Former Weller Weight Champfon OF
The World


NEW YORK, May 12-Full credit
must be given Jess Willard for a re-
markable triumph of age over youth
in his flight with Young Floyd John
son saturday afternoon.
Willard took all the punishment
the young Californian had to offer.
He took it," as we understand 1t
in the ring. and stood up through 1t.
Then, just before the bell rang at the
crushing right uppercut to John
sons jaw that knocked young John
son cold.
Frankly, l was surprised at the
showing of Willard. He fought in
flashes throughout the bout. Up to
the round of the knockout, only three
or four of the ten rounds were in
rounds it was youth boring in on age.
1t must be remem bered that when
Willard fought his last fight some
four years ago, Johnson was but a
youth of eighteen years. Johnson is
now 20. Willard is 40, yet Jess
withstood the rushes of the younger
man, took all that he had to offer
the body. and then knocked him out.
Jess Was Nervous
Willard was nervous before the
fight. That. l think, was natural
considering that it had been four
years since he had appeared in the
ring and faced such a crowd as was
gathered in the great Yankee stad-
ium this afternoon. AS the referee
was giving Willard and Johnson their
instructions, Willard kept pulling
away, and starting toward his cor
ner. He was hauled back, and the
lecture continued.
Instructions were given as to hit
ting on the break-away from clinches
and then the referee told both boxers
the rabbit punch" was barred. Jess
would get an ear-full and then start
off for his corner. But his second
would bring him back for the fin
ish Of the instructions. Willard tried
to break away three or four times
and to get on with the fight before
the instructions were finally COM
plete and the fight was on
