WILLARD FINISHES TRAINING
after TAKING ON SPARR|NC
PARTNERS FOR TWO ROUNDS EACH
Moran Does Road Work Through Snow and Does Light Sparrng
and Is Confident of Furnishing the Champion

New York, March :2.-When Jess
Willard finished his regular training
today his manager, Tom Jones. an
nounced that with the exception Of
some light work tomorrow the big
champion had completed his prepara-
ton for Saturdays bout with Frank
Moran. Willard was unusually lively
on his feet today. His shadow boxing
was before big gathering Of boxing
fans. His bending and setting-up ex-
ercises were done gracefully and he
allowed his training staf to hurl the
medicine ball against his abdomen
with all their might. but he merely
grinned good naturally after each
shock.
Willard in Fine Shape
Willard took on his three sparring
partners for two rounds each. George
Rodel and Jack Hemple were buffeted
around by the champion, who put
plenty Of steam into some of his blows.
He made matters even more interest
ing, however, when Walter Monahan
got into the ring. Jess evidently had
not forgotten Monahan's left hand
smash which raised a lump on his
head last Monday. The mark Of the
blow had not entirely disappeared and
the big fellow got no little satisfaction
in singing Monahan today. While his
defense is still faulty Willard looks
and moves ike thoroughly trained
athlete and there is no question as TO
his almost perfect condition and his
ability to inflict punishment.
Moran Confident
Moran ploughed through snow anu
sleet for a couple Of miles on the road
in the morning and confined his box-
inc to a single round with each of his
training partners, Madden, McKinnon
and Kendall. He is on edge and to all
inouirers he reiterates his confluence
in his ability to beat the champion.
With more than S. per cent. OF the
II 600 and odd tickets sold it is be-
coming more evident every hour tna'
the contest will be witnessed by the
most representative assemblage o.
boxing enthusiasts that ever gathered
,hou+ souared circle in this coun
try.

This contingent has been augmented

first plunge into the fight game. In
the two classes are to b found bank
ers. lawyers, prominent railroad ON
cials, physicians and many other bust
ness and professional mon who do not,
as a rule. pay much II any attention
to boxing In this city. In addition
there will be the usual attendance from
the leading country and city clubs, the
artist and bohemian clans.
Sports from Many citiss
Not all Of the advance sale OF the
high priced box and reserved seats has
been made to local patrons Of this type,
however, for fully 40 per cent. Of 1t has
been out Of town points. Some OF the
leading clubs of the South and New
England have paid for large blocks Of
seats and boxes. Reservations on In

from the Middle West are reported to
be we'll bought up by prospective spec
tators who are planning to arrive here
either Friday night or Saturday morn
ing.
Spectators Active
While all the seats in the garden
have not as yet been sold the best OF
the high priced coupons have passed out
of the possession Of the management.
Some have already made their appear
ance in the hands OF speculators--not-
withstanding the care taken by the pro-
moters to prevent the selling Of the
tickets at an advance over their face
value. That the spectators plan to
reap a golden harvest Is evident from
the prices they are asking three days
before the contest Seats which orig
inally cost $25 are being offered at from
$50 to $75 each and are finding eager
purchasers. The $50 and SIS coupons
are going at double their face value
There is likely to be great rush for
the 50 and IS seats when they are put
on sale tomorrow morning. and 1t is
certain the spectators will have many
representatives in the lines to the boz
once.
Those that fall to their lot will un'
doubtedly find a ready sale at 100 pei
cent advance among the eleventh hour
arrivals who always are willing to pay
extra for the privilege Of deciding to
attend after the box Office is empty.
