TUnconfirmed Reports to. the Effect That Champ Is Through and Will Pass Title to Moran, Are Heard. ‘New York, April 7.—An uncon- firmed report today reached this city to the effect that Jess Willard serious- ly contemplates retiring from the ring for the reason that he doubts his ability again to get into condition for circulation that Willard, in the event of his retirement, will make a present of the title to Frank Moran. While it is conceded that this would be very magnanimous on the part .of the | champion, serious doubts are held as to the right of the champion to dic- i tate as to his successor. In fact, ex- perts insist that when Willard de- clines further to defend the, title, he loses all control over the champion- =hip and the honors are open to gen- eral competition. In any event the championship has never been passed along as a gift from the holder to a warm personal friend, and if Willard succeeds in do- ing so it will be a new departure. Jeffiries once tried to hand the title on a silver plate to Marvin Hart, but the public laughed so heartily that Jeft pulled back his gift.

(GIANTS TAKE LEAD IN TIGERS’ SERIES Tesrean and Salles Pitch Airtight | Brand of Basebal Manhattan, Kan.,, ‘April 7.—The Glants got the jump of a game on the Tigers in this tumultuous series by taking on easy 3 to 1 contest on the Krounds of the Kansas Aggies yester- day. / Jeft Tesreau, the bear hunter of the Ozark Mountains, started for the Giants ,and held the skippers safe. The lone run on the part of the T|sers! was due partly to the temporary wild- ness of Siim Sallee, aided and abetted by errors on the part of Herzog and Zimmerman. Burns ferried the first| over in the first inning, drawing a pass | and travelling around on a hit by: Herzog and outs by Thorpe and Zim- | merman. The second run landed vhen Thorpe forced Herzog and' gcored on a healthy three-bagger by | Zimmerman, In the seventh Fletcher was beaned | by Couch, Kauff drove a hit to center, ' Holke forced Fletcher, McCarthy ' bunted to Couch and Kauff scored on the out. It looked like a tie in the eighth for Detroit when Burns, with two out, shot a drive along the left ' field line. Umpire Brennan called it | foul. Zimmerman was the long hitter of : the day with his triple. Herzog and Kauff each collected two singles for McGraw's men. Jeff Tesreau struck out threc of the enemy and showed better form than thus far this season. The score follows: r. h e Detroit ... . 000001000—1 5 2 New York .. 100001100—3 7 2 Batteries—Couch, Mitchell and Yélke; Tesreau, Sallee and Rariden and McCarty. FOWNES VS. MAXWELL Veteran Pitted Against Youngster Is Bill for Final Day of Pinehurst Tourney—Oakmont Player Favorite, Pinehurst, N. C, April 7.—In two stirring semi-final matches, one of which ended at the last hole and the other on the seventeenth greenm, the preliminary competition for the North and South amateur championship came to an end. As a result William C. Fownes of Oakmont, the peerless ‘“careful” playver of the country, who probably makes fewer bad shots than any amateur, will meet Norman H. Maxwell of Aronimink, a boy still in his teens, of slender build and less pounds than any other golfer of note in America. It will be a veteran against a new brilliant arrival to American golf star- dom and there is no picking a winner. Maxwell, if the match were at eigh- It may be that at | thirty-six holes Fownes will prove that past experi- ence and former championship battles have value worth while, The round yesterday between Frank | Dyer of Montclair and Fownes was a ! battle royal. Recovery followed al- most every bad shot. There was a ! high wind blowing, which made golf a supreme test of judgment as well | as steadiness, and in these qualities | Fownes shone. He never was down. At the second hole he took the lead when Dyer nceded three putts. The third hole was won by the Montclair | player and the fourth was halved. Fownes, on the 427 yard fifth, made a 4, Dyer again failing on a six footer for a half. The seventh hole, a tough hole of 537 yards, into the teeth of the gale, was won by Dyer in a § and the match was all square once more We Are Catering to Afternoon Bowling Pin Men Always on Hand AETNA ALLEYS, Church Street GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE A Guarantee YOU want just one thing in the clothes you buy; if you get that, it’s enough.
