ALILtL MONAHAN. the man
M who is expected to do more
than any other man in the
training camp toward getting Jess Will
lard in shape to defeat Jack Johnson.
arrived in FL PasO Sunday morning.
MOnahan Immediately after mis- arrival
proceeded to the training camp at the
KnOblauch ranch.
Monahan has a gymnasium at Pas
adena, California, where he gives in
structiOns in boxing For a number of
years he has conducted similar places
up and down the Pacific coast When
Jack johnson FIRST began fighting on
the Pacific coast Monahan took hold Of
him and handled him for almost a year
1t was Monahan who taught Johnson
what he knows of the fine points of
the game. It was MOnahan, too, who
taught Johnson the famous right up
percut which has brought disaster to
so many fighters who have faced the
black. MOnahan's ability to point out
Johnson's foibles to Willard should
prove a big aid to the giant Kansan.
Jack Hemple an FL PasO bow is
proving a great aid in training Willard,
owing to his great strength and lik-
ing for the rough work. Hemple
makes Willard extend himself fully in
the wrestling, and Juggling and pulling
tussles in which the pair engage. Man
ager Tom Jones had arranged to bring
Jim Savage here for this work, but
Hemple has taken to it so well that
Savage will not be needed until later.
and will not come to the city for some
time.
CurIey is Returning.
Jack Curley, who has been on a trip
to Louisville and Cincinnati to see
Nusiff HUssane Wrestle in the former
place and Jim Flynn fight in the lat

last Wednesday night he Wrcstled Carl
Lemley in Louisville before a crowd
that packed the house. just as he has
done in all his matches, Hussane dis

in straight falls. Hussane i'm addition
to being a great wrestler, is also well
Versed in the art of conditioning and
will be a valuable asset to the train
ing crew. Jim Flynn, known the world
over as the greatest trial horse in the
game viii also be a big help. Flynn
himself fought Johnson i'm Las Vegas
July Fourth, 1912. Johnson has not
changed his style of fighting to any
extent since then, so in addition to be-
ing able TO keep Willard on the go CON
stantly through his aggressive style
of fighting, Flynn VIII be able to give
the big cowboy many valuable pointers.
Three Teams Willing.
Bill Frawley, secretary for the COM
bine handling the big fight received
word from Jack Curley Monday that
the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White
SoX and the st. Louis Cardinals have all
wired him requesting that he bring
them to Ell PasO during the week of
the Cattlemen's Convention. to play
against the New York Giants. Curley
is now trying to make arrangements
to bring all Of them here during that
week. If he succeeds in doing so. it
is quite probable chat a double header
win be held daily, and FL Paso viii en-
JOY a real carnival of big league base
bail in addition to the fine fights which
win be put on aside from the big scrap.
MuIdOon Raps Johnson.

and who. in addition to being the
daddy Of them all at that game, is ad-
mittedly the greatest conditioner i'm
America, il not in the world has taken
a stiff poke at Jack johnson. In the
Boston American ne comes out with
the flat footed statement that Johnson
is a coward at heart He says that this
is clearly proved by the way he has
constantly run away from Sam A.ang-
ford. Among other things, M6ldoon
says of Johnson: Both the press and
