Aug. 1.U a report emanating from up-tat la to receive any credence. It will b many months before Jeee WlUrd It ready to don the (lores train In defense of hie newly acquired heavyweight championship. As a matter of fart, the new title holder Is not In condition for a hard contest, and he would be Jeopardising hla claim to tl.ono.OW to engage In a rlnf battle with a serious contender before another half year. The tale float out of Rochester, and but for (act that It la stteeted to by a half dosen reputable business men. who bar a taken oath aa to tt truthfulness, the rumor would have to be taken with a few grains of saline sprinklings. Th's la the atory: While Wlllerd waa mobilised In Roches ter. with the clrcua that pays Mm something- like tSOO a week for performing prodigal feaU of the plalna, with a lit tle boxing on the aide, Manager Tom Jonea scored the town for a heavyweight to put on the gloves with Wlllard for three "friendly'' round. The loquacious Jonri c introduced to a alaeable tollow. who announced hlm eelf aa Fred Fulton (Mr. Fulton has een fighting profeaalonally for fiva eara ever elnce the muahroom "White Hope" crop began to .appear. In fact, tV'jlton waa one of the pljneer "Hopes." along with Wlllard and Carl Morris). J mo Informed FVlton that no rough stuff was to be Indulged In. That auited '.Mr. Fulton. He was led to the camp, , he glove wore adjusted and time was i nld. tiamt la Kaoekea Dowa. Wlllard was feeling rather moodlsh, and raked out a long left hook that would liave Jolted Fulton Into the arm of Morpheua. had It reached Its mark. Ful-(-n ducked the blow, and as he came up r caught Wlllard unawarea with a right awing to the Jiw. The knees of B!g .tM sagged and ho sank to the sawdust, , It was a clean knockdown. Wlllard took a count, regained his feet and finished out the exhibition In good sbapa. Only the circus attaches. Including a number of cowboya. and ecvwal buslnee men, saw the exhibition. Nothing was " raid about the Incident until a few days later, when cne of the cow-punchers aug yited that t purse be Collected to have Wlllard take on Fulton In a regular t,uvth. .. . , . TlietV how It all came out . Of course, - the delulls were easy to get, and WlUard i.uw bears the stigma of having been f.i. wt-Ml a; roe die became champion of the ' i iM, This occurred on May 14, . last. If tVe story Is to-be believed. ; "We refuse t 1 commit ourselves, having fllohed this liein from Otto Floto. ' Take It for what li la worth. Wlllard has neither den 13 ifr affirmed the occurrence. About two weeks ago Wlllard was allowing up around Massachusetts. Jones .'. again Issued a call for volunteers to boa " with the champion. One evening a tall, tardv-halred giant aaked for a chance at . Jess. Jones acquiesced. Holds Ills Owa. The unknown boxed three rounds with Wlllard and carried him along at a fast . pace. So fast It waa that ' after the bruab Wlllard took the at ranger aside and told him that with a 1UU more sea " aonlng be might develop Into a fairly good fighter. The eewoomer thanked Wlllard for the praise, and said that he hoped to fight htm for the title some day. Jess smiled , and said that ha hoped the other would reach that state some day. Aa the . Hand giant was leaving the arena an old friend nearly ran. Into him and ex claimed: "Hello, Bandy, what are you doing around here? Trying to steal Wll lard's title while Ms back la turned T" Inquiry by Wlllard led to the faot that his opponent waa Bandy Ferguson, who has been la the fighting game for over twelve years. "No wonder he knew so much," said Wlllard. . te'LOUGULttf NOW OWNS THE L0NQWO0D OUP FOR HIS VERY OWN Manrice E. McLoughlin, the red-headed wonder from the Pacific coast, who has been tearing1 up things in the tennis world for the last fire or six years, has just permanently annexed the famous Longwood cup, having won from R. Norris Williams, tho holder of the championship at present, in a fiercely-played challenge nutch. It was the third time McLoughlin had won the cup, and it is now his own. McLoughlin list year received a rating never given to any other player. England placed him as the best player in the world, and the United States ranking committee set him at the head of the list for this country. The photographs show him in actioa On the left he is illustrated as he starts a backhanded stroke, and next is the impact of the stroke. A posed picture of the champion is followed by the finish of the backhand stroke. Crawford, ff I... ftrnnk. fhlla.... Word, I'wmn... I Mallei. N.

