JESS TOO BIC
FORMORAN? No
No Man is Too Big For the
Fellow With the Skill
and the Punch.
by TAD.

"Oh. Wizards too big for Moran. 1
don't see how he can lose"
That gentlemen, is the spiel Of the
average fight fan. Maybe the man is
right Aou never can tell.
Size doesn't mean everything in
battle. however You know a little
wife can handle an awful lot of mascU-
line fatheadedness
A leopard, half as big as an orang-
Outang. can clean the latter up, and the
orang- outang, little more than a mouth
full for the champ can tear Willard
apart.
Whaddyemean he's too big?
Was Jim Jeffries, the 22O- pound boil
ermaker too big for Joe Choynskio
The latter fought Jeffries when jeff
tipped the beam at 220, while Joe
weighed 1871. Jim Mcdonald. the base
ball umpire, was referee In the early
part Of the fight Joe gave jeff his head
thinking that the boilermaker would
break his hand on It, Jeff dropped
Joe for the count of five, but failed
10 bust the mauler 1t was a terrific
fight all the way, Joe doing all the
battling. At the finish. Mcdonald called
it draw. Choynski walked over to
the referee and asked how about the
draw stuff He thought that Jim de-
clared the fight a draw becaVse Jeff
scored Touchdown and so evened
things up.
Choynski asked: Can you see any
thing in a ball game but a home run?'
Size Don't Count With Dillon.
Size means very little in the game
Of fisticuffs unless the men are evenly
matched in all departments of the game
Was Tom COWler. the man mountain
Of Cumberland. too big for Jack Dill
Ion. the indianapolis middleweighte
Huh? Tom lasted two rounds and out
weighed Jack so pounds. besides tow
ering over him almost a foot.
Joe WOlcott, the 145-pound negro.
took on everything that walked on its
hind legs regardless Of color, size or
nationality.
lie beat Dan Creedon. George Gard
ner. Fred Russell and Joe Choynski
and he stood q bit more than five feet
high.
Did lem Driscon. the English feather
weight, figure size? Not a bit. He
took on Leach Cross. a husky light
weight, and beat Leach every second
or their fight
Abe Attell, weighing lis pounds ring
side. fought Buddy Ryan. the weller
weight champion Of the world at the
time, and gave Buddy the beating of
his young life Was Buddy too big
Remember Jim Flynn. the little Pu-
eblo fireman, the night he fought the
giant Carl Morris at the Garden? Jim
was about half the size of Norris but
remember the fight? 1t was murder.
Carl never even had loOk-in and took
the beating Of his life. Was Carl too
bi-2 Echo answers no.
KetcheI Beat Many Big Men.
Stanley NctcheL the Michigan As
sassiu. didn't care how big they We're
He fought two men i'm Boston one night
and agreed 20 stop both, although he
was outwcighed 80 pounds. One of tho
men was Perky Flynn That made
Ketcnel sick? didn't il? Yes il did,
IIr polished off Perky i'm three rounds
and then called for the other fellow
without even taking a swiG from the
water bottle.
Moran isn't saying q whole lot. lie
expects to win.
Wizards size doesn't bother him It's
what Willard has that will count.
Jim Colfey is a much better fighter
and boxer than Willard, yet Frank put
him away twice. Willard couldn't beat
Morris. but Cbffey did and Frank beat
Coffey.
Moran has the old kick in the right
ana he has shown us.
Willard has appeared here quite Of
ten and we have failed 10 see the kick
yet.
Size means nothing if YOU have it ON
the other fellow.
