willard, like the others, will not
want to fight and those behind him
won't allow him to fight. There are
| tons OF money in sight and Jess Is en-
titled to go out and get some of 1t.
But Willard should not be allowed
to play too long or too strong on the
| hearts of the American public. We
are with him to a man and we want
him to feel that he has done some
thing big in defeating Johnson, whose
scalp the white race has been after
ever since the black man won the
championship. Willard, it is said, has
been offered 5000 for one weeks
work and that he will get $500 a
week for the next twenty weeks. In
the meantime we will expect Jess to
fight once in while just to let us
know we have champion.

Manager MacF'arland discoursed on
| Champion Kramer this morning and
ne told an interesting story of an In
terview with big Steve" Kramer, 1t
seems, isn't worrying about his title
as musch as is MacFarland, and &C
cording to the champions talk with
MAC" there isn't anything to be
feared from the promised attack on
the crown by Alfred Goullet.
@
There is trouble brewing at the
velodrome all right" MacFarland
said, land it won't be long before 1t
comes. The big doings will start just
as soon as that old championship is
at stake. I had a long chat with Kra-
mer last night and he did more talk
ing than he ever did before. You
know, the champ Is a man of very
few words, but II thoughts were words
he would have Webster backed off the
boards. I asked him what he thought
of the reported plot Matched by Fog
Ter and the Australians to cop his
title. He gave one of the Kramer
chuckles for an answer, but l finally
got him to open up and tell me Just
what he thought.
@
"'You know, "Mac,"' he said, that
plot, OF no plot, I am going to win
the title for the fifteenth time. I
know that I am in great shape right
now and it's early in the spring, so
should worry about what that sore
head bunch have UP their sleeve.
am not a novice at battling, as you
know, for you and 1 had many a good
one; but you can take it from me
that I won't stand for any rough
stuff being pulled that is out of order
I have always been a pretty fair sort
of rider, as far as fairness goes, and
all expect is an even break, and I'll
take care of myself without a mur-
mur, but If they try any of the game
they attempted to hand me last sum-
mer at Brighton Beach they will find
yours truly on the Job. only want
to tip you off, Mac" to one thing
the bird that beats me this year will
know he Is riding some. I have
strength this year, something never
had before, and no matter how strong
they make the pace will be there.
You just watch me in the fiye-mile
opens this year and / will prove that
I am a much stronger rider this year
than ever owe this to my good rest
this winter and I have also put in
some real work this spring.

"Tt is very evident from the way
Big Steve talked" Mac said, that
he is worrying very little over what
Fogler, Goullet & Company have
planned for this summer. There was
one thing I noticed, though, about
Kramer that reminded me OF old
times. His jaw was set as in the
days when Clark and were conniv-
ing to grab his crown. All I've got to
say is, Beware, Messrs. Fogler, Goul-
let, Neville & Company when Kra-
mer sets that jaw of his. I had a
sample of it and ought to know"
