THREE PHYSICIANS
FOR HAVANA FIGHT
Cuban Authorities to Take No
Chances For Serious Accident
in Mondays Battle

Havana, March 31.-There has been
no change in the betting on the out
come of the fight, Johnson remaining
the favorite at about to /.
The pugilists were examined and
measured by physicians again last
night. Each man is said to be in
splendid condition and regard to or
gans and muscles. One doctor said
Johnson had the smallest heart of
any man he had ever examined. These
latest measurements show that the
champion is to be heavier and more
muscled than he was at Reno in 1910;
nevertheless. Willard is the bigger man
in almost every particular.
The Cuban government officials are
determined to take no chances of a
serious accident to a fight between
such big men. They have appointed
three physicians to attend at the ring
side. They will have oxygen and other
stimulants to revive the fighters in
case of any unusual knockout or u
fall. They say, however, that they will
not interfere with the proper termina-
ton of the battle according to the
code of the prize ring. The relatively
gigantic size of the pugilists evidently
has impressed Cuban officials with the
idea that the struggle of next Monday
will be unusually savage.
