Jess Willard Mum
But Is Looking Fit

Los Angeles, May 12-(By A. p. y
Jess Willard is in town. The best in
formation available indicates that he
il in training. but he declined today
to see newspaper men to divulge
plans or his hopes, or to say anything
about whether he wanted to fight
DE mpsey again. or had anything in
prospect along pugilistic lines
Willard has been here two weeks
or more. Newspaper men traced him
TO n leased home in a quiet residence
section. where the telephone was
listed Under another name.
Today it was said at the Willard
home Jess was spending his time in
the mountains. Pressed for the To-
cation. the statement was changed
10 say he was spending his time in
Hollywood. His failure to appear
there at any of the motion picture
studios where he formerly worked,
lea visitt RS to inquire whether he has
training quarters in Hollywood and
is preparing for ring comeback.
The question was evaded. Neigh
bors who have seen Willard say he is
overweight but otherwise looking re-
markaby fiji. They advanced the
guess that he was training quietly,
in the hope he could get into such
shape that any challenge he might
issue or approve would have the
backing OF his physical trim.

last she appeared with balloons at
tachod to her costume so that she
seemed to float about the floor.
Another very pleasing exhibition
was that of Sam Alberts ard Dorice
Carey. These two local dancers are
well known in this city and they are
considered to be the best dancers in
this part Ct the State. Their Offering
was fancy foX-trot and they were
forced to respond to an encore, and
then they left the crowd unsatisfed.
Their dance was most graceful, both
dancing as one Dips turns and all
manner of beautiful and intricate ste:
were shown, and always they were
well done with a polish that only
comes through much practice.
The rest of the evening was devoted
to dancing, the music being furnished
by Douglas orchestra. Confetti and
steamers ana paper hats we're much
in evidence and one was reminded of
Mardi Gras by the merriment and Joy
which was everywhere apparent. The
dance lasted Until 1880 and the second
baseball Carnival came to a successful
close.
The carnival this year did not come
up to the financial success of last year.

A New Form of Begging

a new development of the ancient
art of panhandling is reported from
the eat-quick lunch chains. The artist
must needs be ragged and woebegone,
in accordance with the traditions of
his craft. He gets cup of coffee and
holds the check for it in his hand as
he seats himself in one of those chairs
of which the arms serve the purpose
of tables.
Huskily addressing his neighbor in
the next chair, he says:
eff you have anything left on your
plate would you please give it to me?
I have only the price of the coffee"
Needless to say the disconnected
neighbor fishes out, some change. gives
it to the panhandler and tells him to
buy something to. eat. But If the
operators subsequent actions be
watched. it will be seen that instead
of buying food he practices his new
trick on some other victim. And the
indications are that he is making
fair income.-New York Sun.
