instruction In organizing camp Off
duty activities to be used in future
mobilization camps.
There is great work to be done, "
said Director Stage, but at present
the boys are working SO hard, both
mentally and physically that they are
doing all they ought to be asked to
do. I have had two conferences with
Col. w. ]. Nicholson, commander at

hurt the show business and received
notice that my contract was to be can
celled. That would leave me out In

"As owner of the show. and not an
employee, couldn't see where Jones
and Curley should be entitled to any
part of the gross receipts. So I dis
charged them"
Willard confided that he weighed in
the neighborhood of 260 pounds. which
is about thirty pounds above his usual
fighting weight, and that with little
training will be able to defend his
honors in a 20 round contest.
ut isn't true that have refused to
box either Carl Morris or Fred Full
ton," Willard's letter continued. why

me to meet either of them. 1t Is. true
that / do not like Morris. but that
