I BIG FELLOWS TO EASE UP TRAINING Willard and Moran Are in Fine Shape For Hard Battle By Associated Press New York, March 21. At both training camps to-day the word was passed by the men In charge of Jess Willard and Frank Moran that the big fellows are so nearly on edge that the remainder of the week should be de voted to lighter exercises. The work will be restricted to that which Is nec essary to keep the men In their present excellent condition. Everyone, Including the State Ath letic Commission's physician, Dr. Jo seph M. Creamer, who has seen tho men In action during the last three days, seems satisfied that both are in prime shape for next Saturday's ten round bout. Both have trained earnestly and their looks certainly bear out the statements of their respective managers, who claim that nothing has been left undone that could be Intro duced Into the dally work of the men In order to bring them as near as possible to perfect trim. No More Road Runs Willard will not take any more hard morning road runs. His program to day called for a two-mile walk at a stiff pace this morning and this after noon he will box six or eight rounds with Hemple, Rodel and Monahan. The latter raised a lump on the right side of Willard's head with a left-hand smash yesterday, but it responded to subsequent treatment and was reduced to very small proportions to-day. After to-day, Manager Tom Jones said, Wil lard would ease up in all of his work, but would box a few rounds every day up to Friday. Moran, after his lay-off yesterday, was up early this morning and made prepai-atlons for his usual four-mile run across country. He intends doing a full turn in the "gym" this after noon and will take on all of his sparring partners for a couple of rounds each. To-morrow he will ease off to lesser work and by Friday he hopes to turn the scales at 205 pounds. He still is of the opinion that he can get. on enough weight to enter the ring at 207 pounds.

Austin, secretary of the Buffalo Club of the International League, Is a big booster for Harris burg. He said, "with one of the finest baseball parks In the country, a good drawing population, enthusias tic fans, and excellent railroad facili ties, 1 cannot understand why Har risburg is overlooked by Class AA backers." Leslie Hall, a Cornell student, for mer Central High basketball and foot ball star, is at his home, 2306 North Sixth street, with a strained ligament. Hall, who is a member of the basket ball squad at. Cornell was injured In a game last Saturday night. Harrisburg as a baseball training camp deserves serious consideration. Teams playing In the South must move up this way and become acclimated before starting regular work. This city offers railroad advantages for Major League teams. With favorable weather big crowds would watch the games. Connie Mack does not intend to lose any time getting his regulars into condition.

It. was Ertle's bout, and the margin of advantage was a mighty big one, although it took the Westerner three rounds to wise up lo the fact that he had little to fear from McGovern's punches. Twice it looked as though McGovern were going to take a visit to the Land of Nod. The first time McGovern was on the verge of a knockout was in the fourth round, when early in the round Ertle rushed the little Port Richmond boxer to the ropes.
