That IL the opinion of fight
critics here today following Tex
Richards sensational offer last

money champion. II Willard re-
fuses to accept Richards re-
markable offer, now that he has
already shown that he Is capital
izing his crown, 1t will be a flat
indication that he is afraid to

what the critics think.

announced last night his offer to

Willard would receive $4,000
with a $4,000 bonus for signing
the contract, and Moran would
get $4,000. Tentatively, the
date has been set for March 3.
