BETTING ODDS ON JOHNSON
BECAUSE HE is CHAMPION
Ring History Shows Contenders Always Fight at Short
End of Wagers-Negros Condition Will De
termne Result of Battle With Willard

! The next time the title changed hands
\ was at Carson City, New, March II, 1897.
! Five years Of prosperity had told on Cor
bett. He had lost all Of his cunning
! which won for him over sullivan Gentle
man Jim did not have n punch--that was
proved In his fight with Sullivan. The lat
ter dropped from sheer exhaustion In the
90 bout.
And once again the title holder was
backed as the favorite over the con-
tender, Bob Fitzsimmons, a terrific hit
ter and reputed to be able to kill an OK
with one punch, was Corhetts opponent
Fitzsimmons' punching ability was not
considered in the betting. He was the
contender and short odds were placed
on him. Corbett lasted less than IA
rounds T'ltzsimnons making the solar
pleNus punch famous by knocking out his
opponent by that route
Then came James j. Jeffries, the great
est fighter who ever put on a glove. He
had been knocking his opponents out with
regularity In the West while Fitzslm-
mons was engaging in theatrical work.
The latter continued his footlight stunts
until n week or two before his match
with Jeffries at Coney Island, Novem-
her 3, 1899 Fitzsmmons was i'm poor shape
to defend his aurels: still he was the
prime rlngsde iaNurite. The gamblers
did not think about the respective condi
tons Of the principals. Fit2simmoms was

lasted II rounds.
The next championship fight of import
ance from betting standpoint was in
1910. when Jeffries, physical wreck,
came out of his six years retirement with
the hope of returning the title to the
white race, after johnson had beaten
Burns for the crown.
johnson was not the favorite. He ruled
rank second. In this case, though, the
big black was the ChamDion, but JEFF
fries was the retired title holder and a
white man, and this fact led the gam
blers to back the white man as favorite.
After 10 rounds of moving picture fighting
johnson landed his famous uppercut in
less than five more rounds
Now there Is johnson, champion. and
Willard. contender, matched to box at
Havana. As before the title holder is the
favorite, and as proved In the past the
betting has little or nothing to do in in
dicating the probable winner of the match
Johnson's condition is the chief factor.

Another Point

There's still another reason for the lack
of first class hitting. Twenty years ago
there were pitchers as good as those of
today-in quality, but not in quantity.
The game held nothing like as many
stars as It holds now. The Yanks have
been well down in the second division for
several years and yet when a rival club
meets them the opposing batsmen are
forced to tackle high class pitching every
day in the week.

BeIated Chance

We shall soon see whether or not 1914 used
up all the Upsets extant or whether any hold
overs were left for 1915.
II Willard had met johnson last year there
could have been only one answer. 1t was only

Old and New Batting

'"rhere arc nothing like as many good bat

reason is that present-day batters in
clued to step away from the plate rather than
10 step out boldly and swing on the ball"
This Is probably true, But there is also
reason Fifteen or 20 years ago batsmen were
not called on to face spitball or knucke ball
or emery ball ptchers, where the zigzag curve
was liable to break In any one of seven gen.
eral directions. The Old-time batsman knew
about what he had TO faee-a fast ball or
curve. But the batsman of today isn't quite
as eager 10 face a curve attached to an un-
certain direction that even the pitcher can't

where two eminent pugs meet both are
absolutely sure that the other man will
win without any great effort
