y
Less than a mile away at the
same moment, on the corner OF
Twenty-sixth street and Madison
avenue-Madison Square Garden
stood a giant of man. He wore q
SLOUGH hat and an overcoat well
buttoned, the collar of which was
up around his neck. He was walt
ing for a taxicab. He had been
doing bit Of work in the gym and
was going home. Newsboys went
about selling their papers. Taxls
with customers sped by. Boys and
girls on their way home went about
their business. No one gave the
giant of a man second look, not
even a stray dog, and it was Jess
Willard, former heavyweight cham
pion.
Our Hitless Heavies and Dempsey.
TACK DEMPSEY must sit back
and laugh occasionally when
- he reads the press agent &C
counts about the men who are lined
up to meet him.
Let's 90 through the list and take
q slant at the gang of murderous
maulers who are on his trail.
HARRY WILLS:
UTILLS is the most logical con-
" tender. He is rough; we'll
w say that. He isn't any
terrific hitter by jugful. He's
as strong as a bull, makes terrible
faces and can wrestle with the
best of them, but as far as his
punch is concerned, it's moth
ing like the champs.
JESS WILLARD:
WV ILLARD probably could
w knock bale of hay
W off a wagon or break a
sandbag to bits with a punch, but
with q moving object before him
us different. Jess can hit a man
to him Q terrific belt, but if
the man keeps moving, he hasn't
much to fear, for Jess is no sharp
shooter. We might term Jess
socker. He can beat all
the others and is the only danger
Gus challenger.
TOM GIBBONS:
0IBBONS Is the best hit
" ter of the near-challengers.
~ He can knock sucker
farther than Babe Ruth can
bat a ball, but place him with
fairly well-seasoned ringster and
he's harmless. He has met Miske
five times. but never stopped him.
Chuck Wiggins, Brennan, Clay Tur-
ner, Battling Levinsky, George
Chip and host Of others have
gone the limit with him.
BILLY MISKE:
NKISKE is feared by most
V heavies. He is pretty
good hitter; Just rough
bird who might stop anyone, but
not dangerous,
BILLY BRENNAN,
FREEMAN, old brittle Bill,
X termed by some "The Old
~ Fox" and "Cunning Bill"-
why is mystery-couldn't
knock your hat off. He is
just an ordinary human sandbag.
He made a rep by kissing the can
vas twice with Dempsey.
FLOYD JOHNSON:
JOHNSON has had
more advertising than the
Flivver, He couldn't drop
the old wreck Bob Martin (who
was licked by Fay Kaiser), and
couldn't step Bill Brennan when

the leader Of one Of the factions,
without bail for further investiga-
ton.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-While re.
ports were received here that scat
tered bands of Irish Republican r.
regulars were giving up their arms,
other bands were carrying on their
warfare against the Free State
troops, particularly in the south
west.
1t was explained today that the
statement of President william =.
Cosgrave, of the Dali Eireann, that
he 10 willing to leave the question
OF Ireland's future form of govern.
ment to the voters, was entirely
informal.
Demands Arms Surrender.
Eamonn de Valera had suggested
that it should be left to an Irish
referendum whether the Free State
continued in existence or an Irish
republic were proclaimed. Cosgrave
said he was willing to trust the
judgment of the Irish voters, but
that such an offer would not be
made officially unless absolute a..
surances were given that the Re-
publicans would surrender their
arms
President, Cosgrave said he was
satisfied with the military situa-
ton. He said that the Free State
was getting all the troops lit needed,
and that the country needs no mill
tary assistance from the outside.
He did admit. however. that the
country needs money and indicated
that he 10 attempting to negotiate

DOGS RIGHT TO INHERIT
Is UPHELD BY COURT

FRANKFORT. KY, Feb. Ia
The State Court Of Appeals has
ruled in effect that a dog has az
much right as a human being to
inherit an estate when a win SO
directs.
Miss Bessie Burgess, q rich resi-.
dent Of Bourbon county, died in
1918. Her will directed that the
income from 81 900 be set aside
for Dicks comfort; that is, be.
ing well fed, have a bed in the
house by fire and be treated well
every day."
Charles willett and others at
tackled the provision on the ground
that the will did not provide a
trustee and that a dog could not
devise property under Kentucky
laws. The Court Of Appeals held
the dogs fund should not fail for
want Of a trustee and that at
Dicks death the residue of the
fund will pass as an undevised es-
tate.
