HAVANA, April Jack johnson
thinks he will win from Jess Willard
Monday and that he will win quickly.
Johnson feels so sure Of IL he has
ceased worrying at all In "a private
interview with two newspaper friends
last night. Jack made il plain that
there IS no doubt in his mind that he
viii be returned the winner.
Come out in the morning when
nobody is around and see me get rub
bed down" he said. The rubbers went
at him after mis- road work and We're
with him for fully an hour and half
There may be an undercurrent Of
worrying just the same, as Johnson
asks many questions about his OPP
ponent, even though he seems TO
know all about him.
Tries To- Rub OF Fat
II was plain from the treatment
given that Johnson is trying TO get
rubbed into shape rather than work
off the flesh that is hard To shake.
Vaseline IS used freely on the big
black. almost "A pint daily being mas
saged He thinks il is soothing TO the
muscles and keeps them pliable and
free. It never occurred to him that
vaseline might be a flesh builder.
You didn't like my work yester-
day. eh?" said Johnson. Il am in
good shape just the same and am
ton. Feel what you say is fat It's
firm, isn't it? That shows that ! am
in good shape.
I'm all right and capable Of going
at the same old top speed. What
makes me so sure that / will win is
just this: willard hasn't the exper-
fence 10 cope with an old-timeT like
me. l will make him do everything
he doesn't want 10 do 7 know ne
doesn't like to be tented and l will
give him an overload Of that right
from the start. / would not he sur
prised if ! win in a few rounds.
Bclittles Strength.
Jess is strong, you say. L don't
know that he is but I'll bet you
something that he isn't as strong as
either Sam McVey or Denver Ed
Martin. the strongest men L ever met
willard mas what 4 call fictitious
stren6:h and he doesn't know how to
use IL. He can't stand rough usage.
i am sure of that. and this is going
10 be a rough fight 4 big punch IS
no good unless il is backed by skill
The fighter with a big wallOp must
know how 10 get in veil enough to use
it and Willard never Will get in on
me. He is clumsy and slow and
doesn't breathe well. Jess has lots
of weak points for man fighting for
the title.
My friends in the United States
must not worry over my condition.
! 1'u go as fast as ever and be the one
standing up at the finish. Yes,
feel certain of victory inside OF an
hour"

Big Black Talks Loud and
Long, But Seems to Worry
a Whole Lot About Willard

Johnson was sincere in every word
he said and emphasized his remarks
with sweeping gestures He even
stopped rubbing time and again 10
make a point in his talk. Ii looks
from the inside OF the training camp
as If Johnson is getting three times
as much body massage as an ordinary
man in training 1t is evident he is
trying TO rub off the flesh and take
no chances of road work weakening
him at this stage OF his training.
jess Has Terrible Punch.
Willard worked in the rain before
a big crowd and thought il did him
good His work was much better
than the day before. Jess is just be-
ginning 70 taper off now and will do
little more glove work. He is certainly
in wonderful condition in every spot
and his friends say if ne keeps up
courage and heart and doesn't fail in
the pinch he is a sure winner
Jim Savage told me something to-
day jim said ne would rather take
a right hand swing on the jaw from
an ordinary fighter than one of Jess
left jabs on the nose. Savage says
there never was a harder hitter in
the ring and that Willard can knock
out sparring mates as fast as they get
ready TO face him.

with his style and doesn't look much,
but ne is mighty hard TO hit He gets
away well. stays covered just long
enough and generally is a bad man
To handle Willard is SO strong he
losses US around as he pleases and 1
think him q sure winner on his punch.
He is a good waiter and will tire the
champion out in an hour. Johnson
never faced a hitter of his type and

age up and some of them make it
stronger.
Betting is Queer.
There is n queer angle to the bet
ting here. Charley Calvin, a Euro
pean promoter, wants to bet $4,000
even money on Willard but says he
cannot find any Johnson money in
the city of Havana. Race track
bOOkies are prohibited from making
books on the fight. Oscar Bachman,
d Chicago book maker. thinks the
price should be between seven and
eight to five with Johnson the favor
ite but he won't bet anything There
Is lots of talk about bets but most OF
the money is for willard.
Gus Rhodes, JOhnson's nephew, has
done wonders in handling the cham
piOn's training camp. The first day
ne stayed away there was trouble. Gus
has been with Jack since he left Chi
cago. Some travelling.
Mike Gibbons arrived in Havana
