season However. he stated in his let

such he was afraid he would have to
take her to another climate

disappointment to Savage, but along
with the disappointment there came
an agreeable surprise today when the
mail man brought a signed contract

unbiased opinion that Frank Moran

careers of both Willard and Moran.
and personal observation or the
men in action
One reason why I think Moran
will win by a knockout is that he
is a remarkably quick thinker A
man who can adapt himself to the
methods employed by his opponent
is always TO be feared Moran is
a boxer Of this sort He has show
ed it in all his fights
Another reason is that he has
one of the greatest trainers IN the
history of boxing-WilIie Lewis
