WILLARD CONSIDERED BEST
OF WHITE HOPE CROP.
Big Texan Will Face a First Class
Heavyweight Champion Monday.

There seems to be no doubt as to
Wizards right to be called the best
of the white hopes But that isn't
saying much when you look over the
list Of big fellows who have been
masqueradfng as probable conquerors
of Johnson. Columns, have been
written about the greatness of Albert
Palzer, the provinces of Bombardier
Wells, the powerful hitting of Gun
boat Smith, the gameness. of Frank
Moran and the ambitions of Jim
Coffey and Al Reich. The Inflated
Luther McCarty was hailed as the
champion of the white race until he
was carried 1ifeless from the ring,
killed by a blow delivered by Arthur
Pelky, who now plays the role Of
punching bag at New York clubs.
Carl Morris, another giant, who left
the locomotive cab to become the
challenger of Johnson, was exploded
in Madison Square Garden when Jim
Flynn battered him to pulp. Rodel,
the Boer, proved to be another pugil-
istic false alarm, while Jim Savage,
Fred Mckay, Soldier Kearns, Sailor
White and other alleged fighters OBJ
tanned the public's money under false
pretenses for awhile. But Willard, a
green Texan two years ago, has COM
manded respect at this time and, with
the exception of Johnson, nobody has
been willing to make a match with
him since he whipped Carl Morris to
a fragile. Willard, it is true never
has faced a first-class heavyweight SO
that it remains to be seen how he will
behave when he toes the scratch with
the negro next Monday.

Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd, the Plainfield association foot
ball team retained its laurels in de-
feating an All-League team picked
ton Football league on the Provi-
dence street grounds, Taftville, Fri
day afternoon by the score of to O.
The upstate boys played a superior
game in all stages and held their rep
utation as a smooth working combina-
ton. Underwood, the undisputed giant
on the field, played a corking. game,
scoring three OF the goals for the Wis
itors, and in general was about the
liveliest man on the field. The game
was for the benefit of the British war
relief.
The A11-League team won the toss.
Immediately after the kickoff the
Plainfeld boys started with a savage
attack, and before five minutes were
up Underwood had planted the initial
goal. The Ieaguers, realizing the tough
proposition they were up against, how
cred near the Plainfield goal and time
after time they were repu1sed from
scoring, intermingled with excellent
chances to score which they failed on.
After several corner kicks by both
sides, and much give and take variety
of play, in which Pilling and Knowles
starred, the half ended with lively
scrimmage near Plainfield's goal.
Score, Plainf1eld 1, All-League Q.
L
bination played rings around the
Leaguers, who were handicapped for
some time with the dropping out of
Blanchette, who received an injury,
but he entered the game later on. The
Leaguers' goal was attacked time after
time, but through Sutton and Goal
Keeper Pennington the opponents were
driven back In this half the Leaguers
missed several chances to score. The
brilliant defense work displayed by the
Plainfield- team in this period was OF
very noticeable nature, and on ex-
cellent passing James Greenhalgh
pierced the Leaguers' line for a score.
The play from then on seemed livelier
than before and both goal keepers were
forced to show their defense work to
the best of their ability. Before the
end of the half, Underwood scored two
| more goals, making a total Of four for
the winners.
The summary and ineups follow:

JOHNSON AND WILLARD
TRAIN IN SPITE OF RAIN.
White Hope in Sparring Showed Ex
eeiIent NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Set on
Boxing Money in Exhibition Bout.

Havana, April Jack johnson and
Jess Willard trained between heavy
downpours of rain today for their
championship fight next Monday. The
storm and a high wind made the task
unpleasant. The road work in the
early morning was light, owing to the
wet and slippery roads. The exercise
at the afternoon exhibitions was hard
er, particularly in the case of Willard.
The challenger went through his
stunt before a alrge holiday crowd,
each one of whom paid 40 cents admiS-
sion. Willard boxed three rounds each
with Hemphill, Savage and Monahan,
showing unusually good form. His in
fighting was the best he has shown. He
tried using the crouch this afternoon.
He was fast with his left occasionally
using his right, and slugged with Saw
age and Monahan at times. After the
boxing he wrestled and threw the med
icine ball.
Big Smoke Before Motion Picture Ma
chine.
johnson worked this afternoon be-
fore a motion picture machine, desert
ing the regular ring for a restricted
space on the floor. He boxed eight
rounds with Mills, Scott and Bell. His
final round, which was with Bell, last
ed eight minutes, and the champion
joked with the spectators as he fin
ished, showing no sign of exhaustion.
There is much uneasiness among
members of the fight syndicate over
Johnson's insistence that he will box
Sam McVey six rounds on Saturday
Apparently no amount of argument
can change the champions mind. He
says that those of the public who have
bet on him are entitled to get a final
line on his fine condition. The bout
Saturday, he asserts, will be not fight
but hard exhibition He declares
that as champion he can and should
be able to protect himself against all
corners at all times and that if he
could not he should retire and give
others a chance at the title. Johnson
said he broke his arm on Jim johnson
and then could not be defeated. There
is no chance of his being injured by
McVey, he believes.
johnson Will Retire.
McVey says he wants to return with
if johnson is still champion, he will
turn the title over to him when he an
nounces his retirement from the ring
Johnson states that he will retire, but
is not certain that he will give the
championship to McVey as Jim Jeffries
keen to retain his glory as long as he
lives.
The champions continued improve
ment with the little public work which
he has done has given rise to a story of
secret training, which Johnson denies
with a laugh. It is reported that he
was seen boxing on his roof at day
break with McVey, but the latter also
denies the report. When advised by
his friends to do still more work, John
son replied:

ton, and I am satisfied. know that