LOWELL'S THEORIES FAIL TO STAND PRACTICAL TEST NEW TORK, Aug. 7,Dr. Lowell of Harvard university. In a speech to the seniors, said: "A man reaches his full physical growth when he la II or 1 years old. and by the time he Is 23 he Is begin ning te lose his keener perceptions, so tst this age may be called the physical maximum. IT. Lowell probably never Investigated tn eareer of one Robert Fltsatmmons, .ugtllt. , Fttaalminona became champion of the. world when be was 34 years old. ritsslmmons fought In the ring for thirty four rears, and he certainly didn't reach Ma "physical maximum" at the age of 21. if a man Is at his best at 33. how can any one explain the faft that nearly all ollege athletes who live end train scien tifically In college Improve In sthletta I llity for several years after sra 1 u -Mlr.g? Very few athletes reach the . height of their physical power or stop ; growing at ths age of 23. TEXT OF THO LATEST NOTES FROM W. A. ROURKB TO ONE JAMES M'QILL Or DENVER, COLO. The management of the Omaha base ball olub notes with satisfaction that the management of the Denver base ball club recognises without reservation the validity of the principles Insisted on In the several communications which this olub haa addressed to the Denver olub wKh regard to the use of submarine and hidden mines In Rourke park the princi ple that Ilourks park la ths horn and domicile of the Omaha clubi that the character and purpose of the players on the Omaha club must first be aacer talned before any use of submarines or hidden mines may be brought Into play or before the happiness of the players of ths Omaha club and the fans who sup port ths Omaha club and take an aotlv Interest In Its welfare shall be Jeopardised by such methods of warfare. The manaaement of the Omaha base) ball olub Is, however, keenly dlaappolnte4 to find that the Denver baa ball olub regard Itself a exempt from the obliga tion to observe these principles, even on Booster day, by what tt believes the pol icy and practice of the management of tho Dea Molne base ball olub to be In the present pennant race, with regard to other neutrals. 1 Tho Denver baa ball olub will readily understand that tho management of the Omaha base ball olub cannot discuss the policy of tho manasament of the Des Moines base ball club with regard to Its attack on other neutrals, suoh as the Lin coln base ball elub, and that It must re gard the oonduct ef other belligerents aa Irrelevant to any discussion with the 'Denver elub of what this management regards aa grave and unjustifiable vio lations of the right of Omaha fana by th Denver commander. ' Such an Inhuman aot as that com mitted by the Denver club on Booster day, however Justifiable tho Denver club may deem it, th. management of the Croaha club believes is an unpardonable ofienss against th sovereignty of a neu tral nation, It never being doubted that. far as the Western league race Is concerned, th Omaha club Is strictly neutral, and If such practices are con- tlnued la the future the management of the Omaha base ball club shall regard PaL IS CHAMP RACQUET SMASHER CF THE WORLD NEW TORK, Aur. T T. R. Pell's re- nt boast that he 1 the world's cham ploa smasher of tennis racquets, may l.ve been made In the spirit of teat, but tils claim to tbe title Is not likely to go long unchallenged. His record of twenty, two ra-qulit a put out of clmmlasloa In a eeaaon that is stril young is undoubt edly a Urge number, yet It would be a r :.iu to supvone that Pell stands alone in his gtcry. MICHIGAN HAS SUPPLY OF FRESHMAN MATERIAL DETROIT. Mich.. Aug. T.-Coach Douglass of the University of Michigan freshmen foot ball squad announces that among the promising gridiron perform ers to enter Michigan this fall will be a brother of "Brute" 1'ontlus. The younger brother of Fontlua Is only 17 years of age, and now weighs l) pounds, with room for 200 as soon as he grows a bit older. He Is a full back and made that poaltlon on the Ohio Allstate Prep. School eleven last fall. Douglass Uo ix pacts a recruit from the Oak Park item, made famous by Coach Zuppke of Illinois. This lad la a back and goea with a big reputation. Douglaae a)s that he wants to continue to coach fresh men teams at Michigan until he gets one that by hook or crook will beat the var sity some afternoon. Ha nearly had such a victory to bis credit when he had Maulbetsch for a back, but he didn't quite uiaka It. 4" rasa f Rlrkaaemd.

