Pittsburgh Heavyweight De-
clines Offer Of New Or
leans Promoters.
THE LOGICAL OPPONENT
BY ED cuRLEY.

New York, Dec 3o.-Public opinion
slammed the crusher on the proposed
scrap between Fred Fulton and Jess
willard at New Orleans. Therefore. II
behooved the promoters to try and OBJ
tain a worthy substitute, 30 thar tney
started to make goo-goo eyes at Frank
Moran. In fact. they went so far a. to
offer Moran $3.50 to 80 to the southern
city and daily with the champion AZ
far as Moran Is concerned they may as
well not get even slightly agitated. Tor
he won't toddle to New Orleans and hght
willard for $500.
ANYBODY that's acquainted with Frank
Moran won't hesitate to say right on
the reel that he's no goldfish. Therefore,
frankie realizes that 1t always requires
two good men to make a fight that VIII
be attractive from a box of1ce stand
point. So you can easily understand
why he poh-pooh at the offer and also
laughs derisively.
Moran is anxious to battle willard for
the title, but he desires q suitable sum
for hi, trouble. He Ii also convinced
that he Is the logical man to night the
titleholder. and therefore intends to be
amply recompensed. If the New Orleans
promoters come forth with q respectable
offer with a percentage for the winner
and loser. they will get hearing from
Moran. But IL they stick to that $500
offer twill be simply q case Of labor
lost.

hours previous to this startling announce
ment he was pronounced to be In perfect

to spread the news around, but many
PATRONS failed to get the earful. Con-
seauently they hustled to the arena ex-
pecting to see q good battle. James will
undoubtedly have some explanations to
make before our most worthy boxing

ST. JOINS is SAFE.
Big Excursion Boat Was Built for
Ocean Service.

Though she is the largest excursion
steamer in service on the Potomac.
and one of the largest in this section
of the country, the big sidewhee'
steamer St. Johns is as safe ve-
hicle for travelling as can be found.
She is of exceptionally strong con-
struction, having been built to run to
sea between Savannah and Jackson
vile, and her officers are as skillful
as can be found in their profession.
That she is not taxed to carry the
2200 passengers the navigation laws
allow her to carry, is shown by the
fact that when she came here about
eight years years ago she was al
lowed several hundred more persons
and she daily carried the large throng
to Colonial Beach and back with ease
and comfort. The st. Johns is now
making daily trips except Monday
to Colonial Beach leaving here Satur-
days at 2:30 p. m. and otherFdays at
9 a. M Colonial Beach is now in
the midst of it's midsummer gaityies
and dancing, boating and bathing
parties are the order Of the day.
Many hundred persons are daily GO
ing to the beach to spend their va
cations and hotel and boarding house
accommodations can be found there
to suit any purse Monday evening
the st. Johns will make one of her
40 mile runs on the river, leaving

EXTRAORDINARY MESSAGE
Envet Pasha Tells Turkish Soldiers
They Will be Sent Home With
in Month

Athens. July 29-Enver Pasha is
sued an extraordinary message to
the troops on the Gallipoli peninsula
before the last big attack. 1t rau
thus:
"Soldiers, you will fight with all
YOUR strength. At least, you will re-
sist as long as possible, for | car
promise you within Il months time
7 shall be able to send you to you'
homes"
Il Is learned that pressure has been
put on the Germans by the Young
Turks to fulfill the promise to senG
German armies through the Balkans
to the assistance of the Turkish for
ces. A correspondent says:
A prominent military expert who
has Just completed tour Of the Bal
kans states, and who latterly mas
been in Austria, expresses to me the
belief that such an effort will be the
next great move on the part OF Tile
Austrians and Germans.
Should this cross move be made Il
will have immediate and important
results in this corner Of Europe. ii
vo,ld he unwise to give details which
are within my knowledge, but | think
it may be permitted to say that couh'
fer balancing events are moving rapid
" and the Teutonic plans may quite
nossibly be nipped in the bud by a
surprising move of which the public
Should hear at an early date.
