Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 13, 1915, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba bbb press we Tope. Saturday february 13 1915 gig championship boxing Battle at hand for in three weeks event will be history despite All criticism big smoke Willard Battle at Juarez is biggest sports event Calendar at Cowboy asset for heart will prove acid test. By Otto Floto Only three More sundays intervene d bout Willfo. Passed into history. This cont undoubtedly the most significant that the sporting Calendar boasts t the present time is. Therefore Tho worthy to come under discussion. 5. Struggle individual supremacy the heavyweight ranks the world fasten fit to again pitch its Battle Nim the american continent. Its is relevant to pugilist in Gen ii because conditions that have its red into the controversy foreign other conflicts for the Emblem. Not Sun cum Niv Gem Are tre principals different in this hybrid clash but one a. Fugitive _ from Justice and swings one single slender is i years ago today. John u Sullivan then he game when we have thoroughly known As the Boston Strong won convinced ourselves that he possesses the heavyweight title from Jaddy Ryan a this ingredient we have solved the1 win Ner. It s a Broad assertion to make but so absolutely certain Are we that Wil lard holds All the other necessary qualifications to Triumph in the coming clash that once we convince ourselves As to his courage nothing can shake our Faith in proclaiming him the Victor. We want to accentuate Long and loud this momentous and vital question for so much depends it when the White race is considered. We have no right to claim that Willard lacks valor in fact his previous engagements show beyond a doubt that he was Able to with stand the hardest Wallops opponents that time and again he the envoy the Cusp the Chin without the bout. Just at this time i might say we i passing through the stage pre in Leary protest this is the period sen the sentimentalist furnishes a ii Salon brutality the prize ring a when the reformer alarmist and is Tody seek publicity in the columns i the Dally press events this sort fall to retain their equilibrium Jess these toy products were inter with the main Issue at stake to we accept them As part and parcel it the whole. And in our mind we saw a Oer Scature the fellow to shorn it is applicable to refer to the individual who trembled even before the trumpet brutality and condition Are foreign to other. To would be absurd the part those who swear allegiance to the cause to deny that the strenuous creeps into an affray this sort. We admit that Wood May be extracted by a poke she nose we concede there will be knockdowns and Grant that even a knockout placing one the principals hours do combat May take place. But even in making these concessions we Sull assert that brutality is foreign in ninety nine times out a Hundred lira Lar contests. To have Toun Iless bouts and never yet seen an Accident the men engaged were Jar factly trained and conditioned for fcb work in which they were about to Epise. Brutality Only occurs in its tit Remc and full meaning the unpreparedness stalks into the roped enclosure with inexperience Uzi Ness and indifference. The fighter Boxer who has made provision re Jording his condition is Ever and Al no Sable to withstand the shocks and ing to him when the Black Man takes the ammunition from the Caisson leads his 42-centimeter Krupp and trains it the Man from Kansas. The teat is not going to be supplied when the Battle wages furiously but just before the Gong sounds and Willard is reposing in his Nook with the Black surveying him from head to foot. It s then the psychological moment is materializing. One glance carrying disdain from Johnson May prove the Pivot undoing to Willard if he is susceptible to impressions that sort. If however the Kansan pays no heed to Johnson s looks and remarks his chances increase immediately. Courage essential in fighting Arena. And after All is said and done a Man May have at his command All the science the game boasts All the weight Neces sary to Check his opponent s onslaughts and rushes and the hitting Power the All these Avail let to if the old heart Oak is lacking. The qualification enduring extreme pain unmoved which we found embodied to a degree in battling Nelson and Wolgast and Stanley Ketchel is Worth More than All the science and hitting in rounds London prize run 4. W , i Izig j. His at Mississippi City now known As Gulf port la. I was in my teens then but How vividly it All recalls itself to me How in Iny the events again transpire johrt.l., a Young that invisible screen. Ster with a continual scowl Oil his face his Eye brows knitted his Bullet head shaved close and his voice As if the echoes the Depths were rolling Forth their thunders. How he bellowed his commands to Billy Madden Pete Mcgoll Mike Farrel and Frank Moran who were his main attendants. He could almost scare you to death when he hollered at you. On the other hand Ryan was the anti thesis his opponent. Quiet and soft in his Way addressing folks a dude in his dress at All times and his sole companion seemed to be old Tom Kelly St. Louis who acted As his chief Trainer and adviser. Billy Harding who represented Richard k. Fox joined the Ryan Camp later . For it must be remembered that Jos. Was furnishing the backing for Ryan while Jim Keenan Boston did the same favor for Sullivan. Sullivan beat Ryan with ring Entrance. It is not detrimental to poor Paddy to say that he was a Defeated Man before Ever a blow was struck and we Are going to be charitable enough not to assert that cowardice took hold but certain As you Are Reading this Little reference to the occasion so sure was Paddy in an other world when John l. Threw that big Broad brimmed hat into the Arena and jumped Over the top rope the ring with no apparent Effort instead crawling