FIGHTERS TRAIN
FOR BIG BATTLE
Heavyweight Pugilists Are
Hard At Work-Betting
Favors Johnson.

HAVANA. March 26.-Warm weather
today gave Jack Johnson and Jess
Willard the first opportunity in sew
eral days to work out in the open air
in training for their battle for the
worlds heavyweight championship OH
April 4. Both pugilists drew crowds
of people who were anxious to see
them at work.
Johnson decarled that he could fight
today II necessary and said that in an
other week he would be in perfect
condition.
Americans have begun to get in
favor of Johnson, offering some sumo
at IL to .. Thus far there is only
fair demand for seats at the champion
ship fight.
HAVANA. March 26-Jack Johnson
and Jess Willard have settled down to
the regular routine of training in pre-
paration for their fight for the heavy
weight championship of the world on
April 4. Constant rains confine their
work chiefly to indoor training The
champion has his headquarters in the
gymnasium at the stadium and the
challenger is training at the suburb of
Miramar. Both men are charging ad-
mission fees to their quarters, which
hundred Cubans and Americans.
Boxing Is a novelty to the natives,
although the tourists appreciate the
fine points of the sport.
The Americans are interested chiefly
in Johnson's condition. The champion
appears to be in surprisingly good
form. He weighs 233 pounds and in
the II days before the fight expects
to reduce his weight to 215 pounds.
He is a trifle fat at the hips, al
though his weight is not excessive,
considering the amount of time loft
for training and the moist Cuban
climate. He works in heavy clothes
and perspfres profusely.
Johnson's exercise yesterday con-
sisted of shadow boxing. work with
dumb bells and eight rounds OF box
ing with no intermlssion, with Dave
Mills, Colin Bell and Bill Scott, all
heavy, fast men.
Johnson's wind was excellent and
his old cleverness In hitting, blocking
and clinching was evident. His judg-
ment of distance was trifie short, but
he said this would be rectified by prac-
tice. He was as confident and good
natured as is usual with him.
Willard after his long period OF
training at Ell Paso is going at an easy
pace, taking about the same routine
as Johnson. His road work is lighter
than the champions. His wind Is good
and his form is improving. His best
work is with Jim Savage.

Hank Gives Explanation.
when you have stood there in the
sun, judging balls that come with
binding speed or with tantalizing
curve or slowness, it isn't any wonder
that in 25 years a mans face will be-
come contorted with an anxious and
sullen look. To tell you the truth your
face almost freezes that way. l may
have looked severe and cross to the
crowds, but really while having my
hardest trouble with some player, I
have had to laugh quietly. The strain
of it will alter an umpire's facial char
acteristic. but not his disposition, If he
is the right kind Of man"
Hans Wagner Joined the group
while Hank was talking and the meet
ing between the pair was cordial and
affecting. They have grunbled and
jawed against each other many q
time, but the warm old friendship Is
there and each has the warmest ad-
miration for the other.

Wagner's bit of blarneying over
Swallowed anything in Hanks line. but
as they parted Hank looked wistfully
after the Dutchman and said:
There's only ono and that's him."

the County the Past Week.

Some Winneshiek county farmers
are giving their horses rest this
year, and are using tractors for
blowing, ETC. Last week Reed &
Lennon sold two 1925 horse power
Waterloo Boy Tractors. Hans Hal
vOrson of Canoe township and Gil
bert Haugen, of DEBORAH township
were the purchasers. These tractors
are used for all kinds of farm work,
such as blowing, dragging, seeding,
discing, silo filling, Smelling corn,
etc.
They are operated with either
kerosene or gasolene, and will do the
work of twelve horses in a day. One
man operates the entire outfit, and
the tractor will pillow on an average
one acre per hour. 1t draws three
fourteen inch plows, and the best
part of it is that the machine can
be kept going day and night if nee
essary, without stop, and it is US
ed in pulling the binder to the same
advantage. There are now about six
tractors used in the county, all CIV
ing general satisfaction.

MOVING PICTURE ACTORS.
The Life of a Moving Picture Actor
is Not SO Easy as it Seems.

There is widespread and grow
ing impression among young people
who see moving pictures, that there
is wide and easy opening door to
fortune as motion picture actor.
John Bunny, said to be the most
popular screen comedian in the
world, was few years ago playing
a small part in Way down East"
He thought he could make good in
motion picture acts, tried it out, and
today his face is familiar to every
moving picture fan. The big money
looks easy to good many people.
Mr.. Bunny has been critically ill for
some days, and the publicity being
given to his very remarkable career
will start a good many ambitious
young people along the track he ira
yelled with sych marvellous success.
The spectator imagines that most
of the films were taken in comforta-
BILE steamheated stud rs. where there
are no greater nardships than the
voice Of an active stage manager. Ac-
tually great many of them are TAX
en- in conditions closely approximat-
ing to the tragic and perilous condi-
tions they are intended to portray
An actor was drowned not long
ago while trying to enact rescue
in real river. Many Of the fire and
railroad scenes must involve a good
deal of peril to the players. So many
of the plays are laid in wild life,
that taking these pictures is no af-
fair of the flats around New York.
There must be many rough and ar
duous jaunts over rough country.
A moving picture actor needs to
be very versatile person. Not mere
ly must he be very clever in the al
most forgotten art of .pantomime,
but he should be able to dance,
swim, run an automobiles (aviation
experience highly desirable) ride
bucking broncho, handle fire arms,
fence and prize fight, and so on. The
work may not involve the steadily
grinding physical strain of the &C
tor who travels about the country to
one night stands. Yet there must be
many eXigencies where the actors
hard bed in some remote country
hotel would look very good. The
persons who are envying the seem
ingly easy success of Mr.. Bunny and
others need not think it is any So
called snap
