WILLARD AND MORAN READY FOR
TEN-ROUND BATTLE TONIGHT;
FAVOR CHAMPION IN BETTING

cause of his recent bouts, responded
quickly to the conditioning routine.
Willard, however, once he settled down
to hard work dropped weight and in
creased his speed rapidly and while
it is doubtful II he is in the same
~agnificent shape that he was when
he met Johnson at Havana, he should
be able to box the full ten rounds at
top speed if necessary.
Whatever the outcome of the battle
the two heavyweights will be well re-
paid for their training in the ring. If
the contest goes the full distance the
principals will receive $7,125 per
round or at the rate of $2,375 per
minute. OF this sum Wizards share
will be $1,5S3.33 and Moran's $791.66
per minute. The purse of $71,250 is
the largest ever offered for a ring bat
tie of any distance with the exception
of the $121,000 given to Johnson and
Jeffries by Rickard in their fight at
Reno, New, in 1910. The purse IS
larger than the gate receipts taken in
at any fight ever held in New York
State under the Horton law or the
present Frawley regulations. But two
fights, the Johnson-J Je1fries and John
SON Burns battle in Australia brought
receipts in excess Of $71,250.
The difficult task of refereeing the
bout has been placed in the hands OF
the veteran, Charley White, an eX-
perienced boxing arbiter. and he has
stated that he will insist upon the
principals boxing in strict accordance
with the rules. Because of his past
experience as third man in the ring
at a number of championship bat
ties, White should be able to decide
upon all technical points which may
arise. Considerable responsibility will
rest upon his shoulders as Willard
might lose his title in several ways,
Notwithstanding that the contest is
billed as a ten-round no-decision bout
Moran would become the heavyweight
title holder should he knock out Will
lard or in case the later was to foul
Moran during the struggle. White is
also empowered to stop the fight in
case either one of the men is incapa-
citated for any reason and unable to
continue. Such a decision would au-
tomatically make the other principal
a winner and technically the holder
of the title.
