Nv JAMES J. CoRBETT.

New York. March 2S.--I pick jess
willard. the worlds heavyweight
champion. to defeat Frank Moran. the
challenger. in Madison Square Gar
den on Saturday night. As for q
Knockout. think Willard has just
possible chance 10 score one.
The chance against willard deliver
ing a Knockout is that he never mas
beer an aggressive hghteT. In most
a. his battles. and especially IN the
johnson fight. he was not aggressive
But re has told me that against Mo-
ran he intends to make rushing at
tack. II ne lives up TO this plan. then
s5ts chance q stepping the challenger
Increases.
Another thing against Willard win
ming by a knockout IS that he has been
..pulllng'' his punches against his
sparrtng partners in the training
camp. He has made a big mistake
here. HIS arms are ikely to get ured
and heavy when he starts 10 let oht
his punches. backed by his full power,
Then Il Is that Jess Will be forced to
let up on the hard, punching attack
ana relv more on his cleverness,
Moran's only chance of victory Is.
IN my opinion IN landing a knockout
punch. II he wins Al all. 1t will be
ty a knockout And ] think his
chances Of scoring a vital wallop are
very, very small Still, Willard had
better not let Moran hit him too often
on the Jaw.
Not His Selections.

The stakes in these circuits are ex-

up to $1,000, and II is predicted that
even bigger prizes will he put up in

willard has many advantages over
Moran He is the biggest man that
ever held the heavyweight champion

man Of his size with his hands that
ever climbed into the ring. He Ia
quicker with his hands than Moran,
too. Jess IL fifty pounds heavier and
six Inches taller than Frank. And
that ia a big advantage.
willard has a greater variety OF
blows than the challenger, In fact,
Moran has but one real punch--a
right to the head or to the body. On
the other hand, willard knows every
kind of blow. and he can deliver a
punch from any angle with either

After watching both men carefully,
