EWS YORK, Feb. 17.-Tom Jones

he fights Moran than he will to 24O.
Wizards in-the-ring weight for his
fight with Jack Johnson was exactly
247 pounds. The big Kansan, you must
remember. was trained down to bone
and muscle for that fracas. He was
down to a weight as low as he could
go-and still retain his strength. And
Willard reached that reduced condition
only after months Of constant training.
In the face of this, Jones would have
the populace believe that in about a
months time willard can get down to
a lower weight than ne carried in his
johnson fight. When Willard started
actual training for the battle with the
negro, he weighed around go, yet It
took him nearly two months to trim
down to 247.
From what we hear Willard right
now weighs somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 80 pounds. That bulk is
due to the fact that he hasn't done
any hard training since he left Ha-

Second Shot Counts Much In Golf

IAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Feb. H.
A number Of Pacific coast sport

that the coming of Frank Chance as
manager of the Los Angeles team will
speed up the play in the Pacific coast
league and give the patrons Of the
baseball game a much better brand
of the national game. Chance has an
enviable major league record both as
player and as a mana ger, and ii is ar
gued that with his knowledge. the 9TH

Frank Moran is in condition right

for the championship. The blond

pounds above fighting bulk. lie could
rid himself of those in a couple Of
days of strenuous training.
Moran probably will enter the ring
weighing around 205. That will give
willard an advantage of from so to 65
pounds in bulk. as well as nearly six
inches in height and many inches in
reach.
While Moran is up in the wilds OF
New York state. developing his wind
and stamina with outdoor work in the
mountains, Willard has been reducing.
via the gymnasium route. Willard aims
to take off the largest portion Of the
fat indoors. doing road work mostly
for the purpose Of getting back his
wind.
Moran won't do a lot of boxing in
preparation for this bout. He feels
that he doesn't need it because he has
been boxing almost constantly during
the past few months But when he
does take it up. he's going to get for
himself a sparring partner built along
the lines of willard la Woolworth
building.
Moran aims TO try out his body
punches and swings for the jaw on the
giant and after experimenting will de-
eide upon his plan for the Willard bat
tle-whether it will be an unvarying
attack on the body, or a mixture of
tries for the head and body.
Willard is working along the same
lines. His corps OF spaTrers will be
about the size Of Moran. and he will
develop an attack and a defence de-
signed TO halt his small rival.

The unprecedented revival in rifle
shooting which is being reported from

Joyed on the Pacific coast. This re-

the enactment Of a law by congress
last year, authorizing the free issue of
rifles and ammunition to rifle clubs
organized by civilians Under this act,
10 citizens in any locality can organize
themselves into a government rifle club
and adopt bylaws approved by the sec

with the National Rifle association Of

formed during the past year in the

''Beck's" Amen Corner
BY "BECK."

IT all depends on how you look at
it. Benny Leonard and Shamus
0'Brien met in a ten-round no
decision bout at Syracuse, N. Y, last
week The story of one press asso-
citation was that 0'Brien "gave
Leonard a terrible lacing, having the
New Yorker down for the count of
eight twice in the eighth round"
But we pick up another paper and
read that Leonard gave 0'Brien a
lacing and on several occasions had
him in trouble" Now wait for the
Moran-Willard affair. If you're a
Willard fan, you'll find that Willard
wins all the way but if you are pick

REST AND SLEEP
FOR THE BABIES

A baby six months old should spend
at least 16 hours in sleep, and after
that, until the child reaches the school
age, one-half of every "a hours should
be devoted to sleep Young children
have not sufficient judgment to be al
lowed to decide for themselves when
to go to bed and what to eat. If they
did, they would not need mothers to
care for them after they. were able
to walk. But these children do need
mothers who realize their responsible
ity enough. to make an effort to- learn
what is best for their children. 1t
should be considered even more nee
essary for prospective mother to
study how to be mother than it is
for young woman to study to be a
teacher or stenographer. The care of
babies is too important to be left to
tradition and superstition. ~.".E.
When we consider that half the
deaths among babies might have been
prevented if the mothers of these ba-
bies had known how to care for their
little ones properly, we realize the i'm
portance of every young mother spend
ing a little time in learning something
of the science of babyhood. 1t might
be a good plan for every mother. or
prospective mother to spend an aver
age of half an hour day reading or
studying modern methods Of baby well
fare. f..
Even though baby does start to cry
he should not be taken up. The
mother should investigate to see that
he is IN a comfortable position, that
his clothes are dry and no pins dis
turbing him She may give him a
drink of cool water, then She should
gently but firmly give him to under
stand that he will not be taken up.
Babies understand much more than
we realize at times, It. does not take
a baby hong TO understand whether
he can gain his desires by crying. It
takes a very few hours to spoil
baby" so that ne will demand constant
attention World for April.
