 the big bout decided upon securing Johnson's signature to the articles of agreement. The big champion was Tn France at that time and Curley was entrusted with the commission to go and find the Texas negro and secure his endorsement on the arti. cles which had been signed by Will lard a day or two previously. The syndicate which promoted the bout had picked Willard as the most prom ising of the white heavyweights to take the title from Johnson, and they still believe the Kansan will prove the victor.
 Curley arrived in Paris, France ear ly in November, only to find that Johnson had gone to London, Eng land. There Curley found him, and after a good deal of persuasion sue ceeded in securing the champions consent and signature. The moment Johnson signed his name to the con tract, which stipulated that the con test should be scheduled for twenty to forty-flve rounds, Curley handed $1,0OO to Johnson, which was half the amount to be allowed him for travelling and training expenses. This contract, bearing the date of Novem- Der Is, last assured Johnson that his end of the purse, shall be paid him before he enters the ring, and that in addition Johnson is to receive one half of the net amount received from the moving pictures taken of the con test.
 Curley went back to America and completed arrangements to hold the fight on the race track at Juarez, Mexico, on March 6. Early in Jan uary Curley received a cable from Johnson. at Buenos Aires. and imme- diately wired him $1,OO0, the other half of the expense money from New York and left for Juarez the day fol- lowing. At that time and for sev- eral weeks afterwards Curley be- lieved that the bout would surely take place at Juarez, but subsequently, he had to change all his plans.
 Willard left New York for Fl Paso, Texas. early in January. and began training at the Knaublack ranch, Jan uary 25, where he remained hard at work for month. Meanwhile Cur ley was disturbed with rumors that Johnson would not be able to reach Mexico in time. The negro and his party arrived at Barbadoes, B. w. l., February 8, and sailed from that port for Cuba three days later. On Feb ruary 21 Johnson reached Havana, and kept the wires to Mexico busy with messages to the effect that he would not fight at Juarez.
 Curley was persistent in his efforts to bring off the match as scheduled, and started for Havana, where he met Johnson on March 8. There he made arrangements to have the bout take place in Havana on April 8, but finally settled every detail for the de- cision of the worlds championship at the Mariana race track next Monday.
 In the meantime Willard had broken up his training camp and started for Los Angeles, Cai., but was induced to return to Texas. He got to El Paso on March Il, and accompanied by his managers and handlers, left for New Orleans enroute to Havana the same day, arriving in Cuba March 16.
