Hint tho lirst two mtoi id buttle somewhere on July 4, for which somebody niuMigive m> $127,?>00. But the great question that now confronts the fan is, can Willard get in shape? Willard has four months in which to Condition himself, and all agree ho will have nunc lisht on his hands. Jess ha.? reached a stage in life where train ing is no longer a ploasuro and whore the muscles of the body do not rcsjund as readily to training conditions as they did in years gono by. Jess says ho is thirty-two, but ho is ail of fortv one. lie hasn't cone through any f vious training; since the winter and spring of 1914 and 1915. and he Is far from condition now. It is eahl lie ?weighs "70 pounds. Wnen ho trained for tho Jack John son fight. he put in nearly a year's hard work. Since, that battle he niot Krank Moran. battling him ton rounds in New York in March, 1916. That's been the only hard training Jess has donr, and tho carefrce life lie has led since hasn't done him any good, lie Is high in llesh that will be bard to take oiT. Then, too. having had but one ronl fight since ho won the champion ship. his judgment of distance, will be had, his confidence will be wanting and his speed and whatever else he once possessed will not he at its best. True, four months of hard work will send him Into the battle much better than he is now. but will he be lit to defend his title, or will he be as Jeffries was when be tacklcd Jack Johnson?a shadow of his former self? Jeff waited four years, and when Johnson struck out, the once big and powerful form of Jeffries crumbled.
