JESS WILLARD'S FUTURE RESTS WITH JONES Syndicate May Ruin Big Jess by Keep- ing Him on the Stage. t 3s quite possible that Jones & Co. of the Willard syndicate will be suc cessful fn making a profit out of the big Kansan in exhibition work. The Ppromoters may get a good return on the money they invested when they clinched the match with Johnson and Dbrought it to @ successful conclusion in Cuba. At the same time, if Jones Co. keep Willard on the show circuit for two years, as threatened, they wil ruin him, from the standpoint of pugilistic performance. It makes no difference whether Willard is 28 or 33 years old. Two years of one-night stands, with their absence of physical exercise, lack of fresh air and nothing but exhibition boxing, will ruin the career of the best men that ever drew on a glovg. If the syndicate adheres to its pro- gram they will find when they finally put the big fighter in the ring that he is good for mnothing else except ex- hibition work. y Perhaps the Willard syndicate does not care anything about Big Jess' fu- ture career, provided, they get the money they desire. He would be able to get one big championship fight efter his theatrical work, and if he got whipped the syndicate could' then come to terms with the victor. A pugilist, like any other athlete, can retain top form only by one pro- cedure. After he had engaged in a hard contest, preceded by a long course of training, he requires a rest, during which he naturally will take on considerable flesh that was worked off during the training work. Having re- gained his normal condition les to weight and flesh, the pugilist is then ready to begin the same kind of work that fitted him for the contest. But let a pugllist, after a cruclal contest in the ring, begin a_ siege of stage work, fail to get needed rest, mbandon all vigorous work with the gloves and continue the enervating stage work for e long period of time and the result will be to reduce his pugilist ability to the vanishing Ppoint. It does not mecessarily follow that tdissipation must enter into the calcu- lation. An athlete must be an athlete if he wishes to perform efficiently in his line of endeavor, and the instant he cuts away from athletic habits he loses form. The fact that Willard, or rather the eyndicate has refused an offer of a. $30,000 purse to battle with Gunboat Smith at Denver, July 4, indicates clearly that Jess will not do any seri- ous boxing for some time to come. He may engage In a few mo-decision contests for the gate receipts, but as for a lone battle in which his title would be endangered there is small Pprospect. Jim Buckley, manager of Gunboat Smith, who was recently in Denver With the Gunner, made the following statement after Jomes had refused the o_fforef the Denver syndichte of a $30,000 purse: stand ready to post $5,000 with any responsible parties in Denver to match the Gunner against Jess Willard for a twenty-round or a finish fight before any club that can guarantee to pull the match off without interfer- « ence, the deposit to go as a side bet, winuer take all if the Willard people want it that way. I hontestly believe the Gunner is the most logical oppo- nent that Willard can meet, and the public eooner or later will demand a match between them. My boy has beaten Willard once fair and square and Willard hes never fought him since. We have tried every way to get him In right with the Gunmer, but there has been nothing doing. He has not any ears when fight is mentioned.” i | N.F. A.

Travis of Garden City, veteran golfer and former winner of international, nation- al and metropolitan championships, played a splendid game today in the second round of match play for the metropolitan association’s title on the Apawamis club's links. His opponent was_his old rival, Jerome D. Travers, of Upper Montclair, N. J., also a fre- quent winner of national and met- ropolitan golf honors, but the veteran won by one up, after giving one of the best exhibitions of his golfing career. Invariably the older player was out- driven from the tees, but his remark- able work on the greens gave him the victory. His putting was uncanny at times and on several greens he needed only a single putt. A ten-foot curling putt on the fifth and another on the sixth green gave him the holes in two and three respectively, each being one stroke under par. He was then one up and never relinquished the lead. Each plaver made the round in 76, Travis winning the match on the Home green with a twelve foot putt for a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET CONSISTENTLY STRONG Dealings in United States Steel Amounted 'to 25 Per Cent, of the Whole.

