JESSE WILLARD TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE;
KANSAS COWBOY IS ONE HARD WORKER
' Js
The Kansas Cowboy is here shown earnestly engaged in strengthening:
himself by roughing it with his sparring partner. He anticipates having
difficulty wj/h Johnson on the infighting, and feels it necessary that he will
have to be very strong when the ctlored champion will attempt to wear
him down, as he did to Moran in their recent light. Willard is taking every
precaution for this fight and when the participants are introduced before
the fray the white race will be represented by a well-trained and coached
fighter. After the fight is over perhaps the cities troubled with heavy
smoke may want to interview Jess a s to the way to get rid of it.
