Frank Moran Disappoints.

Frank Moran's hsticuff with Gunboat
Smith IN Brooklyn last Monday night
added nothing to the prestige Of the
Pittsburg battler. His showing was a
decided disappointment to many Of his
friends. Moran men expected Frank to
sink the venerable Gunner with his
mighty right. but he failed dismally.
That Moran failed to outpoint Smith
was no surprise. The Gunner Is a crafty
old bird, and a tough man to hit, Fur
thermore he enjoys something over
Moran In the matter OF reach, and he
continually jabbed that long left I'm into
Franks map. Meanwhile Frank was
sauntering around the ring. measuring
for his famous "Mary Ann"
MARY Ann was all ready and primed
on any number OF occasions, but the foxy
Gunner knew too we'll the Significance OF

that matter. Hence II was far from ,his
intention to anchor at any spot long
enough to let Francis drag that punch
up from the floor and shoot II over on
him.
Moran's showing was far from pleas
