NEW YORK. March 21.-No mere

Willard Moran fight Rickard has been
called upon half a dozen times to

his cOrpulent roll
First. Willard demanded $4,000. a
price the mere mention of which would
have sent most promoters up 10 Harry
Thaw's old rustic manse, at Mat
teawan. Then Jess fddled around
with a case of Group, bouncing the
plans in the air day after day while
Richards fortune depended on him.
Meantime Rickard was STUCK for doz-
ems Of long-distance calls between
Chicago and New York, and those
calls don't come for a nickel a throw

Jones. Willard's wealthy manager
squeezed the luscious fruit of the

BY all the rules of the game Willard

veloped unusual langour Of a sudden
