SPORTING COMMENT

IN addition, Moran lost a ten
1 round decision 20 Tony Ross
in Cleveland, and Jack Geyer got
one in four rounds over him out
on the Pacific Coast. which were
nothing much to be proud of.
But, later. Moran went ten rounds
in New York with the late Luther
McCarty and knocked Al Palzer
out in seven rounds, two feats
that pretty well offset the others.
r ROM records, of course, it
looks as if Gunboat Smith
should have been the real selec-
ton of white man to go against
the colored star, but Moran was
on the ground ard Smith wasn't,
which makes a considerable diff
ference.

LREADY in New York they


~ are beginning to predict
that Frank Moran, the
Pittsburg heavyweight. is going
to be the easiest kind of pick
ing for Jack Johnson when they
meet in Paris some time during
the coming spring. They are be-
ginning to say around there that
Moran doesn't class and that he
won't do, and that his record is
anything but reassuring and the
like. It's trifle early to VEN
ture any predictions along this
line. but one thing will have to
be taken into consideration, and
upon that will depend the whole
match. What kind of condition
can the negro work himself into
by that time?
IF the match had been made a
year ago and decided about that
time we would feel the same way
that the New York critics feel
about 1t at the present time. But
year on an athletes life when
that athlete has reached already
the decidedly ticklish age of 36
or so, counts for a great deal
more than the average layman
can calculate. So it looks safe
at the present time to give over
guessing about Johnson and pay
attention only to the Moran end
of it.
M ORAN is twenty seven years
w old and a seasoned battler,
because he has been in the game
for four years now, and has met
some of the toughest of the
tough. Much of Moran's ring
work has been done on the other
side, and he acquitted himself
well enough there to justify get
ting this plum with Johnson lie
beat Fred Storbeck twice and
several others during his first
trip to England, but during sub
sequent visits to London and
Paris failed to attrack any atten-
ton. as It seemed impossible to
get men to battle him.
T HE Pittshureer appears 10
have what might be called a
spotted record. There are some
bad places in 1t, and some fairly
good ones, and, all told, it is
not half bad at all One of the
best things in this record, strange
as it may seem, is a defeat Mo-
ran battled Gunboat Smith for
twenty rounds odt on the coast
and barely lost twenty round
decision to the man who now is
claiming the white title. Moran
battled Well that night. and al
WAYS stood a good chance Of
winning the verdict.

DATA S|FT TED IN FOOD
PROBE TO FIND GUILT

Consideration of the voIuminous re-
port on food prices from the investi-
gators OF the Department of Commerce
is now being given by a. Bruce Bic
laski, chief of the division Of investiea-
tion of the Department of Justice, to
whom it was referred.
The information accumulated by Sec
retary Redffeld's probers will be Joined
with that obtained by the special
agents Of the Department of Justice.
and the data will be condensed in a re-
port to the Attorney General.
This task probably will be completed
b. the latter part of the week and it
is likely that Attorney General Nc
Reynolds will use it as a basis for 4
report 10 he made to the President at
the meeting Of the Cabinet Friday
The information gathered by the Gov
ernment special agents and the district
attorneys throughout the United States
is believed to be sufficient to show that
the European war was used as an eN-
Cuse for inflated food prices. The At
tornev General has announced that the
Department Of Justice will assist all
Federal attorneys in prosecuting indi-
vidUalS who have boosted the price of
fOodstuffs without justification.
