Jess Willard Bocum to havo taken all tho immediate pep out of his offer to box for the benefit of the lied Cross. His statement that ho does not care to havo the af fair muiie a championship event and Ithe stipulation that it shall be for ten rounds only, probably will serve to anaUe the fight fans of tho country sit tip and wonder why they ever fell for such a proposition anyway. If Fred Fulton accepted such an of If'cr and should it happen that lie was able to put over the crushing finish ing punch, ho would be acclaimed the heavyweight champion of the world without any further notice. But Fulton would bo foolish to listen to such a proposition, it would cost him a con siderable um to prepare for the bout, il'he Hed Cross would benefit very lit tle from such a contest, for fight, fans could not be bilked into attending a burlesque. ' Jess might do better if ho offered to take on half a dozen challengers, three rounds each, for there would bo little danger to his jaw in such encoun ters, the exertion would not be so preat and there would not bo so much .trouble in counting the shekels.
