NEW YORK, May 1.-The sailing Of Frank Moran for France marks the passing of the preliminary stage ln the arrangements for the heavyweight tit- ular bout to be fought in Paris on June 21-Jack Johnson as defender of the championship, has already begun regular routine of training and Moran win follow suit as soon as he arrives upon the scene O fthe coming contest While his plans are but tentatively outlined at present and subject to con ditions that Moran will have to con slider upon has arrived in Paris, John- son has settled upon a two months schedule of conditioning which he de- Clares will 1t him for a successful defense of the title won at Reno on July {. 1910
 Johnson has selected Asnieres, a suburb of Paris, as the site of his training camp and began his condition ing there early this week. Judging from Che reports from Paris the title holder has entered upon a round of preparation 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 Jeffies he has elected to train fully two months for the meeting with Moran. Apparently Johnson expects a lengthy bout in which there will be resource to much fCo.work 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 hos intimated that this department of Ifs training will be one to which he win devote much attention
 The other details are not to be over looked, however, for Johnson has ar ranged to surround himself with a competent stan of trainers, boxers and wrestlers which will include several of those who have aided him in pre- pairing for past campaigners. Calvin Peepress has been named as one trainer and 1t is understood that over lures have been made to well known American trainer to journey to France to assist in the work. Res press who trained Johnson for sev- eral of his bouts in France and other parts of continental Europe. will se feet those French pugilists and wrest- lers 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.
 Accordlng to Johnson who has 'usf clo~ed a series of boxing exhibi- ti0ns at Brussels. his arm, which was fractured during a bout with Jim Johnson, IS as strong as before the accident He states that there is no pain when he blocks an opponents blow and that he believes the recov cry SO complete that there is no danger of a handicap in this dlrec ton Tn other respects Johnson con- tends that he will be as physically at for Moran as he was for Jeffries making allowance for the four years which have elapsed since the con test 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 en thusiasm. Those in charge of the ar ranRements are in receipt of theil requests for seat reservations and several of the more desirable sections of the Veledrome d'Hiver are already sold although the coupons have mol { been received from the printers
