Former Heavyweight Champ
Conserved Funds and
Is Rich Man.
By DAMON RUNYoN

jess Willard, the old Pottawatomie
Founder. heavyweight champion of the
world from April 5, 1918. to July 4,
1919. now dwells in peace and quiet,
as well as in much comfort, and some
luxury, on handsome little estate at
yerdugo, near Glendale, Cal.
II is a property valued at over
$4,000 and is one Of the many realty
holdings that make Willard a wealthy
man. He probably has as much
money as any former champion. He
is rated at about 100000. He bought
lot of property in Los Angeles at a
comparatively low figure some years
ego. that has turned out very valuable.
Willard really had considerable
money when he started his famous
comeback in 1928, which ended with
his defeat by Luis Angel Firpo at
Boyle's Thirty Acres in July of that
year, but as part of his publicity cam
paign and to arouse public sympathy
il was said that the old champion was
broke.
He was then 40 years old, according
TO the record book which gives the
year of his birth as 1888 although
some think be is even older. He began
his comeback with the idea of getting
a return match with Jack Dempsey,
but the New York State Athletic COM
mission said he was too old.
He was barred from fighting in that
state until finally be agreed 20 meet
FLOYD johnson, the Iowa Bulldog,
then a heavyweight sensation, for the
benefit of the Milk Fund, and the
commission lifted the ban for the pur-
poses Of that one bout.
Willard knocked out johnson, then
in July Of the same year he fell be
fore The Wild Bull of the Pampas at
Boyle,s Thirty Acres. and closed his
ring career. He got S55, 900 for fight
ing johnson, and about $4,000 for
fighting Firpo. To that extent, at
least. Il was probably the most sue
cessful comeback in the history OF the
game.
Not long after he became champion,
Willard bought one Of the finest
farms in Kansas, near Lawrence. BE
tried 10 sell il at auction some time
ago with the idea Of concentrating
his property holdings in California,
but no offer came up to Willard s
notion of what the farm is worth, SO
he bid it in himself He still owns it.
He lost some money in oil lands
at one time. but he made consider
able money in other ways. he was
with a circus for two consecutive sea-
sons, after winning the title from
John Arthur johnson, and got $1,000
per week for long stretches. He saved
plenty of money in those days.
He bought the 101 Ranch show and
conducted it at a profit until the war
came on. when be sold it out. 1t was
predicted when he bought the show
that be would lose everything he had,
yet the Ksnsan proved a good show
man.
he lives within few minutes ride
~ Los Angeles, but he is rarely seen
10 the city. BE has attended one
boxing show there since the ten-round
game returned to California. It wgs
at Vernon. where Willard fought Bull
Young in 1913, Young dying as a re-
suit of the punishment received in the
battle.
Willard has five fine children, two
boys and three girls. The eldest is
about 16. He was always a strong
family man, and while the Manly Art
~ Scrambling Ears never cared much

vislin and piano music; also sew
eral songs by the whole assem-
blage.
Rev. Rodholm thanked people
for what they had done for him
and his family, approaching the
festive and happy air of this
gathering. He expressed the
hope that the man who is to fol-
low him may be accorded the
same good cooperative spirit,
adding that it means ever so
much for a man to feel that the
people are with him.
Rev. Rodholm preached his
first sermon in the Askov church
on July 4, 1919, and in the seven
years that have lapsed the at
tendance at each of the Sunday
services has been very good.
Askov has been fortunate in hav-
ing a man of his ability here.
Not alone has he given well pre-
pared sermons with deep thought
but he has also lectured upon
many occasions and willingly
helped with other community
work. He was president of the
Danish Evangelical Lutheran
Church of America for four years
and as such travelled extensively
over the entire country, holding
that position until a year ago
when he was elected to the high
est, position within the church,
that of president of Grand View
College, which is also the semi
nary of the Danish Lutheran
Church.
The family left in auto at 6
a. m. Tuesday, from the F. Clarey
Nielsen home, folks along the
line waving goodbye. Miss Nan
ma and Karma left on the train
Wednesday and Ansgar remains
to work at the local hardware
store. Dagmar went to Minnea-
polls to work. They were seven
in the car.
Rev. O. H. Dyreborg, Junction
City, Ore, is expected here in a
week or two.

