and apparently not firing. 1t wa
clearly Wizards round.
Fourth Round.
Moran led with a left to the stom-
sch. Willard opened up for the first
time and shot a right to the heart and
backed Moran to the ropes with 3
succession of rights to the head, Me
ran again found it almost i'm
possible to evadA Wizards labs
with little success. Willard shot a right
upper Gu to the nose. Moran fetaliated
with a right to the stomach. Moran's
left eye was opened and the crimson
flowed from wicked short right de-
livered by the champion. 1t was Will
lard's round.
Fifth Round.
Moran's blows seemed to have no eff
feet on the champ" and he apparently
did not know what to do. IN a short
mixup Moran landed righE and left
overland swings to the head, without
any effect whatever. II did not even
seem to wake up the champion, who
was fighting slowly and, cautiously.
Wizards Jabs again frustrated the at
| tempts of Moran. Willard refused to
try when Moran rested. The fight de-
veloped into a tame and uninteresting
affair. The champion gained the up
| per hand through sheer strength. Will
| lard's round.
Sixth Round.
Willard again let go with an upper
cut that just missed its mark as Mo-
ran was stepping from a clinch. Mo-
ran tried his wild swings, but was
most ineffective. Willard appeared to
| be measuring his smaller oppbnent and
| in fact let go with a short right cross
| that Jared. Both men were fighting
| so slowly that the crowd nearly dozed
! off Jess got TO close quarters and
{ NTOro-
could not land at all and acted ss if
afraid of his bigger opponent. No dam
| age was done in this round. OF was
all Wizards.
Seventh Round.
| Willard opened the seventh with n
| battery of punches hitting Moran on
the body and the head, landing at will,
rams eye and face were badly batter
| ed. Willard quieted down just as it
! seemed he was about to score a knock
out. Jess was absolutely upprotect-
| ed in his eagerness to score a knock
out. Moran covered well. but could
not land a blow in return. Willard
| battered Moran, hammered him with
| rights and leftS, Moran suddenly woke
up and landed three right swings to
| Wizards jaw, but they had less effect
! than the cheering crowd thought 1t
was Wizards round. with Moran as
Stimulating terrific punishment.
Eight Round.
Willard jashbed and clinched. He lab
! he'd again without return. Moran evil
| IDENTIFY was conserving his strength
/ and holding on for a chance opening.
! Jess slowed up n BIZ after the speedy
work of the round before, but kept
| Moran at a distance and seemingly at
| his mercy. Moran TRIED an overland
right, but missed. Jess confined his eff
forts to jabs and short right hooks to
| the face. Frank measured Jess and
| landed a right to the head. bu= the
| blow only made Willard smile. Moran
was a sorry looking sight at this
stage, his face bruised and his right
eve badly cut. Willard won the
| round.
Ninth Round.
| Moran came out of his corner with
q rush and swung with both arms, but
| mis- enarby stopped there. Willard con-
| tinued to jab to the face. Frank made
| a terrific effort to get through the
| champions defence, but without avail.
| Willard confined all of his deeds to
| his piston-ike left hand. AS Moran
missed a right swing Willard hooked
! a short right to the face. Willard
| cleverly lodged Moran's best blow,
an overland right. Crowded into a
/ corner. Moran. tried 20 flight his way
| out. but only received punches in the
| stomach. Just before the bell Willard
1 landed three right uppercuts to the
! face and won the round.
Tenth Round.
The men shook hands for the final
| session. Willard opened up fast, jab-
bling Moran, landing six times without
a return. Moran was practically help
| less as far as ability to land on the
! champion was concerned. Apparently
! Willard did not care about knocking
! out Moran, as he put no power behind
! his punches and did not follow up his
openings. Notwithstanding it was the
| final round neither man steamed UT
| appreciably. AS the fight ended Jess
was landing ten blows to Moran's one
! proving conclusively he was Moran's
| master in the prize ring. Willard
| won by a mile.
