Vill—WILLARO’S RING BATTLES AND RISE TO CHAMPION- SHIP SERIES. Copyrieh'. 1915. by (he Press Publiehing Co, (The New York Hvening World) i BY ROBERT EDGREN. Tse last year Willard’s record didn't gr: much He fought «| o-deciston bout with Tom McMahon at Youngstown ocked out Dan Daily at Buffalo tg nine rounds and knocked out I Rode! in vin ot Atlanta. | Of these the most notable was the fight with Dan Dally, another giant | abou! a» big as Willard, oud with the biggest hands ever seen on & human being in the ring. From the start of his career Dag Dally was touted os a coming champion. He looked the pert, and did some fairly good fighting. However, others beside Will beat him, so Jess didn't get much reputation through bis nine-round knockout. Willard might have had a mueh better record but for one unfortunate thing. He couldn't get the men with reputations to fight him. One and all they sidestepped the Kansas giant, Gupboet Smith wouldn't meet Willard again under any conditions after winntag ® deciaion over him in San Fran- cisco, Ho was quite catiofied to keep Willard in the vietim list and tell him ‘ce ° 99 to "Ko get a reputation.” ‘There wore lote of easier marks in the country Mi Ke R. | Ch than the big fellow from Kansas, and plenty of clubs to pay the Gunner for Cc ay ee ampton fighting them. vir ame rm no ot te aes cute verrvuoie, runt!
