Small Pair of Gloves
Caused Titleholder to
Suffer First Injury.
HovHeWas"Booh'd"in'
Fight With Rodel.
articim: in.
By JESS WILLARD
t HeaM nolght Champion of tha World.
I Good foil une has followed me In meat
of nn contests Only once ds I seri
ously Injured in a bnttle and that I can
account for the ln
experience thn,t I
showed.
Tills occurred In
tho sixth light I had
lh the ring nnd
biought me a broken
knuckle The Injury
since healed lilcely,
and I believe tha
knuckle Is strnneer
now than Is .was b
foie ll was hurt,
It was caused by
having too smnlt
gloves, nt least, the
gloves were too
smalt for my hands.
They wer the only
one we had, nnd I
simply had to use them. Aiter quite a,
struggle with my seconds we managed to
get the gloves on, nnd then 1 couldn't
shut iiij hnnds completely.
I was for cutting the gloves on the In
side, ini t eveiybody was afraid they
would hurst completely then and thus
prevent Hie fight, so I let 11 so as It Was. ,
My opponent wns Bert Schiller, n pretty
fair sort of n. young fighter But he was
eas.v for me to hit, and I knocked him
nut In the fourth round. Hut wlten'iliey
(Innllv cut the gloves off my hands. It
wnR found that the first knuckle ot my
right h.md was broken Thnt tauiht me
n good leson, nnd now whenever I am
matched I see to It that they have 4spe-l
chilly made gloves for me, glo'v'cs that
fit.
The whole tionhle with me up to a
shoit time ago was the fact that I neve.r
had nn experienced fighter to tou6h me
anything. Somehow 1 never could get
the right sort of n man to go with me
In my campaigns. Usually this was be
cause I couldn't nfford lo pav them the
price they wanted lo charge me for their
services. In the main I have Had trouble
enough getting money together that
would carry me along without hiring
another man. It had been a IoiirI) gilud
In the main, but I hope better times are
dawning now.
The result ot this was that I had ito
learn most everything I knew myself.
Some of It I learned all wrong and had
to undo a lot of It after I got goad men
with me, which wns In El Paso when I
mu started training for the Johnson
fight I hail Te O'ltoutke. Jim Sa"ige,
Walter Moran and .lack llemplo . I a
better hunch of fellows or more willing
workers I never have seen in one camp.
To I hem 1 owe much.
Probablv the worst exhibition I ever
put up hi m.v entire ciuocr was that
against George Bodcl lu Milwaukee, and
this, to my great chagrin, came at ,a,
time when I wanted to show the Chi.
ago crllicis what a really great man I
was , f
That was one time I lost m.v head In
the face of a hostile ciowd. It happened
In a peculiar way. Bodel, while n big
limn ns the nidlnnrv lienvv weight goes,
looked like n child In the ring aldng.- ,
side of me and before the end of the
first ,rqu,!jd 'was reached, the crowd, al
ways with the smnller man or "under
dog" started to "booh" me all over the
shop. ,,.
When I got back to my corner at the
end of the first round I" was boljlqg
with rage.
"Just for that' thev'll get a 'Jiooh
fight," I said to Tom Jones. And that's
what I tried to give them. I wag sorry ,
for It afterwards, but the farther I went
the madder I got and everj body knowi
that a fighter cannot do anywhcie near
his best when he Is angry.
It Is perhaps due to the fact that the
fight fan.s of tho big titles did not like
me that 1 became averse to living In big
cities. As a matter of fact I don't care
for olty life nt all and when I am le
tlred I sun'ly will pick out some quiet
inuntrv spot. Late hours seem to he an
ahsolute part of rliv life and 1 can't
aland late hours at nil.
