toward the pastime, the general public
really thought well of him.
1t regarded him as a home man
and q business man, as well as o
fighter. His private life was clean.
For that reason his popularity was
greater than the boys in the back
rooms were willing to concede. viii
lard frankly didn't care for fighting.
which the boys in the back room took
as a reflection upon the Manly Art.
None the less, he was a great draw
ing card as was evidenced in his come
back, which hung up a worlds record
for net receipts for a charts show
of any kind. and in the attendance at
the Firpo fight when more persons
were in the seats than ever before
viewed a pugilistic contest.
I am told that Willard takes con-
siderable pride in the two records,
and is especially proud Of the first.
As compared to present day prices for
fighters. his purse of $4,000 was not
large. The show Noted approximately
5000. 900 for the charity fund.
Willard was the biggest man that
ever held the worlds heavyweight
title. He must have weighed around
265 pounds when he lost TO Dempsey,
yet he has not picked up much sddi-
tional weight in late years.
Moreover. be didn't begin boxing
until he was about 26. He was a pugil-
istic freak in more ways than one,
aud a better fighter at one period
than some folks think. When he was
:ot sed to fighting fury, he was a ter
rifle puncher, but he lacked natural
fighting instinct. There was no saw
agery in jess Willard's heart, save for
one individual.
That individual was Mr.. Harry
Frazee, the theatrical man, who after
wards owned the Boston Red SoK, and
who was one Of the bank roll men
Of the Johnson-Willard fight at Hay-
ana. For some reason Jess conceived
a violent hatred for the ubiquitous
Harry down there in Cuba.
He had just won the biggest title
in Fistiana, and was seated in an
automobile surrounded by cheering
Cubans, when Jack Curley, the pro-
Doter Of the struggle, showed through
the crowd, and held up his hand to
congratulate jess.
Now we can get nd Of that fellow
Frazee," was Willard's first and only
comment as he took the outstretched
hand Of the promoter.
