Cares VIII FOllOD Big
Men Into Prize Ring

Pugilists in training are not sup
posed to permit anything to dis
tress or worry them. But right
now Frank Moran is sorely grieved
over the death of his little pal,
Willie Lewis, Jr. On the night he
fights Willard the boys father
will be in his corner. Jess Willard
will go into the ring a worried man
because he will be expecting the
news that he is again father and
ne is gravely concerned over the
health of Mrs. Willard.
Moran was all broken up over
the news of little Willie Lewis
death, as the child had been his
companion during his stay in Eu-
rope and on all of his training
trips. The tragedy has completely
changed Lewis, Sr., and Moran's
trainer and second, once the gay
est ringman of them all, is de-
pressed and silent.
Willard was deeply touched by
the news of the boys death and
asked that Lewis be told how much
ne felt for him. 1t is certain that
both Willard and Moran will be
glad when it is all over and they
both can have a little time for
their private griefs and worries.

dead the memory of Larry as a player
will be fresh in the minds of the fans.
Every player in the squad, including
young Malone who Is battling for Lajoie's
position. appreciates Larry's position, and
are all pulling for him to show a flash of
his old-tme form.
Like Matty ana Wagner who also are
starting on what may be the last season
of a wonderful career, Lajoie never really
appreciated just what the grand old game
meant to him until now.
In other years baseball was just n busl.
ness. He knew his lob was sure and while
he naturally had to like the game to last
so long. he never realized just how much
he cared for II until he reached the point
where he has to fight or step out forever.
Larry would willingly give large per.
centage of the fortune he has amassed
from the game for just about three of the
years when he was In his heydey, so that
he could close his career in blaze Of
glory.
Considering the length of time he has
been In the game Larry looks young. Hts
legs are not as good as they were few
years ago, and he cannot cover the ground,
but he can still hit, and his wonderful
knowledge of the inside points of the game
give him great chance to hold his posi-
ton for few months at least.
In the meantime Larry will school Ma.

CHAMPION READY NOW

NEW YORK, March 81. - The State
Athletic Commission has placed its off,
cial' o. X. on Willard and Moran. Dr.
Joseph NJ. Creamer. supervising physician
of the commission, visited the training
quarters of the fighters, and each man
was subjected to thorough examination
to determine his fitness to contest ten
rounds.
Doctor Creamer reported that both Will
lard and Moran were in perfect condl-
tion, which spiked criticism as to whether
they would be ready to fight their best
Chairman Wenck last night sent out the
following statement:
"Dr. Joseph NJ. Creamer, physician of
the State Athletic Commission, paid his
of Jess Willard and Frank Moran on Sun
day, prior to. his ringside examination
Saturday night.
doctor Creamer expressed surprise at
the Improvement in Willard since his
training siege in New York. He examined
Willard on his arrival in New York and
had his doubts then whether the cham
pion could get fit for hard battle in so
short a time. Doctor Creamer says Will
lard is ready right now TO go 10 rounds
at top speed with Moran or anybody else.
and that his present condition Is a fine
tribute to his training methods, despite all
criticism to the contrary.
Moran was bristling with vigor and
ready TO fight when he returned from
Saratoga two weeks ago. says Doctor
Creamer and, IL possible, he is even better
today than he was then. He Is as hard
as iron and the most confident man in the
world. Both men are in prime condition"

no one can discount one of the most won.

Tyrus Cobb is going like mad and has
surpassed Larry's high.water marks for
