for more than a year.
Willard has spent his time travel-
ing around over the cQuntiy with a
circus, drawing a huge salary through
the power of his name, showing the
peepul how he knocked outJack John-
son and brought back the title to the
white race.
Tom Jones, the'"barber, has traveled
with big Jess and has spent most of
his time assuring the newspapers that
Jess would fight whefiever the oppon-
ent w'as found who could stand in the
same ring with Jess without melting
from pure fright at merely beholding
the huge bulk of the world's heavy-
weight champion.
John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett,
Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries and
even Jack Johnson must have chuck-
led themselves almost into hysteria
by this time by the mere consideration
of such a champion--a champion who
dares not, or refuses to fight.
Willard is wrong when he says
there is no one worthy of a match with
him. Even though he is backed by
Tom Jones, Jack Curly and the rest
of them he is wrong. Not only is there
one man who would be acceptable for
a match with the champion, but there
Coach Lundgren loaned the All-
fresh a Varsity battery yesterday aft-
ernoon and for five innings the battle
went to a scoreless tie, the Varsity
winning out by scoring twice in their
half of the last frame.
The yearlings counted once in the
introductory portion of the last inning
but the older team came right back
and pulled the game from the fire.
Saunders and Mattson did the battery
work for the freshmen, while Gariepy
and Morrison represented the Varsity.
Both twirlers were going in great
shape and pitched shutout ball for the,
first five frames. The yearlings' tally
was more or less of a gift, an error,
a hit and a pass ball permitting Knode
to complete the circuit. Brandell's
work was a feature of the Varsity
play, the captain pounding out a long
triple in the first and stealing second
and third in the last inning. In Thurs-
day's game the shortstop secured a
single, triple and a home run. Bran
has all the fielders playing out some-
where near the horizon and his extra
base clouts are terrific drives as a
consequence.
Ruzicka will work in today's game
against the Varsity while Parks and
Glenn will probably divide the work
for the Lundgren outfit. There is a
chance that Glenn may not be out, in
which case Parksey will probably go
the full route, unless Lush is called
into service.
IAKE CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY
BY MIDDLEMEN TO LIFT PRICES
Washington, May 18.-Charges of the
existence of a nation wide trust of
middlemen whose operations are said
to extend to almost every state in
the union were laid before the depart-
ment of agriculture here today.
The charges, made by a nationally
known food producer, officials said,
are supported by "positive informa-
tion," and 'apparently establish "be-
yond doubt the existence of a con-
,piracy to boost prices."
Draft Fearing Mexicans Flee Country
Austin, Texas, May 18.-The exodus
of Mexicans from Texas into Mexico
to evade conscription has already de-
populated many communities, farms,
and ranches of south Texas oftheir
labor supply.
More than 50,000 Mexicans have
crossed the Rio Grande from Texas
during the last two weeks, it is an-
nounced, and they are still trekking
into that territory by the hundreds
each day.
The situation has become so serious
that Governor .Ferguson today issued
a proclamation urging the Mexicans to
remain in Texas, and assuring them
there was little likelihood of them be-
i ng conscripted. "
Thursday will be organized into a
post-season series, if the managers
will confer with Intramural Director
Floyd A. Rowe before Monday night.
Interest in the war and the con-
stant shakeups and losses by recruit-
ing made a fizzle of the regularly
scheduled series as far as most of the
teams weretconcerned. Several class-
es entered teams, but played only one
or two games and some teams did not
come out on the field a -single time.
As a result, teams which were willing
and anxious to play 'were not given any
competition. They will be given a
chance to scrap it out with real ac-
tion in the proposed series. 4
Senior lits have won first place with
a clean list of victories. Fresh lits
and soph engineers are racing for sec-
ond place, and the senior engineers
might have come in for a share of thin
spoils if jhey had played more games.
The standing of the senior lits as
champs will not be affected by the
post-season series, but an opportunity
will be given the other teams to try
for second place.
Only the teams which enter in the
new series will be allowed to play
off postponed games from the regular
schedule. Teams which could not
make a fairly sincere attempt to com-
pete in the last few weeks will be de-
nied the right to play any more games.
Numerals for the winners are prac-
tically assured, in spite of the lax com-
petition, and probably will be voted
on favorably at the first meeting of
the new board of directors of athletics.
Numerals for second place may be al-
TENNIS MATCHES
SET FOR 9 O'CLOCK
All Scheduled Events in lourney Not
Played to Be De-
faulted
All matches in the interclass tennis
tournament must be started this morn-
ing at 9 o'clock, promptly.
Owing to the fact that the tourney
has been running off so slowly those
in charge have announced that the re-
maining matches must be played off
by noon today and that necessitates
an early start. The time for the open-
ing sets is 9 o'clock.
Those teams which do not report
will forfeit and matches not played
will be defaulted, in order to finish up
the tournament.
Captains are requested to get their
teams out as early as possible in or-
der that matches may begin on time
and for the further purpose of pre-
vcnting defaults and an easy title for
the winning team.
Government "Settles" London Strike
London, May 18.-The London om-
nibus strike, which has been going
are at least two.
Willard has contented himself by
turning down the insistence of Carl
Morris by the assertion that Morris
is no card. "Morris," he suavely de-
clared, "would not draw a house of
$10,000."
Absolutely wrong. A 'championship
match between Jess Willard and Carl
MorriL --or a championship match be-
tween Jess Willard and almost any
heavyweight that could be named
would draw an enormous crowd. The
only thig the public would ask would
be to hope that the promoters consid-
ered their tastes enough to stage the
affair somewhere outside New York or
Wisconsin-where a decision would
settle disputes before they started.
Fred Fulton would be a good oppon-
ent for the champion. It isn't any-
thing to snicker about. Fred Fulton3
or Carl Morris either would make theI
fat and incompetent champion step
rather lively to keep the gilt on his
crown from being tarnished. It's
about tide he began to show signs of
life. The fight fans want it. He
can't hold off much longer-and he'd
better grab before the grabbing gets
too hot for him.

HAND/CAP CINDER EVENT
POSTPONED ONE WEEK
POOR CONT)ITION OF RUNNF1RS
RESPONSIBLE FOR
ACTION
Track men will have a holiday to-
day.
The expected handicap events in
both the 100-yard dash and the half
mile, will not be held until next week,
due to the fact that many of the run-
ners are not yet in proper condition
to do themselves justice.
Steve has been putting Sedgwick,
looked upon as Michigan's 1918 premier
miler, through the paces of the quar-
ter and 300-yard dash of late to de-
velop speed. Sed has shown a good
steady pace all season; but has lacked
the drive necessary to make him a
dangerous man against hot competi-
tion. The coach is of the opinion
that Sed can cut his mile by several
seconds after this part of his condition-
ing has been completed.
Hart, of the freshmen, has been
lowed by the board also.
