Show WILLARD NOT OVERLY EAGER FORJAHLES Suggests That Contenders Have Elimination Tourney; Tour-ney; Wolgast's Comeback Come-back Is Surprise. By T. S. ANDREWS. Special to The Tribune. ; MIL WAUKEK, Wis., Doc 9. Jess Willard, world's heavy weight champion, is not eager for many -more battles in the ring, .less has reached that sf ae hoth iinancially and by reason of af-'e where he would prefer to settle down S to a quiet and peaceful existence. ' ' What is the. use of working your head off to pet in com lit ion to f ig"ht when you have plenty of this world 's goods lor the rust of your life.7'' asked Jess during a chat a few days ago .with the writer. "I do not want to retire without giving someone a chance at my title, ' ' continued Jess, ' ' but f do not intend to meet every challenger who comes along. Let some of these contenders con-tenders get together and fight it out among themselves and then I can fight the winner for the championship. 1 beat frank Morau in Xew York in ten rounds, but he still thinks he is a real contender. Well, let him fight Fred Fulton and Carl Morris, and if he wins he can have another chance. 1 honestly believe that Fulton is the best of the entire bunch of heavies. I am not saying say-ing this because of any desire to avoid the others, but because I really think it to .be a fact. 1 do not care about going into training for a month or so, except to do light work, and would prefer my first match in January. However, How-ever, Tom Jones can settle that when he comes to Chicago. Will Live in Chicago. "There has been talk "of my family and myself moving to California at once and for all time. This is not true. My wife likes California, but my business is here at present, and we will remain unless something unforeseen should happen. hap-pen. Some day we may go there, but not now. ''The story about my weighing over 300 pounds is another false statement. I scale between 235 and 270, which is my normal weight when in fairly good shape, as can easily be seen when 1 say that my fighting weight is from 24$ to 253. I keep in fair shape all the time. I expect to have two battles bat-tles between the first of the year and summer, possibly three, but no more. As to my future plans, I cannot say at this time. Tom Jones will probably ar-range ar-range for another tour next summer, jTS but if so it will no doubt be the last one."' Jess is not a bit heavier now than when he started to train for Morau last spring; in fact, he seems to be in excellent ex-cellent shape, and with no more superfluous super-fluous flesh than it is necessary for a man of his build to carry. Ad Surprises 'Em. Ad Wolgast 's evident, return to form is the surprise of the boxing world this season. The Michigan bear cat has been fighting about the country with varying success, but last week he fought the hardest kind of a battle with a tough boy Frankie Russell at Xew Orleans, and over the marathon route of twenty rounds. It was declared a draw, but it proved that the former lightweight champion is still theTe with the stamina and capable of traveling the distance at a strong pace. A year and a half ago the fans would have made a howl against such a match, claiming that Ad was riot in shape for such a test of endurance; in fact, he did not appear to bo fit for a hard scrap half that distance, but here he is today to-day battling over the twenty-round route and against real fighters. Ad is no chicken, as many imagine. He is a little fellow and with a kiddish appearance, appear-ance, and for that reason the fans do not realize that he has been in the game for nearly eleven years ivith out a break. During that time he had many marathon battles, and it is in these encounters that a man's strength and stamina are given the real test. After his displav of stamina in his fight with Russell there is little doubt but that he would be able to go the full distance with Champion Freddv Welsh. Ad is near the 30-year mark, which is two years younger than the champion. Wallace Is Comer. Eddie Wallace, a young Hebrew of Brooklyn, N. Y., is making all the lightweights light-weights sit up and take notice ,iust now. Eddie has been performing in an indifferent way for the past two years, but recently he seemed to take a new ' lease of life and has put so much ginger into his work against the top-notehers that he has risen from apparent obscur- ..- ' iiy to the top rung of fistic fame. Eddie's Ed-die's latest teat was against the champion cham-pion lightweight, Freddy Welsh, at Montreal, where they met in a ton-round no-decision match. The papers in the Canadian city gave the shade to Wallace. Wal-lace. He also put up a wonderful battle bat-tle against Johnny Dundee, much to the disgust of Seotty Monteith, manager of the clever Italian boy, and who, by the way, formerly managed Wallace. Eddie is a mere youngster as yet, being 2 1 years of age, but he has had plenty of experience, having started boxing in Si 1 2. Since that time he has fought some of the best featherweights and lightweights in the country. He must be given credit for his recent showing against the champion, and will figure as a real contender for the lightweight crown. Johnny Ert le, the St. Paul bant a m-woight m-woight and contender for the title held bv Kid Williams, bumped into a surprise sur-prise last, week at Baltimore, when he tackled Biek Loadman, the Erie (Pa.) bantam. Dick, according to the papers of Baltimore, handled Johnny without any consideration, ami mauled him about in a manner that made the St. Paul Kewpie think he was up against Jess Willard. Ertle had been ill prior to this, but, judging from t lie way Load-man Load-man went at him, it would not have mattered much if he had never .been off his feed. Evtle will have to wipe out this Loadman stigma before he can demand much of Williams. Loadman is a great little fighter, his one trouble being be-ing lack of care of himself. A little inn re t hun t wo years ago this sa me fr Dick was matched lo meet Kid Williams Wil-liams in a ten-round bout in Milwaukee, and it was a frost, from an attendance standpoint, because no one ever heard of him. However, Dick gave the champion all the action he desired and had him worried more than once. Then he driit-ed driit-ed about, taking poor care of himself, but it is evident that he has seen the error of his ways, for he is reported as being in great shape now and fightinu like a champion. It is condition that will count with Loadman. and condition alone. Why not match little Dick ami Ertle for a' twenty-round battle at New Orleans? It would surely be a bear of a contest, and t lien the winner could fight Williams for the title. Dick Smith, the light heavyweight champion of Engl a nd. lost his ':! recent re-cent lv to II arry Reeve, who returned to that count rv from An si ralia cv -era 1 months ago.
