on the tiller Suddenly, with swift
thrill which sent my blood leaping,
felt the soft touch of her fingers.
"Are you afraid to speak to me?"
she asked pleadingly. "Surely have
said nothing to anger YOU"
mo, it is not that" I returned in
confusion, not knowing how to express
the cause of my hesitancy.
81 am sorry-yes." very slowly, but
perhaps not as you suppose. 1t is hard
to think of him as dead-killed SO sud
denly, without opportunity to think or
make any preparation. He-he was
my husband under the law. That was
all. He was no more. l do not believe
l ever loved him. My marriage was
but the adventure of romantic girl,
but If / once did his subsequent abuse
of me, his life of dissipation, oblit-
Grated long since every recollection Of
that love. He is to me scarcely more
than name, an unhappy memory. l
told you that frankly when l believed
him still alive. We were friends then,
you and l, and cannot conceive why
his death should sever our friendship"
Don't" l burst forth impetuously
"You talk of friendship when all my
hope centers about another term.
Surely you understand. l am man
sorely tempted and dare not yield to
temptation"
She drew her hand away from my
clasp, yet the very movement seemed
to express regret.
"And we are to be friends no longer!
Is that your meaning?
"You must answer that question:" l
replied gravely, 'for it is beyond my
| power to decide"
Her head was again uplifted, and
knew she was endeavoring to see my
| face through the gloom.
II am woman" she said, "and we
| like to pretend to misunderstood, but
am not going to yield to that inclina-
ton l do understand and will answer
frankly. We can never be friends as
we were before"
My heart sank, and l felt a choke
in my voice difficult to overcome.
Il was afraid it would be So"

The One Chance Left.

1t is now fairly well evident that I'M
less Giants or Athletics collapse or
fall back upon a most unexpected slump
there is nothing to head either on by
October.
There is an opening ahead for any
club that might come along at brisk,
steady canter, and stick TO 4 fairly
consistent pace. But in neither league
is there any such club in sight-bac<
of the two leaders. They nave shown
themselves able to drift along and then
beat the life out of any contender that
edges up too near. The Giants were
first pressed by Pittsburgh. then by
Cincinnati. They beat both clubs three
straight when the showdown came TO
u head.
In the same way the Mackmen have
crushed all opposition by Washington
and Detroit when these two clubs be-
gan to assume n threatening attitude
or make threatening gestures. IL isn't
the best thing in the world for gem
eral baseball interest to have the same
two clubs swabbing up the field year
after year. Bu. the same two clubs
have no intention of dropping back
through mere poliTeness with that world
series kale repcsinS at the end Of
the journey.

FRANK MORAN EXPECTS
TO DEFEAT CHAMPION
BY GREATER STAMINA
ShorAm Left to the Body viii Turn Trick, According to
White Hope From Pittsburgh-WiI Make Johnson Do
All Leading, Wain for Time to Rush.
By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

PARIS, June 24.-If Frank Moran
of Pittsburgh, is not heavyweight
champion of the world after he
meets Jack johnson here Saturday
night, the aforesaid Frank will be
much surprised. It's true. Moran
thinks he'll win-really thinks so, OF
I'm no judge.
Moran was tapering off in his
training today when 1 went out TO
see him at Butry-Sur-Plage. He
looked fine, strong active, and with
the clear eye and rosy skin of the
well-trained fighter. After looked
him over / really thought myself
that, perhaps, he can bring home
the bacon-about S1,000,000 worth
when he meets the big black. And
he sure thinks so.
Tom Kennedy, of New York;
Willie Lewis, the old-time scrapper
from the East Side, and Jimmy Hat
ton were on the job to give Moran
his workout today. Lewis, quick,
active, a real boxer, had mighty
little on Moran when they spared.
Neither Kennedy nor Hatton showed
anything like the white hopes
strength.
Moran was lightning fast on his feet,
he boxed so well that Lewis rarely
landed a glove or him and he stood UP
to Kennedy and Hatton with stiff short
arm lefts which made them back away
early in the rounds. This short-arm
left to the body, Moran says, Is the
blow which will beat Johnson. He
thinks that Johnson's dissipated life
must have got to his stomach and be-
Ieves that if he sank his big freckled
fst once or twice into Johnson's mid
riff the champion will soon forget all
his cleverness and be easy picking.
There's a lot Of people who think
The Washington times., 1914-06-24

