Bout a Frame-Up'-Johnson
It's a Toke, Says Willard
l By GUY BUTLER. .
I HIS bhabit of “squealing” by
I prige fighters, of owning up to
1 fakes, is developing into a ma
inia, and before long the game I 8
| likely to sink into the mire, if a_rem
‘ady can not be found. A month or
| 80 ago, Fred Fulton signed a state
{mnnt in which he confessed that the
| Dempsey bout in New Jersey was the
| biggest kind of a frame-up except
that he was double-crossed, Now
duck Johnson, the venerable heavy-
Weight, bobs up with a declaration
that the Willard fight in Havana in
1915 was not on the level,
There is a reason for Johnson say
ing this, whether or not it is spoken
truthfully, The negro fs on the rocks
financially. The roll that he accu- |
mulated through his ring efforts has
[ gradually worn away until the former
| champlon has been foreed to say
;nmvthlm: in the hopes of enlarging
L,
Real Arranged.
A story is printed thia morning that
dohnson gave out the NEws to a pross
association that he allowed Willard
to win. He was given for doing this,
$30,000, entire rights to the moving
pleture #lms in Burope, 33 1-8 per
cent of the proceeds in the United
States and Canada, and a promise of
ald in settling Johnson's Chicago aif
ficulties =0 that he could return to
this country, so Johnson declares.
It had been arranged that Johnson
should drop to the mat, unhurt, hut
apparently out for the count of ten
in the tenth round. However, at Hm(l
time the white fighter was putting up
4 very poor exhibition, and Johnson
decided it would be best 1o let the
bout continne a few ré)unda more,
The twentieth was decided upon, but
when that round arrived, the cowboy
&till looked like a bush leaguer, so
the champion stuck around a little
while longer. In the twenty-sixth,
Willard was making a good enough
showing for Johnson to drop, without
any probability of the erowd getting
wise, and Johnson flopped after Wil
lard had landed a couple of good
blows in succession. That is the
Statement made by the negro.
Wants Another Fight.
Now the ex-champion demands an
other fight with Willard, at any place
or time, and is wimn’ to turn all the
money over to Clark Grifith's bat and
ball fund or to any charitable or
kanization, At the end of the state
ment, Johnson signs his name, with
the word “champion” longside,
Colonel d'Estrampes, backing John
son, hax wired a prominent New York
sport writer, asking for the address
of Jack Dempsey and Fred Fulton,
with the ldea of arranging matches
between these men and the negro
If Willard does not come through
satisfactorily, Johnson will clatm the
workl's heavywelght title, the story
rends
There has alwave heen a little
doubt in the minds of & number of
wellsikinown boxing men who saw this
fight as to it squareness, We have
no werd in the ma‘ter, not Dbeing
present.
One of the most famous weiters and
sport cartoonists in the country, T.
A, Dargan, known to the sporting
world as “Tad” has maintained since
that memorable dav in 1915 that there
was mome triek in it and that the
fight was not exactly as it should
have been. s

“l consider Johnson's Imputation a
huge joke. From what I have gleaned
from press reports, the negro is down
and out, and anxious to get back into
the ”"T to make another big haul. 1
can truthfully say that my victory over
Johnson wui) clean-cut, and if there
was anythihg pre-arranged it was
wholly unknown to me. 1 fought my

the battle will agree, the best man won
“Johnson has probably been steered
into this underhanded way of blemish
ing the title 1 now hold by some un
scerupulous persons. Even if Johnson is
again placed in good stand with the
fight fans, 1 will never again flfht him.
1 have drawn the color line since my
bout with him, and 1 intend to stick to
it. Anyway, a bout with the negro
}wouldn'( draw enough money to pay
training expenses,
- “1 fought Johnson with the sole pur-
Poge in view of restoring the title to
the white race. Had that not entered
into the reckoning | would never have
fought in Havana."
Willard declared that he has only
been taking light workouts in prepa
ration for his bout with Jack Demnpsey,
but sald he would get down to intensive
training In about three or four weeks.

“Joe Choynski, in my opinion, was
the hardest hitter that ever stepped
into a ring-—-but it remained for little
Joe Walcott to hit me the hardest punch
that | ever experienced in all the years
that 1 was a warrior,” replied O Brier
‘lt Walecott had been blessed by na
tore with the physique of Choynski
i n certain that the crown would go 1o
bevond the guestion of a doubt, But
Walcott could put only 142 pounds or
80 into his drive while Choy ki was
backed up with something like 30 pounds
more And the extra bulk gives the
‘edge’ to the Californian
“I've seen them all gince Choynski
and Walecott passed from glory, but not
one has flashed Jdnto the big division
who can hit like Choynski and in more
than 20 years pugilism hasn't produced
a hitter among the lighter boys who
even remotely approaches Waleott,
“Choynski used to drop his men with
a single punch—either to the head or to
the body But Walcott rarely sent a
man to sleep with wallops to the jaw
The heart—that was his target Joa
was a physical freak. He notched only
a trifle beyond 5 feet, yet, at his best
fought welters and middleweight All
were 80 much taller than Joe that it
was a tough job for him to reach the
jaw So Joe perfected a body punch
the like of which was never seen in the
ring before and never since.
“It was in Boston that Joe hit me
the body blow that I actually believe
stopped the beating of my heart for
nearly 10 seconds; a punch that put me
‘out’ on my feet. But I didn't lose the
fight, and [ didn’t topple over. Why?
“Well, the promoters who had matched
us thought it would add to the attract

officinted as referee. ‘Rube’ was wild
about boxing, even though he knew only
1 little of the inside of the game, and
he eagerly geized the onpportunity to
bask in the limelight as the ‘third man’
for so important a fight,
“Joe and T were tearing along at a
great rate, with honors about even, when

: By CHARLES SHONESY,
; OE GASTON is not expecting ‘e
| J pitch for Tech High this season.
‘ He told me Wednesday that his
| shoulder was in bad shape this spring
{and that his control was not good. So
| upon the advice of Coach Enlow, he
has gone back to the position he once
| held on first base.
As everyone who keeps abreast of
{prep doings knows, Joe has had his
| shoulder broken several times during
each season, and as the past one was
not an exception (Joe being badly
bent twice and broken once) he has
| lost control over the pill,
He pitched several seasons of suce
|:~m-.-ful ball for the Sunday school and
i Grammar School leagues. Durmi:lh
|stay at Tech High his services have
{never been needed on the mound ua
{til this year. Tech High ioat every-«
' thing in the way of moundsmen last
| ®eason, and Joe was shifted from the
| first sack to the mound, at the be
| ginning of the present practice sea
{son. The old shoulder nas been a
| handicap and he has gone back to the
jold stamping grounds, the first sack,
With Gaston at first the old infleld
that was a whirlwind last seasen is
fonce more with us. There are three
lall-prep selections on this and the
|other player is a corker. Gaston will
| cover first. Gene Balwin will handle
| the affairs at number two, Captain
| Leonard “Mummy” Mumford will be
Hin the short field, and Albert Jordan
!\\xll be on third.
