Iess than three years later, last March, to be exact, Willard was rated a 8 the possessor of a fortune that ranged between $350,000 and J 500. 000. If this isn't a record for fortune-making, when it is considered that from the time he faced Johnson until the present day the big fellow has fought only 36 rounds, then well buy the cakes. Fistic champions of the past in all fther divisions had a much harder time etting their money. They were not boosted to the position of challengers overnight like Willard. And they had to keep fighting from time to time in order to cash in on the titles they had won. WUlard's share .for fighting Jack Johnson waa supposed to have . been $10,000. but expenses were so great that Willard did not get a dollar, according to both Tom Jones and Jack Curley, his Joint managers at the time. Then the big fellow "vodevilled" for a while at a fat salary, and, finally. In 1918, he raked in $47,500 for boxing Frank Moran ten rounds. So. if it is true that, Willard was clean as Thanksgiving bird when he left Havana, the money he got for fighting Moran Is the only money he has earned with his fists. All the rest has been realized by commercialising his title. riuh Seattle , . Taeoma .-. Portland . Spokane . . Aberdeen . Vancouver Cmb. VanoeaiTer Taeoma . . Port la od . , Seattle . . Spokane ' .

He has recently been at one of the avia tion instruction centers in Italy. Another popular Tale football hero. Captain Fred Daly of the 1911 team, has been assigned to an infantry regiment in service abroad. He enlisted in the French army April 21. 1917, served as a lieutenant In the transport service, and was transferred to the American Expe ditionary Force last September. by the Tigers, and, one and all. they have failed to accomplish the results necessary. Now Bill Donovan is trying it the Bill Donovan jyho pitched the Tigers into their pennant in the old days. Whether Bill will get results that will show at the top of the list re mains to be seen. The going will be hard and a lot of ball games must be won to make the Tigers champions of I the American league. j It often has been remarked quite truthfully, too that the Detroit Tigers needed only tight pitching to enable them to win pennants. If the Tigers had been blessed with that fortunate thing a good pitching staff there is no telling how many pennants they would have corralled In the American league. They probably would have had 'em in a sort of exclusive fashion. Hare Hard Hitters With a lineup reading from left to right : Ty Cobb. Bobby Veach, Harry Heilman, and all the famous sluggers who have disported themselves in Frank Navin's uniform, and a pitching staff lo hold the opposition down to a mini mum of runs, the Tigers certainly would be referred to now as the greatest team that ever played baseball. When Donovan was manager of the Yankees he was credited with being a shrewd handler of pitchers. George Mogridge developed under his manage ment and turned in a no-hit game dur ing his service as Bill's best left-hander. Xick Cullop waa a Btar with Donovan to show him how. Bob Shawkey never amounted to a great deal aa a pitcher until Bill took hold of him. Bill found Slim Love, and calmed Ray Caldwell. He's got the goods. If he has the ma terial to work with in Detroit, he is a man to be justly feared and perhaps famed. PROF. GENS WILL BE DIRECTOR AT BLUE AND GOLD Ryan May Help Train Fred Fulton .

May 18. A novel arrange ment for the Tale-Harvard races this season was decided upon after Captain Hyatt of Tale, and Captain Emmett of Harvard, settled a long drawn out con troversy by flipping a- coin. Neither captain was willing to concede to the other the privilege of holding the an nt:al classic events on their respective cguraes, so when the coin gave the choice to Tale it was agreed that the second varsity crews should meet on tha Harvard course. Tale will therefore send her second varsity eight to pull on the Charles river June 1. while at the same time the first selection eights of the same two univer si ties will meet at New Haven on the Tale course on the Housatonic river. Both of the races will be two miles in length. ami seems to nave the better crew this year; however, there is still plenty of time for the Crimson oarsmen to bet ter the quality of their rowing. The Harvard freshmen have an excellent eight this year and it ia expected that they will carry away the laurels when they pull against the first freshmen team of Yale. , - New Tork. May 19. (I. N. S i Tale's track team will be captain less this year. This announcement va3 made by the athletic authori ties after much deliberation and hesitancy, but there was practically nothing else that could be done. War conditions have reduced Tale to the ordinary good sized college level in membership and athletic strength and the university is clos ing the year with a list of decidedly reduced members and with every athlete enrolled In the military com panies and devoting from three to six afternoons every week to mili tary training. ot to Eater Team Eli will not be formally entered in the intercollegiate track and field meet at Franklin field. May 31 and June 1. It is probable, however, that two or three of the be3t men will be sent to compete in the event, notably Gerald Sweeny and Daniel Ford, njole vaulter and jumper, and Waterman, mile run ner. They will go as individual entries, if at all. The athletic authorities decided that because track athletics form a branch of major sports, with ths present shortage of material, it would be better not to be repre sented at all than to take a chance on making a poor showing with the available men. ' However, tentative plans to participate to some extent in the triangular meet with Har vard and Princeton have been for mulated, but the team has not been definitely organized. No men were sent to the University of Pennsyl vania relay carnival. Is rsprecedcatea The action of Tale authorities in not selecting a track captain is un precedented in the history of the "Big Three" sports, but the ground on which the action was taken seems justifiable. In a formal statement Issued, it was made pub lic that the board had reached tne decision that there is now no man at Yale to whom is rightfully due the honor of being captain. Tale3 freshman team has just been organized and haa held practice meets with the varsity, beating them on two occasions.

Such a man is George K. Mackie Lawrence. Kan. Mr. Mackie is a perpetual member of the handicapping committee at Im portant tournament. He was one of the committee that allotted the handi caps for the Grsnd American Handicap tournament In St. Louis in 191s. and last year In Chicago, and will be one of the five who will check off the marks this season. Use Jsdgmeat. Three years straight as a member of the Grand American Handicap trap- shooting committee Is the best evidence we know of regarding the ability in this line of Mr. Mackie. His excellent judg ment in the placing of shooters caused the Pinehurst (N. C.) Gun club to In vite Mr. Mackie to be a member of their handicapping committee the past few years. Throurh the middle west no handicap committee would be com plete without George Mackie. The Kansan Is a student of the game of trapshooting. He like to play with figures, and consequently he knows just about what can be done by every trap- shot of importance. He doesn't need an Interstate association list of official averages before him to tell you who should stand on the 22 yard mark and who should be placed at the 17 yard Una. ' I Good 8aootr. Tou see. it is not alwaya a good plan to follow the averages 'too carefully. Some me.i can shoot 90 per cent con sistently and never go more than one or two points above that score. To place these men on the 22 yard mark would be outrunning them. Mr. Mackie knows this to be a fact, and be argues for the shooter who has virtually no chance to win at the 1C or 17 yard mark and would be fortunate to break 75 per cent If placed with Arte, Larson, Troeh. New comb and other stars. Mr. Mackie knows the trapshooting game and he also can break his share of clsy pigeons. He is always well up In the averagea Shooters from Washington. Idaho.
