Mr.. Coleman, who left Norfolk
today, after being guest of hnn>
or at the annual banque. of the
Tidewater Automobile Association
last night. would not commit him
self on his political aspirations.
He gave as his reasons for re-
signing his position as chief engi-
neer Of the Highway Commission
that he felt he could better further
the interest Of good roads in Vir-
GINA by working unhampefed. he
was unwilling today to elaborate
on this reason further than to
indicate that he will use all the
information obtained in II years
of road building in the Virginia
Highway Department as an in
strument to convince the voters
of the State of the necessity for
bond issue for roads.

Mr.. Coleman's talk in Norfolk

he became L private citizen last

would make some announcement
that would outline the program Of

Some Justice In
Wizards Demand

New York, Jan. 27.-The case
Of Jess Willard is a problem to
the boxing world just as big as he
is. Those who have the good OF
the game at heart must decide on
what constitutes a fair deal for
the former heavyweight champion
Those who have their own good at
heart and are in the game for
what they can get out Of it, have
to figure on how much the public
will really stand for.
Willard defends his campaign
for another bout with Jack penp-
sew for the heavyweight champion
ship with statements that he is
the former champion and has the
right of an ex-title holder for an
other chance; that he is the big
gest and strongest Of all the con-
tenders and that he can get into
condition TO fight.
With SOME. qualifications, there
is some aohddnsss' in Wizards
CLAIMS, There is no doubt that ne

the justfSe bf Ms demand never
would have been questioned if he
had not been over three years In
deciding he wanted it.
Beyand all doubt Jess is physic-
ally the biggest and strongest man
sn the heayyyeighe class, but size
doesn't mean anything when 1t is
accompanied by so mary years
That Willard can get back into
ondition IS something that can be
determined only after ne has
shown himself.

something about condition and
who haven't any axes to grind with

and declared they thought him to
be in splendid condition.

for what was done to him in To-

in 1919.
When he was interviewed by
Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker for
the Republic Athletic Club, how
ever, he did net show ary aversion
to money. He asked for a guar
antee of $4,000 and a percentage
Of the gate.
1t. may be,in- justice to Willard,
that he had reached an agreement
with Tex Richard 20 fight and
that was his way of getting away
from O'Rourke.
Willard might have done much
better :. if he had suggested that
he be, given a good trial horse to
show that he was in condition TO
engage in championship fight.
Instead, he opposed suggestions
that he demonstrate, how good he
was and said tina. ne wanted no
one but Dempsey.
Tex Richard is strong for Will
lard and maintains That he is still
good opponent for Dempsey.
Richard, of course, speaks from
box office point of view and per

From a standpoint of sportman-
shin it is to be desired that VII

in granting it to him i, should be
borne in mind that Tommy Glib

titled to fair treatment.
