JEOPLE who have seen Jess Will- ard box lately report the big champion in first class condi Jess isn't carrying any superfuous Weight. It seems that Jess acol- dentally got himself into condition. When he bought the circus with which he has been travelling around he took unto himself a lot of wor- fies, It was all very fine when Jess @idn’t own the circus, and the circus was paying Jess a whopping big every week, That was noft. equentiy Willard, in apite of the Gat boxing and training stunts put on for show purposes, grew fat, Life was all ease for him.

He had to get Up before daylight instead of being led at the last possible moment, had to go everywhere and make @ lot of men hu He had to be the Boss. And he had to pitch in and work himself.

And feas hates a hundred thousand dol- the way he hated to knock out jack Johnson down in Havana, No wonder the fat has been wor- ried right off Jess. No wonder he is down to fighting weight. No wonder all trace of the easy-going good ature that characterized him when boxed ten rounds with Moran has disappeared, No wonder Jess is up on his toes and apparently fit to t at the drop of the hat. Jess finds circusing around hard work, perhaps he will go to the ring again, in spite of his longing for retirement to a thou- wand acre ranch stocked with black cattle, It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Jens changed his mind about a lot of things, took on a couple of the Diggest heavyweights available, and t again in championship form. ought vw do it.

Most of the horsemen who saw him run pronounce the colt the runningest seon this year, but there some good judges at that, who refuse to go into ecstasies over the form War Cloud showed. His race undoubtedly was a good one for a green horse, one which had never raced, and he is jikely to improve off {t, but several pessimistic experts re fuse to crown him the juvenile cham- pion on this one particular outing. They argue that in the first place he didn’t beat anything unless Debadou can be rated highly, and besides he out of town, giving shows of various sorts, Incidentally, Curley has of- fered to “do his bit" by furnishing some wrestling and boxing er= tainments for the soldiers in the training camps, iJ Benny Leonard for not enlist- ing in the army, a# he intended when he knocked out Freddy Welsh.

BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK OUR BUG COLLECTION, NO. 2—-THE 1917 Futurity Winner In Speedy War Cloud didn’t have anything on his back (10% pounds). Buxton also had to hurry him in the early part to get him into & contending position. Those who think the colt an excep- tonally good one come back with the argument that the fact that he stood the “early hurrying and then came away from his company in the mtretoh is a big point in his favor. They also add the remark that hit five and @ balf furlongs in 1.0634 was the fastest of the meeting so far This te very true, answer the doubt- ing Thomases here, but all the races run yesterday wore fast because the going was in the best of condition. War Cloud is presumed to be the best two-year-old barn, the one Trainer Jennings has been keeping under cover, penalties for the Futurity. Whether these painstaking methods will meet with the reward resulting from a Futurity victory, only the rich stake \tself will prove, but Mr. War Cloud will have to show something elso ain besides his yesterday race to switch the writer from the ring-boned Sunbriar, This colt, if sound, would stand out in our estimation. He is of |the kind which takes the track nat- urally when the barrier rises and needs little hunching getting to the top end of his field. Sunbriar, by the way, is in good shape right now. Only yesterday he reezed” to Excoba, one which came t regarded as the best two-year- of the West.

A glance back at the last race of Jack Hare jr. would make one be- Neve his victory in the Grab Hag the most startling kind of a form re- ersul. In his previous start on a slow track he was beaten by the long shot Plevna, closing up like a jack- knife after three-cighths, On’ that | occasion, how Jack Hare jr, was | ridden a choking, restraining race by Molesworth, and besides was giving away weight in chunks to all opponents.

NILES. and Craig Biddle scored from re- versals as the field narrowed to the semi-final round in the national Patriotic singles, Niles, famous as one of the most dependable of the great players of the Longwood Crick- et Club, so smoothly used his drives against Clarence J. Griffin as to over- whelm the Californian in straight sets at 6—1, 6—3, 6—0; while the crowd sat about the turf court at Forest Hills and marveled, Niles always played the ball with tantalizing variations of speed, Fur- thermore, he compelled the Califor- nian, rated at No. 6 on tho ranking list and the partner of William M. Johnston in the holding of the ni tlonal doubles crowns, to keep on the move for his shots, Biddle completed his postponed match with Dean Mathoy, the No, 10 of the ranking list, with the result that he accounted for the retirement of another of the top ten, The com. plete score of the match was 6—4, 1214, 6—3, 6—8 This result had been foreshadowed on Tuesday even- ing when the match was put over, as Mathey was being out-generalled in the rallies by Biddle's forehanders. That Biddle, a friend of the late Anthony F. Wilding, was at the pin- nacle of his game, Was made evident in the next round, when he forced R. SEMI-FINAL ROUND OF TENNIS TO-DAY.
