He realized that bis ebances would be better if he fought a great many other men before he met Johneon. In every fight he studied ways to defend himself and ways to @et bis punches through. He didn't fight simply to win that particular Ddout. It was lucky that he wasn't eastly discouraged, too. May 20, 1913, Jesa Jost a twenty-round decision to Gunboat Smith in San Franotaco, It was &@ general opinion around the ring that night that Jess won. Down in Havana, just before Willard fought Johnson, I talked the Gunboat Smith fight over with referee Jack Welsh. “If I'd been referee I'd have given the decision to Willard,” sald Welsh. “In my opinion he won all the way.” dess Too Docile in Bout With Gunboat Smith. The Smith fight was a fairly bard one, Gunboat landed his famous haymaker on Willard’s jaw several times and, according to the testimony of Al McAllister and other noted ring sharps, he didn't even tilt the Kansas giant's bead back. Gunboat was always willing and always rushing in, besides which he had the natural sympathy that Is always extended to a amall man fighting a big one. Willard shook Gunboat badly now and then, Dut never followed him up. Perhaps he felt a little bit embarrassed him- self over his great size and the apparent unevenness of the match. Willard always was inclined to be too amiab® in the ring. He used to tell me that he had the greatest disinclination to burt any one—but that he'd surely forget that if he ever met Johnson, “1 know my faults,” sald Jess, “I know I'm too easy-going. If 1 see a man being beaten I have to let up on im. I know {t isn't the way to fight, and some time I'll get over ft. But gm never going to hurt any one if I can help tt." After the Smith fight 8 felt naturally grieved and peeved that any @ne should slip him such a decision. For a long time be tried to get Smith again, but entirely without success, Mr, Buckley, Smith's manager, is a shrewd fellow, and he was quite satisfied to have “WON” after Gunboat's mame in the records of the Willard fight. There was no sense in taking foolish chances again. Willard’s next exploit after the Smith fight didn’t net him much repu- tation. He fought a draw with Charlle Miller, a beefy car conductor who turned fighter for a while out in Frisco a couple of years ago. Willard's Geliberate style was against him fn a short fight, and Miller fatled to “sting” him out of his good humor, Jess went over to Reno and beat Al ‘Williams, another Western heavyweight, in ‘ht rounds. After that he returned to California, and on Aug. 1913, fought at Vernon, near Los Angeles. Result of Young Fight Unnerved Champion. Aug. 22 is a date Jess Willard will never forget, It was the date of that unfortunate thing in his ring career to which Jess always refers as “the accident.” Jeas was matchedewith “Bull” Young, This "Bull" Young wan the sama P John Young he had twice knocked out early in his care back In Ch Few people, if any, k ut that, however, At the time h with Willard, “Bull” Young was regarded as a fellow who couldn't be hurt by @ punch, He was thought to b an tron man, He was powerfully built, with a great torso and a short, thick neck and a round block of a head that seemed impervious to all punishment, He had worked In the training camps of all the best visiting heavyweights and had fought a few bouts ARO. was matched 1 ee « ty DI fighter, hare been enas imself with fair success hearer a solution of the problem. |yett fe hie home ta Man Francie it i linely | OTUReS: the Caltfornia ; ease Thy Willard-Young fight wont along slowly and clumatly, Young’n| Davy Robertaon essayed the Job yor: linet he will anaounce his retirement from the |Win A, C, on Batantay mage Pe Lap sana , y ‘ terday.
