Omitted fress staff correspondent
New York, Dec. 19.-This cityful of
fight fans today is wondering why it
allowed itself to be kidded by 10
round bout between Frank Moran of
Pittsburg, and Gunboat Smith. These
two of the original white hopes brigade
hopped into ring in Brooklyn, belab-
ored each other with everything they
could think of-which was nothing
and ended their encounter in a draw.
The gunner uncoiled the famous right
swing a dozen times to Moran IS rotund
. tummy'' and Moran whipped over his
famous right cross numbers of times
to the ex-seaman's head. Once in a while
Smith reeled, but more often he did
not. Moran was even staggered.
Critics agree that the exhibition was
an up-to-the- minute New York style of
heavyweight encounter. The fight fans,
as usual, were whipped.
On the face of the showing made
there is little likelihood that anyone
would risk 100000 to arrange a bout be-
tween Champion Jess Willard and
Smith. And it is just as Certain that
a bout between Fred Fulton and Frank
Moran to cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 would be just as bad.
1t was Moran IS first appearance in a
ring since he was conquered last sum-
mer by Jack Dillon, and the bout also
was in the nature Of come back for
Smith.
