Both pugilists are planning to ar
rive at the training camps early next
month in order that they may become
accustomed TO the rarefied atmosphere.
Both FL Paso and Juarez have an alti-
tude of close to 1000 feet and training
conditions are vastly different from
those prevailing at lower levels.
This was brought out sharply in the
JOhnson-,I etferies contest in 1910. After
spending some weeks in conditioning at
close to sea level near San Francisco,
the camps were shifted to Reno, when
the governor ordered rhe pugilists out
of California. The change to the Neva-
ia town at an altitude of approximately
$500 feet set back the training for
fully week while principals and help
ers were adapting themselves to the
lighter air.
Under the present schedule the box
ers will have from four to five weeks
IN which to prepare for the contest,
which Is none too long under the cir
eumstanees. Willard is expected to start
his serious work at FL Paso on or about
February /, and Johnson is due to ar

BY that date the arrangements for stag
ing the battle will have been fully com

YANKS BIG RENTAL
100000 Will Be Demanded by Giants
For Use of Polo Grounds

New York, Jan. 23.-The Yankees
will pay nearly $4,000 for the use of
the Polo Grounds this year. The rent
in 1914 was $500, and it is under
stood that these figures have been in
creased. In view of the fact that the
Yankees have no grounds of their own,
the Giants have been able to dictate
terms. Because of the high rental of the
Polo Grounds, the new owners of the
local Americans are more than anxious
to build new park for the season of
1915.
William n. Fleischmann, personal
representative of Colonel Jacob Rup-
pert, Jr, president of the Yankees, an
nounced yesterday that plans for build
ing new baseball plant will soon be
ready for the club S inspection. Fleisch-
mann refused to indicate the location
of the new park, but he said that Sc
lection of the site would be made in the
near future. 1t is the club's desire to
have the new grounds ready as soon
as possible so that business relations
with the Giants may be severed for ali
time.
