Much Depends on Fight.

The Moran Willard fight on the 25th either will make or permanently break the fighting game in the New York district.
 The Gothamites have stood for so much in the way of pugilistic burles- que that they have reached the limit of their endurance powers. They are groggy. If the heavyweight battle proves to be fiasco, it will be knock out blow.
 But should that affair. develop into real battle from the beginning to the end it will revive the game here. The public wants-but hardly dares hope fora slam-bang battle with &C., tion every minute of the way. It wants battle of the old kind-free hitting, fierce rushing-and no stalling.
 If Moran and Willard fight that way, they'll act as saviours of the game here. If they don't, they'll act as it's executioners.

HIGH SCHOOL MARINE CORPS.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-The students of one of the high schools in this city signified willingness to take up mili- tary training voluntarily, at pre- paredness discussion recently, and i1l- formed Gov. E. N. Harris of Georgia, who spoke at the meeting, that it was their desire to train as reserves for the United States Marine corps. If the school Authorities sanction the movement, the Atlanta Marine High school will be the first in the United States. The United States Marine corps has no reserves, and, in time of war, could have the assistance of only one company of marine militia from Massachusetts. The students are delighted at the prospect of train ing for "soldiers and sailors, too."

Willard,s Deceutiye Weight.

The folks here find it hard to be- lieve that Jess Willard beams only 272 1-2 pounds. fully garbed, at the present time. That was the figure an- nounced after the champion had been weighed in secretly.
 "That boxing commission ain't got no reason for cheating 10 or 20 pounds in Willard's weight, but, by golly, I'd bet my next weeks salary of SIS that Willard weighs over 275 stripped" piped up one of the regulars" at Willard's training camp in the Pioneer A. c.
 Looking at Willard from the waist up, it certainly does seem that he cal- ries more than the 265 pounds net which is credited to hinl-but then look at Willard's legs. There's your answer. If his pedals were 2ropor- tionate1y as huge as his torso, the champion surely would welgh around 275 in fighting condition. But his legs, especially the lower part of them, are quite slim for go huge man.
 Willard's pins are thinner than those of Jack Johnson, and thinner than those of most hestvyweights in the game. But they weren't that way always. Once upon q time they were fat and quite flabby. That made Will lard as clumsy as a sea-sick Swede. But in the past yea" he has been pay ing lot of attent!cn to those legs, and has reduced them to skin and bone and muscle.
 Sparring Partners Too Gentle.
 The heavyweight king would make a hit with the crowds that watch him in his daily workouts if he annexed a new sparring partner, one who wasn't quite as gentle as Jack Temple and Walter Monohan.
 Both men worked with him during the long grind preliminary to his Havana fight. Willard, through con- stant sparring with them, has come to know just how they hit-and what they've got. Their shifts and swings are an open book to him, and because of this they don't give him as much of an argument as the fans would like to see.
 Furthermore, both men are careful not to wound the champion. They slam him and they bank him-but they never put real force behind their swings, even though they use gloves so heavily padded they are almost as soft as pillows.

Developing stomach.

The bulk of Willard's work is to develop the resisting power of his body. He probably figures that he's too high for Moran to reach his jaw with a right handed crusher, and, therefore, isn't paying an awful lot of time to testing out his dome.
 But he is doing everything in his power to make his stomach and chest as solid as concrete wall. His sparring partners have been directed to aim most of their attacks at his stomach. And they do. But the most strenuous strengthening method used is to permit Temple and Monohan to heave a 12-pound medicine ball at that stomach at least 60 times a day.
 See the way Jess stands up under that bombardment," pointed out Tom Jones. "Well. ask you, if he can en- dure those medicine ball .wallops. what chance do you think a punch would have going up against that body?", @ How the Two Men Compare.
 Here are the comparative measure ments of Jess Willard and Frank Mo ran, billed to fight 10 rounds in New York on March 25:
 Willard Age, 29; height, 6 it. 2 in.; weight, 247; reach, S3 IA in.; chest, normal. 40 in: chest, expanded. A 1-2 in.; waist. 37 in.; biceps, normal. IA in; disceps, flexed; 15 1-2 in; neck, IT 1-4in: wrist, IA in; calf, IF 1-2 in; ankle, 1-2 in.
 Moran-Age, 2S: height, Gift. l in.; weight, '203: reach, 7S 1-2 in; chest. normal, AZ in; chest, expended. 46 in.; waist, B in.; diceps, normal, 15 in; biceps, flexed, l5 1-2 in; neck. IS in; wrist, g in; calf, 15 1-2 in; ankle, 10 1-2 in.
 Willard's weight and measurements are of the day he fought Jack John- son. He now weighs around 300. ac- cording to report, and will go into the ring weighing over 25O, in the opinion of ring experts.

