Reports from Havana today arc io the effect thai Jess Wlllard, cowbo)
pugilist, is lacked by four-fifths of the ring experts to win the championship
battle against Jack Johnson. The fight will take place on Monday.
Itain or shine, the battle will be fought, provisions for a canopy over the
ling having been made. Reports that Johnson icould Uc down wcic nailed by
the black, who said there was not money enough on the island io make him flop.
A sensational ttpurt of betting on Monday's haul hi aught a change In odd
today to favor Jcsi Wlllard The prevailing flymen were r, to on the Kaunas
coicboy's winning hail night quotations of 7 to ."., utii Johnson on thr flood
end, reeled suddenly around to even money.
There uai a wild rumor flying about that the tip had been gucn out that
it was agreed Wlllard should win. Where it originated no one Knew. The
fight promoters indignantly denied any plans and insisted the sudden shift in
odds was due to the big influx of fight fans from the States, weighted down
With U. S. A. coin of the realm and intent on taking the white man's burden.
Already the scat sale has reached 100,000. A 200,000 crowd Is expected.

HAVANA, April 3. There will bo no
hitch In holding the Jack Johnson-Jess
Wlllard championship fight on Monday.
"Weather conditions will not Interfere

to rain on Monday as It Is for the sun

But If It docs rnln the men will flsht be

the rliiR. But It It inlns there will be
no movies taken, and this will bo a big

States to know that when I step Into the ring
against Wlllard that 1 11 be In the beat sliapo

By BARRY FARIS
HAVANA, April 3. With both fighters
claiming perfection of condition for Mon
day's championship of the world set-to,
keenest Interest was manifested by fight
fans early today In the showing Jack
Johnson will make against Sam McVc,
In tho sW-round exhibition bout this nftei
noon. Curley's pleadings of possible In
Jury to Johnson requiring postponement
of the championship battle have been un
availing. The big black Insists he'll get
a good workout In the McVey mill and
won't get hurt.
One thing Is ccrtaln-the Johnson-McVey
work-out won't be a love feast. SftVcy Is one
Df the trio of blacks including tangford and
Johnson, the McVey and Iugford portions of
which liave olwajs believed they were Just as
good ns Johnuu, and who havo mourned tho
lact that clrcumstunces gave Johnson the
clianco to grab tho title. Johnson never would
glvo mem a fight. Langford once was re
ported to have traveled all the way across the
continent, incognito, simply to get n chanco to
take no n bombistlc challenge by Johnson,
then doing theatricals, that he would fight six
rounds with any one The storj went that
Johnson backed out when Longford was
siotted
McVey is reported to have made peace with
Johnson, but nevertheless those who know the
craftv black man insist he'll do his best thla
afternoon to squaro things
rlnal hoxlng work-outs In both camps todaj
were the best. so rar staged. Wlllard made an
exceptloxrtlly brilliant showing, apparentli cut

available sort of steamship has been pressed
Into tiervlce between Havana and Kej West
to bring tans over, nnd still It was reported
that there were MOO people 1n the Florida
town unable so far to obtain passage
Flannlgan, Johnson's chief second, declare I
today the big smudge would force tho fighting
. 'He'll tear Into Wlllard from the tap of the
bell." Flannlgan asserted "Johnson and all
of ua In his camp expect to see Wlllard
knocked out within 12 rounds. Jack knows
Wlllard's game Is to try to outwear him but
tliero'll be no chance nt stalling. Johnson will
pres things fiom the start "
"8n mujh the better," was the comment or
Tom Jones Wlllard's manager, on thla state
ment. 'Wlllard ls going to win we're sure
of that "

Always Something Or Worse
It's hard to make a move that Is universally

anng comes a critic and complains because
Bill hasn't any left-handers In camp.

'Harvard takes little Interest In spring font

on us or several others we know.
In spite ot which Haughton and the Harvard
Football Committee have tbe right Idea. Mod
ern football is no gamo to be picked up and
mastered from the middle of September Into
late November a matter of two months. The
kicking and the passing game now are too im

grappling with a football, whether thrown or

How Good is J. Johnson
Dear Sir l'vo seen Johnson called the great
est fighter that ever lived, nnd (I've seen
wheio othera rated him only ns a second
class pugilist. Where should he be ranked
nmonc tho best men In the game, thn old
timers, etc. .' V I
Johnson may havo been n great fighter,
but In his entire career hu has never had to
beat a great fighter In condition to prove his
status.
He has never met a first-class heavyweight,
except Jim Jeffries, who was merely a hunk
of meat, minus tho vllal spark, when Johnson
beat him down. On this account Johnson will
never bo rated In the history of tho ring as
any world-beating wonder for history is based
moro upon actual record than upon opinion.
Nnd Johnson's greatness Is more a. matter of
opinion than It Is ot record.
"I Intend to bat .400 thla season nnd beat

One more lctory for the Penn swim

now, following the locals' victory last
night over the Yale team. The third

When the 100-yard swim, the last event of

pinned their hopes, to capture the event, and
tho Yale cheering section was Just as loud in
Its pleadings to Itosner to win
Khrvock. Itosner, Masten and rergruson all
took to the water at the crack of the gun, and
at the first tank's length Itosner led by about
a font. When the other end of the tank was
