It is confidently be loved among sporting men that Life and Career of Our New World's Champ-Jess Willard Jess Willar was born Dec. 29, 1887, in Pottawatomie county, Kansas. At 14 he was a tall, slim boy, as big as any man, and he undertook a man's work— cow-punching. Willard soon had to abandon this as none of the cow ponies were high enough ln the withers to keep his feet off the ground. He was more than six feet tall at 16 and at 22 had attained his present heighth of 6 feet 6 inches. But Willard was no reed. That apparent slenderuess carried with it powerful, well apportioned muscles and Willard's compan ions, finding that none was a match for him in the rough cow boy games of wrestling and box ing, persuaded liltu to try his skill ln the squared circle as a professional fighter. Willard did. The first fight of which there is any record was with Loula Fink, in February of 1911 at Sapulpa. Okla.. the town which gave Carl Morris to th* ring. Willard lost on a foul in 10 rounds. Then followed five knockout victories In a row. One of these went 11 rounds but four rounds was the limit for the others.

A few weeks later one or the best fights of his career took place, when he stopped Soldier Kearns, a tough heavyweight, in eight rounds. A demonstration of Willard's punching power resulted ln a ring tragedy on August 22, 1913, when he kuocked out "Bull" Young In 11 rounds at Vernon, Cal. Young died the next day. Willard had since left the wing of Charles Cutler and put himself in charge of Tom Jones, manager of Ad Walgast. He stopped a fellow in two rounds at Fort Wayne.

Westgate of this city has ap plied for a patent on an automat-, in umpire he has invented that records strikes and balls, returns the hull to the pitcher, aud pre sents a right or left hand dummy batter by a simple twist of the wrist. The device has been test ed by league pitchers and they declare it ia accurate to the frac tion of an inch. TtTOnslsts of a backstop eight feet square provided with dummy batters, one right and one left handed, cleverly painted thereon. Between these two batters the figure of a catcher (all figures being life size) is painted. The strike-recording device is be tween the two batters, and one or the other of the latter Is auto matically covered up, so that the target presented la the same as a pitcher would face on the ball field. Extending towards the pitcher, for a distance of 20 feet, is a strong frame, covered on the top and both sides by heavy netting. The ball, as it bounds from the backstop, either strikes against the netting and eventually reaches an Inclined alley, or bound starlght back and goes Into the alley part way between the backstop and the pitcher. The result Is the same, aa It is re turned to the pitcher's box. League and amateur pitchers declare the device Is great for "warming up" work, as no catch er is necessary, and in practising control of the ball or new curve*. The eye of the umpire also can be tested by allowing him to call balls and strikes on any number of balls, and then compare his judgment and score with that of the automatic recording device, which, ln the meantime, is con cealed.
