Dunn's team here has on its roster
several players who only few years
back We're prominent in major league
circuits. Neal Ball, who made quite a
reputation for making an unassisted
triple play in Cleveland, is playing sec
ond for the locals. while John Bates,
late of Cincinnati and" more recently
cut loose by the Brooklyn Federal
League club, is in center. The rest of
the team is made up of minor league
material which looks formda BILE, and
under Dunn the team may make good
showing.
Dan Moeller is sure to have a good
wear with the bat II his hitting up to
date can ,be taken as criterion.
Moeller is hitting harder now than he
has at any time since he was with the
team. Today he drove the ball to the
right centerfield fence on two occa-
sions, for triples. and on one other oc-
casion he hit the ball every bit as
far. but the right fielder was playing
out to the fence for him and pulled the
ball down.
With Moeller hitting as he is this
spring, there is not a chance OF him
being replaced, for there is no more
honest, consistent player on Griftith's
team than that speed marvel from
Iowa. He gets on the bases whole

CHICAGO. March a7.--Will the world
heavyweight championship change
hands April 80
That is the question that is puzzling
fistic fans throughout the length and
breadth of these United States.
The colored champion is q cunning,
shrewd master of the art of clever
ness, and one of the greatest things
he does in the ring is to take care of
himself. He is acknowledged to be a
great defensive fighter. but he is not
one whit the less famous when it
comes to offensive milling.
There is just one other thing that
may be important in solving the prob
lem of which man will win in Havana.
That is the champions condition.
Willard Hits Hard.
Willard lacks the experience and
ring generalship OF his opponent. He
is better on offense than defense. He
is said to have improved wonderfully
in speed IN the last few months. which
should help him in attack He IS not
a cunning, tricky fighter like the
negro. His greatest chance for victory
lies in his hitting power. for he is a hard
hitter with either hand.
There are a great many people VINO
believe that this fight will end the
reign of the colored man. In the opin-
ion of many Chica go boxing men VIII
lard is the choice. 1t is known that
Jack Curley, promoter of the battle, is
a strong willard man. In 4 letter to a
friend in Chicago few days ago
Curley saids
"If YOU can't come to the fight be
sure and get down 4 bet on Willard.
I think he will win sure.

Leaguers were only fair match
for the Nationals in the game to-
day. which the team from the
capital won by a score OF 7 to T..
For seven innings the locals were
held runless by Boehling and
Ayers, but i'll the eighth, after
two hands had been retired. Ayers
was hit safely three times i'll sue
cession. and the one run credited
to the locals resulted. Boehling,
though trit1e wild, was effective
during the FIVE innings he Of
ciated against his fellow-towns-
men. In that period he allowed
three hits, only one of which was
not a scratch, while he famed
seven OF his opponents.
1t was splendid game OF ball
considering weather conditions,
for the day was cold and raw.
There was a marked difference in
the playing of the Griffmen COM
pared to their showing in the ex-
hibition games at Charlottesville
for the reason that there was an
incentive for trying, in the form
OF a good-sized crowd, which
spurred the players on to effort.
Hit Jar1nan in Sixth.
Jarman. a young right-hander. did
right we'll for the locals for five in
nings. but his undoing came in the
sixth. Up to this time he had held the
Griffmen TO two hits, one triple by
Aloeller and another a double by
Shanks. and only two runs had been
scored off him. But he weakened ma
terially in the sixth. when the visitors
earned four additional runs. George
Mcbride was the hero of this rally, for,
with the bases full, he drove out a
long triple into left center and cleared
the bases after two men were retired.
MOeller also did his share, for in this
inning, as well the first, he made a
three-base hit, while his fielding also
stood out. The Nationals were not long
getting under way. In the first inning
one run came home. Moeller starting
matters with triple to right center.
Foster was safe on kelloggs poor
throw and Moeller scored. Milan forced
Foster and then stole second. In the
second inning Shanks opened with
two-base hit and stole third, scoring
while Henry was being thrown out at

the locals threatened to score on Roehl-
ing in nearly every inning, lie pulled
