Great CROWD Expected
At MORAN JOHNSON FIGHT

PARIS. March 26-It is now a GER
tainty that the heavyweight cham
pionship" fight. between Frank Mo-
ran, the Pittsburgh White Hope and
Jack Johnson. will be pulled of here
on Sunday, the day OF the Grand
Prix. at Longchamps, in June.
Dan McKetrick, foxy manager of
Moran. has everything to gain by
picking this, or a similar day, for the
match. Johnson Is guaranteed $685.
600 win, lose or draw, 100000 to be
paid his white wife on the day of the
fight and $4,000 in 81 900 installments
for FIVE weeks prior to the fight Roth
and Maitrot, under whose direction
the fight Is TO be held, also have a
guarantee of $4,000 with a prospective
share in the gate receipts. Moran will
get a like settlement, therefore the
box Office will have to take in at
least $4,000 before Danny comes in
for a nickel. over that amount he,
Moran and the fight managers will
share, but fights i'm Paris so far have
never yielded anything like this sum.
"Mcketrick figures this will be the
biggest fight France has ever seen,
consequently bigger admission will be
charged. The battle probably will
take place at the Pare des Princes, a
big athletic field, bicycle track and
favorite duelling ground or some
other large place in order to keep all
the money which may be offered at
the gate. However, Moran is an un-
| known here and Johnson Is about as
popular as the measles; so somebody
stands to lose unless the interna-
uonal sporting men heer. 10 see the
Grand Prix decide to go in strong for
la boxe.

NEW YORK March 26.-All the time
they were talking about money! Not
having as close an acquaintance with
the director of the mint as some of those
who are exuding huge gobbs of senti-
ment in the sport field, it is impossible
60 say here Just how much money there
is in the world. But most OF it is surely
being used for other things than back
ing "soulless corporations or conduct
ing wars in Mexico.
With the United States Treasury put
TO shame by the Federal League i'm their
claims to wealth the fight game has
kicked in with n slight glitter to match
the baseball Midas flash. Within a
span OF two months, or by Maytimc,
Willie Ritchie will have hooked in s26,-
coo. This amount will represent Just
two fights The lightweight champion
received a paltry $4,000 for going ten
rounds with Ad Wolgast in Milwaukee,
recently. He has now accepted terms for
another ten-round tango with Jimmy
Duffy, Lockport lightweight. and is to
receive a guarantee of $4,000 for that
engagement. From where we sit il is
possible TO add SIG and so, knowing
that it makes SIG; therefore, $4,000
and $4,000 must make S26000
As lust little side issue to the
money being circulated through sports
Ad Wolgast received $4,000 for being
licked by Ritchie at Milwaukee.
The Federals are still talking money

cents has progressed in the race for a
place where base hits and fielding once
roamed around, we may expect some
thing new in the run of baseball writing
this season. For instance the stories OF
a game might read;
"rhe batteries Of today's game were
valued at $4,000, the two pitchers
drawing S25OOO each and the catchers
.Sl2,jO0. Grabber. $4,000 second base
man, accepted ten chances without an
error, but Manager Gointsky expressed
his $4,000 opinion that he might have
taken care of lot more and still not
have injured his glove which is insured
for $1,000. The game was broken up in
the tenth inning after Sl5 worth OF
balls had been used and the umpire es-
timated that the damage TO his voice
in arguing with players was at least
30 cents. With two $4,000 men on
base and the 100000 infeld of the
league leaders playing in close, Whoisit,
recently from the bushes and receiving
only 81 900 a year, surprised everyone
by pushing a double out of reach OF a
$4,000 right fielder, thereby scoring
$4,000 worth of runners and ending the
game. The receipts were, etc, but you

The movie" industry is mixing in
the general run of affairs to such an
extent that where you find newspaper
men, you may also look around for a
movie" camera operator and the ar
rival of the world-touring Giants and
White sox here was busy day for
both. There we're a dozen moving
picturing cameras grinding away in
one place or other as the Lusitania
came up the bay and docked and the
movie" men produced a little story
all their own. Coming somewhat late
| but still an untold tale, here it is.
One OF the moving picture compa-
nies had a special boat to carry its
camera men down the bay to Quaran-
tine to meet the Lusitania and the
tourists. Arrangements had been
made for them to board the liner and
with the company flag flying proudly
from the special boat the movie"
men prepared 10 sail forth. A rival
| picture concern sent its camera man
down 10 the pier with instruction to
get on "a boat" and meet the Lusi-
tania. He was unable TO get on the
revenue cutter and had about given
up hope of ever getting to Quaran-
tine when he had a happy thought.
There was the rival companys boat
at anchor. why not test their hospi-
tality? He did. He explained 10 his
rivals that he had not been able to
get aboard the revenue cutter.
Il wonder If you fellows would
mind letting me on your boat, :, he be-
gan. 81 won't bother you after we
reach Quarantine. and my added
weight certainly won't sink your
ship
"Of course; come right aboard" +"
was the reply received. "Glad to
have you, Sure we'll take you down
the bay"
The boatless movie. man was TAXI
en- down to the Lusitania by his riv-
ais, but when he got back he had not
soiled a film with the face of a base
ball player or even the imprint OF
an ocean wave. He was raving, storm
ing mad,
After the movie" boat was far out
in the bay the hosts calmly hid their
guests camera. There was no pos
sible way for him to get the pictures
he was after and he simply paced the
deck and thought deep blue thoughts
while his rivals used up yards and
yards Of films. They had promised
to take him down the bay, but didn't
say what else they would do. When
the cameraless man again reached
shore he refused even to say he had
a nice trip or to thank his hosts.
