During Wednesday Training.

Havana, March 31.-At the con-
clusion of today's training routine in
the camp Of Jess Willard, the big
white man who is to fight Jack John
son for the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world next Monday, the
fighter and his handlers discussed the
plan and details Of the battle. Just
what the campaign Of the white man
will be against the big black was not
made public.
Each day Willard is decreasing his
work Sunday he will do little ex-
cept give a public exhibition in his
gymnasium. Monday morning he ex-
poets to rise early and take long
walk in order to timber up. Then he
will rest until he departs for the
Mariana race track, where the fight
is to take place. He purposes to leave
for the ring an hour and half before
the fight is to start.
Willard expresses condolences that
he will win, but declines to predict
whether the fight will be long or
short. If Johnson stands up and ex-
clares he will defeat the champion in
quick time, believing that no man can
stand up under his punches. If
Johnson covers up, clinches and
blocks, the white man says, the bat
Tie Will De long Drawn out but event.
ually he will be the winner. Willard
says he can use his right fist on
Johnson, something he has been I'M
able to do in his training bouts with
his sparring partners for fear of hurt
ing them seriously.
Willard will begin his final drying
OUT Saturday night. He expects to
enter the ring weighing about 24O
pounds. He will not select his seconds
until an hour before the battle, but
it is believed these will be his present
trainers and his manager
The men in Wizards camp have
made a pool Of $500 to bet on him.
Today Willard did six miles of road
work in the morning and in the after
noon before a big crowd of spectators
worked at his training machines,
wrestled and boxed fourteen rounds
with his sparring partners
johnson was out for a five mile run
