to Rickard's proposal.

Willard did bis boxinir: for the
first time today .attired . in fighting
trunks, instead oi the fuu-leneth
tights he has worn heretofore, and
there was a murmur of . admiration
from the crowd of 1,500 persons
wnen he climbed through the rones
When Willard started tugging at
the weights, the crowd sunr
toward the ring to carefullv inspect
his waist line, which has been con
cealed from public eye for three
years, ihere was a slight roll of
tat just above the kidneys, but Wil
lard explained that he can easily re
move this in the remaining three
weeks. -.- i-1-:..
It was revealed that the 'cham
pion is close to his fighting weight
and that lie expects to enter the
ring weighing about 245 ,' pounds,
which will make him four and a half
pounds lighter than when he fought
Johnson at Havana,. ...Willard scaled
252 oounds after the workout Thurs
day. He has reduced about 15
pounds since his arrival here two
weeks ago. -. ,
Willard boxed; eight rounds,
tugged the weights- for a round and
shadow boxed. Walter Monahan
and Jack Hempel went three rounds
each, and Bill Ketchel, the new ar-
dition to the sparring staff, went"
two rounds. Willard dug a left
hook into Ketchel's stomach in the
first round and he folded, uo like a
jackkflife. .

state on July 4. Council Bluffs will
have one of the best ort June 19,
ever staged on that side of the river,
v,hen Charley Peters, the Sarpy
county sheriff, wilt meet Jack Gana
in a finish match, best two out of
three falls.
Each of , the contestants , are
anxious .to make this match par
ticularly, for the winner will be
booked to meet John Pesek or some
other leading heavyweight in the
near future. Pesek has promised to
meet the winner, providing no other
match, with the ieaders in the gams,
interferes. Feters has long wanted
a return bout with the Shelton man,
so will make every effort to ww
Thursday night. ? ,
In the' semi-windup. Jack Solo:
mon will meet Everett" Miller of
Tabor, Ia in a one-fall . finish
match, i This will be Miller's first
appearance is a match near Omaha
and he will try hard to make such
an impression that he will secure
matches with the leaders in . his
class. He will outweigh Solomon
bv a few pounds, scaling at about
175 pounds, to the Omaha man's
J65.
Two Council Bluffs amateur light
weights will wrestle a one-fall finish
match in the opener. Tickets will
probably be placed' on sale, in the
mutts and Omaha today. Promoter
Fieri is makig arrangements to
handle a record at this match and
it is likely that his expectation will
be realized, for the show is attract
ing considerable attention : in and
around Omaha. ,
Fan Writes Letter to
Sporting Editor With
Suggestions on Match
. '
The sporting editor received the
following'letter last" night The let
tei is self-explanatory and needs no
further introduction.
It: calls attention to the error in
dictation in the eighth paragraph,
where the ; party of the first part
should be empowered to name the
referee in the event the parties of
the first part could not agree.
Omaha, JJeb., J une 13. porting
editor, Omaha Bee: Dear sir. In
this morning's paper you show a
copy of the articles of agreement
between Gene Melady and Stecher
and Lewis. ' - -
It appears to me that in ase
either of the wrestlers wanted to
withdraw from the agreement at
a,t!y time previous to the match, he
could easily do so by claiming the
right to name the referee. If the
other contestant denied him . the
r'ght he could be referred to para
graph 8 of the articles.
Don't vou think it would be a
good idea to correct the second sen
tence of this paragraph, changing
the word "secqnd'VO "first."
