Lux, who Is from Kansas City, was
breezing along nicely in his bout with
McCarthy until he accidentally forgot
to duck one of Johnny's terrible right

gained his composure, but stepped out
to meet McCarthy and another right to
the jaw put him ho rs-de-combat.

BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
Jess Willard, world's heavyweight
champion, who has seen fit to remain
in retirement for many months while
worthy challengers have been clamor
ing for a chance to wrest his title
from him, has been shown up In his
true colors.
There are many who have considered
the "champeen" saffron clear through
while others have held him up as be
ing a mark for those who seek cheap
advertising by challenging him, but
when Wilard refused his assistance in
aid of a pariotic carnival to be held in
Philadelphia next Saturday night, even
going so far as to turn down an offer
of $30,000 for a six-round bout with
Jack Depsey, while the latter has ex
pressed himself as willing to appear
for nothing, Willard has shown the
yellow streak.
On August 21, 1918, Jimmy Dough
erty, of Philadelphia, with Commander
F. R. Payne, U. S. N., conceivej the
idea of inviting Willard to appear in
the big carnival at Philadelphia. Re
ceipts, after the expenses had been
taken out, were to go to the permanent
benefit funds of the Army. Navy and
Marine Corps. This show was to start
off the campaign for the fourth lib
erty loan. A telegram, explaining de
tails in brief, was sent to Willard.
Dempsey Invitation Spurned,
Ed Smith, sporting editor of a Chi
cago paper, was empowered to visit
Willard, then in Denver and Colo
rado Springs, offering the champion
$30,000 win, lose or draw, for a six
round contest at the Philadelphia Na
tinnal League baseball park. It was
explained that Dempsey was giving his
services free of charge.
Here is the result of Smith's inter
view with Willard In the shape of 1
wire to James F. Dougherty, Leiper
ville, Pa., which has just been made
public:
'Absolutely Impossible to get WII
lard. Spent two days with him. He
gives as a reason the shortness of time
in which to train, business engage
ments of importance that already have
been postponed too far,. and lack of in
terest in professional fighting for
money at the present time. I want you
to know I did my very best possible
for you and that I would stick here
longer and try to Induce him further
if I thought there was - a possible
chance of getting to the ship position.
Will advise you further by letter upon
my return home.
(Signed) ED. W. SMITH.
Immediately the following letter was
filed from Philadelphia:
t Letter Is Explanatory.
"September 4, 1918.
Mr. Ed. Smith, Chicago, 111.: Dear
Sir Your wire received. Note Wil
lard's reference fighting for money;
have signed agreement with Dempsey
for six rounds with Willard in Phila
delphia, agreeing to box without re
ceiving a penny, absolutely free, and
all net proceeds to be turned over to
citizens' committee for benefit ' sol
diers and sailors. Having made Wil
lard a generous offer and been refused,
here is his opportunity to show any
real patriotism he may have by ac
cepting Dempsey's offer to box free for
benefit of sailors and soldiers. Rumor
he offers to box Dempsey in Colorado
Springs for patriotic benefit. If his
offer is prompted by real patriotism
and he desires to show the world that
he is no slacker and wishes to'do his
bit, he will come to Philadelphia, as
the receipts at Colorado Sprines will
be vastly less than at Philadelphia,
consequently a bout at the Springs will
do much less good for the enlisted men
than if held in Philadelphia. If he ac
cepts, Dempsey has promised to make
date acceptable to Willard, so that he
can have all the time he needs for pur
pose necessary to his business or per
fecting his physical condition. If he
does not accept this offer, 2 shall offer
a bout for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world which I consider
Willard will not profit by his refusal,
this contest to take place in Philadel
phia between Dempsey and the best
man to be obtained on September 28,
1918, in order to inaugurate the fourth
liberty loan.

"I indorse this. Lieutenant-Commander

Citizens' Committee."
Willard Declared Through.
Willard is evidently, flunking around
Colorado Springs dodging opportunities
to assist in patriotic work such as tha.
Philadelphia benefit would be. He is
said to be combining business with
pleasure. One explanation from him
is that he went to Denver to confer
with wealthy oil operators while an
other is that his wife's poor health
sent him to the high lands of Colorado.
Willard has said that he has booked
a number of boxing bouts for the
benefit of the Red Cross to be held at
Colorado Springs, but if he has, no
body but himself knows anything
about It.
It Is generally regarded in pugilistic
circles that Willard is through an

have Its proper fling. And now Mur