BIG ROWING ATTRACTIONS. Poughkeepsie and Yale-Harvard Re- gattas Much Interest to Fans. The advent of Junetime focuses the attention of the sporting public on the two big regattas that are to be staged the latter part of the month and from the present imications these affairs promise to be real thrillers. Naturally the greatest is in the big Poughkeepsie regatta because it has five entrles against two in the Yale- Harvard affair, but owing to_the bril- liant work shown by the Blue and Crimson crews so far this spring, it looks as if the rival crews will hit the water more evenly matched than ever before in history. Yale has a crew of huskies this year, so has Harvard. Each university has a goodly number of, veterans In the shells, with some new blood added that promises to increase the stroking pow- er. It wouldn’t be surprising if a new speed record were hung up on the Thames when the crews meet here. The Poughkeepsie regatta will bring into action varsity chews from Colum- bia, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Cornell, and Leland Stanford and freshman crews from the first four colleges. . Leland Stanford looms up as the “darx horse” in big varsity affairs. The California outfit, which won its way into the regatta by virtue of its victory in the triangular meet on the Pacific coast, is one of the heaviest and big- gest that ever was gathered in one boat. Seven of the eight oarsmen are six feet and over; the eighth is 5 feet, 11 inches tall. The average height of the crew is nearly six feet one inch and the average weight 180 pounds, Some rowing experts think so mmuch bulk is a handicap. That was the sen- timent before Leland Stanford battled with_the University of California, and the Washington crews on the Pacific. Boston. June 3—The delivery of three | But sentiment underwent a change after the- sweeping victory-of the Le- land Stanford outfit. The same crew that won the Pacific coast champlonship for Leland Stan- ford will row at Poughkeepsie and those who saw the crew in action on the coast pass out the tip—'Watch the westerners.” The Cornell varsity outfit doesn't look as good this year as it has in other years. But there’s plenty of time to whip it into shape. “Old Man” Courtney has a weaith of material, and the genius of the rowing world rarely ever settles upon his crew makeup until near race time. ‘Woeful stories issue from Syracuse. One should pity the poor, old Syracuse crowd if one could firmly believe all one hears. But there's such a thing as “boar stories,” and that’ what those Syracuse yarns listen like. We are told that “for the first time in many years Syracuse has no varsity crew and no real material” But we'll wager a case of cookies that when the crews hit the water Syracuse will have a crew just about as good as the rest. 5 Columbia looks good. So do Penn- sylvania. Columbia has plenty of good material and Jim Rice is giving all his candidates a thorough tryout, be- fore making selections for his varsity outfit. Columbia won the race last vear in handy fashion, when it looked to be an outsider, and this year, with better prospects, the New York city crowd may go into the race a favorite in_the betting. Pennsylvania must be watched—and watched closely. The Philadeiphia gang rowed a wonderful four miles last year. It finished second. It might have won had it timed its spurt a bit soon- er. The Pennsylvania aggregation had the power for the final drive, but it held back too long. There won’t be many changes in the makeup of the 1915 crew over that of 1914, and with the experience gain- ed last year, the Pennsylvanians, from this angle, look like certain contenders for the first place honors. All in all the Poughkeepsie battle ought to be a thrilling one eall the way along the four mile stretch. The five shells ought to go up to the three mile mark pretty well bunched with everyone ready for the final, heart- ‘breaking last mile spurt. SLUGGERS STILL HAVE A CLEAN SLATE In City League—West Ends and Emer- alds Battling for Second Place. The City league enters its fourth week of play this coming Sunday and the tie for second place will undoubt- edly be broken. The Sluggers now still retain the lead and have a clean slate. In last Sunday’s game the East Ends appeared in their new suits of gray and they made a neat appearance. Manager Troland of the Warriors an- nounces that his field is being repair- ed and will be out of condition for this week, but he has made arrange- ments for the scheduled game Sun- day. Registers Player. The Sturtevants of the City league have registered Bob White, who will make his initial appearance this com- ing Sunday. The registration of White completes the Sturtevants’ list of 15 players, the limit of the league. Colgate Swamps Hamilton. Utica, N. Y, June 3—By playing errorless ball and hitting opportunely, Colgate university closed Hamilton col- lege’s baseball season this afternoon at Clinton with a shutout, 7 to 0, Offers Cup to Leading Hitter, Princeton and Yale men who mar- vel at the success of the Willlams nine at New Haven and Nassau, may find some explanation in the system un- der which batting is fostered and en- couraged at Williamstown, The scheme was devised last season by Capt. Ains- lie, of the 1914 team who offered a cup to be awarded to the man showing the greatest strength at bat. The idea follows: First, one point for every safe ar- rival at first base by hit, error, choice, etc. Second, one point for scored. Third, one point for every stolen base. Fourth, one point for every sacrifica hit other than driving in a run. Fifth, one and one-half points for every run knocked in on a clean hit or sacrifice, every run English Polo Star Dies.
