Jammed the historic garden 20 see a
ring battle.
Interest In the mix really In run

Gus following in New York, and
Moran, while he has not such a big
personal drawing power. has a rec
ord which looks good on paper. The
winner has the understanding that
he will get a chance at Willard N
his margin of victory Is broad
enough.
The battle promises 10 be a real
one. Moran has been on willard's
trail even since big Jess won the
title. So has Cofrey. Each realizes
that the other must be eliminated
before he can possibly hope TO climb
the championship road.
Coffey has ali the advantages Of
size. Moran has all the edge on
cleyerness-a large part OF which
he picked up by staying 20 rounds
with Jack johnson in Paris last sum-
mer. Moran probably will go into
