Willard IS Hiding
FROM THE GUNBOAT
jim Buckley Claims Cowboy" Is
Sidestepping Match with Smith
at Madison Square Garden.

New York, Jan. 9-The quicker Jess
Willard hides himself in his training
camp at FL Paso the safer he will be. if
one listens to Jim Buckley. manager of
Gunboat Smith. Buckley is around today
telling everybody that Big Jess is being
saved for the Johnson Willard eXhibi-
ton at Juarez because II he ever climbs
into a ring with Gunboat the latter will
not leave enough of him for johnson to
appear against.
Il have signed articles for Gunboat to
take on Willard at the Garden at any
time he feels like it, said Buckley to-
day. But Jess is on his way to the
sticks because his managers are too
foxy to let him show himself up as he
really is I think Willard is a set-up for
the gunner On the level, / rather have
Smith fight the Kansas cowboy than go
against Battling Levinsky. When Smith
whipped Willard in San Francisco, Jess
hung on to the gunner so hard in the
last half of the fight that the referee
couldn't pry him off.
Any of the San Francisco fight ex-
perts will tell you Smith whipped VIII
lard. and they will all tell you he can do
il again. Wizards managers are right
in keeping him away from the gunner.
He would get such a showing up that the
Johnson-Willard show wouldn't draw
enough to pay training expenses. They
know Willard can't fight. but the angel
who is putting up the coin expects to
make big killing financially"
Willard, was not seen about his usual
haunts today and il is assumed that he
lived up to promoter Curley's announce
ment of his departure and is on his way
to Excelsior Springs, Mo. 1t is probable
he passed through Chicago, where Curley
is best known as the promoter of the
GOtch-H h-Hackenschmidt wrestling match.
