After thet Jess will sit down with his friend Miller and wait for the big bids to roll in. A theatrical manager oays offer $126,000, and if suc- cessful will hold the bout near Min- neapolis. ‘This would mean ten rounds and fo decision. As Jess will have the fiial say on all details, we can see a large and beautifully decorated cray- om Of Jess, in a gold frame, turning down that offer on the ground that he bas proposed to meet Fulton in @ real championship fight, in defense of bis title, Tf Jess can get as much money for the short no-decision fight as for a twenty or twenty-five round battle with @ decision—good night to all that talk about “risking the title.” It won't be risked.

(Bpectal to The Evening World.) MACON, Ga., March 22. ARRY SPARROW’S celebrated gold fountain pen was kept busy working overtime this morning. Several celebrated athletes took the dainty quill in their sun- browned paws and scribbled their John Hancocks to Yankee contracts, The wiciders of the weapon famed as mightier than the sword were Senor Francisco Pizzola, better known his non-de-diamond “Ping Bodie,” Georgo Mogridge, Zinn Beck, Hugh High, and Bill Lamar, It was all a matter of formality, as each of the athletes previously had accepted terms and only awaited signing contracts till the new blanks arrived from New York. They came eGo last night after all the good ball players had tucked themselves in bed, but Harry Sparrow made all hands “sign the papers” before hitting the trail for City Park this morning. All through this morning’s work- out the regulars taunted the Yanni- gans on the 9 to 7 spanking admin- istered them in the first practice game of the season yesterday.
