Anyway. it doesn't fit him any more.
Promoters Scramble for Norm.
A number Of promoters are scram-
bling to get Moran and Dillon together.
The highest bid for Moran to date is
S17.50O. yet Charles Francis can see
nothing less than 100000. Just why Mo-
ran should receive such a large sum
for fighting a comparatively puny man
is beyond understanding. But Dillon is
yearning to drag Moran into the ring
and is ready to make any concession to
the blond Pittsburger-t that is, any rea-
sonable concession. II Moran were TO
have his way, he would snatch the en-
tire purse and let Dillon be content
with the privilege of fighting him.
Moran has lost a soft match with
Carl Morris because Of his eXorbitant
demands Now he may lose lucrative
sum by not minglinE with Dillon.
No Desire for Dillon.
From this angle, Moran has no desire
to fight Dillon unless public pressure
forces him into the match. Moran WV
idly recalls the evening Dillon, weigh
ing 169 pounds, flattened Tom COwler,
scaling 2O5 pounds, in two rounds And
Dillon was quite III that memorable
night Moran was an intent spectator,
and since that night he has maintained
his strange silence whenever a match
with Dillon is preached.
II open air fights are permitted here
this summer, it may be that Moran viii
eventually condescend to trade slams
with Dillon at one Of the local ball
parks. otherwise Dillon viii have to
camp on Moran's trail and force him
into a public meeting

or forever abandon hopes Of fighting

what will Washington do?" was the
question on every lip.
The news of the clash at Parral between
American soldiers and Mexicans was fol-
lowed by reports of serious rioting at
other points in Chihuahua, but in none
of these other incidents were American
soldiers said to be involved The riots
were said to be due principally to eco
nomic conditions and not primarily polit-
ical. The scarcity of food in the cities OF
northern Mexico has been growing stead
lily and in many places the masses of
the people are said to be on the brink of
starvation.
The worst rioting was reported far to
the south in Aguas Calientes, capital of
the state of that name. Food riots in
which big mobs took part were described
in message received from mining con-
Germ.
AS far as this section Of the border is
concerned, the news of Carranza's re-
quest for the withdrawal of the troops
has not caused any open disturbance.
Juarez maintained it's customary placid
attitude and the Mexicsns on both sides
of the river seemed far less excited than
the Americans.
