JUAREz, PLACE;
PUBLIC, GOAT
Johnson-Willard Bout Will Be
Staged in Mexico on
March 6.
CURLEY THE PROMOTER
Championship Heavyweight Battle
Arranged After Much Dickering
by Rival Managers.

New York, Jan. 9-Juarez, Mexico Is
the place; March is the date, and the
public is the goat
This is about the best summary that
can be made in words of one syllable OF
a statement issued tonight by Jack Cur
ley. promoter of the coming Jack John
son-Jesse Willard exhibition. who will
also be remembered as the promoter of
the last Gotoh- Ha ackenschmidt wrestling
match in Chicago.
In the statement Curley says that Billy
Gibson tried to get the exhibition for
Havana, but failing in this. demonstrated
his real sporting caliber by being the
first one to wish all of US the best OF luck
for Juarez, stating that death only would
be able to keep him from the ringside.
In his statement Curley also refers to
the exhibition as the worlds Champion
ship heavyweight match" and declares
that AT a meeting Of all parties con-
cerned" today it was decided to hold It
at the Juarez race track on Saturday,
March G. Jack Johnson was not present.
but any suspicion that he is not one of
the parties concerned" is lulled by the
next paragraph in Curleys announce
ment, which says: "Johnson's consent
was previously at hand to shift the date
a week earlier than called for in the arti-
cles. Another 5000 was cabled him to
defray. travelling expenses"
For such readers as are dependent
solely upon the sporting page OF this
newspaper for general news of another
nature, il may be stated that the real
reason for the absence of Mistah John
son was that had he really been present
in the flesh some rude hireling of Uncle
Sam might have also attended the meet
ing and put the worlds championship
heavy weight match" on the fritz by
tapping Jack on the. shoulder and drag
ging him off to the Hoose Cow in some
annoying white slaFe proceedings, con-
cerning which Uncle Sam has a desire
to shut Mistah johnson Up in a nice
warm prison where the white hopes can't
get at him. For this reason Mr.. John
Arthur johnson finds the climate OF
Buenos Ayres far more salubrious than
that of the United States, or any part
thereof. Hence the cabled $1,000.
Referring to Jess willard, who is cast
in the role of human sacrifice to the
golden calf in the present proceedings
Curley's statement says:
Willard will leave New York tOmor-
row morning. He will be accompanied by
his manager, Tom Jones, and several
sparring partners. Willard will go direct
to Excelsior Springs. Mo-, where he wilf
spend a week or ten days. drinking the
waters and taking the mineral baths, and
then he will go direct TO FL Paso where
training quarters will await him.

MONTANA MEETS
TONY BERNARD
Local Italian Grappler Clashes
with New York Bull" at
Majestic Wednesday.

The wrestling game is booming again
in this city. as close to 5000 fans witt
messed the match last Wednesday night
at the Majestic Theater. when Tony
Bernard disposed of Soldier Mccartney
in an easy fashion. Although Frank
Zeraga, the local heavy weight, gave
the Italian demon a great tussle in a
fifteen-minutes affair. which was put on
to give the public a GUN for their
money, he will not be the next oppon-
ent to meet Bernard in a finish match.
Manager Billy Ballbaugh. of the Ma
jestic Theater, who is promoting the
bouts. closed out with Louis Bull
Montana, the New York Italian mid
dle-weight wrestler, to meet Bernard
here next Wednesday night in a finish
affair. in which no holds will be barred.
1t is hardly possible that Montana
needs any introduction to- the local
followers of the graphing game. as
the famous Mulberry Bend Bull Is
well known here as a mat artist.
With two men like Montana and Ber-
nard in a finish affair the public need
not to be warned that they will see the
''old fur fly and from his long eX-
perience he should be able to give the
New York wrestler a cracking good
fight for honors.
The article Of agreements which were
signed yesterday by Bernard call for
a 500 purse and a side bet Of 800 and
it is sure fact thGt there will be some
real wrestling when these gladitors step
upon the mat Wednesday-winner is to
take all.
Just who, will referee the bout has
not yet been agreed upon by the wrest-
Iers but the third man will have his
hands full untangling this mass of man.
eaters when they clash. The local pub
lie has not witnessed a match with no
holds barred since the police stopped the
famous Montana KiIonis bout at the Old
Lyceum Theater two years ago, and with
such men as Montana and Bernard as
the attraction Manager Ballbaugh has
put on a star card.
