MORAN SHOWS THAT
FIGHTERS CANNOT
COME BACK
Passing Of English Light
weight, Once Peer Of His
Class, Proves Youngsters
Better Than Veterans.

The passing Of owen Moran. Eng
lsh lightweight, once the peer of his
class, ought TO be enough to convince
the fighters and the patrons Of the
game that the word comeback
should be eliminated from the fight
ing dictionary, II may 20 in other
lines OF sport, but certainly not in
the ring. They have been trying it
over and over again. with the same
old result every time The sooner the
fans refuse to fall for comeback fight
ers and the sooner the promoters
make up their minds that the come
back cannot be accomplished the bet
ter off the game Of the gloves will be.
Moran was just clever and wordy
enough to make the majority cf the
fans believe that he could accomplish
what so many of them failed at IN the
past. lie told them how he had climb
ed on tho wagon, how he had fought
big. husky Matt Wells off his feet for
ten rounds ana how he intended to
60 right up the ladder again. They
fen.
It is hard, indeed, to imagine man
like Moran going back so far in such
Il short space of time, Less than two
years ago he was looked upon as one
Of the greatest lightweights in the
game. True, he was flattened by VOL
CAST, but Wolgast was at his best then
and that was not looked upon as a
disgrace.
But the case Of Moran proves that
the same old saying still holds good,
They can't come back and that settles
It, Still, 1t is hard, indeed, 20 make
the public come to this conclusion.
When one Of the old-tmers asks for
q chance against a bnsher they gem
orally rally around him. for they fig
ure that he win have Just enough
class left to carry him through"
Glass, however, does not count when
the old stamina and the old strength
are not there to aid the fighter in his
moment Of need He may be there in
theory, but that let's him out, The
youngster with the vitality and the
pep Is the one to back In these un-
certain days Of the ring. Glass az.
ways needs plenty Of assistance.
