Paris. June 27.-French sportsmen
and thousands of Americans and other
foreign followers of boxing were gath
cred in Paris today awaiting the fight
tonight for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world.
Frank Moran Of Pittsburg and Jack
Johnson. holder of the title since he
defeated Jeffries on July 4, 1910. at
Reno. will meet in the ring at the
- 'r'~>'-~r-~ d'Hiver 1T 1890
o'clock tonight to fight for 20 rounds
&C., .-LIsserry rules.
On every hand the question was dis
cussed whether the white challenger
was capable of wrestling the title from
the negro holder. Each of the COM
batants expressed strong confidence Ct
victory, but the betting odds on the
event were three to one in favor of
johnson.
johnson said today:
II was never more sure in my life
than l am today. 1t Is now a question
of true craftsmanship. If Moran
wins tonight he will win by strength,
wins 1 shall he the first to congratu-
late him from the bottom of my
heart"
johnson has made plans for a tour
of Europe in an automobile after the
fight. The journey will include visits
10 lOnQOn anu 10 MOSCOW anu he says
he will later return to the United
States.
Moran said: 1T will be a tough
fight while it lasts, but I do not think
1t will last twenty rounds. l am n
the best condition of my career and
naturally do not expect to be the
loser"
The Pit.sburg fighter added that
whether he won or lost he expected to
be battered. He said he intended to
return to his training quarters for a
quiet rest after the fight. Should he
Rome. Much interest is displayed in
Moran's style in the ring, which is not
so we'll known as that of johnson. The
white fighter said his plan would be a
cautious effort to win and he did not
expect to effect a knock out by a
chance swing.
He declared he believed the longer
he could draw out the fight the better
his chances would be for getting in
decisive blows. Moran asserted that
he felt the responsibility rested on him
of representing the white race. His
four sisters in Pittsburg today sent
him an encouraging message while an
uncle. who is dying in Ireland. wrote
him farewell letter in which he said
he had prayed for his victory.
Few Fight Bets..
Chicago, June 27.-Few bets in
sums large or small were placed here
today on the Johnson-Moran fight. In
the principal negro residence section
on the south side. in which johnson
formerly lived and in which he mair-
tanned home for his mother ever
since money came easy to him, specu-
lation was chiefly confined to John
sons condition.
