the most seriously considered white
heavyweight with n chance for the title.

helping to box big Jess into shape.
willard has maintained from the start
that he would he prepared to put in two
strenuous weeks Of boxing before going
into the ring to defend the title for the
FIRST time. II he adheres 20 this policy
he must this afternoon to add
y few rounds to his programme. For
two weeks from to-day liz the date OF
the big match.
Reich would have gone on yesterday.
He offered his services free. But owing
TO the illness Of Tom Jones there has
been more or less uncertainty among the
willard handlers Of changing a schedule
which has been so beneficial to the COW
boy. However. willard intends TO retain
the three heavies who. have been boxing
with him all week-George Rodel. Mona
han and Hemple. Necessarily he's GUS
tomary six rounds an afternoon must be
heightened TO eight at least when Reich
comes nto play. Possibly the champion
may try himself out over the full route
OF ten periods. Reich has served notice
that he will he prepared to box rs long
as Willard gives the word.
Rsnhirds Are satisaed.
The railbirds who have been watching
Willard since he first went into training
here are satisfied that he has done him
self u whole lot u good. They are salts
ned too that he will be- in good physical
condition the night OF March %. Hut

enough with really high class men. Most
Of WIZARDS boxing has been with Mona
han and ltemple, and Monahan and
Hemple have been in the willard camp
40 long that Jess knows their every
move. lie tells almost by instinct WHAT
they are planning to do.
The debut OF Al Reich this afternoon
is awaited with unusual interest. AZ a
tria, horse for gymnasium work few
! letter men could be picked. Al Re'ch Is
big, powerful and fast. He Is an excel
lent boxer and "A two handed one. hs
can absorb a good stiff Jolt either to the
law or body without losing his under
pinning and he Is strong enough to tue
away In the clinches quite AS Justify As
Moran. Reich's appearance therefore
will furnish the very best line possible
40 far on whether or not Jess WHARF
has rAcovered his eye and his judsmen'

him two weeks hence.
There in little doubt that George Rodel
has been a source of profit to WIZARD
the last five days. The champion is not
so accustomed To his style. Boer Rode'
Is Of the fighting type. always oorihs
in and always hitting from unexpected
ANGLES. Bun Rodel is too light for big
Jeff. He shapes up like a ptgmy against
the giant. lie Is not big enough to
prepare Willard for a man OF Morahs
strength and hitting power.
