Dear Bob: Surely you must take exception to the statement of Tom Jones, as printed in your oolumn to-day, to the effect that Ido not want to have Jim Cof- fey box Joss Wiltard and that I prefer that Coffey have a few more fights before meeting the present champion. Jones is all wrong, othing would please Jim Coffey and my- self more than a chance for a crack at Willard, providing, of eourse, that Coffey get his she of the gate. To date no bona fi offer to box the champion has been made, and, believe me, ghould it ever come along and if ft Is within reason, you can de- pend that I will quickly affix my ture to & set of articles, So ‘as Coffey having a few more Dattles, it should be remembered thas in Coffey's career he has boxed three times as many men as the present champion has and Coffey has decisively defeated Carl Morris, who welghed twenty unds less in that match than ‘orrin did when he boxed Willard at the Garden. And Morris claimed he was in better condition fn the Coffey matoh than he was fm the Willard match, and the weight seems to show that to be true. Jim Coffey is three inches shorter in height and two and three-quarter inches less in reach than Willard. Last weok ‘when I visited the Irish champion in the mountains at Croton Lake he told me that the one ambition of his life was to meet the present champion in the same ring, Youra as ever, BILLY GIBSON, P. §.—-And has Jones forgot that @unboat Bmith, one of the tough- ewt heavyweights of the prosent eee decision over Willanat ( ‘ THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, Copyright, 1916, by The Press Publishing ' College Golfers Make Radical Move by Awarding Pittsburgh Next Championship The International Golf Association has just decided on a move that ia the biggest thing in the history of the sport so far as the rab, rab boys are concerned. Davidson Herron, Secretary, announces that next year the championship tournament, which has been an Eastern affair exclusively, will be held at the Oakmont Country Club, mear Pittsburgh. The exact dates hive not been set, but they will probably be about the usual time, the second or third week in September, Just how radical a move this decision is may be realized by tho naming of the courses on whioh the nineteen intercollegiate cham- Pionships have been held—Garden City (four times), Ardsley (three times), and the following once apiece: Atlantic City, Myopia, Nassau, Bree Burn, Apawamis, Hesex County (Mees), Baltusrol, Ekwanok, Huntingdon Valley and Greenwich. It will be no hard task for the Western colleges to send teams to Pittaburgh, and a number of them almost eurely will be repre- sented at Oakmont in September. This year the University of Diinels sent a team all the way Bast to play at Greenwich and so took the first step in making the tournament a national event.
