MORAN CONFIDENT
OF BEATING CHAMP
Challenger Says He's Glad to
Be on Short End and He'll Be
a Good Bet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Frank Moran
VIII suffer from no lack of confidence
In his coming meeting with Jess Will
lard. Nobody is happier than / am
that the match has been arranged"
he said today. II am not suffering
from any overconfidence in my own
ability when l say that I believe l
will beat willard inside of the ten
rounds.
willard is the champion, and as
such he is receiving the big end of the
purse, but for this very reason 1t is
improbable that ne will take any
chances, and he was never an aggres-
sive fighter.
II will be the man who Is doing the
forcing and making the fight. The
betting odds should, of course. be very
much against me. II they are. the
short end looks to me like a better in
vestment than some that l have re-
Gently seen made in Wall Street"
1t IL likely that the situation of the
battle-ground will be decided within a
few days. 1t does not take Rickard
long to make up his mind. He is de-
ci0edly yes and no man.
The referee will be chosen either by
Rickard or by the boxing commission
about two weeks before the match.
Jack Skelly, who is acceptable to
Jones and Willard, saw Rickard in
the Waldorf yesterday. Later Rickard
said:
1T doesn't make any difference to me
who the referee is so long as he is a
man who has the confidence of the pub
lie and who is agreeable to both WI
lard and Moray. One thing, however, is
sure, l will not referee, and you can
go and play that bet across the board"
Moran and his manager. Ike Dorgan.
visited Rickard and McCracken at the
Waldorf for some time yesterday after
noon. Moran was smiling ana conf
dent, and repeatedly expressed his en-
thusiasm over the coming bout. He
was the center of a good deal of curl
Osity, and several outsiders in ad-
dltion to some personal friends of his
from Pittsburgh came up to shake him
heartily by the hand and wish him luck

trance will be made for women wishing

Soccer Football.

Soccer football is played mostly
in Baltimore, judging by the Balti-
more papers. The game is mostly
kicking, but not the verbal kind
which characterizes baseball. The
game also differs from baseball by
the fact that it is no uncommon
sight to see a soccer football play
er using his head in making a play.
Even a blizzard can't stop a soccer
football player from soccering, and
photographs show conclusively that
a soccer player doesn't require
much more uniform than a rabbit
The game is making vast inrOads
into our colleges, but will never
supplant the regular college foot
ball game in the hearts of the stu
dents. In soccer football a player
isn't allowed to use his hands, and
it would break a college students
heart to see all those knuckles go,
ing to waste.

JENNINGS STANDS IN OWN LIGHT.

Jennings is standing in his own light
as a professional ball player. He made
an excellent impression in the American
Association last season, hitting over
200 and fielding fairly we'll. He might
have been taught to play second base
here. When Manager Griffith wrote to
him, Jennings asked that he be allowed
TO report in May. BY that tiTne he
would be done coaching his ou0chita
College athletes. His request was de-
MED.
II told him that ] wanted a young
team, and wanted to get a line on my
players at the training camp. rot after
the campaign was on," explains Griff.
He still insisted on coming to me in
May. I don't want u player breaking
into my team at that time. When
heard that he wanted Little Rock TO
mako q bid for him. I was through.
Now don't want him. l want only
players with ambition to make good in
tho big league. Jennings lacks Ihat
anSition."
Grin heard q lot of good things about
Henri Rondeau from Mike CRntill 1n.
and took occasion today to deny reports
from Minneapolis that the Pawtucket
outaelder was to be turned back to the
Mfllers without q trial.
