In another training camp, Jim Shaw,
the big right-hander who was out of the
! game almost the entire season, should
come back in great shape. What he will
do without a chance TO get much good
training is problematlcal The same is
true OF Harry Harper, the sensational

or the other men from last years STAFF,
Ayres and Bentley should be better than
last season, but Boehlings future Is
doubtful. Griffith has been trying to trade
or sell him all winter: but no other club
wants to take a chance on the southpaw.
In condition Boehllng is a great pitcher,
but his injured knee and failure to OBJ
serve training rules may shorten his
career
Griffith has picked up two promising
young twirlers, one of whom showed un-
usual promise at the close of the 1915
season. This youngster is George Dumont,
of the Fargo team of the Northern League.
The other is Charley Humphreys, of Nor
folk, who was the best pitcher in the
Virginia League. Little Is known of the
other recruit hurlers.
The sale of Gandil to Cleveland was due
to the latter's failure to agree with Man
ager Griffith on many subjects, the most
important of which was the selection of
Charlottesville as a training camp. and
to the unusual work OF Joe Judge, at
Buffalo last season.
Scouts and players who have seen
Judge play declare that he is superior
to Gandil in every way, and that Grif-
fifth has picked up a star He is sure of
his position. while Mcbride and Foster are
other infield certainties. 1t is likely Fos-

WILLARD TO X. @.
MORAN is WAGER
MADE BY JONES
Champions Manager Bets
$1,000 Even Contender
Will Be Counted Out
DORGAN COVERS MONEY

NEW YORK, March 6.--The feeling of
confidence in Jess Wizards camp that the
champion will win from Frank Moran at
Madison Square Garden on March % by a
knockout has become so strong that Tom
Jones, WIZARDS manager, has wagered
$1,000 at even money with Ike Dorgan
manager of Moran, that Willard will
knock out the Pittsburgher. This is one
of the few good-sized bets on the bout that
have been made thus far Jones is cred
tied with being a shrewd bettor, and he
made the wager with Dorgan with the
greatest apparent satisfaction. He has
also made other bets that the champion
will register the dream.punch on Moran.
The betting fraternity is just becoming
active on this bout and the coming week
may see some large wagers registered.
Some of the wise gamblers are willing to
take the Moran end at good odds, but
there have been no bets made which indi
cate Morans hackers are willing to take
a chance on his outpointing the champion,
except at wide odds
One betting commissioner has $4,000 to
bet at odds of 10 to 8 that Willard will
cislons. on account of the no-decson
rule of the state Athletic Commission,
newspaper decisions are the only basis
for a decision, and to most bettors this
is not satisfactory conclusion in many
cases. A few bets have been made at
even money that Moran will stay six
rounds.
Morans friends are willing to bet large
amounts at even money that he will stay
the 10 rounds with Willard.

INJURY CAUSES MORAN
TO POSTPONE TRAINING
Contender in Bout With Jess
Willard Is Hurt While
Iceboating

NEW YORK, March ct became
known today that an injury suffered by
Frank Moran while iceboating near
Saratoga may postpone, for a day or so,
his workout program at Dal Hawkins, in
preparation for his bout with Jess Willard
on the 25th.
Frank was thrown off his iceboat while
trying to take turn at a 40-mile per
hour clip on Saratoga Lake" said Ike
Dorgan, Moran's manager He shot along
about 80 feet on the ice and the friction
seems to have scorched his left leg
slightly.
Frank had figured on beginning his
workouts today, but he won't get down to
real business until tomorrow or Wednes-
day He'll spend the afternoon doing
little gymnasium work and selecting his
sparring partners. BY Wednesday. at the
latest, his leg ought to be all right. He
may try out the leg during the afternoon
In a two-round bout with one of the fell
lows out at Dal's place"

final, while the winners Immediately play
Willis Davis and Joe Thayer in the final.
1t will be Davis and Thayer VS.. johnson
and Thayer almost undoubtedly and
great match should result. Davis is play

finals against Tilden and the last set of
the match with Thayer Joe Thayer Is
always a hard-hitting. dangerous player.

while the ability of Wallace Johnson and
Alex Thayer as a double team, is too well
known to need comment.
The struggle for the doubles champion
ship should be a keen one, with chances
slightly favoring the State champions.
The tournament has produced excellent
tennis in all events and has been splen-
ddly managed. Paul w. Gibbons de-
serves credit for getting the large number
of matches off so close to schedule Next
