Jess Just Wanted
NelD Cloves, Not
Mix With Jack

Lawrence. Kan. Sept. 27.-A re-
quest by Jess Willard to a friend that
he purchase a pair of boxing gloves
for him while in Kansas City. today
was given the cause by the former
champion for the report that he had
signed a contract to fight Jack Demp
sey six months from now in New York
When questioned about the report,
Willard said:
Fritz Meyn, whom I know. told me
he was going to Kansas City, and
asked him to bring me a pair of box
ing gloves. Ny old ones are worn out
and as 1 always keep in condition. I
wanted some new ones. AS to my
having gone into training and my
having signed a contrast to fight Jack
Dempsey, there's nothing to it."
