Baseball critics seem generally to
acknowledge that only a radical
change in the money policy of the
Cleveland baseball bankers will make
the Indians possible winners in the
1916 season. There are several olev-

teams who might be secured in ex-
change for a suitable financial outlay
on the part Of the close-hgurine Cleve-
land baseball inancieps. However,

That the defeat Of Coney at the

Of eastern sport critics. Coney has
been one Of the most popular fighters
the game has ever known and, for
this reason, the Cofey-Willard bout
would have been a drawing card Of
tremendous power, especially i'm Goth

Coney's defeat may be attributed
more to his own failings than to any
great mastership on the part Of his
conqueror, Moran. Failure to be cool
under fire, especially when big money
is at stake. is said to be a fatal weak
ness Of the so-called Dublin champion.
On the other hand, most of the sport
writers are unwilling to admit that
Moran possesses more than mediocre
