FRANK MORAN BACK IN U. S.
Famous Pug Returns from Europe
and Puts New Life Into the
Heavyweight Division.
A GOOD MATCH FOR WILLARD

NEW YORK. Sept. 4.-The return OF
Frank Moran from abroad has injected
life into the heavyweight division and
several matches which promise good
competition are now in sight The game
so far as the big fellows are concerned
was dying of dry rot, until the blond
haired Pittsburgher arrived. Except for
a match in which the champion, Jess WI
lard. would be one Of the participants,
only about two heavyweight contests
really stood out" and they are OF
merely local interest, Now there are sew
eral attractive combinations that could
be arranged with Moran's assistance.
The heavyweight situation Is a mud
died one all through. When It comes
to picking an opponent for Willard, the
picker has a Chinese puzzle to solve. All
the contenders for that match are closely
grouped, and no one of them can be re-
garded as the logical" one. Moran's
right to consideration is about as strong
as any other mans. but even his is not
an incontestable one. There isn't
battler in the division whose record il
clean enough TO make him the runner up.
Moran is young man OF more than
average intelligence and acumen. His

fully hep to the fact that his record is
not so weighty as to gain him that bout
without providing additional proof of
his worth to it. This is the very little
thing that he proposes TO do, and on
October 10, at Madison Square garden, he
will meet one of his most formidable
rivals in the person OF James ]. Coffey.

Moran is now up the state some place
training himself for that bout. After
his long absence from This country ne !
REQUIRES some time to acclimate himself I
again. He has mapped out hard siege
OF training to fit himself for the Coffey |
bout and those which will como after ,
He is figuring ahead OF Coffey, for he |
is quite sure that James j. Is merely
a temporary obstacle In his path toward !
the Willard match. Morans purpose first
is to establish himself as the '1ogicai
contender and then to set sail for VIII
lard. If he gets Coffey there are sew
eral more men with whom he would
make good match. and the deciding of
these future bouts would be interesting
entertainment for the fans.

BASE BALL POOLS MAKE COIN
Barney Dreyfus Declares Pools
Took in More Money in Pitts
burgh Than Club Did.
FIFTY THOUSAND WEEK PROFIT

| NEW YORK. Sept. A-That the pro
motors Of base ball pools were getting
more money out of Pittsburgh than the
Pittsburgh National league team is the
statement made In the Baseball Magazine
by Barney Dreyfus, president of the
Pittsburgh club. Although legal action
has been taken against the pools in sew
eral places. there are many still in a
flourishing condition.
Mr.. Dreyfus said: I'VE investigated and
found that the pools were getting more
money out Of Pittsburgh than the Pitts
burgh ball club. In one week we esti-
mated as nearly as we could on the
figures at hand that they absorbed $4,000
from that one city. We also investigated
and found that a considerable number of
prize winners didn't live at the addresses
that appeared or were missing from the
city directory or hadn't received any
prize money. One of the worst features of
all these base ball pools Is even with the
heavy odds against him the player doesn't
get fair chance to win. He has men,
bers of the concern to compete against
and all kinds OF crooked work to con-
tend WITH so that the prizes which are
actually given are smaller ones and in no
case the larger amounts appearing in the
lists"

Como, Italy, Oct. 23.-(Via Paris)-
Today's session Of the trial Of Porter
Charlton, the American charged with
having murdered his wife, was given
over largely to reports Of alienists.
The prosecutions expert read a lengthy
report which reached the conclusion
that Charlton was entirely responsible
mentally The defense expert argued
that the prisoner was irresponsible.
Baron Sciacco the presiding judge
read a deposition made by Charlton in
New Jersey shortly after his arrest.
This deposition was regarded as OF
importance because, although 1t con-
tained the admission that Charlton
killed his wife it did not mention the
epileptic coma. into which according
to q later deposition he passed after
