reach the Cuban capital until some time
Tuesday. Dispatches from Havana in
dictate that Johnson is determined upon
a lengthy stay there, for he has leased
a furnished house for three months
and is making himself quite at home
Johnson is evidently much heavier
than people have imagined, for dis
patches to eastern papers declare that
when Jack gave an exhibition in Ha-
vaua last week he stepped on The
scales, as a courtesy to some news
papermen. and raised the beam at 245
pounds. Despite this weight he is said
to be carrying very little superflUOus
fat. His increase in weight is at
tributed to the naturally building up
of q. man Of his age and build. Johnson,
trained down. will go into the ring at
about 23O pounds, if he meets Willard
so the cowboy will not have a very big
advantage in that respect
Talk of bouts across the river for the
coming weekend is going the rounds,

nounce. The proposed bouts are be
tween Dundee and belmont and be-
tween ''Gunboat" Smith and Jim Flynn.

"Beck's" Amen Corner

PROFESSIONAL sports win liberal
support because the promoters
see to it that all their contests COM
mence promptly at the advertised
time. Most people prefer to see
amateur sports and these sports
would attract a much larger support
if they were run on schedule time.
"TOO DANGEROUS" was in Eff
feet, the reason one noted
driver gave for dropping out of the
Grand Prix race at San Francisco
on Saturday. Yet the promoters Of
big automobile races will persist in
endangering human life just to make
a few measly dollars.
ZANE doesn't seem to bother the
coast basketball teams. The
Illinois A. c. went out to the coast
with a wonderful record. It bumped
into the Oakland Y. M. c. A. and its
record didn't help bit, for the Oaks
won. Then the Oaks went down
before the Olympic club, of San
Francisco. This put the Olympics in
the final with Whittier college of
Los Angeles. The result of that
game has not yet been received here.
FIGHT FAN sends in a query
regarding the weight of heavy
weight boxers and wants to know
if Jess Willard is the heaviest man
the ring has known. Wizards
weight is said to be about 245
pounds. He is not, however, the
heaviest boxer known to the game.
Ed. Dunkhorst, who was knocked
out by Bob Fitzsimmons at Brook
lyn, early in 1900, weighed some
thing like $50 pounds and was
known as "the human freight car"
One of the old English champions,
in the bare knuckle days is reported
to have weighed around 500 pounds,
but cannot recollect his name. AS
a specimen of a big man, proper
tionately built, Willard probably
takes the prize.
