However, what is of more moment than this is the fact that what might be termed an Outsider has in each in stance pIuclxed the coveted title.
 When trim Jim Corbett, the Calf fornia bank clerk, was matched with John L. Sullivan it was generally be- ieved that Sullivan was invincibIe and that he would decisively dispose of Corbett and retain the championship honors. Odds of to 1 were 1iberaIly quoted, and much Sullivan money went begging even at these attractive fig ures. What was the result? The "out- sider'' won.
 When Fitzsirnnons essayed to grab the prize from Corbett's grasp, Corbett was rated a 10 to favorite in the bet ting. Again the ''outsider' won.
 And when Jeffries, with nothing but his ability to assimilate punishment and his powerful punch to support him, came forth to do battle with Fitzsim- mons there were comparatively few who conceded Jeffries more than a fighting chance, and the odds were to 1. For the third time the 'outsider'' punched his way to the top.
 Even though he had worn the cloak

possessed without even being hustered. used his height and weight combination to lean upon the colored fighter and wear him out and emerged from the battle fresh and unfagged. z
 Willard, who is six feet seven inches in height, will have an advantage of six inches over Moran, who is six feet one. Willard'S style of boxing finds him standing head erect and thrown slightly back. Morans style finds him with left hand extended, left shoulder protecting his jaw and crouched. It is apparent the difference of six inches in height is thus materially increased. Is it logical to assume, then, that Moran will elect to direct his aggressive against Will lard's at the outset any more than it is to surnise that Jess will concentrate his early and long range efforts at Franks body?
 The physfques of the men, accentuat- ed by their styles of boxing, decree that Moran shall devote his initial attacks against Willard's body and that Will lard center his assaults in the begin ming on Moran's head and jaw.
 Campaigns of attack and defense can be but preliminary in nature at best. They can be prepared to cover only a limited period measuring the first few rounds. Thereafter everything, each move, is governed by effect.
 Moran's deficiency in height demands

CHARLEY WHITE HAS
 REFEREED 3, 300 BATTLES

TNHE selection of Charley White to
 referee the Willard-Moran match met with general approval White has been identified with the boxing game for many years. He is both honest and capable.
 White has had much experience. He is the man who declared Young Cor bett the champion featherweight over Terry McGovern. He was in the ring when Mysterious" Billy Smith won the welterweight title from Joe Walcott. He refereed the famous championship fight of Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett May II, 1900. He called Joe Cans the champion in his twenty-two round bout with Frank Erne at Fort Erie.
 He gave Ben Jordan. the Britisher, the international featherweight cham pionship over George Dixon. He was the third man in the ring of Peter Ma her and Gus Ruhlin, Fitzsimmons and Ruhlin, Fitzsimmons and Sharkey in their second meeting, Maher and Sla- win and Maher and Goddard
 These are just few of the battles in which White gave satisfaction. He has refereed about $500 fights.

that he not waste his strength by per sistentIy leading up at Willard's head, but that he work on Jess body with the primary idea of compelling Willard to crouch to protect his body and thus lower his jaw and possibly open it to what may prove vital attack. Poss1- bly, Moran's attack on Willards body will prove sufficiently vicious and strong to be vital in itself.
 Knowing that he must first fight at Willard's body, Moran will prepare himself by perfecting his punching along these lines, endeavoring at the same time to develop an impregnable defense for his head and jaw.
 Willard. equally wide awake to exist ing physical conditions, has worked to perfect his jabs, hooks and uppercuts, at the same time devoting much thought and time to the careful groom ing of his body to withstand a deter mined and powerful punching.
 Those are the programs to be follow ed by champion and challenger. They are subject to any and all changes dic- tated by effect, as all such campaigns must be.
 The coming battle will be Moran's second chance at the championship crown. His previous opportunity was in 1914 when he battled Jack Johnson for twenty rounds in Paris and lost the decision on points. There were many accusations and much scandal over this battle, but whether there was real ground for it or not Moran succeeded in remaining the twenty rounds with Johnson and emerging undamaged.
 Since that battle Moran has made good impressively, the record book showing four successive knockouts in
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-08

his last four battles. Last March nc knocked out Bombardier Wells in Lon don in ten rounds, but every gooo heavyweight does that. In July be dls- posed of George Sims in London py lAs sleep route in six rounds, and last Oc- tober he snuffed out the hopes or Jin1 Cohfey in three rounds, and recently again sent Coney to dreaniand
 In his less important battles he has a steady and consistent record of knocking out his men, SO Willard has no easy mark before him Moran also has proved that he can stand the gan and assi1niIate a lot of punishment
 Moran's bout with Johnson compares favorably with the first twenty rounds of the willard Johnson battle. Johnson outfought Willard in the first twenty rounds, but he was unnistalzably ln much better form than against Moran in Paris. This puts their showing against the former champion on a par Moran, who has twice stopped I1nl Coffey, proved in both these bouts tnat he was the man of the hour and proved that he was one of the most cool head ed fighters in the ring today He car ries a heavy punch in either hand, ana, while not clever, his ring genera-lsh4t should prove a valuable asset.
 As to whether Willard's great advan- tages will enable him to put the K O, on Moran can be answered correcLLy on March 25, but the writer is of che opinion that if Willard uses ms Strength. weight and reach and be- comes aggressive he should put the K. O. on Moran inside of eight rounds By this manner he would carry Moran off his feet and tire him out in a short time. On the other hand if Willard in tends to be satisfied with jabbing ana an occasional hook the red haired Pittsburgh fighter will get him with heart blows as he did Jim Coffey.

