were carried away with his showing.
Besides, there is always an apprehen-
sion that something is wrong when
johnson is To battle, and the wise
likes" always figure that if there is
any fixing, why Johnson is the one
who will LAY down" This would be
so for several reasons. One good rea-
son is that the champion would be a
top-heavy favorite and the gamblers
! could win a fortune with small
bank roll There would be no reason
TO fix Moran. for Moran wouldn't be
considered worth while fixing. john
son could beat him. SO why fix him
All this is for argument sake and to
show that, although angles cropped
UP beforehand and suspicious were
aroused, the fight was really on the
level and the best man won and in the
best and easiest way he could win.
That johnson didn't knock out
Moran, | would he willing to wager,
was no fault of his. The champion is
the produest man in the world and
he dearly loves his title. l don't be-
lieve you could buy it for king S
ransom just now, but he may sell it
| when he is not competent to defend
it. That is generally the way those
champions do. When they are Just
about "all in and through with the
/ game, they hire an opponent to give
them a whipping whipping said
opponent could do whether hired or
not That may be the way with
johnson. He will probably fall for
the fake when ne is down and out.
But he is at least a year or so from
| that right now.

| For his afternoons work John
son will, perhaps, make $4,000 He
received $4,000 for fighting, $4,000
for training expenses, and he is tc
get fifty per cent of the moving pic
/ ture privilege. His theatrical en-
eagements will net him large sum
and he is soon going to play "Othel-
To-" the copper colored Moor. He
| has a fight on with Sam Langford
which he ought to win, and he vii
! likely get the winner of the Gun
boat Smith-Georges Carpenter bout
which will probably be Smith
This should he another victory fol
Johnson, and then if he feels as If he
/ is about due for a beating. he might
make a match with the French Car
pentfer and lose the championship
to Georges. This dope is not exactly
original, but it is pretty good dope
nevertheless.

As to Moran, he fought greai
game battle. He did a thousand
times better than anybody who hat
ever seen him fight imagined Whe'
he beat Palzer he was given small
credit. for Palzer Immediately after
| ward proved that he was physica
wreck Even the rather mastery
manner in which Moran polished of
Palzer was entirely lost sight o
when Moran's previous uninterestini
efforts in the ring were recalled. Still
this young man, with an ambition
to be the champion in his hreat
trained so faithfully and nursed II
such a confidence that he nigh
have fought better than he knew
how The truth is, no doubt, tina
Moran made Johnson do his best, blu
he will. of course. never be given tn
credit. He will fight again, though
and perhaps he will be able to shoy
by his own skill and prowess agains
others that Johnson is still a re
markable pugilist

Baltimore wants Patsy Kline, tn
Newark featherweight, to fight dow
there again, but from what Kiln
said yesterday there isn't likely t
be anything doing. Patsy is still sor
over his bout with George CLANCY
and gives a new angle to the story
"I went down to Baltimore to figli
CLANCY and do my best, but when
got in the ring / was provided wit
eight ounce gloves. For nine round
bested CLANCY. but in the tent
he made a whirlwind finish and tn
spectators went mad. The fight wa
not frame-up, but | was not eS
pected to Knockout CLANCY. And
he sure that I wouldn't knock hin
out, my end of the purse-$5OO-wa

and l would not have received a Ger

the limit The gPves you have see

3 know. | don't care much about f1gh
t ing in Baltimore any more. The
will have to come pretty high to g
me again"
