Moran Made Stubborn Fight
Did Most of Leading
Many Women at Ringslde
Encourage Warriors
in Arena
fBy Latest MailI


PARIS.-"Jack" Johnson still holds
the heavyweight championship. of the
world. In a hard-fought battle, at the
Velodrome oliver here he easily de-
feated Frank Moran of Pfttsburg on
points in twenty-round contest. Mo-
ran was game and stubborn. He did
most of the leading and made many
friends. ..>.. ~ .......... 49,.
The great amphitheater presented a
wonderful sight, for although there
were some empty seats, the tiers were
crowded with representatives Of every
element The singular spectacle was
presented of several hundred women,
in handsome gowns, applauding the
two pugilists as they struggled UP and
down the ring, feinting and lodging
and hammering each other. 80.
Among the women were those who
bore such great names in French soci-,
ETY. or Baroness Henry de ROthschild.
the younger Duchess dues, Countess
Matthew de Noailles, the poet Princess
de Lucinge, the Duchess de Rohan,
Princess Maraouzieff and Countess de
Proumiers. .
Johnson's white wife occupied a
prominent position, wearing as many
diamonds as most of the great ladies.
She cried out shrilly, from time to
along, Pop" Now then, Jack, let him
along, Pop" Now then, Jack. let him
have another!" .....
Gloved hands Joined in the applause
that ranged through the building as
the two gladiators struggled for the
supremacy. .......
Johnsons superior skill and his eff
fective uppercutting wore down his
opponent and won the fight. which at
times seemed rather amateurish.
Uppercut Still Effective.
Terrific uppercuts, on which john
son had relied in many of his previ-
Gus battles, were again brought into
play on his young adversary. who was
unable effectively to block them. They
were repeatedly sent to Moran's jaw
when he least expected them. and
several times with such force that the
Pittsburger was sent webbing. but
there was not single knOckdOwn or
anything that looked like a finishing
blow. At the close, Moran's face was
bleeding from cuts on the nose and
under the left eye. Johnson showed
no marks.
Toward the middle of the contest
it appeared as if Moran would not last
the 90 rounds but he showed courage
and kept driving. Although he landed
a number of times on the negro. his
blows lacked force and were compare
lively ineffective Now and then he
tried to land hard on his adversary.
and in so doing swung wildly through
space, Johnson being several feet
away.
Moran took his punishment we'll and
during parts Of rounds the negro tOyed
with him when he saw that he could
do so without danger.
Toward the end Johnson had the
Pittsburger absolutely at his mercy.
Moran apparently feared he would he

occasions also brought caution from

MANY SOUTHERN PREPS
WILL CONTINUE RUGBY
TBy Latest MALL

BERKELEY.-Una to make the
slightest dent in the arugment of the
solid south to substitute old style
football for Rugby, John Stroud. grad
uate manager for the University of
California. is home from conferences
at L. s. -, Pomona and Occidental.
These three colleges. says Stroud.
have formed an ironclad agreement to
play the old game. The only bright
spot from a Rugby point of view is
the fact that MANY of the high schools
will stand by Rugby.
Stroud was able to make closer
agreements for track and baseball
meets and games. The fact that the
southern colleges have excluded fresh
men from their varsity teams made
these agreements easier.

MONDAY IN farker5DuT6, uue Oh
we'll has just been drilled in in Ritch-
lie county, the best prodhcer in that
region for a number OF months.
On Keith Farm.
The new well is on the Keith farm
located on the north fork of Hughes
river, which is on the road between
HarrisyilIe and Ellenboro, near the
former town. 1t was drilled by the
Imperial Oil and Products Company.
Started off Fine.
The we'll started off in fine style,
throwing out hundred and fifty bar.
rels of grease, the first twenty-four
hours. 1t found the big pay in the
Keener sand.
Ahead of Production.
The we'll is two thousand feet ahead
of production which makes it SO much
the better. The extension is to the
north of the present developments
and fine field may be opened in the
new territory.
Once an Editors.
The land is the old McDougal farm,
once the property of Enos McDougal,
the father Of Col. Tom McDougal, of
the Ceredo Advance at htsitime, one
of the founders Of the Richie Gazette,
still going on after forty years at Har-
risville. Such is an EDITORS luck-to
win wealth!
Further Proof.
The we'll is further proof that Ritch-
lie county is the old, reliable oil and
gas producer it has been for over
half a century. The county has never
had any monsters, but millions of dol
lars have been realized from steady
producers, some of them fine like the
Keith well, others of forty or fifty
barrels, lasting for years.
Gassers, Too.
The gas well has been one of the
features of production in this coun'
try, too. Harrisville has had it for
twenty years and it is found every.
where from the head of the north fork
to the Calhoun line.
Leases, Too.
Millions Of dollars have been paid
besides, for leases. In fact the coun.
ty is largely under lease as a whole
all the time, for no one knows at
what minute some such producer as
the Keith well may come in or where
it is likely to be. y
