Cal., Mar. 24 Ml Now 49 years of iage and weighing 300 pounds, Jess Willard, who won the heavyweight boxing title from Jack Johnson in 26 rounds In 1915, Is con templating a return to the rjng. He said he planned to go In training Im mediately and would seek four round exhibition bouts with Jack Dempsey, to whom he lost the title in Toledo, Ohio, in 1019, and with Johnson, from whom he won the crown. Willard has been away from the ring for some ten odd years. Re cently, when ordered to show cause why he had not paid a civil Judg ment, the former champion said Tils various real estate and meat market ventures had failed and that he was broke. At that time he said his as sets were 25 cents. REPORTED KXECl'TION DENIED second round. Pirate Fans Agog Over Reports Of Catching "Finds' i : ' PITTSBURGH IIP) Followers of the Pittsburgh Pirates are "gaga" over the nice things being reported from the Pacific coast about the two catching "finds." Bill Brenzel and Hal Finney have been the sensation of the Pirates' training tour to date and Manager George Gibson, once a great back stop himself, makes no secret of the fact that he thinks both are going to be stars. And in these days, when good catchers are mighty scarce, and the pilot who picks up one good young backstop in a season Is searched for horseshoes, It's little wonder GIbby, with two bright prospects on his staff, Is tho envy of rival managers. Scouts' reported early this spring that the catcher famine that has ruled for two years would be even worse in 1932. Tho Pirates, without a veteran of any class on the roster, made fran tlo efforts to land a seasoned re ceiver, but failed. GIbby pinned his faith In Finney and Brenzel and the way the two have been performing, It appears his enthusiasm Is justified. Of course. It's a little early to get a definite line on the pair, but the Bug management says t Is willing to go -into the National league race urlHi tho Vinnlrat-nnnlntr rionnrt-monf an it Rt fin tin. i : ) . Coombs conducts a baseball coach. ing school at Duke, and last spring 145 candidates came out for the freshman team. These were cut to 40, but others had the opportunity of playing Intramural baseball. In the building program at Duke, amplo provision was made for a baseball playing field, with stands that will have a seating capacity of 9000. Duke Itnseliall Popular Last year the average attendance at Duke's baseball games played at home was about 2000. In 1930, it waa even greater, probably because the Coombs team of that year was a winner. At the end of 1930 nine Duke players went to the majors or minors to play more baseball. Prospects for this year are not so good. Coombs said. He has two seniors on the varsity nine that he expects to do big things. Coombs formerly played big league baseball, and is one of the few pitchers ever to win three games In a world's series. That was in 1910, when he was hurling for the Athletics against the Chicago Cubs.

The best Bennett could get was a draw, and a shady one at that. The bout no sooner started than Fraser slumped to the canvas from a low blow. He was given a three minute rest and got off to a slow pace. Bennett grabbed the second, third and fourth rounds but heavy body blows slowly cooled him off and Fraser caught up with him, and to many of the fans appeared to have a slight edge at the finish.
