TRAINING At ONCE
Secretary and Adviser Of Cham
piOn in New York After Trainers

New York, March 19.-Evidenca
that Jess Willard realizes the need of
earnest preparation for his encounter
with Jack Dempsey on July was
furnished by the arrival here yester-
day of A. Archer, secretary and adj
wiser to the champion. Archer ex-
planned that he came here to engage
a corps of competent trainers to take
charge of the task of fitting Willard
FOR the hardest battle of his pugilistic
career.
Archer said that Wizards dieting
and light training already have
brought the champion down to 26S
pounds, and that the big fellow al
ready is in better shape now than
he was when he star ted to prepare
for Frank Moran. Jess has rugged
up gymnasium at his Lawrence
ranch and will train there until it
comes time to go to the fight loca-
ton, thirty days prior to the bout,
as is called for in the agreement.
"Willard means business this time"
said Archer. Make no mistake about
that! The big fellow has taken the
many knocks he has received to heart
and intends showing up some of the
critics. lie has been advised by some
of the best experts in the country on
the system of training to follow, and
he is following the schedule faith
fully. The dieting and light work
he has been taking gradually will be
increased to sterner methods. The
real training grind will start at Law
renee in about fortnight"
Willard desires as his helpers
number of young, active chaps, who
box we'll and can stand rough work
Archer, who is staying at the Bit
more, Will be glad to hear from can
didates for the training camp of the
champion.
Jack Kearns yesterday had brief
interview with Tex Rickard, but
there are no new developments in
the match. Dempsey is at Long
Branch recuperating from q, severe
vaudeville ordeal. Jack left for Palm
Beach, Fla, for q weeks vacation

STABILIZE PRICES
Other Industries Are Watching Steer
Trade Closely and Will Prob
ably Follow Its Course.

Washington, March 19.-Represen-
tatives of the steel industry met to-
day with the newly appointed indus
trial, or price Sterilization board, of
the department of commerce to agree
on plans for reduction and stabilN
cation Of steel prices. The conference
was the first of a series to be held Ivy
the industrial board with representa-
tives of the basic industries.
Department of commerce officials
explained that the opening conference
was held with the steel men because
it was realized that other industries
were watching the steel trade in the
readjustment of peace time condi-
tons.
Members of the industrial board
said the method used to bring about a.
reduction in prices of the basic COM
modities would be to- have the indus
tries propose price schedules lower
than those now existing. The board
would approve these lower prices as
fair. Government purchases wouM
be made at the approved rates and
private buyers would be expected to
follow the governments lead

Monroe Released by YankS.

The Yankees yesterday cut their
strings to Pitcher Ed Monroe, a tall
youngster whom Bill Donovan re-
garded as quite a prospect. Monroe
was released to the st. Paul club of
the American association.
Monroe came to the Yankees in
the spring of 1917 from the Memphis
club, and Donovan kept him through
out that season. Higgins retained
the player last spring, but he soon
quit the club to play with the Beth
lehem Steel team at Sparrows Point
Md.

TO remain there for any length of
time, as Ed soon was drafted into
the Army. He was a sergeant at
Camp Zachary Taylor when the arni-
stice was signed. Monroe recently
was discharged from the Army
