NEW YORK. July 2s.-Among the

The name OF Roper doesn't suggest
much. unless We remember that he is

Prior TO entering the army Roper
was a physical culture trainer around
Chicago. Some years ago he met
Johnson in the Windy City and at
that time his ability as a boxer and
fighter impressed the Big Smoke, who
never forgot him
Only a few months ago Roper
received his discharge from the
army and while the fistic fans Of
the country were all bet mp over
the prospects of the big fight ut
Toledo. Roper went to Mexico
City with Charley Cutler to join
the former champion there.
Cutler. who once was WIZARDS
MANAGER. and who claims that VIII
lard threw him over. has long been
seeking a man to beat the big COW
boy. Jack Johnson. a man without a
country but still a seeker Of revenge
against the big white man who beat
him at Havana. has also been longing
to find the man TO get his revenge
for him by proxy So between Cutter
and johnson Roper was taken in tow
and training preparations began
willard Was Choice.
At that time the big fight was
still many weeks away Johnson was
confident that Willard would defeat
Dempsey easily. He didn't believe
that the man who whipped him could
be beaten by the little fellow" Cut
Ter thought the same way and the
training Of Roper went merrily on
Now with the bi= fight over
and Willard UncroWned- johnson
has lost his o1Dortunlfy to get
revenge on Willard by proxy
through Roner. hut he expects 10

to defeat Jack Dempsey
Roper Is training daily with John 4
