El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-08-06

! There is a black man comm with
! bundle for the gay Paree people He
! IS FL Pasos own little black brother.
| Harry Wills. Wills has been training
! over a booze bazaar on Oregon street
during the heated spell and now that
/ he is fit and fine he will sail from
New Orleans about the time the warm
weather breaks, and will go to Paris,
which is in France. Once there, he
is expected to show the more or less
gay Paris greens just what a Louisiana
dock Walloper can do when a pair of
pillows are attached to his mitts and
he is enclosed within a squared circle.
Accompanying Wills will be one Da-
vid Mills who fought a good fight in
JuareZ during the reign of OrOzco III,
and lost to a white man who failed to
fight fair only after he, the negro, had
smashed his thumb on the blonde boys
bean. Wills and Mills Sounds like a
vaudeville pair will give and take ac-
cOrding to the rules laid down by the
late Marquis of GoOSeberry for the en-
tertainment of the Partisan fight
blOods, and for the enrichment of their
own kahl account by several thousand
francs. The two coffee coolers will
leave here some time this week, so
to New Orleans, which is in Wills own
black belt, and will give exhibitions
on both sides of the river before sail
ing on the Prince of India, bound for
France, with a cargo of cotton and
dingies.

wrong in his initial tout of the black I
boy Wills has rything-Speed, foot |
work, a wicked Wallop, a certain
amount of natural science, which is d,
being developed rapidly under skiLful |
ard expert handling. 1t Is the physi- /

CHI lot Tofl 10 &c
physically perfect. Sta 1dinE six feet
two and q quarter inches. with a reach
of 81 and a fraction inches, weights
2lS plus, and chest like a barrel,
Wills has everything needed by an am
bilious boy who would be king of the
pugs. Add to this clean living and
early hours, and this Louisiana negro
will be heard from before he is an
other year older than %, his present
sam McVey is Wills especial quest
in France. Sam is another negro who
lives on the Rue something or other
over there and who fights all corners
before the French athletic clubs. What
Wills will do 20 McVey will take an
hour to tell. He has an assorted va
riety of wicked punches which he can
put over at will There is enough
steam in one of his blows to slay an
OK and he backs it up with a speed that
carries him to the firing line every
minute of the time.
Mills, who fights at 100, will go
along as sparring partner. He was a
member of the johnson champion
camp several seasons and has the ben
eft of the clever blacks ability as a
boxer. He viii take on some OF the
lesser lights in France and viii train
and condition Wills in the meantime.