johnson can't be beat" Moran said to
me. well, they thought that of John
L. Sullivan, didn't they? But Corbett
turned the trick. They thought JEFF
fries was a cinch at Reno, didn't they?
And YOU heard of what happened there?
Its the same thing with Johnson now.
No man can follow the primrose path
Che said that-Moran's a college pro-
duct) and be there as a fighter. john
sons had his day. 1 am young, have
use my head in the mill I'll cut him
down.
Another thing. Johnson's the cham
pior. He'll have to lead to me. II he
thinks l am going to carry the fght to
him and let him pick me to pieces with
counters, he's got another guess COM
ing. I'm going to fight MY fight not
HIS fight He may lead me for the
first few rounds hut when the finish
comes I'll he on top"
Moran certainly looks good. He has
clearly trained hard and faithfully and
as good a judge of what fighters
should be as Willie Lewis is enthusiastic
over his condition. Personally, ! would
not care to predict what Moran will do
with johnson. Men who know him well
say he is an in-and-outer. If he has one
johnson he may win, but my impress
sion is that he will need every ounce
of skill, strength and determination he
possesses to trim the big black cham
pion of them all.
Reports were in circulation here to-
day that johnson hal been offered big
money by a gambling syndicate to Tie
down" to Moran and that the champion
had refused. 1t is mighty doubtful IL
any such offer was made. There is
not enough betting on the mill to war
rant the payment OF such a sum as
would tempt Johnson Odds today were
general at 2h to l that the black Will
win, but perhaps less money has never
been wagered on big fight than this
one is calling out.
Some few short end fanciers have
placed money on Moran TO win. They
pin their faith on his ability to keep
away from Johnson's uppercuts f1r ten
or twelve rounds. After that, they De-
lieve, Moran's cleaner living and better
stamina will tell.

his mind as he Is having right now.
Inc FEDS. who have died a number OF
times. according to major league re-
ports. are causing all the trouble.
Hal Chase. one OF the best first base
men who ever played with the White
Sox, has packed his trunk and Is in
a Buffalo Fed uniform. Others of the
Sox who are reported to be ready IN
quit organized baseball are Blackburne,
for whom the Federals were dickerinc
last winter; Scott. Weaver, Benz. md
Russell. the first two of whom were
willing TO jump at the end of their

Up TO date Chase is the only South
Side player who has definitely informed
President Comiskey of his intention to
quit
When other players will follow in
the footsteps of Chase to go into busi-
ness with friends in Philadelphia and
elsewhere. depends largely on how soon
Federal League club owners can dis
play the ready money for which the
players are angling openly. and partly
on when the Federals can agree among
themselves as to the division of the
talent which is available.
The general exodus was expected to
start from the American League when
Lord deserted the White Sox last month
in Washington. but for some reason
the Federal League did not come across
with sufficient temptation. 1t was said
then that all hands were waiting for
more definite action than had at that
time been reached in the civil courts.
Desertions from every major league
team in both circuits can be expected
within the next twenty days. provided
President Gilmore takes the lid of and
the Federal Leagues bank roll holds

to make hay while the haying lasts. ard

Eail for America, early IN July, both the
United States and English tennis au-

of their teams. but at the present time

strength or arrangement Of these teams.
The American Cup defenders will be
called upon to face a heavier attack
this summer than in any Davis Cup

authorities are emphatic in their dec
larations that at best the United
States team will not have better than
an even chance of retaining the
trophy regained at Wimbledon last
summer. It is certain that Champion

that all is speculation. The California
delegation, including Mclaughlin.

requested to come East early in July.
Here they will be Joined by Lindley

the players in various tournaments

draw the English team must meet
Belgium at Folkstone, July 7-S-9, and
