3 unassuming. Each day adds to his al
] ready large list of influential friends
] and should he win the fight he will
/ without a doubt, be the most popular
! champion in years.
/ Willard is not built symmetrically
| according to the textbook rules, but
| his deviatiOns are all to his advantage
! For instance, the reach, arms extended
should correspond to the height whereas
! he stands seventy eight inches and has
/ a spread of nearly eighty-fOur. The
outcome of the fight will depend a
lot upon whether or no Johnson can
keep inside these long arms.
CurIeyss Decision Approved.
The decision of Jack Curley to stage
the bout at Juarez seems to have been
justified already, for there is a most
promising outlook. Every mail brings
orders for seats and messages of good
will Mr.. Cunningham of the Chino
Copper company, operating at Hurley,
Santa Rita and elsewhere, dropped in
to look things over, incidentally leav-
ing his order for four boxes, with ad-
ditional reservations for 25O arena
seats.
Jimmy AIcGin, owner of the Indian
apolis American association Baseball
club and the Denver Western League
club, offers to bring his Hoosier team
down to play the New York Giants dur
ing the week of the big fight, provid-
ing arrangements can be made with
manager McGraw.
frankie Noel, sporting editor of the
San Antonio Light, informs US there
will be at least three specials from his
city, filled with royal rOOters to see
the title change hands" These are a
few of the many instances that bespeak
a large attendance. The cattlemen's
convention alone should take care Of
four or five thousand seats, while the
low fares between eastern points and
California, due to the Panama and San
Diego expeditions, will be sure to at
tract many who might not come other
wise.
Appreciates Ell PasO.
And while I am depressing want to
say word in appreciation of the
splendid treatment accorded Willard
and his party by the people Of Ell Paso.
The city has surely lived up to its ira
ditiOnal hospitality; the welcome sign
is on every door, and friendliness on
every face. The chamber of commerce
has turned over to the management
a suite of offices in its new building;
automobiles are at our service, and ev-
eryOne seems anxious to do their part
in making our stay here a pleasant one.
