KK JoHNSONrD'S CHAMPI0NSHIP HISVVToRHyT,oVE?
Jess Willard was born December 29, 1887, in Pottawatomie county,
Kansas: At 14 ho was a tall slim boy, as big as any man, and he under
topjc a man's work cow-punching.
Willard soon had to nbainlon thi's as none of the cow ponies were
hiffh enough in the withers to ko'-rt h feet off the ground. He was
more than six feet tall at 10 and 'it 22 had attained his present heighth
of six feet six inches,.
But Willard was no veed. That apparent slenderness carried with it
powerful, well apportioned musclos nrd Willard's companions, finding
that none was a match for him in the ;ough cowboy games of wiest
ling and boxing, persuaded him to try his skill in the squared circle as a
professional fighter. , ,
Willard did. The first fight, of w) ic!i there is any record was with
Louis Fink, in February of 191 1 at S ir -ilpa, Okla., the town which gave
Carl Morris to the ring.. . Willard lo t on a foul in ten rounds.
Then followed five knockout victo.ie in a row. One of these went
11 rounds, but four rounds was the limit for the others. Two ten-round
victories ended the 1911 season for Willwrd and he was. firmly established
as a boxer. .
But Carl Morris, the giant ffre n in, was attracting all the attention
in the Bouthwest, so Willard went f Chicago. There Charles Cutler, the
American wrestling champion, took him in charge, put him through a
course of training in boxing and in that neighborhood Willard soon add
ed three more knockout victories to his credit..
Thi.n Willm-H wpnt. nn tn New York and acouittcd himself credidtahiy
in two no-decision bouts with Arthur Pelkey and Luther McCarthy, short
ly before these two met in the
battle that qilled the last named,
recognized at the time as the
white heavyweight champion.
Sailor White was doing well in
the eust before Willard upset him
in one round at Buffalo. A. few
weeks later one of the best fights
of his career took place, when he
stopped Soldier Kearns, ,a touin
heavyweight, in eight rounds.
Joss opened the 1913 season by
knocking out two hopes around
Chicago. Then he went to San
Francisco and lost a 20-round de
cision to Gunboat Smith. The
referee's ruling was by no means
popular.
A demonstration of Willard"s
punching power resulted in a ring
tragedy on August 22, 191:!, when
he knocked out "Bull" Young in
11 rounds at Vernon, Cal. Young
died the next day. ,
Willard has since' left the wing
of Charles Cutler and put himself
in chnrge of Tom Jones, nniiid
gcr. of Ad Wolgast.. Ho stopped
a fellow in two rounds at Fort
Wayne, Ind., and went on to New
York again, to win from Carl
Morris in 10 rounds. George
,.. -Davis lasted two rounds before.
the giant, then Boer Rodel took
the count in nine rounds.
Willard, having fought himself
out of opponents, did little in 1914,
but wait and keep himself in con
dition for the match with John
,son, which was thono in the first
stages. I

Dreadnoughts May Have 16-inch Guns
Washington, April 5.-The two bat
tleships provided tfor in the current
naval hill may be armed with 16-inch
rifles, the heaviest naval guns ever
designated.
While tentative plans for the new
ships contemplate vessels similar in
general design to the ' 32,000-ton
giants of the California class now
building, details of the armame.nt and
I engine equipment are being ' given
unusual attention by navy designers
and the results obtained by the 15
inch main batteries of the newest
British and German battleships are
being closely watched. ,
Already the new 16-inch navy gun
has been subjected to tests at the
Indian Head pioving ground, and
while details of .its construction and
performance are closely guarded, it
is known the gigantic weapon has
given proof of its efficiency which
delighted navy ordnance experts. The
gun was built at the American naval
gun factory, and has boon undorgo
i ig tests for several nvmths.
Some idea i the pioV.ble :.e of
the new American gun may be gath
ered from- the fact that each of the
eight 15-inch guns of the British -at-aleship
Queen Elizabeth weighs 9G
tons, while similar rifles designed in
the Krupp works for German battle
ships laia down this year each weigh I
mre than 82 U ns. The 11-inch rifles
of the battleship New York and 1
Texas for the five new American 1 1
dreadnoughts now under construction j J
weigh 03.8 tons each, and ;i is certain i
the new Hi-inch weapon weit'hs m-;rei
than 100 tons without it nnunting.
Krupp engineers have designed a
lb-inch gun which fires a projectile
weighing 2028 pounds, acainst the
1675-pound mass of steel hurled bvli
the 15-inch rifles adonted for tno
German navy and the 1720 pounds
projectiles poured into Turkish for
tresses of the Dard.anfcl es bv the
British battleship Queen Elizabeth.
The New York, Texas, Nevada and
Oklahoma each carry 10 14-inch
guns, while the Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia, Idaho and MississiDni each
will carry 12 placed three to a tur
ret, these weapons throw Droiec-
tiles weighing 1400 pounds as is the
case with the 14-inch guns designed
for the four JapanesD battleshms es
timated for in 1914.
