THE big fellow went through a hard workout yesterday.

He has changed his schedule, boxing every morning at 8:30. His sole sparring partner la Jack Hemple. Los Angeles is unable to supply another heavyweight able to rough around with the champion. Hemple 's job is getting harder every day as Willard rounds into fighting condition. Jess boxed for nearly half an hour yesterday and went through another half hour of dancing around, throwing the medicine ball, using elastic pulling machines, and performing a number of acrobatic feats of his own invention, all calculated to harden the punch-resisting muscles of his huge body.

THAT there is something more to bowling than a good arm and a clear eye is evident from the pase of Frank Caruana of Buffalo, who makes SALAD Time and Age. WHEN he was young and fuU of "pep" He moved along with springy step, And felt so spry and nifty.

He sang and whistled in his glee And if he'd ever see The ripe old age of fifty. Then In his sixty-seventh year His limbs were strong, his eye was clear. His troubles were not weighty; He said "pooh, pooh'." to Father Time And figured he'd be In his prime About the age of eighty. So time went gliding swiftly by And he was still so young and sprj The world sat up and wondered. When eighty milestones had been passed He calculated he would last Until at least a hundred.

And so it. is with age and time. A man may still be in his prime. Although his years are plenty. But if we don't conserve our "pep," And laugh at time and watch our step.

We may be old at twenty. Quite So. Kip Tan Winkle went to sleep over a bowling match and slept for 20 years. But the game has Improved wonderfully since then. Another theory Is that Rip had a row with his barber and slept for 20 years to get even with him.

Speaking of Rip Van Winkle, see where the Browns woke up and put on a winning streak. According to the Internal Revenue Bureau underwear is a luxury. Looks iike a skin game. York has 40 men in the aviation branch of her police force. They are all "fly" cops.

Wil lie ixughiin had the better of Joe Eagen in 10 rounds here last night. porting writers agreed. ir the evidence is the same he has discovered two important facts, to wit: If the "natural" balls inclined toward the right he deduces from this the fact that the alleys "hang" or drop toward the right; if the ball rolls slightly to the left he infers that the inclination is toward the left. Few if any alleys are perfect, and the inclination Is present even in American Bowling Congress drives, sometimes. Having discovered the slope, the rest is simple.

Caruana applies his cure for it. If the slope is toward the right, he bowls with a heavy hook ball that is. one in which the twist is applied from right to left and which "hooks" rather sharply into the 1-3 pin space for a strike. If the inclination Is to the left, he uses the "back-up" ball, in which the twist is applied from left to right, the ball shooting directly for the head pin and breaking" sharply into the 1-3 pocket an instant before contact. His first apearance on the Washington alleys was a proof that Caru ana theory is not mere conversation.

He rolled his test frame and then started bowling a match in 100 tries thereafter he missed the 1-3 pocKet just twice 98 times out of loo: His first two frames on Wash ington alleys were 219 and 202, made with an alley ball and in his street 8noes: in applying twist Caruana put me juice on me call with his fourth finger. He varies his speed to suit aney conditions. Webster Captures County Track and Field Title Again Bsasa-saassssBSBBBsa) Lincoln, Real Star of the Victorious Team, Able to Compete in Discus Only.

Mr. Employer, in getting together a sales organization that will win. When he finished "Willard showed me a new pair of scales that had just been added to his gymnasium equipment. They were strictly accurate Jess said. He added that he didn't want to fool himself about his condition, and that from this day on he will gauce his workouts to perfect lila fighting form by July 4.

Then Willard stepped on, stripped to the akin, and, with the scales balanced exactly, his weight was 260 pounds. That's Just eight ounces more than I weighed th night I boxed Moran," said Jess, laughing. "I have nearly seven weeks to work for Dempsey. I Intend to weigh 250 pounds on July 4. I'll take off ten pounds and gradually harden myself up at that weight.

My weight at Havana was given out at 243 pounds, but on the day of the fight, as I remember, was exactly 249." I asked Willard why he didn't stop Moran. Broke Knuckle in Moran Bout. Ml WAS in poor shape to fight," he said. "When I began my training at the Chicago Athletic Club I rode home in an open auto one day after a workout and caught a bad cold and had a touch of pneumonia. I thought I'd have to call the fight off, but went through with it because I was sure I could beat Moran easily, anyway.

There were two reasons why I didn't knock Moran out. One was that I did not have the and the other was this:" Here Willard held out his right fist, showing me the first knuckle, which had been broken and driven bark about hair an inch. did that in the beginning of the fight." he said, "by hitting Moran a right uppertut on the chin. Can you beat that? Hit him on the chin and broke rhy hand. I just happened to catch him on that one knuckle instead of with the whole fist.

After that I could not hit a hard punch with my right, and I wasn't able to knock him out with my left. That was all there was to it." Has Been Training on the Quiet. JESS says the right mauley is as good as ever, even with a flattened knuckle. I have seen a steady change in his condition since he began training here. He admits himself that although he has been gradually getting into shape since the match was first talked of.

he found the workouts hard at first. "I was slow and soft," he exclaimed, "but that has been wearing out with every day's work. I am beginning to feel like fighting again. When I go to Toledo for the last four weeks of work I'll get into better condition than in Havana. I'm going to make this my big fight.