Dine, Omaha branch manager of the Qoodyear Tire and Rubber company, aa be pointed to a thlrty-flve-foot chut which had just been Installed. "This will mean that wo can do the unloading of regular ship ments Into our stock rooms la on hour now. It used to take us eight hours. Ouess that will ael." them as deliberate unfriendly acta and shall act accordingly. Thus the management of the Omaha base ball club warns th maiuurement of tbe Denver base ball club that If th latter party deliberately resorts to th use of submarines and hidden mines, for Instance, any superabundance of slug ging by Submarine Oalloway or by any over-Indulgence of curving by Mitchell In tho contest to be atag-ed on th Bab bath, tho management of tho Omaha club shall take desperate measure to protect Itself even though tt bo detrimental to tho welfare of the Denver club In tts chances for ultimate victory In tho pen nant raoe. Therefor shall tho Denver base ball club consider itself warned and shall control Its own destiny and aa far as this baa ball club Is concerned, responsi ble only to Itself for failure In Its pur suit for Western leagus honors.

Smith opened the Inning with a single to right and he was sacrificed to second by Jones. A single to left by Clark counted Smith. Clark was nipped stealing and Collins flew out. One ruu. two hits, ao errors. NOW. . Bmlth stepped to the plate and the first ball pitched was a ball. Umpire Weaver called th second ball pltohed strike, whereupon Bmlth hauled off aad hooked his left to the ump'e jaw. Th umps promptly threw up his gruard and retaliated with a lipping uppercut which cauaht Smith square on tho chin. Ceulth went down for th count of seven, but was up again and he rushed to a clinch. They broke snd coming out of the clttioh, Weaver drove home a short jab to the wind. Emltct ducked to cover and started stalling. The umps was caught ff hla guard. He rushed In and began to ahowwr rights and lefts on Smith, the latter putting up a good exhibition of stall ing. As Weaver began to rush la doe Smith darted back, set kiiusvtf and put ting all hla force behind th blow toppled the umps with a straight right to the law. it was a clean knockout Declares Crawford Is the Hardest Slug Artist of All Time NEW TORK, Aug. 7.-Hugh Jennings says Crawford la the hardest hitting batsman of anjr time. Crawford leads in long hits, which goes a good way toward proving Jennings' assertion. Tho matter, however, has Its ramifications. There are, or have been, batters who drove tho ball away from the bat with as much velocity as Crawford imparts, but who didn't make as many Ions hits because thsy didn't have as much loop to the drive. The ball went stralghter and hadn't tho Crawford lift to carry long distances, that Is, the lift and fcie Impetus combined, the compound force which Crawford excels In bestowing. Delehanty, Lejole and Anson are three who probably landed as hard aa Craw ford, but sent the ball away on a line oftener. As a hard straightaway batter Anson never had a superior. Zimmerman aad Baler are two of th beet of the pres ent at driving the leather with dean. swift velocity U seems to jump like swift pUch and Wagner In his heydcy could hit It through an Infield so fast th only way to locate It was by Us whistle. Keep your eye on Jacques Four- nler of th White Sox as a savage hitter. When be doe land good there len t any body can mak th ball spring- oft th wood with better applied power oleaner speed.
