Jake Schaefer of San Francisco Is the leading rhallenger. He Is the only man who has teen able to lake the title away from Willie since 1903. Jake did It here In 1921 hut returned it to Willie shortly afterward. Jake is at the top of hfs game right now ms he has shown In exhibitions here during the last few weeks.

Heretofore he has lacked con fidence in championship play. Kamatare Su/ukl. the Japanese, Is an unknown quantity.
