BY RINGSIDE


New York. June S.-Frank Moran is en-
Toying all the prosperity of a ring cham
pion. despite the fact that ne is only a
mediocre heavyweight Also Francis
possesses some Of the qualifications of
present-day titIe-holders, notably dis
inclination to meet logical opponents.
His recent unpleasantry with Jess Will
lard has spoiled Moran. Frank received
close to 81, 900 for taking a ten-round
apparently turned Moran's head. 1t has
also dimmed his vision, for Frank can
see nothing less than $4,000 whenever a
fight is broached, regardless of the status
of his proposed opponent.
Moran was offered $1,000 to engage Carl
Morris for ten rounds. Morris. at best.
Is a third-rate heavyweight, yet Moran
looked upon this hattering offer con-
ltemptuously and demanded $25CC0. As a
result. negotiations were dropped.
Only a few weeks ago Moran signed
tentative articles for a ten-round muss
with Jack Dillon in this city Moran's
demand for $4,000 for his end was grant
ed, and the match finally seemed to be
closed. But now Moran repudiates the
articles of agreement and insists that he
receive at least 81, 900 for his services.
And less than two years ago Moran got
barely his expenses for fighting Champion
Jack Johnson twenty rounds Prior to
this bout. Moran was lucky to pull down
several hundred dollars for his hardest
fights
All of which speaks well for the sa-
gacity and shrewdness OF his manager
Ike Dorgan. But these tactics are not
making Moran popular with the fight
loving community. At present Frank is
well liked by supporters of the game
but IL he persists in overestimating the
value of his services, Moran is likely to
find himself not so much sought after by
promoters. and as a consequence his pop
ularity will wane. and the price for his
appearance in the ring will greatly di-
minish.
