WILLAKD'S RIGHT UPPERCUT
HIS CHANCE FOR VICTORY
,
Cowboy's Jab That Killed YoUng Would Finish Jack
Johnson, If It Lands Ring Skill Versus
Strength Baseball Refugees.
A short uppercut to the body or Jaw U
the blow upon which Jess Wlllnnl ctcnrniln
to wrest from Jnck Johnson tha title of
world's heavy w right champion The
Cowboy's chance to land tho blow will
come Hosier Monday In Havana, when the
bulky whlto hopo and the crnfty black
clash for the covoted honor It was that
right uppercut of Wlllard's that killed tho
unfortunate "Hull" Young back In 1013.
Hut, to land this blow Is the question.
Here will come tho supreme test for Wll
lard. Last Monday night, at the Olympla
Club, Charley "Whlto landed dozens of
blows upon tho hard bead of his opponent!
Thomas, but failed to knock htni out.
Whlto seemed to fnlter Seriously when
hn saw tho falluro of his efforts It may
bo that way with Wlllnnl He Is pitted
nsalnst tho most skilled heavyweight
fighter In the world If he fnlls to land
ho may lose heart. Further, ho may be
come exasperated, when round after
round passes and ho Amis his famous
"sleep producer" Ineffective.
This, of course, presupposed that AV'll
lard will 1 nblo to keep Johnson off.
From tho nRturo of Johnson's ring tactics
It Is clear that tho black will not tako
tho Inltlatlvo; nt least, not early In the
fight. And, With Wlllard's superior reach,
soven Inches, It Is probablo that tho cham
pion may bo blocked. If Wlllnnl can so
command himself, so holds lihnsctt In
check, to nwalt bin opportunity and that
nlll bo when Jack Johnson Is tired down
thcro Is n chanco for victory.
Tho Wlllard Punch
As to Wlllard's punch, thero seems llt
tlo diversity of opinion. It Is a kick. Ex
perls generally agree that ho hits with
far greater forco than docs Johnson.
Hero Is what Jim Savage, ono of tho
cowboy's sparring partner's, says of that
punch:
"I'vo been kicked by a mulo. Tho mule
landed bis heels right on my chest nnd
klokca mo M feet. I bad soro ribs after
that. But when tho big fellow punches
ma In tho ribs I havo a soro back. Ho
nearly drives his fist through."
Jack Johnson's Condition
Speculation bas been greatest, In con
nection with tho fight, ns to Jack John
ton's condition. He has been photo
graphed as bulklly fat and In poor form.
This appears to bo untrue, for tho phy
sicians' statements agrco that he Is
within 10 pounds of his best fighting
weight. IIowoor, It Is not lmprobablo

Wlllard as n Novice
Supporters of Johnson depend upon tho
blnck's superior ring skill and Roneral
ship. Thoso who, whllo admitting that
Johnson hns struck tho slide, pick him to
win do so under tho belief Hint Wlllnrd
Is no better than tho rest of his set. Tho
fact that Wlllnrd lost a decision to nun
bunt Smith stnmps him as hopeless, tlicy
say.
Hut It Is well to remember Hint Vlllar
was a raw novice at that time, while
Smith was then nt tho height of his
form and celebrated far nnd wlelo ni tho
hardest hitler slnco tho dnys of Vltsslm
molis. Under tho circumstances somo ex
cuso can bo found for Wlllard's Inck of
nggrcs'lveness that cotat him tho de
cision At Hint, his defeat wns purely
technical. Actually he did nil the tonl
damago and would hnvo won had tho
light gone to n finish Too much rnutlon
cost Wlllnrd that fight. It was ery bad
generalship on his part, considering that
tho outcomo hung on n referco's verdict.
A finish fight Is a very different proposi
tion. Instead of being a detriment, cau
tion Is a very Important asset when noth
ing but a knockout counts.

Pennsylvania Is tho favorlto now for
two reasona. Tho llrst and most Import
ant Is tho fact that tho Quakers havo
moro veterans than Yale. Only two mem
bers of the Ited and nine's eight havo
been lost, and tho crow looks to bo oven
hotter than last year's boat Yale, on
tho other hand, has lost fire oarsmen.
Only Inst week tho Ells lost Captain
Denegre, who was obliged to glvo up
rowing on account of his health. Ills
placa has been taken by Sturtevant.
Tho second rearon for Pennsylvania's bup-
Knaed superiority Is tha fact that tho Quakers
avo been on the water for the last month
und havo been rowing together fullv two
weeks longer than Yale. The Ilcd and Illuo
oarsmen even started their speed work be

Thero is really no way o' comparing tho two
