The accompanying picture of Willard, taken at his training camp a few days ago, seems to indicate that he isn't a hit down at the mouth and that he is in fairly good condition. Wlllard claims to be very confident of success; but a comparison of the ring records of the two heavyweight battlers shows the marked advantage of the title holder over the challenger In actual glove campaigning. Johnson began his pugilistic career in 1901, and since that year has figured in seventy-eight bouts for a total of 696 rounds. During this stretch of years the negro has won twenty-five contests by knock-outs and twentyseven by decisions. He also participated in twelve no-decision matches and seven draw bouts. In addition, Johnson has wo i two battles as the result of his opponents' fouls, lost one on his own foul, one by knockout, and three on adverse decisions by referees.

According to these tabulations Willard's percentage of victories is .758 to Johnson's .692, and his percentage of knockouts .586 to the champion's .320.

Willard's principal bouts have been against other white hopes .who have sprung Into prominence within the last two or three years. Against these men Willard's work has been mediocre.
