NEW YORK, May 29.-The meth
DDS Jess Willard will employ IN
reaching condition for his battle with
Jack Dempsey will make interesting
reading for the fans.
Willard, according to his own al
mission, was over the draft age
thirty years ago, and tha'
would make him better than thirty
three now. AS matter of TACT, ne
has confessed to more years than
that. Tom Jones often has declared
that Jess was near forty, and only
recently asserted that Jess was over
that mark
Willard seemingly is very conf
dent that he will be able to take the
measure of his challenger, for he be
Iieyes implicitly that he is too big
for any man to whip, regardless Oh
the difference between his own age
and that Of the challenger.
One rule that always has held good
in the pugilistic game is that age
cannot reach condition. Layoffs al
ways tighten muscles and lay on lay
ers of flesh that do not come off I'M
der the routine treatment. relied on
by most boxers to reduce weight. II
grows harder with the years. Nc
boxer ever has succeeded in condi
tioning himself for a hard scrap after
reaching the age of Willard-if we
take Tom Jones word.
The big champion weighed about
245 pounds when he defeated Jack
Johnson, and it is generally under
stood that he was in better condition
at that time than ever before in his
life. Recently he asserted he would
be in as good shape for Dempsey as
for Johnson.
Verify, 1t will be interesting to
watch the methods he uses to bring
about that situation. Willard is now
on his way to his training camp from
the Pacific coast and probably will
begin training at once on arrival in
Toledo He has been going through
preliminary work while preparing a
motion picture in California.

ONLY II ONE ANSWER

1t is not surprising that opposition was at once expressed
to the proposition that there be a six months truce IN ill
trades disputes in order to increase production ana therepy
help relieve the high cost Of everything. 1t is Significant now
ever, that such a proposition was advanced by representatives
OF labor, it being recommended by the Cost Of Living Commit
tee of the New York State Federation of Labor. The president
he was opposed to the truce and that he would discharge the
committee at once.
But while the committee thai made such a recommends
ton may be discharged, the truth of the committees findings
eannot be wiped out. The fact is, everyone who makesa study
pf the cost of living, as this committee doubtless did, comes TO
ahe same conclusion. Prices will fall only when production
comes somewhere near equaling the demand. That can never
happen as long as labor continues to work fewer ana ieWep
hours and, as Is a frequent occurrence now, Stops prouuc1oh
altogether through strikes.
five years, during which time every ingenuity of man is used
to destroy lives and property, and then have things back TO
normal six months after the destruction ceases. Not only has
that which was destroyed got to be restored, but what would
normally have been added to production during those i've
years had conditions been normal must also be made up and
then on top of that, the normal demand Of the present time
must be met.
In fact, the world is so far behind in supplying the neces-
stiles of life that it would take many years, even working at
the old schedule. to make good. But under the new conditions,
with labor getting more pay for less work, it will be a long
time, indeed, before we obtain any relief.
While we never expect to see things return to their old
basis, the fact is that until the world gets on its feet once
more, especially while America is readjusting herself to the
new conditions, the advice of the New York state labor COM
mittee that q truce be declared for six months and that labor
bend every effort during that time to increase production, re-
CARELESS of disputes, is altogether sound. Pity it is that it can
not be put into effect.
