Smith put up the better battle. HIT
was more aggressive and seemed will
ing to take a chance. while Willard
held off, boxed, ducked and covered
at times. The fight, the dispatches
| say. was not very interesting, and
there was only one really exciting
round. That was the fourteenth. IN
which Willard showed much superb
ority. He jabbed the Gunboat with
his left repeatedly, and then he
landed one of his famous right upper
cuts. Smith was dazed and held on,
and Willard, serious for the first and
only time tried to finish his man.
Smiths best round was the twelfth,
in which he staggered Willard, but
outside of that the Gunboat's blows
didn't appear to feaze Big Jess. f"
All one can say for Willard is that he
might be a champion is he had any
real sense. AS for Smith, he has
never shown sufficient ability to win
his way into the prize chair of pug
dom.
The victory of Bud Anderson over
Joe Mandot was not particularly sur
prising to those who have hadsa line
on Anderson for some time. That he
would win was no surety, of course,
and that he did win by a knockout
in the twelfth round was no sensa-
tional surprise, either. Anderson has
shown class and in his bouts with K.
10. Brown he uncovered himself to
such an extent that 1t was plainly
evident that in him were the maxi
ings of a champion. On the surface,
it looks as if Bud is the best boy in
the West surely, and he may be the
best lightweight in the world.

Jack johnson is crying for SYM
pathy and a chance to earn more
money at the boxing game-a game
for which he had little respect when
in his prime. In Chicago and pre-
sumed to be dead broke" financially,
Johnson is making plea for com
mutation of sentence in order to al
low him to engage in another battle
in which he expects to earn much
money. Maybe Johnson will be given
consideration and maybe he Will be
given another fight, but the doubt is
many times greater than the likeli-
hood The big black champion is ap-
parently sorry, and he would make
amends, perhaps, but his actions
have been so despicable that he will
never again be given any more justice
than the law allows.
g.
| 1t is Johnson's idea, 1t is said, to
go to Calgary and there meet Luther
McCarty, but even if the authorities
permitted such thing it is doubtful
whether the champion would be al
lowed to fight there. At the wrest-
ling match Monday night Tom
o'Rourke, manager of Al Palzer, told
me that the only chance that John-
son had for another fight was in
Paris. and he must keep his agree
ment with Palzer there. otherwise,
| o. Rourke said, Jack can't fight any
more. He is barred in nearly every
CITY in the United States and Canada,
they don't want him in Australia,
and France will only suffer his pres
ence there in order to allow him to
meet Palzer, who, it is generally be-
lieved in Europe, can defeat the
champion
O.
| That appears to be the situation as
far as the heavyweight championship
| is concerned. The only sorrowful
part of the affair is that Johnson
doesn't meet some good, respectable
white man and go down to defeat as
did Jeffries, Fitzsimmons, Corbett,
Sullivan and all previous champions
have done 1t would be shame to
have the title taken by default or be
come extinct in Johnson's possession.
