FIGHT EASE UP ON WORK
Willard Did Not Box Yesterday Doing
a Little Road Work —Johnson
Goes Six Bounds to Further Re
duce His Weight
Havana, March 31.—Willard did
not box yesterday. He ran in the
morning and in the afternoon swam at
Marianao Beach and visited the race
track. He is on edge for the fight and
loo'ks to be in perfect condition. He
is careful now not to overwork.
Johuson boxed six rounds. It was
a very hot day, with a clear sky and
a hot' sun. Johuson has taken off
much weight this week and Bays he
will fight at 2i20 pounds. He weighed
217 in the Moran fight, (2113 in the
Flynn tight.
When betting started here Johnson
was favorite at 3 to 1; the oddn are
now 9 to 5. Many here who saw the
Paris fight say Johnson looked us
good then, but tired badly after the
seventeenth round. Willard its much
better than Moran.
Havana, March 31. —Yesterday was
a quiet one Ln the training camps of
Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, the
heavyweight pugilists who arc to fight
at the race course at Marianao. April
5, for the championship of the world
in their class.
The government officials are deter
mined to take no chances of a serious
accident due to a fight between such
'big men. They have appointed three
physicians to attend at the ring side,
with oxygen and other stimulants to
Tevive the fighters in case of an un
usual knockout or a fall. They say,
however, that they will not interfere
with the proper termination of the
battle according to the code of the
ring.

JORNNY KILBANE CLEVER
Uses Eddie Wallace, of Brooklyn, as a
Punching Bag—Dundee Out
points Opponent
New York, March 31. —L»ittle Eddie
Wallace, of Brooklyn, proved nothing
more than a mere punching bag for
Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight
champion, in their ten-round bout at
the Broadway Sporting Club in Brook
lyn last night. The elusive Johnny
fairly smothered his opponent with an
assortment of hooks, jabs, swings and
uppercuts, which several times had
Wallace on the verge of a trip to slum
berlund.
Just near the close of the ninth Kil
bane landed a terrific left on Wal
lace's jaw. Tho Brooklyn lad's knees
sagged under him and it looked as if
he was going to crumple up from the
punch. However, he clinched and man
aged to last out. the round. The
weigliu were Kilbane, 130; Wallace,
126.
The champion received a tremen-
I dous ovation as he entered the ring.
I lie looked to bo in the best of condi
tion and as the bell rang he began an
j incessant attack on Wallace's face and
I body. At first the champion was n
, little cautious, but after he got warmed
jup to his task he simply bewildere 1
j Wallace with his speed and clever
ness.
I Johnny Dundee clearly outpointed
Frankie Callahan, of Brooklyn, in the
I other ten-round bout. Dundee was too
fast and clever for Callahan and won
the honors in the majority of the
rounds.

"Within the Law"
While "Within the Law," the in
tensely interesting play of modern con
ditions in Now York life by Bayard
Veiller, was in the height of its suc
cessful run, which lasted two years at
the Eltinge Theatre, the management
decided to give a special performance
before the blind of New York City a#d
this charitably intention was carried
out with the aid of the Matilda Zieg
lor Magazine for the Blind. More
than 1,000 sightless persons "saw"
the play. They came from the Home
for the Blind, the Industrial Home for
Blind Men and Women, and scores of
private homes. Many had never boeri
in a theatre before. The curtain went
up noiselessly, but the ears of the
blind told them and they applauded.
Before each act, Herman Bernstein,
n blind lawyer of 149 Broadway, New
Y'ork, arose in a box and explained
just what would happen. The scenes
were set as usual in deference to the
keenness of hearing of the sightless au
dience. The actors appeared in street
clothes. Never before has such gen
uine pleasure, such keen attention and
grateful appreciation been seen in a
theatre. Special programs in raised
type were distributed to the audience.
When asked about the play at the end
of the performance, Lawyer Bernstein
said that he had "seen" it six times.
"That is why I could explain it to
the others," he continued. "Some of
these blind people will be talking about
'Within the Law' Until the day they
jdie." The audience was very happy and
went away chattering and carrying
their theatre progrnms to read again
when they got home.
Mr. Veilier's stirring melodrama,
which proved its interesting qualities
when it was shown that oven the sight
less might enjoy it, will be seen at the
Majestic this afternoon and evening
with a cast of well-known players.
Clara Joel will be seen as Mary Turner,
the shop girl heroine of the plav.—

At the Orpheum
i Local theatregoers who miss the Or-
I pheuin's current bi lIV will be missing a
good deal. In the first place they will
j be missing the opportunity to see Hen
j rietta Crosman and her very capable
I company in an excellent dramatic
sketch called "Thou Shalt Not Kill."
Incidentally they will be missing the
opportunity to see Miss Crosman at
popular prices, for the first time in
i Harrisburg. Miss Crosman is one' of
j the few stars we have seeu at the Or
pheum this season, who have forsaken
|tiie legitimate stage in preference to
I vaudeville. The play and the players
I are, receiving words of praise by all
who have seen it. This dramatic'act is
surrounded by an array of some of the
best mirth producers the Keith market
boasts of. Swor and Mack, for in
stance, the minstrel cut-ups, who are
without a doubt the most popular black
face funsters who ever appeared at the
Orpheum.
A close, second to them for good fun
•ire Mr. and Mrs. Jack McGrecvy, the
"rube" character artists, who are cer
tainly a scfeam from start to finish.
Such quaint rural fun liasn't been seen
here in moons. Almost as popular as
either of these two is Milof There's
a nice cash prize awaiting you at the
box ofliee if you don't get some of the
best smiles of your life at this comedy
surprise act. Diamond and Orant, the
aged dancers in some of the latest ball
dances, is one of the bill's decided
novelties. In fact there isn't a dull
minute in the whole Orpheum bill.—
