And Moran did actually exhibit a iel'
shift. II was not the whirlins rattle
rnak. shift Of Kstehel, but 1t was fair-
y fast and when he swung around ne
produced some fine driving power WIN
.ss left shoulder. A, any rate, 1t was
strong enough 20 subdue BIZ Mchin-
ron, ar added spsrring partner.
Evidently Moran Is q bit hurt a. the
comment on his inability TO use the leI'
hand. All through yesterdays SUMS
he prsc,ised a left jsb and 1t was q
f.irly well-tined and effective JAP az
that. Once or twice he hooked the
usually idle and listless left, and even
Francis himself seemed bit amazed
20 learn that II carried sting.
While the playboy was experim en ny,
Ing with his left hand he incidentally
furnished dinners for exactly 90

Those who know the Moran style OF
lighting will naturally be BIT skeptl'
Cal about ms left, but u certainly looks
vel in practice. In the two fights win
Iofey, Moran used the left arm merely

Moran Is most dangerous when ne u
headed portside on with the right arm
cfsyn way back. From that position
fe can strike almost ss we'll as STANLEY

a. entirely new blow for him, work,
