MORAN At WORK

ran, sturdy challenger for the title
Of Jess Willard, felt right at home for
his first workout at Dial Hawkins

He had no need to become acclimated

at White Sulphur Springs the last
five or six weeks. For his ten miles
Of road work the big redhead had to
pillow through several inches of un-
broken snow. ".,
Morans indoor work was not so
strenuous as he had planned. An
army of photographers was among
the hundred odd fans who turned out
to watch the challenger, and they in
sisted upon taking Frank in every
conceivable attitude and posture.
They were strong on flashlight pow
der, and when they had finished the
atmosphere of the gym was thick
with aggravating smoke. Willie Lew

Frank. The latter exhorted the stran-
ger to tear in, but his applications
fell on deaf ears. After a minute of

big fellow, who was the nearest ap-
proach to Wizards size in camp.
Kendall, who wore headgear, gave
Moran an argument every minute of
