Havana, April 5.---A sencational spurt 'of betting on todays world's championship bout brought a change in- odds on Saturday to {aver Joss Willard The . prevailing = figures wereqsix to five on the Kansas cow- boy's winning Friday night quota tions of 7 to 5, with Johnson an the good end, veerd seuddemly around to even money, In a specially constructed arena, inside the race course at Miramar, Jess Willard, formerly a Kansas cow- hoy, this afternoon will take up the white man's burden.' The young giant--he's well over six feet tall and weighs 243 pounds--will gO against Jack Johnson in a 45-round battle for the heavyweight, cham- pionship of the world. | Not since James J. Jeffries,. once cons quered hy the black title-holdor at Reno, Nev., years ago, has there been such interest in a pugilistic combat as has been evinced in this struggle, A strongly-rooted faith in the minds of a. great many persons that this time the big black has met his nfatch is the chief cause of so much interest On every side one heafs the opinion expressed that Willard best chance of beating Johnson that any of his opponents have had. Johnson isn't the great fighter that he was when he wrested the tit: le from little "Tommy" Burns, nor even when he crushed the shell that once was the mighty James J, Jeff- ries, His gay life--wine parties, joy riding, and the like--has seniped its | effect on him. Shrewd trainers; { men who knew when fighters are in | condition by looking at them, usual- ly shook their heads after watehing Johmson work, as though they he- {lieved there was something wrong. The snap wasn't there. The big [black @dn't glide around with the | speed that he once showed. | --Willard is no match for Johnson on straight alillity. Even the white | man's most ardent admirers admit that. But his youth is being count- { @d on to triumph over Johnson's age. { It is freely admitted that the ac-' tions of the referee will have a great | deal to do fith the outcome of the battle. No matter in how poor shape he is, Johnson, if allowed to stall and hold ag he has in most of his i past fights, may stick+the, 45 rounds {with Willard. The white f#n"s | chance to beat the negro lies in his! I If Johnson, | i} | can keep clinching and hold out in| li} the clinches Willard's ll} dwindle accordingly. Straw Hat Colour r-- 25 CENTS.

Kingston, April 5.--(To the Edi-| tor): 1 differ with F. T. Reuton. about the prospects of next wheat ! €rop when Mr. Reuton sags he ex-| pects "there will be a reduction of 50 per cent. in the production uf | the countries at "war. Take the precedent of the Balkan war when though more of the land was in the immediate war zone, there was 1 "¢- duction of but 20 per cent. in the production of grain. With 2 ery available acre planted to grain in including a 30° per cent. increase in Ame.ica, there is a possibility of very large supplies. The high prices this yuar were not wholly. on account of the war. There was a combination of a partial crpp failure and the tying up of the Russia supplies. James Patten once said that the! scraping of the world's wheat bins! brought out a lot of wheat and the | incentive of high priceg always made a big crop next year. J. J.
