FIGHTERS Drawing CROWDS
Warm Weather Yesterday Allowed
johnson and Willard to Work
in Open Air

Havana, March 25.-Warm weather
yesterday gave Jack johnson and Jess
Willard the first opportunity in sever
al days to work in the open air in
training for their battle for the world s
heavyweight championship on April 4.
Both pugilists drew crowds who were
anxious to see them at work.
Willard trained at Miramar in the
presence of 500 spectators, a third of
whom were women. Many tourists were
among those who watched the chal-
lenger do Ia hours hard work at
the pulleys, punching the dummy,
throwing the medicine ball and box
ing twelve rounds. He faced John
Pentz for three rounds, Walter Mona
han, four, and jim Savage, five, and
later wrestled with Tex O'Rourke.
Willard has developed a good
straight left. His wind is only fair. His
sparring partners landed freely yester-
day, and, despite the fact that they are
smaller men, the challenger was easily
thrown off his balance in the clinches.
Willard hits a terrific blow when he
lands, but is still far from finished
boxer Without defending himself, he
took punishment about the head and
body, apparently not being discomfort
ed. During the morning Willard did
six miles of road work.
Johnson likewise took six-mile
run yesterday morning. The champion
boxed nine rounds with Bob Arm
strong, Colin Bell and Dave Mills with
out intermission. Willard took a min
ute rest between rounds while he was
boxing and johnson s partners are
huskier and more experienced than
those of the challenger.

to-day, if necessary, and said that in
