of Grand Rapids. and owen Moran.
the English lightweight, await the call
TO the ring tomorrow afternoon. Large
crowds visited the camps of the rival
fighters today and came away with
the opinion that both are in good phys
ical trim for the bout.
Judging from the betting flavor
around san Francisco. Wolgast will be
the favorite by very narrow margin
when he enters the ring. Nearly all
the sporting writer's concede the Grand
Rapids fighter the victory. but they are
also ready to admit that the little
Britisher has a chance.
Moran Very Confident.
Moran is bubbling over with conf
dence. and his friends are backing him
literally at the prevailing odds. He
has been training faithfully ever since
the articles were signed first at Lake
Tahoe and later at San Rafael, and
If he loses the fight tomorrow he will
not be able to make the old excuse of
poor condition.
Like his sturdy little opponent Mo-
ran is a slashing inhghter, carrying
a stiff wallop i'm. either hand. As to
hitting there is little TO choose between
them, for boys who have met both OF
them say Moran is the harder hitter of
the two, although they admit Wolgast
has the most dangerous swing. Moran
depends more upon straight punches
and he has a short uppercut that Is
likely to prove dangerous to his op-
ponent Like the Michigan man. the
Britisher is I'm his element when at
close range. hammering both fists
against some unprotected portion of

1870 pounds each In the matter OF
ring experience IT is customary to as
sign the advantage to Wolgast. but
this is only because of the fact that
Moran is a comparative newcomer on
this side of the water. Wolgast has
been fighting only about FIVE years.
while Moran's record dates back con
siderably earlier Before coming to
America the Britisher had been fighting
for some years on the other side. and
