MORAN STILL SAYS
AID USED FOUL BLOW

Give Champion Credit for
His Knockout Victory.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-Owen Mo-
ran is not yet satisfied. Despite the
practically unanimous opinion of spec
tators who witnessed his battle with
Ad Wolgast here Tuesday, Moran con-
tinues to insist he was knocked out on
a foul

time. Wolgast was butting me constant
ly and using his elbows. but this was
never noticed. while Welsh continually
insisted / was using my elbows unfairly.

am sure / can lick him. too
Charlie Harvey, Morans manager, was
more temperate, saying: There is no
use squealing. I thought l had a sure
winner. Owen says he was fouled and
knocked out by blow in the groin l
think he had fine chance to win up to
that blow. But there's no use 'holler-
ing as it's all over now. We will try
for another meeting. though"
Freddie Welsh, the veteran lightweight,
Is wild to meet Wolgast now. He de-
clared that Harry Marks of Cardiff,
Wales, had cabled him that he would
cover Wolgast's $4,000 side bet. Welsh
wants a match with the champion Labor
day. Wolgast issued a statement de-
claring he is perfectly willing to meet
Welsh, but wants to rest first. He de-
clines to name a date at this time

After scoring four runs in the first

a big-leaguer the Marines were unable
to win seven-inning battle from the
Cornell fighting tigers. The final score
was IL to in favor Of the leaders.
Edmonston was sent to the mound for
the first time this season by Manager
Cornell to show what he had, and the
big southpaw displayed plenty of speed,
but did not seem to have much stuff on
the ball. as the soldier boys hammered
him when hits meant runs. AT the
close of the third session, with the score
4 to 4. Cornell pulled Sam out and put
in Joe Engle. the college boy. and Joe
proved to them all that he was there
with bells on by holding his opponents
down without a hit or run.
Snyder, left fielder for the Marines, and
the same boy that played with Bridge
port In the New England League the
first part of the season, clouted out the
longest hit that has ever been seen in
the new grounds, the ball going over the
fence in deep center. Two men were on
when this feat was performed.
Cornell played errorless ball. while their
rivals fumbled seven easy ones.
