JOHNSON AND
 MORAN ID MEET
AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT HAS SAILED FOR FRANCE TO MEET
 THE TITLE HOLDER.
Jack Johnson Has Entered Upon a Two Months Course of Hard Train ing for the Coming Fight.

New York, May 9.-The sailing of Frank Moran for France marks the passing of the preliminary stage in the arrangements for the heavyweight tltular bout to be fought in Paris on June 27. Jack Johnson as defender of the championship, has already be- sun a regular routine of training and Moran will follow suit as soon as he arrives upon the scene of the coming contest While his plans are but ten ,71a1iyely outlined at present and sub ject to conditions that Moran will have to consider upon his arrival in Paris, Johnson has settled upon two months schedule of conditioning which he declares will fit him for a successful defense of the title won at Reno on July |, 1910.
 Johnson has selected Asnieres, 8 suburb of Paris, as the site of his training camp and began conditioning there early this week. Judging from the reports from Paris, the tiue-hold- CT has entered upon a round of prep aation which indicates his belief that the coming contest with Moran is not to be considered lightly. Despite the fact that he is within twenty pounds of the weight at which he en- tered the ring against Jeffries, he has elected to train fully two months for the meeting with Moran. Apparently Johnson expects a lengthy bout in which there will be recource to much footwork, for he gives as one of the principal reasons for his selection of Asnieres as a training camp the fact that the surrounding roads are ideal for running and long walks. He has intimated that this department of his training will be one to which he will devote much attention.
 The other details are not to be over looked, however, for Johnson has ar ranged to surround himself with a competent staff of trainers, boxers and wrestlers, which will include sey- eral of those who have aided him in preparing for past campaigns. Cal- win Respress has been named as one trainer and it is understood that over cures have been made to q wellllnown American trainer to journey to Paris to assist in the work. Respress who has trained Johnson for several of his bouts in France and other parts O. continental Europe, will select those French pugilists and wrestlers who will be members of the training corps. Johnson will choose such American trainers and boxers as he may decide will be of help to him during the training period
 According to Johnson, who has just closed series of boxing exhibitions at Brussels. his arm, which was frac- tured during bout with Jim John son, is as strong as before the acci- dent. He states that there is no pain when ha blocks an opponents blow, and that he believes the recovery so complete that there is no danger of a handicap in this direction. In oth- CT respects Johnson contends that he will be as physically fit for Moran as he was for Jefferies, making allow snce for the four years which have elapsed since the contest on the sage plains of Nevada.
 Whatever the outcome of the bout it is evident this early that the French are preparing to greet the principals with the usual French enthusiasm. Those in charge of the arrangements are in receipt daily of requests for seat reservations and several of the more desirable sections of the Vele- drome q Hiyer are already sold al