through the ropes and entering in the regulation fashion. All this transpired thirty three years senior bowlers Roll hug hid Low cubs put three Fine scores and Dawkins goes Over 90th lose to cellar mates. Skip Johnson Kenora. Is. A very Active person the head. Recall rightly february 7th in that year fell a tuesday be cause the sunday previous both Sulli Van and Ryan attended Church and a Day intervened Between that memorable visit to the priest both praying that sue Power that the Coward Ever possessed. Come to their cause much As and yet there Are recorded occasions tha false invokes the deity at the pre piled w 1uviwiu.v7u, when great fear was skilfully covered by a show daring and recalls to a a saying the late Pat Sheedy s regarding a former Champion. When Sheedy was asked what he thought him. He re in face he s a lion in heart a and the Champion so referred to was beaten a few hours later just be cause his opponent possessed courage de termination and persistence. Willard has the advantage in height. In hitting Power in weight and in reach Amie to wins Tana the shocks and four very important items to own in an that May be allotted As his share i instance this sort. Johnson has the . _. Advantage in experience and boxing Abl while the contest wages physical pc Section we might Aali it. Is the Pivot a which hinges the verdict whether i not a contest May be termed brutal to net. However we Are not at this time Ping to enter into the deaths a Dos As to the elements brutality that will accompany the bout. We Pant to those who argue contrary to in views and notions the prerogative their right to do so. It is difference opinion that stimulates affairs kind and after All we would t fire the snap our fingers for the too timid to express his views a s simply a nonentity and not worthy notice. In our Humble opinion we ire going to attempt to Analyse Jess Ward s chances against the formed ble Black Man who has for the past re years ruled Tho heavyweight Roost hinges y the a greatest asset in favor the further we delve into the problem to snort we become convinced that Wil Ard s Opportunity to Annex the title Willard is youth and youth must be served All other things being equal. In making comment in this instance it is not a Case much ado about nothing our part for we care not who wins and while our sympathies lean toward the White Man we want the Black Man to have All credit due him and receive the lust deserts his work warrants and him to have showered him. Willard very much resembles the Chap in the boat he d better sit still and not Rock it disaster May follow his plunge. His chances Are looking better every Dav that Means nothing for after ail the real Issue will be fought in the ring at Juarez. Anniv set Tajian s title Victory. Today chances to be another one those dates which an anniversary that Marks the mile posts an import ant event in fast Lana. One the old timers Long to have reminded to them and the present generation wishes to have its attention called to. Thirty three Sant time. You May not believe it but Are a supers Tillous lot at Best. To give an idea How the grim reaper makes use his scythe in mowing us Down As the years Span each other we need but mention that if i am correctly informed Only Sullivan Billy Madden and Kichard k. Fox Aie alive All those who acted As stakeholders referee Trainer second principal that Battle 33 years ago today. Ryan won from Joe Goss and lost to Sullivan who lost to Corbett from Wixom Litz won the title Only to have it taken by Jeffries who forfeited it to Tommy Burns who lost it to Johnson the latter still further enriching his claims when he Defeated Jeffries at Reao for his former tie. And in a few weeks Jess Willard will throw himself into Tho breach in an Effort to add his name to the list champions. Play was continued striving to Acore a decisive end. Hudson., placed his first Rock Well to the left tha second Circle and Sutherland trying a running shot chipped it a Little fur tier out but left it shot. Hudson now played a Rock to a similar position the other Side the House and so the play progressed both men trying to draw inside the other rocks. Hudson s third Man placed a Rock sheltered both sides the tee and with his second Stone made a perfect guard. Sutherland however was not to be left out the count and with his first Rock removed this and As Hudson had thrown his first Rock away the game was called Sutherland winning by 10 to 9. Shaw Thistle figured in the Small end the score 14 to 10 yesterday morning at the Strathcona As Pepper Deloraine had too much Pep for him. The other games were not. Close. Quality sportsmanship. Skip Neil the Thistle showed himself to be a sportsman the Blue blood Type in his game against Smith Wynyard in the Dini Wall draw Friday. One Smith s sweepers slipped and his Broom touched tha third Man s Stone diverting its course. Neil let the Man play the shot Over again.

One example How far reaching the Volunteer movement has been in Winnipeg is shown strongly in cricketing circles which have this year been sadly depleted by the departure players to the front. The wanderers club the Premier club in the West and for two years the Winner the Ross Robertson cup emblematic the championship the Dominion has lost eight members its first i which was composed the Best players in the City. Only three remain the rest having All gone to the front. The exodus cricketers will mean that the Cricket season this year will be very slim though the Winnipeg Cricket association and the Selkirk county Cricket association will not permit the game to sleep when the summer gets round. Both associations have been badly hit by the War and both have supplied Many for the front but even with the general exodus there will be enough left to make up a season arid keep the game going until the Warrior cricketers return Home to resume the sport.
