Willard
"I have never felt for a moment
the result would be other than It
has been. For month* I have
been perfecting myself in boxing
science, knowing that In Johnson
I was going against a matter in
the art. I followed my own ideas
through the twentr-sfat ennnds. I
knew It was necessary for me to
light with extreme care in the
early stages of the contest until I
found just what JoXinson pomsess
ed. I quickly discovered t!iat his
blows l»ck<-d any power. He tried
all Ills famous punches right from
the outset, but tliey never phased
me. I wasn't even jarred hy one
of them. That <-ame first as a sur
prise to me. but gave nic just the
confidence ■ needed. I united un
til he had worn liimself out try
ing to put me away then whipped
over a straight right blow with
which I knew I eonld win the
championship, t want to say for
Johnson that I never fought a
cleaner man. He never resorted
to foul tartles. but ou the con
trary tried to make it a good,
dean tight. He hes been the
most criticized champion that ever
lived, but certainly 1 found him a
' 'white' man hi the ring."'

Williamsport Man Used
to Whip Jess Willard
When They Were Kids
Williamsport, Pa., April 6.—One of
the happiest men in Williamsport to
night is David G. Willard, first cousin
of Jess Willard, the new heavyweight
champion. Willard is proprietor of
a hotel. When he and Jesse were boys
they lived in the same community and
frequently engaged in friendly boxing
bouts.
"I boxed and whipped Jess many a
time, when I was a kid," he said to
day, "but of course he is a much bet
ter man now than 1 am: i wouldn't
want to try a round with him. now. I
was so confident that he would defeat
Johnson that 1 took all the bets 1
could get at even money. Jess is a
great fighter; I believe the greatest
America ever produced."

SPORTS WILE MAKE
AMERICA! "GIANTS"
Irish-American President Declares
Our Men Will Take Place of
"Big" Men of Emerald Isle
In an interview with Henry King in
the Xew York World, P. J. Conway,
president of the Irish-American Ath
letic club, declares that sports are
making giants of the American people
and that the activity of the country's
' °unc men will cause Americans to
take the place of Ireland's sons as tho
"big" men in track and field events.
Mr. King says:
"Before the next generation Ameri
ca will have displaced Ireland as the
home of athletic giants. The men from
the Emerald Isle will continue to grow
to a gigantic size, but our men will
surpass them physically.
"Athletics will accomplish this;
sports made the Celts the most power
ful race physically in the world, and
they will do the same for us; they will
make our men bigger and stronger,
healthier and heavier, and before an
other decade the -Irish giant and
'whale' will be heard of only in his
own land. It will be the American
who will attract the atention of the
world for his powerful phvsique "
This is how Patrick J. Conway, the
veteran president of the Irish-Ameri
can Athletic club, began an interview
in which he was asked to tell his im
pressions of the jport.
Mr. Conway is 56 year old. When a
youth in Ireland he was a great ath
lete. \v hile he participated in all
kinds of sport, he made a specialty of
throwing the heavy weights. To-day
his physician says he is physically per
fect.
Like the late James E. Sullivan, Mr.
Conway is a student of athletics He
has made a study of the game and
knows all the intricate points of all
track and field sports. He has been
president of the Irish-American Ath
letic club for twenty years, and has
directed the development of many of
the world's greatest athletes.
What the Irish lad did centuries
ago. our boys are doing now," con
tinued Mr. Conway. "In all parts of
Ireland athletic sports were consid
ered part of the boy's duties. Their
parents were athletes and they were
compelled to take them up too. No
poor boy was too poor to be an ath
lete. It he lacked sufficient money
to belong to an athletic club where
he oould he taught alt kinds of sport
he formed a little club of his own; if
implements or track togs were not
within his reach he hurled heavy
stones as weights and ran races in
"homemade" togs. He was seeking
strength and health, and he got it.
"Now that is exactly what Ameri
can lads are. doing to-day. Their par
ents and teachers realize the good
athlettcs will do for the youngsters
and they compel the children to take
up some kind of sport. They send
the huskier ones to run across coun
try, others to take short runs, still
others are sent to the ball field, the
gridiron, the gymnasium, the basket
ball court and even to the boxing and
wrestling rInRS.
"Any of these are good for boys.
While I personally believe track and
field sports are best to develop our
young men, I know too that baseball
and boxing and all other kinds of
sport will work wonders for a hoy. If
the parents and teachers will keep
the boys from overdoing it, I repeal
that many youngsters of to-day will
develop into men as big and strong as
our McGralhs. Ryans, McDonalds and
Flanagans .who were Imported from
the Emerald Isle."