DARING WOMAN EXPLORER
TELLS OF TRAVEL In ANDES

"Andean Travel and Adventure" was
the subject OF an exceptionally inter
esting lecture that was given last
evening in the New Century Club by
Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams, notably
the worlds greatest woman explorer.
The lecture, which was given under
the auspices OF the New Century Club,
was beautifully illustrated with about
200 cclored stereopticon slides, which
showed many scenes of the rugged
and picturesque Andean country.
Many pictures shown were exquisite
pastels and excited the greatest adj
miration of the audience, which was
large and appreciative.
Mrs. Adams. who is charming in
appearance and address, is the wife Of
Franklin Adams, editor OF the Pan
American Bulletin. She is a member
of many geographical and scientific
societies and only last year was made
a Fellow in the Royal Geographical
Society Of England, an honor rarely
accorded a woman. She has Travelled
more extensively, perhaps, than any
other woman in the world and her
travels have taken her into lands
where no other white woman had ever
been before.
With her first hand knowledge OF
the Andean country which she has ex-
plored several times, the lecture on
that topic last evening proved of spe-
cial interest. She interspersed her
lecture by recounting many personal
experiences which she and her hus-
band. who usually travels with her
encountered in their expeditions
through this rugged, wind swept coun-
| try.
Mrs. Adams took her audience last
night through the Peruvian Andees
and along the Amazonian plains; cit
les in Peru were visited. dark jungle
lands were seen. narrow trails were
travcrsed. or all the countries that
she has travelled none is more ad-
venturesome or picturesque, said the
speaker. Being fond of research
work Mrs. Adams said that she found
the quaint and prehistoric stone cary
ings and other relics there of the In
cas-. which prove beyond a doubt thai
they are more ancient than Babylon
most interesting and instructive. Pic
lures Of the ruins OF Tiahuanaca, tho
oldest city in the new world were
shown.
On this 1,O00-mile expedition, Mrs
Adams gained fame by climbing tc
one Of the highest points ever reached
by woman. She climbed Mount
Misti. which rises 19.2OO feet above
sea level, She made this trip largely
Evening journal., 1916-01-05


on mule back and Travelled from Cru
cero, which is $4,000 feet high, along
the Ancona Pass that rises a sheer
10000 feet.
The lecturer then took her audience
through the Agpalana Canon which
she described as being one of the
most magnificent bits Of scenery she
had ever witnessed.
Travel along the narrow trails that
thread their way along the very edges
OF the mountains and on which sin
gle misstep would plunge a body
thousands of feet below, was graphi-
cally described Mrs Adams said she
was travelling along one Of these trails
one day when her mule met another,
whose back was loaded with galvaniz-
ed iron, coming down the trail. So
narrow was the trail that when the
two mules passed each other the skin
was scraped from her shoulder to her
hand by squeezing past the iron-laden
mule.
The Indians, said Mrs Adams, are
always kind, courteous and polite
Mrs. Adams speaks Spanish and Por-
tuguese nuenuy. She has Travelled
10000 miles through Central and
South America, while not long ago she
explored the Island of Haiti. Prac'
tically every country on the globe has
been visited by her

widening Of the Delaware and Rari-
tan Canal, connecting New York Ba,
with the Delaware River and the deep
ening and widening of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, which connects
the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays.
When Representative Miller. of
Delaware. was spoken to about the
project today he said: THE acquire
ment of the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal by the government has been ad-
vOcated for years because the canal,
while an artificial inland waterway,
Is a real artery of commerce. The
arguments, as far as commerce is
concerned, are just as good now as
they were years ago and they should
have prevailed upon Congress TO give
favorable consideration to the project.
Adding to the reasons already ad-
vanced from a commedcial stand
point we have those to consider at
the present day which bear upon the
subject OF national defense. The Del
aware and Chesapeake Canal is a
vital link in the chain Of inland wa
terways extending from Massachu-
setts Bay to the Virginia Capes. The
situation presented is analogous to
that Of the Kiel Canal which con-
meets the North Sea with the Baltic
| Sea and which Germany built with
great foresight. BY this canal the
| German navy is rendered twice as
effective because one fleet can defend
the German coastline where II would
require two if the Kiel Canal had
never been built. Present events OBJ
viato further comment on the Kiel
I Canal, and the lesson il presents to
the people of this country. If the in
land waterways extending from BOs-
ton to the Virginia Capes are com
pleted. it would be possible for feet
of our hattleships to defend, without
taking to the open seas the most i'm
portant stretch of coastline we pos
scss."
The bill introduced by Congressman
Miller authorizes the secretary o
war to enter into negotiations for thu
, acquisition of the Chesapeake anC
: Delaware Canal and to purchase IL
and in event of the failure of sucl
negotiations within a period of 81,
! liohlho lAbul the udAC VI tAb leooett,

canal by condemnation.
