Kerr After Tank Recruits. ] "Bobby' Kerr, of Hamilton, the fleetiest sprinter Canada ever pro- duced, is on a recruiting mission throughout the Dominion to get men to pilot the big tanks which have done so much to crush the Hun, both figuratively and literally. Here is the right type of /recruit- kelter. A fine, clean, honest ath- lete, and a gentleman, Bobby Kerr was and is, Few other athletes, we think, would have acted as did Kerr when, after being chosen as a mem- ber of the Canadian team for the Olympic games at Stockholm he sent in his resignation with Lhe simple statement that he did - not. On sale at all good stores care to make the trip because he felt that he could not reach his best form, and would therefore be only | an expensive burden. Kerr 'is the type who appeals to young men. He sfiould get many reerwits for the tank gervice. . ASTERN BRAND CAPS or DAD and his LAD A LITTLE-KNOWN CHAMPION. Fritz Schaefer Won The Sprints At Halifax In 1907, When the cablés this week carried the news that "Fritz Schaefer," for- mer amateur champion sprinter of Canada, had been wounded doing his gallant duty in France, it brought the first intimation to many sport fol- lowers that there had ever been an athletic champion of that name in the Dominion. Possibly Schaefer was the. least- known athletic champion Canada has ever had.' For a night, his name was on every tongue----and then he was entirely forgotten. He wasn't heard 'of, except in a local circle, before he won his title, and he was never heard of, athletically, afterwards. And yet at Schaefer's belt dangled the scalp of Bobby Kerr, the greatest sprinter Canada ever had. And Schaefer beat Kerr when Ruddy Rob- ert was in the height of his Olympic championship glory, after having beaten the pick of the world's speed kifigs in the Olympic games at Lon- don, winning the world's 200-metre title. | The victory that mstounded the 'Canadian sport world at the time was achieved in Halifax, on the beautiful Wanderer grounds where the Cana- dian championships of 1907 were staged. A victory for Kerr in the sprint events was looked upen as a certainty, so much so. that perhaps Kerr himself sas a trifle over-confi- dent. . This, and the fact that Schae- fer beat the pistol, proved Kerr's un- | doing. As the four finalists crouch- 'ed on the starting: line, Schaefer broke away just after the "set," and shaded the pistol of starter Frank Stephens by an infinitesimal bit . of time--only a stride or so. But he caught Kerr napping and broke off with a lead, and although Kerr tore down his lane like'a white stredk, he just missed overhauling the Heligon- ian, and Schaefer won by an eyelash ifi ten seconds flat. Kerr was the most disappointed person on the grounds. He appealed te have the heat run over on the ground that Schaefer had beaten the pistol, but the officials wouldn't hear of it. 'Schaefer, content to rest on his laurels, didn't start in the 220 yard event, which Kerr annexed handily, and greatly to Kerr's _dis- appointment, refused to meet the Hamilton flyer again, although Kerr stayed over in Halifax for nearly a week to run in a special race. I For a few days Kerr's defeat was | the sensation of athletics, but com- {ing to be regarded as a "fluke" | Schaefer's name soon dropped from sight and mind, Jess Willard's Finances. Jess Willard is a real financier. Jess. is 09 44-100 Scotch and the rest Seminitic when it comes to finances. Jess was 'broke April 4, 1915. He won one fight, and then---. He was worth $100,000 April 4, 1916. He won another fight, and then--. He was rated at $250,000 April 4, 1917. He fought no more, but --. He was quoted * at $350,000 to $500,000 March 22, 1918. In other words, he made a fortune out of his profession by practising an entirely different one. Willard's fortune may be said to be due to thirty-six rounds of fighting.
