OTHER SPORTS [NEARING THE END Willard, as Oil Magnate, Is Not So Anxious Now to |. Win Back Championship Bvidently Has All the Money He Needs and Pride * Doesn’t Figure. By Robert Edgren. ICK DPMPSEY and Joss Willard had both signified their mutual willingness to slam each other— for a percentage or other: valuable Sonsideration—when Jess struck oll! Just what effect that will have on the proposed championship match between Dempsey-and Willara no one knows at present. Willard busted, with all his money tled up in ofl land leases and wildcat drilling oper- sitions, with farm mortgages to pay and othor troubles, and Willard as a Rew oll magnate with the money rolling in like a flood may be two entirely different propositions: Willard, hard up for ready cash, was anxious to fight Dempsey aiain, for percentage or guarantee. If he fights Dempsey now it will be simply use of an ambition to re-estab- ‘sh himself as world’s champion and superman of the ring. Knowing big, easy going, Jess fairly well, I risk fthe opinion that nothing but need of Money could drive him through @ siege of training and into the ring. ‘He never cared for fighting as fighting—the way Dempsey does. It was just a Way to avoid poverty with Jess—an easy way because of his @reat bulk and strength. He left a a8 a teamster to begin fighting. He kept on fighting becauso there was a good living in it. When he beat Johnson for the championship Re saw wealth ahead and went after i There's just one possibility of Willard’s jeing anxious to go through with the “Dempsey match arranged for July 1. While he was champion he became immensely proud of his supremacy among men. At Toledo the blow to his pride, when Dempsey whipped him, was vastly greater than the damage done Dempsey's Bloved fists. Now, with “no other worry on his mind, Jess may have an ambition to beat Dempsey and then retire to the delights of being an oil millionaire with a unique rep- ‘utation as a man of physical prowess, WILLARD’S ADVENTUROUS LIFE. Jess Willard has had an adyen- turous life, Born on the edge of an Indian n, he spent his boy- hood living with an old Indian chief, | riding range on his horses, hunting with the Indians and learning the wild man’s skill, Later he was mar- riet settled down ,to work on Jeffries's defeat at Reno came in, Some one. said to Jess: ice don't you go and lick that nigger? You're big enough.” And tight there Jess quit teaming, He Went to Oklahoma at once, found a boxing club, began work in the gymnasium and asked for a chance to. show he could fight. In a few months he was ‘making good, was fighting In New York rings, was no longer laughed at because of his huge bulk, his awkwardness and his wide smile. Willard was then 6 feet 7 inches tall, neither slim nor stout, but well_proportioned and as strong as an ox.‘ He fought all over the coun- try, sometimes doing well, aometimes hard up for travelling money, He bought a small home for his family in Los Angeles and made that his head- quarters, Then at last he got the match with John¥on, trained «-for months In Téxag, went to Havana when the match was shifted there, and In the end whipped Johnson in twenty-six rounds and became champion, After that it was easy for Jess. There was no one to fight him for a Jong time, and he didnt intend to fight again anyway. He wanted to “clean up" a fortune as a showman. He went from vaudeville to the circus, on salary, and later bought the circus and made good money until America’s going into the war put him out of busines: Then he went down to Texas and Spent his earnings buying oil land and land leases, It's salg he lost # great deal of money there, or had it tied up and useless. He took the match with Jack Dempsey to- gut ready cash — $100,000 — expecting ar easy victory over a much smaller man, He got the cash and a beating ieee fight so one-sided that it was a joke, STRUCK OIL, After that Jess went quietly hone and dropped out of sight. He bought a blg ranch, and when the ofl boom struck Kansas continued his leasing of potential oll lands as far as his finances would permit. Needing money, he went after a return match with Dempsey. According to latest news advices, Willard has been “wildcatting in Greenwood County, Kansas., for sev- eral months, and has been lucky enough to strike a gusher with his first well, opening up a new oll fleld. Holding oil leases on some 9,000 acres of land, he sold leases to other parties for about half a million dollars in the first four days after his well came n So instead of being land poo, Willard is riding the crest of afflu- re, 18 a central figure among a lot of new ofl millionaires, and if he fights will fight only to show the world he js the superman he always believed him- cattle ranges, and later to driving six-) self to be—will fight for satisfaction. horse teal s, freighting a freight station whe was at| to oy wa: of | to restore his personal pride. right, 1921, by Robert Edgrem.) bf Fistic News paicen and Gossi If Tex Rickard will give Mike O'Dowd the terms his manager de- mands for him to meet Mike Gibbons in.a fifteen-round bout at the Gar- den, it is a sure thing that the men will battle there on the night of T 2.

By Alex. Sullivan. NE of the most remarkable O champions in the history of sport arrives in town to-mo row. He is Ralph Greenleaf, of Wil- mington. He 1s the pocket billiard champion of the world. He won the title In 1919 and again in 1920, and cnly recently successfully defended his honors again, In these open tour~ naments he has*faced all the stars of the game, with possibly one or two except.ons—and has not lost a game in any of the three tourneya. Once in a while such a wonderful cue star as is Willie Hoppe In the balkline game loses a match in a big opoa tourney,’ but 80 far Greenleaf hasn't done 50. ‘As was Hoppe !n the angle gamz, so was Greenleaf in “pool,” schooled by his father, who still owns a billiard academy in Wilmington. Before hu was out of knee breeches Ralph was taught the use of a cue and particl- pated in his first world’s champion- ship when only sixteen years old. He made a big hit, too, finishing in the money ahead of several veterans. Greenleaf’s big chance came in 1919, when Frank Taberski, who had won the title the season previously, re- fused to defend his crown in the open tourney arranged by the Brunswick- Balke-Collender people, He was then only nineteen years old, and to-day 1s but twenty-two, being the youngest player that ever won a “pool” title.
