WILLARD'S HEART SHOWS HIS REMARKABLE ENDURANCE Champion Gives an Inkling of His Tremendous Reserve Force While Working Out During a Severe Wind Storm.

Lt was a day of depressing t until shortly after the champion entered’the ring for his workout. Then black clouds rolled over the sun and a windstorm bent the trées over so far around the ring that people moved away for foar of being crushed if they féll. There's gomothing elemental Wboyt Willard, By the way he turned and faced the wihd any one could soe ho felt like matohing strength with the orm.

The tap shoved Heinen through the ropes, so that when he tried to regain his balance the top rope of the ring was across his face, | Willard noticed this instantly, laughed and hit Heinen a playful tap on the ohin with @ short jerk of nis right hand, The offect was startling, Heinen went headlong through the ropes as if he had been struck down with a olub, The back of his head bounced on the floor and he lay there, face up | to the aky, without a quiver, For a second Willard looked at him in sur- | Prise, turned half away, looked back and saw that Heinen hadn't moved, came back and leaned over the ropes, looking down at his fallen sparring rope ‘Then ho realized that Heinen was out, Joss called for help and cold water, Heinen Was Completely Knocke d Out. Monahan, Hempel and Chip leaped into the ring with a bucket, They poured water over Heinen, and still the Chicago heavyweight didn't stir. Willard picked him up from the floor and Monahan held him while Hempot poured water ovor his head. In a moment Heinen opened his eyes, blinked and moved his arms spasmodically. Then Hempel and Chip hustled him from the ring and sat him on a seat beside it, the reat Willard's sparring * Cosa aten teak i ees ni LIP Pin SRO er NG SM write ~or Wek Tris Speaker - aA Works New Play in Game With Yankees series from the Yanks on the Polo Grounds thi: on, After a Putout at First, Cleve- land Centrefielder Dashes to Second and Tags Hannah Out.

Before him was. Monahan boxing with Willard. Heinen's last recollection, a8 I-hoart him tell Chip @ minute later, was that he was tr; ing to get clear of the ropes and Willard was towering over him. Now, as the dazed expression cleared from his eyes, he saw Monahan prancing about in his place, A grin came over his face, “Gosh!” exclaimed Heinen, ‘Willard'’s work for the day consisted of ten hard rounds of boxing. First he boxed three rounds with Hempel. I don't know what Hempel gets, but he earns his money. The Indians started out with their old trick of ices at the first ball but there tacticn will not worl on an expe ince old-timer lke B Shawkey.

The knockout described above came later, Chip followed Heinen's first appearance and boxed two rounds, Joe is extremely aggressive and he gives Willard quite the beat workout of the afternoon, He is fact and he hits continually and with good direction, Willard doesn’t lean on hin and hustie him around much, and holds back his heavy punches to some extent, #o Chip can cut loose with everything he has. Not that it makes much difference to Chip. He told me that a mule kicked bim on the jaw once and knocked half his teeth out, so that he was un- conscious for two days, and another mule kicked him in the pit of the stomach, and he was blown 100 feet by the explosion of sixty-seven sticks of dynamite in a mine, After all this Chip doesn’t mind anything that Willard can do, Chip fights with an air of exasperation, He plunges and gots in close, and he slams away for all he is worth and keeps on slamminy. He hits Willard on the chin often, He catches Jess while Jess isn't expect- ing a punch to come up from some new angle, and the crowd hnughs and Jess grins in good nature, Chip amuses him. He punches Jess in the stomach and Jess takes hold of the rope with both hands to show that he won't hit back, pushes his body out and encourages Chip to lo away, Chip does ‘until his arms weary, and is more exasperated than ever, Lots of action in the rounds with Chip, Now and then Jess reaches around Ch: head from his helght above and ouffs him from behind, on the neck, The crowd always laughs and Jess grins at the joke, but Chip tells me these little chops feel like a dislocation and bother him more than a hard poke on the chin, The three rounds with Hempel, two with Chip, three with Heinen and two with Monahan finished the boxing, It was undoubtedly Willard’s best workout to date, ‘was full of spoof and showed no signs of belng at all tired until the last round, when he betame a little slow and didn't snap his punches out, Perhaps this was in part because he had Monaban wobbling around the ring, and he doesn't like to polish off his little playmate from Havana he did, purely by accident, on the day of Monahan's arrival, Willards’ Heart Indicates Great Endurance. Attor boxing, Willard went through his other stunts, the full list.

As soon as the first base- man caught the ball and retired Shawkey he suddenly turned and whipped it to second, where Tris Bpeaker, who had sneaked in from centerfield, caught the ball and|* touched out the surprised Hannah, Thig play will work often. The run+ ner, upon reaching second, will naturally step off the bag when he aves that the ‘shortstop and second baseman have resumed thelr po- sitions. This drijiiant play was created in the mind of Tris Speaker some time ago and he worked it first on O'Dowd down at Philadeiphia, catching him just as easily as it did Truck Hannah. The wonder of the play is that no fast man in Lhe outfield over thought of \t before, ‘The Yanks were the victim of real two-ply hard luck.
