MORAN LOOKS FIT FOR
THE WILLARD BATTLE
Challenger Starts Work at Westches-
ter. Using Up Couple of
Sparring Partners.

New York, March 6.-Frank Moran, the
sorrel-topped lad from Pittsburgh, who
is getting ready to box Jess Willard ten
rounds, Is sojourning up around West
chester. Francis came to town Satur-
day but did not make his public appear
ance until today. For the past two
weeks he had been up around Saratoga
chasing benimble rabbit and sailing a
scooter over the frozen lake. Judging
from his appearance these SPORTS made
him good and fresh-fresh as far as
his flesh is concerned.
Despite the cold this morning Moran
called his trainers TO attention and took
them for a jaunt over the frozen roads
OF Westchester. They followed him as
far as they were able and felt very hap
Ply when he made a detour which brought
them on a homeward path. The jaunt
used up about one hour.
When Moran went to the gymnasiu
there was quite a gathering Of leading
citizens to give him the up and down"
Moran went through a short boxing pro-
gram. Instead Of boxing with the same
partner for two consecutive rounds Frank
insisted that they alternate. Tom Egan,
feet 5 inches, was the first victim
Thomas wasn't much of a partner for
Frank and it is probable he will receive
the can very shortly. Frank Kendall
then carried Francis along for a fast
clip. The defer of Willard tore in al
Kendall like a bull and for these two
minutes the spectators were treated to
some action. When Kendall finished Egar
again took up the battle and stopped q
few hard swipes. Kendall followed and
another good two-minute round was or
tap. When he finished boxing Moran
didn't draw a long breath. lie fought
with plenty OF snap and zest, showing

ting into the best of shape.
After tossing the gloves away Franz
took turn at yanking the pulIeys anC
he made the old ropes hum. When hC
wound up working the pulleys, the medi
cine ball was put into action.

Change BentIey's Style.
Nick's pet hobby at present is round
ing Jack Bentley into shape Jack is
ever been in his life. The veteran
coach has changed Bentley's style Of
delivery and is confident that Jack will
prove to be a valuable man to the
Grihmen this summer. Jack formerly
used side arm motion. Bentley has
not had any trouble with his arm this
spring and he is confident that he has
completely recovered from the hitch
which he felt in 1t last summer.
Jack tells one on Joe Cantillion, the
manager of Minneapolis club. who in
tended to turn the lanky hurler into
first sacker. When Jack hit the
trail to the Millers last July he
thought that Manager Griffith had sold
him to Cantillon- Although his arm
went bad, Cantillon kept him through
out the season, and when the MilIers
had finally sewed up the pennant Jack
was invited to take a trip down the
Mississippi on Joe's houseboat, but.
owing to business at his home at
SANDY Springs, Jack hustled east and
paid Griffith visit at the clubs Of

was still the property of the Nationals.

umph as a producer. The cast is
long one and includes thirty-sever
speaking characters.
The accompanying music is one o.
