragrant violation. Yet Pete
Harrison. the umpire behind the plate,
who Is supposed to watch such matters,
let Hendrix get away with this stuff.
There are umpires in the National
league who probably are and who most
assurediy will enforce the balk rule,
but Pittsburgh has not seen them yet,

BEAUTlFYING HOSPITALS.

The protest of a we'll known arch;-
tect against the prevailing ugliness Of
hospitals is We'll made. There is no
class Of public buildings where as a
rule so little is done to beautify. This
is probably for two reasons First
sanitation, which is the god Of the hos
pital, demands fiat, plain surfaces
which can be easily cleansed; second
a lack Of funds for anything but the
utmost simplicity if the essentials 10
hospital service are not to be omitted
But it is undoubtedly true that
pleasant things to look at contribute
toward speedy recovery The home
sickness bred Of long staring at I'M
decorated walls often postpones the
departure from them
When we have learned fully to I'M
derstand the mission of the hospital
We shall combine sanitary severity
and beauty. The great artist who
painted stirring war posters will
paint a frieze of lovely fairy figures,
Of butterflies and birds on the walls
of the children's hospital. For the
older patients there will be restful
landscapes, symbolic groups. or those
depicting stirring action. All this will
go on just as walls are done in pri-
vate homes in washable paints, so
that cleanliness may still be observed.
The time will come wnen every sick
person will go to hospital just as
naturally as any traveller takes train,
and this will do more to prevent the
spread of disease than any other one
thing But the time will come much
faster when the hospital is made at
tractive, when it breathes more of the
hospitality which its name suggests
and less of the Jail of which Ats ap-
pearance is too often reminiscent.

WOODS AND WATER.

The spread OF forestry knowledge
has made the general public familiar
with the value of forest preservation.
Nearly everybody knows that woods,
besides providing a timber supply,
serve as sponges to catch and hold
moisture, thereby helping to provide
uniform water supply the year
round. But this fact is generally
thought of only on a big scale, as ap-
plying to large areas. The individual
farmer or other property owner sci
dom tries to adapt the principle TO
the use of his own family.
The department of agriculture, in
one OF its farmers bulletins, points
out that almost any wood lot, even
small one, may be made serviceable
in this way. Nearly everyone has OBJ
