LIFE THIS WEEK
RoSCommon MaStodon Herder
to Meet Frank Moran at
Madison Square Gar
den tuesday.
By RingSide.

NEW YORK, oct. 1S.-Jim Coffey.
the Roscommon mastodon herder,
will get a chance OF his short and tur-
bulent ring career when he matches
punch and skill with Frank Moran,
the blond Pittsburgher. IN the historic
sport ampitheater, Madison square
Garden. next Tuesday evening. Be
yond peradventure, the winner Will be
Jess Wizards opponent upon the
champions return TO the ring. when
ever that may be.
Coffey has been going through a
unique process in preparing for this
battle. He has combined Pullman
travelling with knocking out third rate
fighters so as TO be properly condi-
toned for the most important bout OF
his young life Ii was no uncommon
thing TO read every other few dayc
that James Coffey of Ireland and the
Bronx. had knocked out some un-
known in a few rounds, in one state,
and then some other equally unknown
in another state Sometimes IL hap
pened in Canada Billy Gibson GER
tainly kept Big Jim busy knocking
them down and out.
Is Turning Point.
This battle with Moran will vir-
tually be the turning point in COT
fey's ring career If he defeats Mo-
ran decisively. he will be in line for
the first crack at willard; if he is
threshed. he will have TO go back TO
the pleasureable but Improbable bust
ness Of knocking out hand-selected
dubs
Big Frank Moran has taken this
bout on chiefly TO demonstrate his
right TO be the first TO engage Willard
in combat in defense of his newly
acquired championship. Moran has

came TO pass in July Of 1914. when he
went twenty rounds with Jack john

II johnson is to be believed Frank
Moran will be the next heavy weight
king Black Jack says there is only
one man in the universe that can de-
throne Willard at the present time
and that man according to the ex-
champion is Frank Moran. Johnson
has fought both Willard and Moran:
so his statement should carry a little
weight.
Johnson also endeavors TO bolster
his statement by adding some facts.
The big maduro says Moran is big
enough not to be overawed by the
] bulk Of Willard, and he places Moran
/ just a bit ahead of Willard as a boxer
Some Errors.
Johnson is of the opinion that Mo-
ran put up a better fight against him
/ for 20 rounds than did Willard in che
first 20 rounds of the Havana battle
But Jack evidently overlooks the fact
that Willard did not dare go at the
speed Moran those first 20 rounds
whereas Moran and Johnson milled
only twenty Moran thus could afford
to fight at top speed the entire dis
lance, and therefore the 20 rounds
were indeed hard for Johnsonn.

This is one OF the stories they tell
in connection with Arthur Nehf. the

the Boston Braves. and who ranks to-
day as one Of the greatest pitching

April last.
Johnson evidently cannot 90
straight and we now put before our
readers certain facts. which will
satisfy them that this man should
not any longer be tolerated in our
country. They refer to his recent
fight with Willard. and while throw
ing grave doubt upon the genuine
ness of the contest prove conclusive
ly that Johnson is man who should
be warned off, from the ring. We
are not entitled to say that there was
any compact with Willard. 1t may
be that so far as he Is concerned
the affair was straight and above
board. and that he fought in ignor-
ance of the sordid bargain to which
Johnson pleads guilty. but in view Of
what We are about to disclose, some
explanation from him would certain
ly appear to be desirable, and we
need scarcely say that our columns
are open to him for the purpose.
We are not aware of the date up
on which johnson reached England
after the fight, but he could not
have been here long before he was
busy formulating claims for hav-
ing agreed to 'lay down" to Will

These admissions and challenges
are contained In certain cables
sent to New York early in June.
We do not. for obvious reasons, at
present disclose the name of the
person to whom they were address
ed. especially in view Of the fact
that he repudiates having been
party to any such dishonest ar
rangement as that suggested-al-
though. Of course. Johnson cannot
escape from his self-confessed
fraud.

from London on June 8, and this

Washington Might Be
Producing Center
For Photopldy
Industry.

The presence Of Ben Wilson. Doro-
thy Phillips and their company OF
the Universal Film Corporation's
forces in Washington recently has
again called to mind the ideal sit
uation of this city as a picture
producing center and served to
bring out again expressions Of
wonderment that its advantages
have not been utilized for this pur-
pose.
Within the past two or three
years several local concerns have
sought to build up producing stu
dios. but the efforts have usually
come to naught. Just at present
some substantial capital has been
secured and another effort is to
be made by a concern that will
start in the business Of making
it's first picture next week or
very shortly. 1t Is to be hoped that
the new organization. which Is
wisely being built on the founda-
tions OF one OF the older concerns.
will succeed in it's endeavors and
will draw attention to the great
advantages possessed by this city
for the making of pictures general
ly to the end that some of the big
producing companies will estab-
lish branches here permanently.
Washington Is the only national
capital which is not the center Of
its nations picture industry and 1t
offers many advantages for the
making of pictures that are not
possessed by many of the other
capitals. 1t hasn't the climate Of
California and its brilliant sun
shine to lure the picture makers
but neither has London or Paris or
Rome. 1t possesses a number OF
magnificent outdoor locations" for
making pictures. however, and al
most any sort of scenery is avail
able within short automobile ride
from any part of the city. 1t
hasn't the distractions of New
York or Philadelphia. where pic
lures are made in such quantities.
and it has wide streets and many
structures Of classic outline that
would form excellent settings
