| again." The world is looking on the
fight with it's eyes wide open. and
world will say afterward, if things go
wrong. that it knew it all the time.
1t will also say that anybody should
know that a man who had lived as
fast as Johnson for four years
couldn't whip a man who had been
living only for the future
g
The fight comes right down to a
case of class and possible condition
against condition and a lack of class.
johnson in the one, Moran in the
other. If the fight is a hard one it
is doubtful if Johnson will be able to
stand it, but if Moran hasn't the
class how is he going to make it in
teresting for Johnson? Moran, you
can say without fear of contradic-
tion is a powerful hitter. His right
hand punch is known as a peach"
lie uses pretty good judgment in the
ring, but he is not clever. He is
foxy, but he isn't strong. He has
skin as soft as a woman's and he
tires badly under pressure. He is
big enough TO whip anybody that he
can hit johnson is clever. He is a
wonderful fellow at infighting and
ne is a marvel at keeping his opp1-
nent at arms length. He knows how
TO fight and when to fight, and if he
home the bacon. But If he isn't,
Moran, as poor an apology as he is,
may become the champion.

Cesar AIoretti, the italian cham
pion, will make his first appearance
at the Velodrome tomorrow after
noon, and his countrymen are sure
to be out in large numbers TO bid him
welcome. Moretti is to meet Joe
Fogler in a match race, and the
Italian should win it, even taking
into consideration the fact that he
only arrived in this country today,
and will not have time for more than
one real good workout Moretti comes
well recommended He is said to be
a better man than Verri, who did
very well here.

If Moretti defeats Fogler impress
sively his next match will be with
Champion Frank Kramer the follow
! ing Sunday. Manager MacFarland
says that Moretti is a "big Lacquer
and that he is going to put him up
| against big league" talent. So Mr..
Moretti will be given an opportunity
in a hurry to see what he can do
against the greatest rider in the
world. After the Kramer match, the
/ italian will be pitted against Walter
Rutt.
The half mile championship on the
card tomorrow is creating a lot OF
interest Kramer, Rutt, Clark and
Goullet are likely to get in the final
unless the draw for the semi-fnals
puts three or even four of these stars
in one heat. In that event, liver Law
son. Fogler or Spears may get in the
final There are several ways you
can figure it, and the, finish of the
race may result in an upset.

The Velodrome card tomorrow is
about the best of the season. There
are twenty-five events, including 6
match race and two championships
an amateur and professional There
is sure to be a desire to see Moretti
whose performances on the other sid'
of the ocean have been very fiattering

| The beer selling episode at the Nelo
drome isn't over by any means, / un'
derstand, and there should be thor
ough investigation of the affair. There
is some nasty talk going the rounds
about certain people getting ever
with the Velodrome management be
cause free passes had been stopped.
The stories implicate local sport
ing writer. Anyway, Charles V. Duff
fy. the new internal revenue collector
should do some investigating. If thu
Velodrome management is to blam
they should be punished. The charg
of 50. 90 for the one-month government
license shouldn't suffice at all. Blu
