Human Truck Wants Huskey Sparring Partner So He Says By TB.ANK O. MEJTKE CI. ST. S. Special Correspondent.) TOLEDO. O.. June 11. Jess Willard today sent out and S. O. S. for sparring rartners, the bigger and huskier the better. "I want only fellow? who-will fight me who will stand up under everything I hand out and who can hit m hack. Hard enough to make it hurt." announced the cHamrion. The sudden determination of Willard o indulge at last in intensive, training, followed quickly on the trail of the announcement that Billy F.oeap. sport writer of Philadelphia, had been named to referee the big fistic clash with Jack Dempsey on the fourth. The selection of Rocap came as a big Furrri. to "the third man" dopesters around these parts. For two weens they had mentioned the name of every famous referee except Kocap. who was overlooked entirely. But tha action of Major Anthony J. Drexel Biddle. president of the Army. Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control, in picking him suddenly has awakened the folks to this fact. Rocap is a good two-fisted Individual. who knows every angle of the boxing game, fearless and impartial and a man ideally suited for so important a task as that which confronts him. There is no possibility of an argument over Rocap. Both fighters, as ell as Tex Rickard and the Toledo Boxing Commission, agreed yesterday to be bound by the action of Biddle's b"ard in the matter of the arbitrator appointment. AVillard apparently arrived at the conclusion today that Jack Hempel and "Walter Monahan have not been providing him with enough rough stuff to fit him for the battle on the fourth, and he declared he would grab, any good looking sparring partners that are obtainable. "Plenty of rough, hard work is what I need and only the toughest kind of sparring partners can give it to me," declared Jess. "I have instructed Roy Archer, my business manager, to scout around for several men. If there are any around the "country that Archer doesn't get into communication with I'll be glad to look over their applications. The main requirement is to be eb!e to force me to fight at least four rounds a day fight, hot box. I've boxed enough. I want to do a little battling now, to try out the power of a few new punches." "Do you plan to increase your work as well as the speed and the earnestness of It?" Willard was asked. "Yes." he answered. "I've been boxing six to seven rounds up to the present time without terrific action crowded into them. But as soon as I can increase my sparring stac I intend to go ten rounds daily perhaps a round or two more-i-and travel all of them at top speed. I'm nearly at fighting weight now. but I need more punching and defensive practice something that I hope I can get from a few boxing partners."

When Larry Doyle, racing in from second base on Heinie Zimmerman's double to right center, crossed the plate in a recent frame between the Giants and the Reds on the Polo

grounds, he broke a string of twentythree consecutive scoreless innings which Hod Eller of the Reds had amassed for himself. Included in the twenty-three runless frames which Eller had pitched were nine innings of hftless ball, which the young right bander hung up at the expense of the Chicago Cubs and a shutout registered in spite of the efforts of the Brooklyn batters. Eller got rid of the Giants in easy fashion in the first inning of the Giant game which broke his streak, but was severely bumped in the second and retired in the third. Cliff Durant, the California millionaire whose hobby is auto racing, plans to compete in a series of races this coming season. Immediately tfter the Indianapolis races he will probably ship his cars on to the speedway at Sheepshead Bay to prepare for the race on June 14. Durant follows the lead of the other millionaires in the racing rame. W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr., and the fate Harry Harkness both raced their own machines and spent fortunes to make auto racing a popular sport in the country. Durant is one of the most efficient drivers now in the racing game, and his one idea is to show the drivers and the motor racing lovers that he is the peer of both Ralph De Palma and Resta. Manager Mitchell of the champion Cubs in an effort to break his team's Commonwealth, were all tied for third place with a total of 151 for the first two round. Wtih fair skies, a cool breee and' the turf firm. It was a grand day for golf grand for players and spectators alike. A huge gallery was on hand when H. C. Lagerblade. of Toungstown. drove out the first ball, and the final race for the national golf title was on. GIVES RAY SCHALK ANOTHER RACE FOR CATCHING HONORS XT tve O'Neill.

I losing streak made several changes in the batting order recently. Pick j replaced Deal at third and was sej lected to lead off in place of Flack, j Lear, who has been occupying a seat

on the bench, was sent to second and held down the cleanup post in the order of going to the plate. Barber, who batted fourth in the games against the Giants, was dropped down a peg, as was Hollocher, who at the Polo grounds was the second j man to face the opposition twirlers. j While the change did not work out i successfully, the new attack was stronger. Eleven hits were regis- ' tered off Pfeffer, and three of them were made by Lear. Ed Konetchy, who for a long time around the National league circuit was known as the Big Train, is going great guns for the Robins this season. Several times so far this season Koney, swinging his big bat with telling effect, has rode over and flattened out the enemy, much to the delight of the Flatbush rooters anc disgust to the opposing mound artist. Around the first stop Koney is playing his usual steady game, and while he continues to set his present fast pace the chances of Jimmy Johnston, Ray Schmandt or Clarence Mitchell, three of Robbie's utility men who are capable of covering the bag, breaking info the game as doorkeeper of the infield are very slight . to say tRe least. - l Pol Perritt evidently believes that j eight or ten thousand dollars in the ! hand is worth twenty thousand in I the ground. He decided to neglect i his oil business to the extent of pitching for the Giants another year. ta m tm. m ttm m a mm, OF lm ir m m m n- if NATIONAL LJEAOtE. Won. Lost.

SIMON WINS PITCHERS' BATTLE In what proved to be the toughest pitchers' battle of his career, Simon triumphed over the doughty Siitas, star portsider of the Indiana Harbor Nationals by merit of his greater endur-

ance. The rarat took plar at the East Chicago ball park twfore a crowd as large as the semi-pro scarries ever draw at that park. With this en incentive and a reputation of Tiering: lost no gamea this season, which reputation th Nationals also enjoyed, the task upon the two twirlers was a hard one and was made. more difficult by reason of a neat side purse. The score lolled alonjr at 3-2 in for of the Peerless and both pitchers were going strong until the eighth frame when Szitas finally crumpled under some terrific slugging by the East Chicago boys. Balls were batted out to the three corners of the field and whn Siitas was finally yanked a five-hit. fiverun rally stared him in the face, two of the wallops going for extra bases. McKula then did the flinging for the Nationals and succeeded in taming the rampant Peerless for the remainder of the game while his mates rushed one more tally over the home station for 3 total runs. This mid-season classic, for so It was with tha two teams, spelled the first defeat for the- Nationals and made the eighth consecutive win for the Peerless. Score: Peerless A.
