Moran Confident He
Will Topple Willard

FRANK MORAN, challenger for
the heavyweight title--Wil-
lard will find out that bulk Is not
everything. I do not fear his
strength. for I know ! can outhit
him. | shall carry the fight to him
from start to finish. Unless he
makes a foot race of it I am sure
I can topple him inside Of ten
rounds. I must knock Willard out
to gain the title, and this ! am de-
termined to do. Willard cannot
knock me out. If he Is on his
feet at the end of ten rounds he
will be the most sorry looking
champion the public has ever
seen.

JOHNNY KILBANE-Winard is the cleverest big man I've ever seen.
Moran has a good punch, but before he'll be able to reach Will
lards jaw he will have to wear the champion down.
JOE HUMPHRlES-Moran is my friend, but being an official I'm
neutral.
COMMISSIONER FRANK DWYER-Wth both men in good condi.
tion it should be a wonderful bout.
JACK DILLON decline to predict how the affair will turn out.
DAN MORGAN-Moran has IA wonderful chance to knock out Willard.
If willard tries he will win uy Il Knockout inside of four rounds.
JACK SNELLY-Morani is no dub, hut cannot conceive any man his
size knocking out Willard.
DAVE LEWlSOHN--Tf Moran can get under Wizards guard he has
an excellent chance of scoring IA Knockout.
JIMMY DIME-Winard is a great man. bu, Moran has a n awful punch.
JOHNNY DUNDEE-If the bout goes ten rounds Willard will wn.
But if there is "A knockout, Moran will be the new champion.
JOHN L. SULLIVAN-Moran is plenty big enough to lick ANYBODY
The Jack Johnson who lost to Willard is not the same Johnson
who fought JefFries. am not cocksure about Moran, but if there
is a knockout in the bout, Moran is going to deliver the punch.

~ many others see in him one inferior

Willard has distinct physical advan-
tags. lie will have an advantage Of an

mately fifty pounds in weigh, and six
inches In reach. There dissimilari,y
ends and argument begins. Tonight
will settle all arguments.
As TO speed. boxing ability. hitting
power. stamina and the rest II seems To
depend entirely whether one Is AN adj
mirer Of Willard or whether he Is a
friend % Moran. Outside personal opin-
ion doesn't cut much figure with a man
in the ring. The writer happens to lie

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle ana
ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is Just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub II
in. 1t makes an abudance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
dries quickly and evenly. and It leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky. bright lustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and a
few ounces will supply every member
