Willard's Condition

Jess Willard arrived in the East to complete his training for the Floyd Johnson fight at the Yankee Stadium May 12. Journalists who witnessed his first work-out are at variance as to his condition and ability. Say some: "He has reduced to 241 pounds." Say others: "But he cannot reduce his 38 years by training !" In any event, Willard is no longer the stout, benignly middle-aged gentleman whom Jack Dempsey obliterated in three rounds at Toledo.
