TO
TRAIN ALL WEEK
Willard Reduces Weight; Mo-
ran Has Busy Sunday;
Reads Books

New York. March 2O.-Jess Will
lard, perfectly satisfied with his condi-
tion, said he was physically fit to
enter the ring at any moment to de-
fend his title of worlds heavyweight
champion. He did not take any
day except what Tom Jones, his man.
ager, called IAN energetic walk of
three and a half miles. The big Kan
san then rested quietly at his uptown
quarters near Central Park.
For the last three or four days Will
lard has been speeding up gradually
in his boxing bouts with his partners
and for the next five days he intends
to take on each of his sparring aids
for at least three rounds. He has
taken off much useless weight by his
active gymnasium work. and yester-
day tipped the scales at 251 pounds.
He expects to enter the ring weigh
ing about PAS pounds.
Moran Keeps Busy
Moran put in one of the busiest
sessions of his training at his camp.
Newsboys from the neighborhood of
Times Square, who are great friends
of the challenger, paid him a visit
this afternoon at Dal Hawkins place
in Westchester. The challenger of
Jess Willard went through four rounds
of the fastest boxing he has gone
through yet for the benefit of the $50
youngsters who were eager TO see their
idol in action. The boys brought
along several presents and good-luck
tokens and had a great holiday of it.
Frank Kendall and "Bilr McKin-
ron worked with the Pittsburgh man
for two rounds each, and he punched
the bag, skipped the rope and did a
little work on the road. He weighed
201 pounds and looked in top-top
form. Moran spent the evening read
ing from n collection of books which
he had received from his friends as
birthday gifts. He will taper off his
work gradually during the week. All
his hard road work is behind him
and he will spend most of his time
now in speeding up his boxing.
After a rundown. Moran told the
boys of his confidence of being able to
defeat Willard next Saturday.

competitors in both field goal and foul

than any other team has made in the
league. The Blue and Gray lads in
the Central Penn contests have scored

ponents have made but $50. In de-
fensive work Reading will likely re-

to add to his laurels, in the game with

Sidney was a lawyer, but had grad

had been induced to allow his name

suit was that he was elected prose-
cutting attorney.
At the end of two years the spoils-
men of the party put up strong
local fight. The city needed the right
man in the right place. Sidney was
elected mayor by a f1attering major
ity. PaTtin was ousted from a posi- |
ton as assessor, but on the county
ticket was made a justice of peace.
This was quite a come-down for |
that free-and-easy spendthrift, but
he managed to maintain an automo-
bile and wear good clothes, boasting
of a rich uncle in another state and a !
prospective heirship. He had pleas !

family rather favored him in prefer

heard of some wild doings of his in
the city, and, leaving all personal |

him the husband of a bright, limo !

Has No Friends and Deserves
None

The poor sugar trusts does not
seem to have any friends. If there
is one thing which the sugar trust
has fought and is still fighting
tooth and nail it is a duty of any
kind on sugar. In the bad old days
it contributed oodles of money to
the Democratic compaign funds
in.the forlorn hope of getting
sugar on the free list. Now that
at last its fondest hopes seemed
to have been realized it is cruel
that a brother Democrat should
accuse it of being a beneficiary of
their blasting Congressman keat-
ing, of Colorado. however, was in
error. The government will get
the entire duty on sugar, and will
not devide with anybody.
The sugar trust fights all duties
on sugar solely from an unhoIy
desire to put an end to the beet
sugar industry once for all. If
beet sugar continues to be en-
couraged as it has been under
Republican administration t h
sugar trusts magnates well know
that internal competition will
within few years make their
own business extremely paecar-
ious. San Francisco Chronicle.

Will Bring Sugar Boom in
Colorado

The action of the house of rep
resentatives in keeping the one
cent tax on sugar has caused eX-
treme qualification on the part of
beet sugar men in Colorado. If
the measure goes throu the SEN
ate. as appears likely. there is
little doubt that the state will en-
perience a beet sugar boom. More
land probably will be used for
growing beets, and there will be
a marked increase in the business
of refineries, with the probility
that many new refneries will be
started.
Colorado vii! be one of the
principal beneticiaries of the
action of congress. The state
stands in the front rank of sugar
producing states.
1t has been estimated that nine
tsnths of the farmers in certain
sections of the state were in diff
cuIties when it was discovered
that conditions for sugar beets
were excellent on their land. The
production of sugar beets saved
many from bankruptcy,
The retention of the tax saves
the sugar men of the United
States from competing with the
products of coolie labor, which
produces practically all of the
sugar that would come into this
country if the tariff bars were re-
moved. Denver Express.