This is the one I want to be remembered by when I quit the ring. I don't know much about Dempsey, but I hope he is as good as they say he is. I haven't made any study of his fighting style. I'll do. that in the ring.

I'm not worrying in the least about Dempsey. I expect to beat him without any trouble, but I'm going to be in the best condition I can get into, just the same, I know that if I am in shapo no man living it going to beat me and I believe I ran beat any man I ever saw in 12 rounds If I cut loose the way I intend to this time. I know a decision in a 12-round bout is an uncertain thing if both men are on their feet at the finish, and I'm not taking any risk of throwing away my title. I'm rot going to be too sure of the ref eree" judgment, no matter who he is. I don't know who will referee, but I expect to make it mighty easy for him to decide.

A lot of fighting can be done in 12 rounds. I know I have the endurance to fight all day nnd 12 rounds won't worry mo at all. Dempsey hasn't my endurance. He almost blew up in four rounds with "fat Willie Meehan." "He doesn't have to fight long fights, as a rule," I suggested. "He ends most of them in a couple of rounds." Willard laughed.

JeM Doesn't Fear Wallop. A FTER what Johnson did mme at Havana before to I knocked him out I won't worry about Dempsey'a punch." he declared. "It was in one of the early rounds that he broke my ribs with a wicked left hook. That was an awful fsjneh. I felt a sharp pain and heard them eraek ami knew something ns gone, but it didn't bother me through the rest of the fight.

While it was warm I didn't feel any distress. They only hurt ine when the fight was over and I had cooled of. He broke vnj cheek bone with a rlgltt hund mash later.

shake me or affect my fighting In the least. No matter how hard Dempsey can hit he won't hit me any harder than Johnson did, and any punch he can land won't have any more Just here a moving picture director came in and asked if he could use Hemple in a fighting scene with Willard. In the scene Jess is attacked by a band of Villa's men In Mexico and routs them with his fists. Jess scowled. "No you can't." he said.

"I want to save Hemple to box with. I can't get any one to take his place if I lay him up by hitting him with my bare fists. He's having a tough time as it is. Another thing. I want you to get a dozen good tough fellows for that scene and tell them to do their est to lay me out.

I can't hold back my punches and make It look like anything. Get a tough bunch." "I'll be glad when I get through with this picture stunt," growled Jess when the director had gone.

TOLEDO, May 17. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, came out in a most emphatic statement today against Matt Hinkle of Cleveland as referee of the big bout July 4. Hinkle is the man who lias offended the Toledo Boxing Commission on several occasions and who is pulling big State political wires to land the job. Keacns, however, does not believe that Hinkle is competent for the job and inclines to Ollie Pecord of this city, the commission's official referee, as the third man in the ring. Kearns said today: "Why should we take chances on Willard bulling Dempsey around and taking advantage of his greater weight? Why should we allow him to hug and clinch? "A referee who is incompetent permits that, but a competent official with courage would disqualify a man for doing it.

I do not consider Hinkle competent. I'm not saying that Willard will make that kind of a bout, but I don't want to take chances. I don't want this match to be won on a foul. "As soon as Willard arrives we will get together and dispose of the referee question. I don't believe we will huve anv difficult' In reaching agreement on a man." Many Partner for Dempsey.

Dempsey and Kearns arrived in town early yesterday. They will pick out training quarters immediately. It is planned to have Dempsey, Kearns, Billy McCarney and Spider Kelly of San Francisco, whose job will be to keep everybody in the camp in good spirits and full of "pep," occupy the major cottage.

m. Caruana, who has flashed across the sport firmament like-a stray comet, is showing at the Washington alleys in a special match with Otto-Stein of this city. He is one of the most remarkable bowlers in the country and has conquered the lead ing stars in matches, although un known in the Middle West one year ago. According to Caruana a bowler's head was meant for use, not ornament. And he employs his top-piece to good advantage.

One of his specialties is his often demonstrated ability to win on the other fellow's home alleys. But all that Caruana requires to feel that he is on even terms with the enemy is permission to bowl two frames, four balls after that he is ready to roll for funds or friendship. It is in the rolling of those four balls that most of Caruana's gray matter is exercised. Tests the Alleys First. In matches Caruana uses a twist ball "screw," he calls it; but those four halls are different.

There 13 nothing "on" them except a high polish. No "English" or twist is appliod; they are "natural" straight balls. He rolls them down at ordinary -peel straight for the one-three pocket. If it falls a little to the right and hits the three pin, or to the left and hits the head pin, Caruana says Aha' to himself. Then he shoots two more Just to confirm the testimony of the first two balls rolled.

The Phils are only one position ahead of the Rickeyites. who are gaining confidence as a result of capturing the series from Boston on the Braves" home field. 'Sherdel In Great Form.

Yesterday's 4 2 victory for the Cards was due largely to the splendid pinch pitching of Sherdel who. in the third inning relieved Oscar Tuero, with two on and one out. But for Snyder's throw to left field, in the endeavor to get Xlaranville at third. Sherdel would have blanked the side without a run in that rouna Sherdel kept the eeven hits off his delivery well scattered for the rest of the game, although the Braves made one more count in the seventh, when two singles, with an infield out between, netted a cont. Because his team gave him a lead of three runs before he was taken out of the box with the score 3 0 In favor of the Cardinals( Tuero officially undeservedly is credited with the game.
