has whipped all OF Moran's sparring
partners" he argued. And look At
Whitley now he is just a child in Will
lard's hands
Wizards Left Busy.
Whitley surely was not an impress
sivc worker. Wizards long LEI, was
dangling before his jaw every second.
and Allen did not feel al case. lie
seemed 10 fear that as he was com
parative stranger IN the camp. vii
lard might be tempted TO tap his chin
with that big glove or course. he
had been introduced by Benny Rosen-
thai and was told that everything was
all right But. then, Benny had told
him that II would be all right for him
to fight Jack Dillon Saturday night.
Besides being full Of life. the cham
pion yesterday seemed to be in the
best Of humors lie took some sharp
raps from Rodel and from Monahan
without trying TO retort in kind, as
he usually does. When Allen left he
shouted, "Comc back again, Allen. You
gave me good workout"
But the chances arc that Allen will
come back TO the Pioneer Club only
when driven in that direction by Villa
and his army. Unless one has re
hesrsed with Willard. IT is difficult for
him 10 make a showing.
The punching bag has been taken
away from the Pioneer Club, and it
will remain in hiding. While Willard
seems TO have little difficulty in land
ing on his partners, he always has
had difficulties with the punching bag.
The elusive windbag seems 10 be his
toughest problem. SO he has passed
IL up. Why punch bags when sparring
partners are so plentiful?
For a pugilist, Wizards perspira-
ton was lovely yesterday. OF course.
u would have moistcned more pro-
fuscly and usefully if he had spent
tho same amount Of time in the sub
way with a pick and shovel. But that
kind of a perspiration would not have
been artistic. nor would II have drawn
any plaudits from the multitude.
There arc various kinds OF perspirs-
lions. Tom Jones worked up one kind,
and he invited all Of those present 20
the beefstcak dinner in the evening.
Ju-t as Willie Lewis was settling
down for quiet game OF pinochle in
the drawing room of the Chateau 'Aw-
kins. Frank Moran announced that he

for the sparring partners, and BARLEY
Madden, Bill Mckinnon and Frank
Kendall rallied in the gymnasium.
Moran stepped lively round each
with Madden and McKinnon. then bat
tered the protecting headgesr Of Ken
dali with some Earring lefts and rights.
Despite the uninviting look Of the
roads, Francis Charles was up with
tho lark, padding through the slush
for three miles.
To-day being ST. Pstrick's Day,
Francis Charles will spend his time
modestly rejoicing in the fact that
he is one Of those 10 whom the day
belongs. Admirers have given him
samples Of shamrocks from every
county in Ireland, and Moran will rub
his fists with the particles Of the real
sod that cling TO the roots, TO give
him greater strength. lie will resume
his labors tomorrow, which happens
TO be his birthday.

tening a harp that once through
Yonkcrs's halls. This harp bears tho
historic monickcr Of Shamus O'Brien.
The fact that Billy Gibson and Jim
CofFcy. Of Roscommon. will be ir the
corner Of Leonard TO aid and abet
the overthrow Of Shamus IS some
what startling.
In addition the Leonardo 'Brien
bout will mark the reopening Of the
Harlem Sporting Club, an event OF
considerable importance in the north
ern part Of Manhattan. The best
known Of Harlem's younger set will
be present TO congratulate Col. Refs
Ter ,John tho Barber on his res
storation 20 favor with the Boxing
Commission.
The last time Leonard and O'Bricn
met Leonard won the decision, but the
quick witted abb man. I'd Patterson.
insisted that Gibson's protege had
filed his gloves with reinforced con
crete. This charge was threshed out
by the Boxing Commission. which ex-
onerated Leonard and advised the
Insanity Commission 10 inquire inuto
what struck I'D Patterson.
Since then Patterson has with
drawn tho concrete charge. and adj
mits that he may have been mis-
taken. Il may have been only a
horseshoe or brick that Leonard
used. Before the battle tonight both
Of Lconard's gloves will be sub
jected 90 the X-ray test.
Billy Gibson stoutly maintains that
there was nothing in the glove that
hit Shamus but fist. the same fist
which will occupy the glove this
evening. n Shamus fops again, Ed
ward Patterson will have 10 hit the
