When He Called to Say "Good-
BY" Before Sailing for Europe.

TO-DAY Frank Moran Is sailing
for Europe or the Olympic.
Frank called In 20 say goodby.
"You don't look nervous" we re-
marked. noting his wide smile.
"Nervous!" said Frank. Certainly
not. see no reason why my mental
state should be anything but eauable.
According TO my philosophy. the man

Frank uses such beautiful Ian /
guage!
TT you subject tho matter TO a close
analysis" he continued, you'll see
I'm right. I'm not tho one 10 worry. |
Let Mr.. johnson do that. i am just
coming up toward the top and ] feel
that when the test comes I'll be far
better than ever before johnson has
bean at the top and he knows that his
best time has passed. He'll fear that
when the big test comes.
"A champion worries when no goos
into q fight. because he's had all the
good things. and he's afraid no may
lose them. The time In getting short,
and evorywhere Mr.. johnson goes

tG1 HAVE a great advantage over
johnson. He has been dissipat-
ing for years. He's had only one
nght since Reno-and that wasn't n
real fight. He has loafed and grown
tat and then trained little and ioafed
again. That kills an athlete. I've seen
that demonstrated by Tom Kennedy.
Tom would train hard for a fight, and
u he didn't do well he'd sit down the
uext day and say Never again. Al.
