BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING

l ne majority OF Tlghr CRITICS al JACK
Johnson's training camp in Havana
agree that the big black is only a few
pounds heavier than when he met
Moran in Paris and still retains the
powerful kick he has previously
packed in both his mitts.
There are also claims that he can
stand a staggering amount of punish
ment, but his stamina cannot be
judged until he actually climbs into
the ring and goes a few rounds with
the white challenger.
The memory of Reno is still fresh
enough to cause a bit of skeptiCism
about training camp blurbs. Prior to
the day when Jeffries opened the way
for white hopes to flood the country
we were told by men on the ground,
experts who were supposed to know
their business, that the champion was
as good as he ever was in his life.
Then Jeff went into the ring and
made pitiful showing.
He had caVed in days before the
fight, his nerves were in shreds and
he knew he didn't have a chance. But
this was not mentioned, and the pub
lie deIuded itself into the belief that
the Jeffries of Reno was the Jeffries
who took the title from Bob Fitz-
simmons.
We can't see Willard counted out
before the fight begins. Jess is crude
in his work, admittedly, but he is big
and powerful and lands with terrific
force. He can take punishment Of
that there is no doubt. He is more
rugged than any man the cinder has
even been pitted against. After 20
rounds he will be better than an even
bet and there is every reason to be
Ieve he can stay with Johnson for
20 rounds.
Moran did it, and Moran is not so
powerful as willard In several sec
