of course, goes into the fray handi-
capped physically. Like Willard, he
can punch, but it is doubtful if his wal
lops carry the force behind them that
those of his opponents are known to
possess.
In many bouts, like the one soon to
be staged, between a good big man
scrapping a good little man there has
been only one thing that could upset
the dope-and that is pure speed. II
Moran were capable of travelling at
faster speed than his opponent he
would have chance to score a VIC
tory over Willard in 10-round con-
test. There is only one way that this
can be determined, and that is by
actual combat. With speed Moran
might be able to break down the de-
tense of the champion, thereby giving
him the opportunity to land one Of his
hard right hand wallops.
But the big thing which concerns
Moran more than Willard isn't worry
ing the champion in the least, accord
ing to views expressed only recently
by the Kansas and Manager Tom
Jones. Willard has made plans Of his
own for this battle and he Is we'll
aware that speed is going to be fac
tor. He figures that the Pittsburgh
redhead will try to outfoot him over
the short route and gain the popular
verdict on the score of points rung up

JUSTICES LEAGUE
NEAR 200, 900 MARK

Waterloo, Iowa, March 20.-One
thousand more persons in each of the
Central association cities would place
the league in class c. The population
figures show the eight cities now
comprising the Central association to
be 192,490, which total falls below the
necessary 100000 mark by 1910. Had
all the cities gained in population
during the past five years like Cedar
Rapids, Waterloo, Mason City and
Fort Dodge, the 100000 mark would
have been reached. Marshalltown
and Clinton both show gains, but
Burlington and Muscatine show a loss.
The census of the Central associa-
ton cities for the year 1915, compar-
ed with the figures for 1910, show an
increase in the eight cities of 26,760.

DEWITT T0SSERS
Local Team Grabs Deciding Tilt From
Moose Independent Five by
Score of 40 to 30.

By virtue of a 40 to 80 victory on
Saturday night the Rock Island Cen
trail basketball quintet proved superior
to the fast Dewitt Moose Independent
five in fast and exciting game. The
contest staged Saturday on the Iowans
floor ended all disputes as to the best
team of the two, as each five has
COPIED a game this season up to that
date. The Centrals now challenge any
independent basketball five in Iowa or
Illinois Of any rating for game next
week, after which the Islanders will
disband for the year. A game can be
arranged by writing Will Smith, 500
Twenty-fourth street, Rock Island.
The contest Saturday was whirl-
wind and the most exciting staged on
the new Moose floor for several
months. Gleason started the scoring
for the Centrals after few minutes
of play with pretty field basket from
a difficult angle and from that time
until the finish both teams fought hard
for victor. The first half ended with
the count Is to IL in the Islanders
favor. The second half opened fast
with the Centrals scoring 10 points be-
fore the Moose could register basket.
The Moose tied the count with baskets
in rapid succession. At this stage the
Centrals displayed great teamwork,
and with the excellent basket shooting
of Reeves and star guarding of Morris,
managed to gain lead of 10 points
when time was called. Whistler played
the best game of his career, holding
Elesser, demon basket shooter Of De-
Witt, to three lone baskets. Dewitt
displayed fighting game and execut-
ed excellent teamwork, which was due
to Elessor. Morris made SEN ational
basket from the center of the floor at
the end OF the game.
The lineup-Centrals: Gleason and
Dempsey, forwards; Reeves and Nor
ris, center; Whistler, Morris and
Reeves, guards. Dewitt: Kids and
Elessor, forwards; Gonnels, center;
Tague and Gostic, guards.
Summary-Field baskets: Reeves, g.

Omaha, March 20.-That Frank

encounter with the sensational Joe
Stecher, and that he is coming to
Omaha the latter part Of this month
or the first of April for a conference
relative to the staging of the world s
championship event with Stecher in
Omaha on Labor day, are some facts
that reached Omaha from the Pacific
coast in letter addressed to
Farmer" Burns from Gotch him
self.
Gotch wrote the farmer that he was
in splendid shape-"as good as ever"
and would be ready to do battle
with anybody with but little more
training.
1t is said that Gotch will leave Cali

which he is to appear this summer
He will join the show troupe in April
On his way home to Humboldt, it is
said, Gotch intends to stop off in
Omaha for a conference concerning

1t is said that both Stecher and

Willard Ot

New York, March 20.-If Jess Will
lard, heavyweight champion of the
world, doesn't hand beating to Frank
Moran, the Pittsburgh redhead, when
they clash in New York Maj oh 25, the
chances are many critics who sit at
the ringside will hand him a panning.
When he stacks up against Moran
he will have an advantage in weight
of 80 pounds, and possibly more In
addition, he will have the advantage
in nearly every other way. which
means bulk and reach and all that
sort Of stuff which is mentioned in the
measurement columns. Then, too, he
has that other thing, which cannot be
discounted-the title.
1t Is only natural that ring fans and
critics should look to the champion to
be returned winner. They always fig
ure that champion would not be a
champion unless he possessed quail
ties that are supposed to go in the
makeup Of title-holder. They figure
that he has the class and that means
that he also must possess gameness.
In the case Of Jess Willard there
isn't great deal of doubt as to his
gameness. Anybody who stood up
and took the lacing that Jack John
son handed TO him for 20 rounds in
that memorable bout at Havana which
resulted in his annexing the title can
not be accused of lacking a fighting
heart. The big Kansas, according to
all reports which emanated from the
Cuban ringside, would have been de-
clared loser at the end of 20 rounds
and Jack Johnson, the only negro who
ever held the crown, probably would
still be the boss of them all If the lin
1t OF that contest had been set for 20
sessions.
So in the minds of most followers of
pugilism Willard must be given credi,
OF being a game guy. His understood
opponent (by comparison onlyl of
March %, Frank Moran, probably has
Just as much claim for being a game
fighter as has Willard. But the bust
ness OF class is another thing. Moran,
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-20

Wizards answer to this sort of op-
position is going to be just what few,
except those close to him, would ex-
pect. He isn't going to try to slug
Moran's head off while the latter is
doing the speed work. Willard will
simply speed up himself and make an
effort to show the Gotham fans that
he can step some himself If he does
that and is able to step as fast as his
lighter foe, few would give the Pitts
burgher even an outside chance to be
returned winner.
But one thing is a cinch, and that
is if Moran beats the champion over
the 10-round route Jess will lose a
lot Of admirers, and some critics are
likely to say harsh things about him.
They're liable to call him a f1uke
champion.
