WILLARD OPENS
HARD TRAINING
Champion Secretly Prepares
For Forthcoming Bout !,
With Dempsey.

New York, April 16.-Jess Willard.
worlds heavyweight champion, is
training secretly at his home in
Lawrence, Kan, according to j. Dor
gan, secretary to Tex Richard. pro-
moter of the proposed bout between
Willard and Jack Dempsey, scheduled
or July 4. Dorgan declares that he
has received information from Ray
Archer. Wizards business manager,
to the effect that the champion has
entered into a training to put him
into fine physical shape to defend his
title.
Willard is evidently not making the
mistake of undertaking Dempsey.
Through his active training Willard
demonstrates that he is expecting
serious opposition from Dempsey and
is preparing himself for a stiff go.
Archer informed Dorgan that Willard
has now been training for about two
months and is increasing his exercises
as the preparatory trials progress.
In addition to his training Willard
has adopted a diet to reduce his
weight. This indicates the serious
ness with which he is taking the
forthcoming bout. He has enjoyed
a rather easy time for the last three
years, entering no bouts of serious
consequence. in fact his last real go
since winning the title was that
match against Frank Moran in 1916.

HORSE RACES
Bull Fight Gives Way to
Successful Idea of Cur
ley Brown.

A real full-fedged promoter is
obliged to grapple with Old Man Elk
perience these days if he wants to
reach the goal of fame and fortune.
Curley Brown. a few years ago, con
ceived the idea of establishing the
running game in Cuba. Before hand

installation CT a plant on the island.
Brown conferred with some of the
leading racing minds Of this country.
Every one to whom Brown confided
his scheme, knitted a brow n turn
cd him down cold"
Brown had a bunch that his dope
was right, so he went ahead and
built his plant and proceeded to es-
tablish in the land of bull fights and
cock fights, the thoroughbred racing
game which Europe. Australia and
America loves so we'll.
For five long years Brown pleaded
with Cubans to p%atroniZe his game. A
crowd of 500 on a special day held
out big hope for the intrepid promot-
err. He was spending money faster
than he could hope to make it. The
wisenheimers declared the end was
not far distant. Brown began to be-
lieve it himself until the fifth season
rolled around and attendance figures
showed the experiment was working
out Now. the seventh season of the
game. in Cuba. Brown is enjoying big
business for the Cubans have learned
to rave about racing just as they
have raved for years about the bull
fight and cooking main.
Brown is not wen with his venture

Of seasons, for his returns are now
certain and the Cubans are bowling
for even more racing than they have
been getting. 1t is just a matter of a
few seasons until Brown will be
working "on velvet as they say in
turf parlance, and in the meantime
he has the satisfaction of knowing
his own idea has finally made good.
Now the average daily attendance is

Cubans love to risk some of their