Washington, July congress
closed up shop this week with it's
counters heaped with undelivered
goods. Some of its undisposed-
of wares will doubtless be busted
off when another session is be-
gun in December. Among these
is postal rate legislation. The
trail of agricultural relief will
doubtless wind through the No
vember elections and into the
next session. The rivers and har-
bors bill is among other impor-
tant measures which have gone
over.
If you sought out Mr.. Cool dge's
friends in Senate or House lob
bies just before Congress adj
journed they told you the admin
istration was satisfied with much
that Congress did, or rather left
undone. Talk now to some of the
Republican "Old Guard" still tar
rying at Washington and you will
find them not so pleased with the
immediate political prospect.
Beyond they visualize already
some Of the possibilit es of the
Presidential year of 1923. The
investigation of campaign ex-
penditures in Pennsylvania con-
Quoted chiefly by Senator Jim"
Reed of Missouri, is among their
problems. The investigation is
to go on during the heat of the
summer and the heat of the fall
campaign. Many believe it will
unquestionably leave it's mark
upon the present and the next
Congress and become a factor in
the national convention and ma
tional campaigns two years hence.
From Pennsylvania it is turning
into Illinois and other states. It's
end is not even in sight. 1t has
become a vehicle for politics that
may run far and fast along the
political highway of the future.
With the closing of Congress
and the departure of the Pres
ident for a protracted vacation
in the Adirondacks, official life
at Washington will settle down
to dull and unrelieved routine.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-07-08

1t is out in the country that ma
tional views will develop and be
disseminated during the summer
and fall. Senators and Congress
men, are rushing home to feel the
political pulse of their people and
prepare for what is to come in
November and the next Pres
idential election.
There are Democratic Senators
who express the hope that the
next Senate will be Democratic;
there are Republican Senators
who profess to be equally conf
dent that the Senate will remain
Republican. For the nonce legis-
lation will give way more fully
to politics except where the
Legislative record the past ses-
sion left behind it is dragged into
the pending Senatorial and Con-
gressional campaigns.
Congress is gone for the time
being. The country is entering
upon a season of stock taking by
all political groups. While the
people turn to base ball and fish
ing, the politicians will continue
to study the political horizon in
an effort to read the storm
clouds gathered there already.
A guessing contest as to the
meaning of those clouds is going
steadily forward. 1t will con-
tinue until the polls close in No
vember. Then may be gathered
some real idea of what the next
Congress shall be, and of what
the issues of the next Presiden-
tial campaign shall dictate. In
the meanwhile Congress has scat
tered homeward and the long
trail of the future is yelled in
uncertainty and doubt.
+ When the summer vacation
Eperiod is over more than a peep
into the actualities of the future
may be provided, but it is too
early now to do much more than
speculate about the future. Sheer
guessing the presents in
order.

Fami1y.-Gone to Des
MOineS.

Rev. S. D. Rodholm who left
with his family Tuesday morning
via auto for Des Moines, Iowa,
where he is now president of
Grand View College, preached
his last sermon of the seven
years he has been in Askov, at
the local Danish Lutheran church
Sunday morning before a congre-
cation that filled the spacious
building. 1t was found necessary
to provide extra seating capaci-
ty.
In the evening folks gathered
at the church basement in appre-
citation of the good work done by
Rev. Rodholm and his family in
this community and to wish
them we'll in their new home.
Nearly 800 people were seated at
neatly decorated tables where
coffee was served, and another
$50 waited to be served later. In
all about $50 were present in the
evening. Flowers given by the
local nursery were neatly ar
ranged in vases on all the tables.
Fred johnson, president of the
congregation, bid welcome. Short
talks were given by L. C. Peder-
sen, DR.. P. N. Fenger, Niels Brus,
F. Clarey Nielsen and Jens Gre
gersen. Evald Sorensen, presi-
dent of the Young Peoples So
ciety, thanked for good work in
behalf of the society,"
Mr.. Nielsen dweltAupon what
Rev. Rodholm had been to the
many Askov confirnants and adj
vised young folks to adhere to
the good things learned. A
leather bag was presented to the
pastor by Carl Dixen from the
confirmation class.
A purse of about 500 was al
so given to Rev. Rodholm, this
coming from the gathering pres
ent that evening and was pre-
sented through Mr.. johnson with
a few well chosen words.
