| The Johnson Moran fight is not just
like the Johnson-Jeffries fight at all.
In that fight, Jeff was known to be a
great fighter, and Johnson was also
admitted to be a good man. In this
fight, though, Johnson is the only
man in the ring. Moran isn't a good
second-rater, judging him in his
fights in this country. Thus we must
take it that Johnson will win, unless
he is a broken down old has-been.
However a pretty wise old fox tells
me that Moran is going to win, be
| cause no man can remain out of the
ring as long as has johnson and dis
sipate as much as he has and still
have any kind of a fight left in his
make up" So. there you are. And
l might add that the "hunch players"
are betting on Moran.

Patsy Kline tells one story and the
Baltimore News tells another story
of the fight Wednesday night in Bal
timore between Kline and George
CLANCY. Kline, on his arrival in
Newark early yesterday morning.
declared that he was forced to prom
Use to agree to allow Clancy to stay
the ten rounds before the men went
into the ring. Kline also said that
eight ounce gloves were used, and he
produced the gloves as proof. Patsy
said he beat CLANCY all the way, but
admitted that his opponent made a
fast finish in the tenth round. The
Baltimore News, on the other hand,
says that Dick Curley. Kline's man
ager, refused to permit Patsy to go
into the ring unless there was an
agreement calling for no decision II
both men were on their feet at the
end of the tenth round. The Balti-
more News gives the decision to
CLANCY, but most of the other Balti-
more papers called the bout a draw.
Kline has been offered a return en-
gagement with CLANCY at Baltimore,
but he says he won't accept unless
he is given 81, 900 for his share, which
is twice as much as he received We'd

Worth Mitten, the clever cyclist, who
just returned from a trip to Europe,
speaks highly of Jack Johnson, who
fights Frank Moran in the worlds
championship battle in France to-
morrow night. Mitten, who is a keen
observer, declares that Johnson, to
ton.
Il went to see Johnson train while
was in Paris" Mitten said, "and he
certainly looked grand The reports
that he is big and fat and out of con-
dition are not so. He is well trained.
Perhaps there is a little fat around
the kidneys, but that was more than
two weeks ago. While l was visiting
his training camp Johnson did a lot
of stunts. He wrestled and showed
beth strength and science, and he
boxed five different opponents, three
white men and two colored fellows
His cleverness was really amazing
Without apparent effort he would
knock his sparring partners dizzy
with a short half-arm jolt, and with
equally wonderful skill he would
block and avoid all the attacks made
on him. johnson, take it from me-
Mitten concluded, lis all right, anC
he will be fit to do himself justice.

Mitten came back from Europ,
sooner than expected. and he sale