LITTLE ABOUT A PAIR OF
 FIGHT MILLIONAIRES

DITY Jess Willard! When he wears
 himself out battling Frank Moran for thirty minutes at Madison Square Garden March 25 he'll only get S1,- 583.33 Ia minute. WiIIards share of the purse-$47, ,5O0-is a record breaker for ten round bouts, and in addition it's a no decision go.
 Frank Moran will have to give up thirty minutes of his perfectly good time for the mere pittance of soccer every sixty seconds.

of retirement for several years and none knew whether he was the Jeffries of old or a fattened replica of his for mer self, Jeffries stepped into the ring to defend the championship against Jack Johnson, Iiberally supported as a 10 to favorite. Did the favorite win !? There are many whose purses still feel the ravages wrought by the ultimate outcome of that light.

WILLARD SAYS HE'LL KNocl
 MORAN OUT.

CT AM going to make this fight
 as short as possible" says Champion Jess Willard, "al- though I hate to deprive the fans of the chance to see a lot of fighting for their money, but 1 think they will be satisfied with what they have seen after dn- ish with Moran.
 Moran, people say, is a terrific puncher. I am glad of that The thought that he can nit will make him fight all the better. and that is what I like. When I step into the ring I like to have a man stand up and battle. It makes the work so much more interesting, but am afraid that Moran will not have much Op- portunity to test his punching powers after get my left jab to working. You know my left is long. has a sting behind it and shoots out with a lot of speed. Moran may want to quit after a few punches reach home"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-08
MORAN IS CONFIDENT OF
 VICTORY.

6SMY chance at the title has
 come" says Frank. 'I am certain that will win the cham pionship of the world from Viii lard.
 sEver since I fought Jack Johnson in Paris I've felt that would be champion.
 Johnson never hurt me. He cut a gash over my eye coming out of a cIinch. It was a foul blow and should have cost him the title, as we had agreed to break clean. But, although it bled freely, was as strong as an OK at the finish.
 CT met Jack after he had lost to Willard. He told me that I was g. better man than Jess and that if ! ever fought the present champion he would bet on me.
 T know some people think that the physical handicap ' will labor under will be too much for me to overcome, but think I will fool them badIy.''

HOW JESS WILLARD AND FRANK MORAN COMPARE.
ERANK MORAN is a stockier
 man than Jess Willard.

E1t6ANh MORACN IS a SLCchlSE
 man than Jess Willard.
 The champion is eight inches taller than the challenger; he will weigh fifty pounds more than his foe, and he is regarded as being the better boxer.
 Moran is several inches larger around the chest, his arms are bigger, and, according to the rail birds" he hits a harder punch with both hands. Moran will have an asset not to be over looked in the fact that he has been in constant training.

m
 ten round muss between Jess
 Willard and Frank Moran to be held in Madison Square Garden on the evening of March 25. The coming battle has attracted more attention than any other bout since the Jeffries- Johnson affair in Reno, New, July 4. 1910. This is not alone due to the i'm portance of the battle. but the fact that Tex Rickard, who astounded the sport ing world when he offered over $100,- 900 for the Jeffries es-Johnson nilI again stunned dstic circles by giving $7O,o00 to Willard and Moran for their services in a ten round bout. It might also be We'll to mention that the purse for the Reno battle was a record breaker.
 Like the JeRries-3ohnson bout, there Is much speculation on the coming bat tie being a money maker for Fickard. By the time the men enter the ring staging the bout will have cost Tex over $100,0Oo. Rickard is optimistic and states that he will pull out win ner by about $35,000.
 Picking a winner in the coming mill is: a hard proposition as no decisions are rendered in New York. Unless there is 8 knockout betting men will leave the selection to experts.
 At the present writing Willard is ru1- ing fayorite at the odds of 2 to 1. This is due to the fact that the champion has so many advantages over the sandy haired Pittsburgh scrapper. He tops Moran in height, weight and reach. They are nearly of equal age, Moran having been born on March Is, 1887, and Willard on Dec. 29 of the same year. Willard when he enters the ring, will tower full five inches over his op- ponent, who measures six feet one inch and as to weight Moran will have to concede at least forty pounds. He gen. orally enters the ring weighing a cou- pie of pounds over the 200 mark, while Willard in all likelihood will not be very much under 250 pounds after training.
 Willard's enormous reach of eighty three and one-half inches, compared with Moran's seventy eight is a handi- cap which the Pittsburgher will have to overcome in order to have a chance of outpointing his big adversary. That Moran is the possessor of courage, stamina and punch sufficiently effec- tive for a knockout has been demon gtrated in several of his ring battles.
 Moran has been anxious to meet Will
