Jess Carrying Weight.

VYYHILE he was in Tulsa, Jess
" was asked II he expected
w to fgnt again, and he said
that the only match he would
consider would be q return en-.
gagement with Dempsey.
Tex Rickard had Willard's
agreement to box Dempsey at
Madison Square Garden some time
ago, but the match failed to
Smoke up" Then, too, the New
York State Athletic Commission
put up an age limit which, It Is
believed, would bar Jess.
However, the match would un-
doubtsdly have drawn elsewhere.
There are many persons who still
believe that Willard was beaten
by Dempsey at Toledo largely
through an accident, and that the
big fellow would have had a bet
ter chance in q second match.
But Willard's continued idleness
and the fact that he will not try
himself out before meeting Demp-
sey have given even his admirers
the impression that II he fights
again It will be only for . losers
end.
The Tulsa reports say Jess
looks in fair condition except that
he Is carrying considerable weight.
In the very pink" the Pottawat-
omie puncher was no light and
airy subject.

Has Most Votes.

"OM GIBBONS ranks second to
Harry Wills in the voting a.
the contender for the heavy.
weight championship. It remains
to be seen how Gibbons showing
against Greb will affect the bal
loting.
Bill Brennan, Bob Martin, Bill
Tate. Jack johnson. Billy Miske,
Carl Morris, Georges Carpenter,
Jess Willard, Harry Greb, Fred
Fulton, BARLEY Madden, Bill
Roper, Bill Steele and Ralph
Smith are ranked in the order
stated. We are not acquainted
with Messrs. Steele and Smith. but
they have polled two hundred and
one hundred votes, respectively.
Among the lightwei9hts Lew
Tender is first and Charley White
second. Benny Leonard leads as
the contender for Jack Britton's
crown. which Is perhaps a true re-
Election Of the ability Of the divi-
sion If Leonard cares to enter it.
Dave Shade. who held Britton
to a fifteenround draw, is sew
enth, but we see no mention Of
Frankie Schoell. Of Buffalo. who
recently won a decision over
Shade. We have never seen
Schoell in action, but he must be
pretty good to beat Leo Flynn's
boy.

Has Fortune IN Sight.

~ JESS WILLARD, the Pot
II tawatomie Founder, bobbed
~ up in Tulsa, Okla, the other
day to look after his oil interests.
It has been rumored ut various
times within the past couple If
years that Jess 10 broke, or at
least that he has no ready money.
Now comes the tale from Tulsa
to the effect that the big Kansan's
oil properties are very valuable
and that he has . fortune in sight.
Willard made big money during
his short regime as heavyweight
champion. He got nothing from
the battle with Johnson. but he
gathered quito q harvest as a CIR
Gus attraction. He got a fat sum
from the fight with Moran at
Madison Square Garden. and was
paid 500, 1000 for the battle with
Jack Dempsey.
Jess invested much Of his
money in Kansas farm land and
oil prospects. He was always
Of a saving disposition, and only
bad investments could have swept
away his earnings. The fact that
he has not made much of an
effort to get another match with
Dempsey, which would have given
him plenty Of money, rather dis
proves the story that he had gone
broke.
