4 R FIVE YEARS JOR WILLARD Diampion Says He Will Retire t the End of This Ferioi if Undefeated. HE EXPECTS TO FIGHT OFTEN Rr nt5rr.sii)R. NEW TORK. April 34.-Jee Wlllarfl, lh ww thitorrt of th heaYywe4;ht, pecls to he world champion for five year and then retire undefeated. The Kansas lupormtn helleves that ha know tout hta own limitation, and he confide that he will not dahhla wltb the Tin Rama If ha urvtTe a champion for five yer. Then h wtll be readr for pugilistic ob livion, after havln reped the full re ward of retrieving- the hearywetuht cham pionship for the white race. Though undisputed chamnlon. Wlllard lark the flahtlne; Instinct. He la not Ilk the proverbial puallirt. who would ' rather flaht then eat." Jew admit this. But a tltleholrtrr he desire to elevate himself a the mot popular fighter to hold a championship, and for that reaon alone Wlllard want to fight often, o a to nrtear himself to tlie boKlnn fraternity. It haa been aald by Wlllard many aponaor that the newly crowned king of the heavyweight element will not partic ipate in a ring battle for at least a year. Hut already the caption fight public I hankering to e WUlard In artlon a a champion, and he rmiit accede to public deirand or uffer hi popularity to wane. Once unpopular. Wlllard realise It will be a herculean tak to r-eUbllh himself In the good grace of "vox popull." The boxing public I perfectly willing that Willard anould earn a little easy won.ytor about five or i month. But after that Jes mut fight the moat logical ' contender. Beat t Wlilte F1-era. And It would be well for Jew to hearken to tha eall of the ring after a few month ft paivenea. At preaent thera I no white heavyweight that can copa with Wlllard. The duky heavle are not given consideration, aa the new champion I unswayed In lil reolva not to give a negro a -hane at hi title. Wlllard within a half year ahould take on a any aaptr Ing paleface heavyweight a ar willing to nacrlflce themiielve at the altar of public demand, for he would har t dif ficulty In exterminating tha crop of tnl gulded youth aa faat aa they enm ao Mm. But if Wlllard cjulee 'n tha raqtit cf hi manager and doee not fUfht until a year or mora hence, he may regret It; for then the budding heavyweight will have added experience of a yr and might be able to put op a front that the ruty Wlllard would have trouble In beat ing down. Po K behoove Wlllard to curtail hi theatrical booking about mldaummef and atart training for a alege in defenae of hi roveted title. Wlllard unollelted declaration that ho Will head the heavyweight dlvUlon for five year 1 probably actuated by event at Havana three week ago. when h re lieved Johnon of hi till. And ww her, divulge an interesting fact. Jefcaeaa la Hie Fort. Johnaom waa at leaat 41 year of when he fall befora Wlllard onelaught. Tha former champion mad thla admi alon hlmaelf. and aald It In uch a man tier a to IndlcaU that h wa probably two or thra year older. Johnon' WhtW wife ald ah knew her touaband to t at leant . And Johnaon'a nature make It poaaibi that ha wild with hold anything of an Important chaTaeWr from even hi wife. Tha record book ahowad Jotinaon to be XI year, t day, when ha lot hi championship. Bob ritsrimraona alo !,! peaaod hi thlrty-eeventh birthday flv dny when he relinquished hla lau rel to Jeffrie. Bo If Johnon really 1 beyond tha -year mark. h beat Fit' longevity record for holding tha cham pionship by eevcral year. Wlllard Talrty-Thra. Another Intereatlng aidalliht la that Wlllard la actually II year old, not IT, a claimed for him. Wlllard lM ben trangely mute en tha question ot hi age. Now If Wlllard I really year old, w can readily understand why h doesn't expect to remain In tb gam for more than five year. Even the great Vlti wilted at ar. and Wlllard haa at lrast four year of hard fighting ahead f him to equal .tha freckled beauty' record. The Wlllard syndicate haa made It known that before Jeaa next partake in a ring battle with hi championship at stake, hi pajm will have, to be crossed with STS.flno. aa the guaranteed cum for his service. If they Intend to adhere to this plan It will probably be two years before Wlllard will be called on to defend Ms title. But we believe that when the tse demand for Wlllard' Thespian eervlce peters out, those lo control of Big Jess will comproml-t for a much de creased amount. Meanwhile, Wlllard Is gathering In hi Just reward, more power to him; but he should not overlook tha supporting public when it get ready to ask him to lome active and show hi real worth as a champion. t.lbheaa Awaits McFarUad. Mike Gibbon Is still waiting for J'si key MrFarlbnd to coma out of hfs seclusion and clinch the match the clock yards champion broached several week mo. MUhart haa posted a forfeit of 1500 for wt-icht and apiwarance, but Packey la yet tn be heard from. Olbbona ha agreed to do Wi pounds at t o'clock, which I at present an extremely low poundage for the Ft. Paul Shroud, but Mike wanta to show the public that he doee not fear th-) wlsardry of McTarlsnd. PRETTY SOON IT WILL BE "THIRTY" FOR OLD DUCKY Ducky Holmes, manager of the Butt club last seaeon. haa surely hit the to bcfctan Ducky's services as a manager ".n the mln r was not tn demand and now ho la playing the small towns In th semi-pro and Independent clasa He will manager the Garfield (Vtah) Independent tram the coming season.
