Willard Hun,bly Asks Small
Percentage to Box Conqueror
Big Jess Thinks He Is En-
titled to About One.Sev-
enth of Gate Receipts

Jess willard, former heavyweight
champion Of the world, is content TO
await his turn for chance to regain
tho title that paved the way TO his
fortune. Furthermore, Willard appears
decidedly serious in his plan to re-
enter the prize ring.
The giant cowboy has maintained all
along that he was prompted by mo-
tive Of revenge rather than lured By
the clink Of gold to ask satisfaction
Of the man who stripped him of his
cYown In Toledo. The following, self
explanatory telegram, which Tex Rick
ard received yesterday, best portrays
tbs mental attitude of the colossus;
Lawrence, Ark, Feb. 3.
Tex Rickard, Madison Square Gar
den, New York.
Labor Day suits me. In event bout
Is held in open ] think should be
given privilege of Is per cent Of
gross ard / will post $4,000 in New

ence ard you to post $4,000 to
carry cut contract, I want to know
if al parties mean business as | ex-
pect to continue work and want to
know that I have match with the
champion on Labor Day.
(signed) JESS WILLARD.
Time Changes the Order
When he was champion (and even
hcfore) Willard always was tenpera-
mental, not to say somewhat lazy. he
spent the minimum Of effort only for
the maximum of money. But here he
ls willing to keep III training until
Lebor Day for g crack at the champion
ship, and what is more astonishing
still, modestly to appraise his worth at
IS per cent Of the gate.
No, Rickard isn't good match
maker; he's a Svengali
Though Jack Kearns, manager OF
champion Jack Dempsey, has declared
he would contenance no bout that would
give Willard greater returns than
s27 800, the amount paid Dempsey on
the side for winning the title at Toledo,
Rickard anticipates no trouble from
this quarter. The prom oter is prepared
to satisfy Dempsey's vanity as well as
the cupidity which invariably trails a
champions ship.
Rickard meanwhile is forced to mark
time on the proposed worlds champion
shin heavyweight battle between Demp-
sey and Georges Carpenter. Previous
to the receipt Of the telegram from
Willard, Rickard yesterday cabled
Cochran in London as follows:
"send Brady written power Of
attorney to dispose of your Car
pentier-Dempsey contract"
Open Air Arena Assured
Rickard admitted yesterday that he
proposed to operate throughout the en-
tire year and by the time the indoor
season is ended and the Garden con-
verted into big swimming pool he
hopes to have ready a gigantic open air
arena.
THIS arena, for which plans are being
prepared, will seat at least $4,000 spec
tators. Barring interference against
heavyweight championships it will be
used for both the Carpenter Dempsey
fight and later for the fight between the
winner of this bout and willard In
deed Rickard intends to promote g
series of championships in the open air
in which Lynch, Kilbane, Leonard, Will
son and all the champions will be

Out With kauff for Reg

outheider Lee King, more or les.
doughty veteran, and Pat Shea, a
rookie pitcher, forwarded their signed
contracts to Secretary Joe O'Brien Of

King Is we'll known TO local fandom
ns he has been practically a veteran Of

from tbs Pirates. Before Bennv KaufF,

Kauff has been recalled from To-
ronto, and will be ont for a regular
berth with the Giants again He got
into little trouble here, which was
directly responsible for Benny's trans
fer to Toronto. But the STERN clouds
appear TO have blown over, so that the
little giant may devote his entire at
tsntion to the game.
Center Field Berth Open
There Is no doubt that Kauf's n ZEN
tai attitude affected his work with the
Y.
Previously he had hit we'll against all
sorts of pitching, and, with Burns and
Young. furnished McGraw with one Of
the most formidable outfsld trios of
modern times. King and Kauff will
fight it out with several promising ont
field candidates for that center held
billet. Young and Burns are estab-
lished quantities that can be displaced
only by age or accident.
As to Pat Shea, it remains TO be seen
whether he can vindicste the tudgm ent
scout of note. These all declare him
one of the very brightest pitching
prospects combed out of the Pushes
last year. McGraw gave up mething
like $4,000 for this pitcher, who won
twenty-seven and lost only seven
games with Toronto last year.
If it is true, as claimed, that bat
terry strength is so per cent of the
argument, McGraw should have Some
thing decided to say as to the next
National League pennant He will take

have been seen in his train during
