s.vrrnn.w, apjul a, iois. IHt: SOUTH BEND NEWS-TIMES Every American in Cuba is Pulling For Jess Willard Johnson. Still Retains All His Ring Knowledge But is Not in Condition Jess Just a Big Awkward Man. Ily Damon Kiiiijon. HAVANA. April ?.. It s.em.s to he irenerally accent d by nearly all the Americans In t'uh;i as an almost fore gone conrjusiori that Jes Willard will heat Jack Johnson.' Yet on the strength of their workouts Prid iy. with Johnson in xood condition, It ?honld not even he clost-. There is as nr.Kh difference ho twten the men :us lictwcn a skilled workman and an ajjprenth o. As old ax he Is. Johnson has for gotten more the method and manner of the Queensherry code than Willard will ever learn. Willard may have aerjnircd a few rcw sryrnn.-islnrn trirks that make him fhape tip a. IttrlM hotter to the yp than ever hfore nnd ho is certainly in cooil physical condition. lut in the main he is about the same amlin?. ungraceful fellow that was known to the Nv Vork rint? followt rs a f-v nonths njro. Ills improvement strikes one as PirHy superficial. He still hnx'3 from an awkward straddle-h Ked po sition with his month haninc open, his risrht hand drawn hack as if about to throw a rook. Can't Ior. Smile. Tie still flares up occasionally as if in an excess of fury and charges in and rouKhs it with his sparring part ner and thrn at the hfdsht of th milling his frond nature reasserts It self nnd the blind face cracks in 5 miles. lie fooms to hivp developed a. xoo.-.i snap to Ills left hand punches, but he never has much of an idea of what will be at the end of his ri'ht when lie lets ko. In other words lie s-ems to s-.vintr with hi.s rlKht. trusting to luck to connect. He has developed some defense and his foot work Is better. Hut his condition is the most im portant of all for Johnson is not in Rood condition. He may be in ood condition for a man of rs, but not for a lighter about to enter the riiur for a Ions: battle, prantin that his oppon ent is anywhere near his equal. Johnson made a rent showinjr in his workout Friday, but those who haro been watching him say that it was the hardest afternoon he has put in since lie started training. It prob ably was for the benefit of Mike Gib buns, for whom Johnson has taken a rat fancy and who saw both his lighters work. Mum UN Partners. The champion slammed his spar riot: partners, Colin Hell. "Steamboat Hill" Scott and Iave Mills, around until he was sleek with perspiration. He went ciy'ht minutes with 1 5 e 1 1 at top speed without stopping and dis played all his cleverness. Apparently f'r Gibbons' benefit Joh.: laughed and kidded through out, arting Gibbons such questions. "How's that for a fat man?" His torso from the hips to the shoulders is as level as the flanks of a fatted steer, but he had his spar ring partners smashing him in the stomach as an answer to a remark of a spectator about his wah line. Johnson's doctor claims that hia pulse never shows any indication that his wind is affected even after most irrueiling workout, but it was noticed that when the champion talked to spe-ctators after the drill Friday ho se.-med to be making an extra exer tion to breath through his nose with the muscles of his stomach throbbing like' a man under some stress. Wan In I Am .Money. Tom Plana Kan was around Friday hunting some oven money and claim ing that should the logical price because Johnson n obi man. Respite the s:;-oni? tip that is out on Willard little i,.-r.ry is in sight on eitlur man. It hard to explain the wild rush of sentiment to Willard save on the ground of his cond'Uon. It is said the promoters are sure they can show thf pictures in Amer ica if Willard w ins despite the laws on the subject. The usual talk of "fake" that has preceded every big fight, is heard. There are weird tales of early morn ing training by Johnson followed py Indolence in the public workouts to heat down the betting price, but if Johnson is doing any early morning work it does not show in his appcar a n . IMg crowds mf men and women saw the lighters Friday. Victor Munoz, the famous sporting editor of El Mundo. says the Cubans are taking a great interest in the fiTht, but that the crowd would have been twice as large had it been held on Sunday. Indications are that there will not be over 3,000 Americans present at the light, if that many. It is said that Harry Frazee. one of the promoters, has announced that he will hire a special train from Key West if Willard wins. ON THE LOCAL BOWLING ALLEYS. ri:m:iLL ui(;rn FEDERAL?

PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE Life After Death is Seldom Consider ed Says Speaker. "Be Ready" was the subject used by Clyde Wyngar, a worker of the E. Lasalle mission, last night at the regular revival services held at Ep worth Memorial church. He told of the plans the people of the city or country make for the win ter, the many necessaries that they store for the cold months and how little some of them think of storing anything for the long time to follow this short stay on earth. Tonight he will talk on "Which Do You Prefer. Night or Darkness?" The revival services will close with Sun day's services. Tiy NEWS-TIMES WANT ADS THE R AMBLINGS OF THE POSTMORTEM I ST Sonic DMurboT. Few can end my peaceful slumber. Few can get my steady number, But there is one guy I hate Though it grieves me much to state. He's the guy in accents choppy Yells at me, "We need some copy." We wouldn't say that Jack Johnson is fat but after readintr all theseJ stories from down in Cuba we got to admit that he is some plump. Members of the second team of the White Sox have produced a new alibi. Claim they got sea sick going ocr the mountains out west. It's surprising what great writers some of our present day fighters are. One of these days instead of the danc ers, the writers and the actors who en gage in the fistic pastime, someboly is going to pull something and introduce a man into fight circles who will hank his reputation on his ability to fight. As a rule we are ready to believe what we see in newspapers but when it comes to saying that a bowler made a perfect score our human naturo as serts itself and to save ourselves we can't help tut have doubts. Those poor Yanks aro certainly the goats for they were easier for tho Cubs than some of those A. A. teams. Bill Donovan is entitled to a hero medal. He umpired that frame against the Cubs and managed to keep his smile in position all during the game. Our idea of waste of money is to pay to see some of those exhibition g.imes down south. Somo Combination. A menu to feaze us. In fact displease us. And cause us to moan and sigh Is grapefruit along with our pie. There are two Collins with the White Sox and at present writing it's hard to tell if it's J. or K. that gets those long hits. However summer will soon be here. Two teams playing ball in Juarez the other day were arrested. The score was not given hence we know not the charge. Johnson has been called a number of things, but the latest is "Master Blocker." Still we figure he is not entitled to the title for ho failed to Mock his bout with Willard, and then look at Freddie Welsh. 1)11) HE? (Our little problem story, written impromptu, as it were.) Farmer Jones was a farmer, but could not be called an agriculturalist. He had lived on a farm all his life, but when autos began to be seen 011 tho rural highways, he never got in the parade, let alone carrying a banner. There was a mortgage on Farmer Jones' farm and while Farmer Jones was a strong man he could not lift it. When wheat was selling at $1.40 a bushel Farmer Jones was buying". He had heard that farming was taupht at college but as lie had never seen it done, he refused to believe it. The one thing Farmer Jones could raise was whiskers. He had a nice crop of these and always carried them in his vest pocket to keep from stepping on the ends. One day Farmer Jones woke up and realized that he was far behind the parade. He realized that an old dog has a task playing the part of a pup and decided to shuffle off this mortal coil. Going to the barn he got a chair. Standing on the chair he threw his whiskers over the top of a rafter and drawing them down on the side farther south, proceeded to tie one end around his neck. With everything in necktie shape, so to speak, lie kicked the chair. He was suspended in midair or perhaps some lower. THE END. Did Farmer Jones whiskers pull out or did he hang himselr?
