JOHNSON'S LACK OF USUAL PACE SURPRISES FANS

BY JACK JOHNSON. Two mor day of good work - outs will fit me for the battl . of my caroor. I fool good onough , now to fight forty-five rounds, but want to have a few more workouts to at to bo In condition o glvt Willard tht most artlstltf . boating any championship atpU rant over received." BY JESS WILLARD. "I am hardly able to await the bell that will tend us Into the . ring. I have waited to long for , a chance to win the ehamplonahlp , that the time now to near makes me wild to get into the ring. I feel good enough to beat John- ' eon with orfe hand tied behind my back." HAVANA, April 1. In the most dieappointing workout shown so far, Johnson proved yesterday that he must get better between now and Monday or he is in for the beating of his life. Jack slouched through a few miserably bad rounds with his sparring partners. Several times he was plainly distressed so that the spectators in the back rows remarked it. He continues to carry some weight that will be in the way when the pinch of long, hot fighting under a broiling sun comes. The big black isn't nearly as good as he showed early in the week. He seems to be sagging off and appears to be worrying over the cock and bull stories of Willard's prome6s. Johnson says he is Isn't worrying in the least and laughs at the stories, but close friends declare that he is more anxious than he shows and asks endless questions about Willard and what he is showing. Jack doubtless is in a good condition as he can possibly got, but it Is now generally admitted that that is not good enough for a man of Willard's size, strength and hitting power. Bat Masterson, Bat Nelson and Billy Rocasb of Philadelphia, joined the Willard banner today after the workouts at both camps, Johnson's poor form being a great surprise to every one. Jack 'kidded his way through, bluffing his sparring mates, but he didnt fool the critics. Willard's work,' too, was slow, his sparring mates being badly broken up. Savage was stopped with a stunning jaw punch. Jess never looked better. Bat Maaterson says Willard is a conch now; Bat Nelson insists that Johnson will collapse like Jeffries did at Reno when the bfg test comes and Rocap Bays Willard is no less than an even Money shot.

GRAND RALLY LAUDS VICTORY FOR VIGflANS Jumping ' on to the' offerings of P. Hiatt In the fourth inning the VIgrans held a regular merry go round tallying sixteen timet. It wit certainly torn rally and cam at tbt right time because the near Champa were . trailing along1 behind a 11 to S acore.. Perhaps the feature of this game was the base running of the Vigrana who broke all records with 68 thefts. ' In this frame the first seven men up tallied two apiece boost

lng their percentage In runt consider

ably. The second Inning was the banner one for the Panhandler when they made six with the aid of eight hits. The work of the twirlers was about par with Helmlck shading Hlatt a little in the matter of runt and control. Score and summary v v - R. H. E.

Two' practice games have been scheduled by Ray Brubaker. coach of the Earlhajn team. Yesterday be made arrangements to play the Advance-Hill team Saturday. This will be the first game of the season for both teams.. On Saturday, April 17. the Vlgrans will be taken on by Bru'a bunch., ;. "Our prospects for ' a good team seem pretty good," says Ray, "and especially am, I pleased with the work shown by the former high school second sacker. W. Meranda. He has only

been out a couple of times, but from

what he showed I -believe he will

make us a good man. Meranda was considered a star while playing with

the high school team and with a little experience is bound to make the team because of his natural ability."
