JUAREz GETS READY
[By Hal Sheridan, written for the
Tinted Press

[By Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.1
NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Jess Willard
may grab the championship crown
from Jack Johnson, late of Chicago
and still later Partisan bounder at
their little meeting in Juarez, Mex,
in March, but there are doubters ga
lore.
The Kansas cowboy, the experts are
now busy pointing out, has the heft,
the ability to take punishment, and
a medium-sized punch. The chief OBJ
lection seems to be that he lacks ring
experience and, that his attitude in
the squared circle is entirely too mild.
Willard is now accused of lacking
nerve, but many critics complain that
he is not an aggressive campaigner.
And they figure that the man who
takes the title from Lii Arthah" must
go after the dusky one from the starr
and give him a whale of a beating.
Those fight birds who look to Will
lard to win believe Johnson has gone
back at tremendous pace. Also there
are soma cautious suggestions from
certain quarters that while the title is
getting worthless to Johnson because
he is barred from the United States,
it would prove of immense money-get-
ting value to the Kansan. The boys
who wager real money On the scrap
are not losing sight Of this fact either.
Reports from Juarez say that the
Mexican gambling house proprietors,
curio shop dealers and gents whose
bars have never been known to close,
are washing their pink and blue store
fronts and preparing for big bust
ness. Incidentally, General Villas
brother, part owner of the biggest
gambling dive in the border town,
counts on grabbing out OF the throng
OF fight bugs about as much coin as
Johnson or Willard
II johnson emerges from the Juarez
bout safely. he will be confronted by
the two Sans" McVey and Lang
ford, who are waiting for crack at
their colored brother. Johnson is now
thirty-seven years old and it looks
like a sure bet that the crown will
drop from his peak, If not in one OF
these three prospective battles, at
least within a short time.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Upholding the
contention that reformations worked

and National leagues Of any signs OF
being a trust, Attorney Geo. Wharton
Pepper today resumed his argument
before Federal Judge Lands In the
baseball suit
Attorney Pepper today planned to
emphasize the startling point brought
out late yesterday when he declared
that the new contract in vogue in the
signing Of players, means that every
player who was signed for the season
of 1914 will be absolutely free at the
end of 1915 to sign with anybody IN
the world" Pepper explained, how
ever. that some contracts call for long
terms. The condition exists, accord

nation of the reserve clause in con-
tract The passing UP of the reserve
clause, Pepper contended, was one OF
the important reformations worked In
the recent strides of organized base
ball from evils he admitted have
existea previously.
Another point made by Attorney
Pepper which rather surprised his
hearers, was the open admission that
organized baseball officials generally
believed that Charles W. Murphy did

he sent The latter to the minors after
his long service with the Cubs.

ITALIANS BELIEVE
DIRE PREDICTION
Fortune Teller Says Greatest Earth
quake Of Them all Will Come
Next Monday.

.[By Alice Robe, United Press Stan
Correspondents
ROME, Jan. 22.-The prediction OF
a toothless old seer that central and
southern Italy would be visited by
the most terrific earthquake in the
worlds history on January rs, caused
widespread panic among the poorer
and superstitious classes.
A wrinkled faced old woman, in a
little village of Abruzzo. is held re.
sponsible for the circulation of the
report. Claiming to possess wonder
full clairvoyant powers. she told her
neighbors that the coming OF another
earthquake had been foretold to her.
Whole cities would be reduced to
ruins, she said, and the loss Of life
would be greatly in excess of that in
last weeks quakes.
The report spread quickly through
Avezzano and other towns where
rescuers were still searching for
bodies of victims of the recent quakes.
Refugees huddled together in tents
and sheds, were thrown into wild
panic. Some fell on their knees,
weeping and wringing their hands. as
they prayed. Others congregated near
the ruins of churches and discussed
the story in tones of awe.
When news OF the report reached
Rome, every effort was made to keep
it from reaching the lower classes
here. Active steps were taken to
have the clergy and officials in the
stricken districts call the people to.
gether and ridicule the story.
