Neither of the belligerents desire to

pressure on Germany may be increased

to the status of affairs before the war

Clergymen Planning
To Prevent Fighting

NEW YORK, March "A number OF
clergymen OF New York have protested
against the willard-Mora boxing exhi-
bition held Saturday night at Madison
Square Garden. The Rev. d. II. Martin,
pastor of the Fort washington Presby-
terrain Church, said the fight was a good
exhibition OF ''doghood," but not of
manhood. He declared:
There should be a movement started
by the clergy Of this city to create pub
lie sentiment against such brutal exhi-
billions as the Willard Moran fight. II
was not an exhibition or manhood, but
1t was a good exhibition of 'doRhood,
because to fight is the best a dog can
do.
Prize fights create a gambling fever
Many weak minded young men will now
say thai II Is easier to make money by
gambling than by using their brains
that II Ia easier to make money by
developing strong bodies and using them
to conquer others than by using their
brains in useful work"
The Rev. j. c. Day, pastor OF the
Labor Temple. Second avenue and Four.
teenth street, said:
II think such fights brutalize the peo.
pie. Everybody admires strength, but
when used to draw blood II degenerates
One loses his sense OF humanity. Some
say Il Ia n clean sport, but there n
nothing clean In making blood run from
a mans face. My feeling Is that YOU
cannot get any legislation on this issue
until you get public sentiment The
newspapers can do more good than tn,
preachers"

Willard Got His Coin
Before Entering Ring

NEW YORK. March H-Though
Frank Moran accepted Tex Richard &
word and waited until after his bout
with Jess Willard before collecting his
end of the purse. Tom Jones. manager
OF the worlds champion, refused to
listen to such an arrangement. and
insisted on being paid for Willard before
the big fellow entered the ring. This
information leaked out today. and has
not helped Jones much with the sports
along the Rialto.
Dave Lewissohn. the Chicago stake
holder. greatly admires Moran for his
pluck and nerve.
Just look at Franks signature" he
said. showing a receipt for S2O.OO lie
signed that without a shake or culver
two minutes after he left the ring. Can
you beat that for nerve"
NO. j don't know how calm VIII
lard's nerves were. lie was paid in ad-
vance. Tom Jones made a big fuss for
the willard end of the purse before he
would let Jess come out, so Richard de-
cided to pay him. I had the money in
my stocking-fye $4,000 notes and two
or 5000 denomination. i handed Wit
lard four OF the tens. Moran got one
ten and two fives.
