What Moran Has to Say.
Moran-'T am positive that I will
win decisively and carry the worlds
heavyweight title out of the ring with
me. At no stage of my life have
been in such fine physical condition,
nor have 1 ever felt more confident of
defeating an opponent

pion was in much better shape than
when Willard took his title from him
last year in Cuba.
Willard has not fought any battle
since he won the championship last
April, but have knocked out Bonn
barber Wells in London in ten rounds
last March and in July won the same
from George Sims in six rounds in
the English metropolis. Q1y knockout
of Jim Coffey here last October I'm the
third round surely proved that 1 was
booming right along. My last bout
with Coffey, nearly three months ago,
went nine rounds before I got him
again. My hands were not IN good
shape on that occasion, but they are
all right now. claim that am bet

Willard and the public will be salts

to fight Willard. It all depends on
how he acts in the ring. never saw
Willard in action except in moving
pictures and don't know how fast

am positive that I can see an opening
and take advantage Of It az quickly
as any man in the heavyweight class
today. I feel that possess the quail
ties that are necessary to win a cham
pionship. Wait and see.
Referee and Promoter Talk.

than Bayley, but he has gone back
considerably in the last five years. and
is no longer in line for any champion
ship titles.
The final bout of the night that be-
tween Ed Stranger Lewis and Soldier
Leavitt, should have been easy for the
champion of the New York tourna-
ment, but he preferded to make II last
a while and look like a real match. It
took him 16 minutes. 20 seconds. to get
the first fall with a siccors on the arm
and further wrist hold. but he showed
the real caliber of the two wTestlers
when he went after Leavitt in the next
bout and after fooling along for five
minutes, just rushed the soldier Off his
feet, pressed him to the mat with his
shoulders flush with the carpet That
was all there was to the affair.

Gate Receipts Close to $4,000.
In fact, the betting on the various
angles of the bout sinks into insight
ficance when compared with the many
other financial features of the contest.
With gate receipts of close to $780,
600 assured and purse Of $T1,250, in
addition to $4,000 of moving picture
money to be divided between the pu
gilist and promoters, wagers of five
and ten dollars look like pennies scat

far as Willard is concerned the bout

of his title was but a mere incident
TO be dismissed without serious con-
sideration.
Division of Purse.
Tex Richard was forced to raise his
bid several times before he secured
Wizards signature at S47,5O0. Moran
was originally signed to box for Rick
ard at $4,000. The latter voluntarily
raised Moran's share every time. the
Willard price was boosted a notch,
with the result that Moran's share of
the purse is just half of what Willard
receives. Moran has repeatedly stated
that he expected to make his big mon
ey after he had won from Willard
while the latter has everything to lose
and nothing to gain in the ring, took
care that he was paid handsomely
for any risks that he took in meeting
Moran inside the squared circle.
Large Incidental Expenses.
This great initial cost and the large
incidental expenses have brought the
total up to nearly 100000, or abon
$4,000 round if the fight goes the
full distance. Confronted with these
figures, Richard realized that he would
have to charge high prices, yet the sale
of some 1000 tickets at figures rang
ing from $25 down to So did not prove
difficult. Fully twice as many could
have been sold, and spectators We're
today receiving double the face value
of such tickets as they had obtained

Far Less Than the Usual Number o
Shares Were Dealt In.

New York, March q. Railway
shares supplied a measure of support
to today,s dull and professional opera

where. In fact, the inquiry for rails
at times suggested a cloak to cover
liquidation in other quarters.

issues. were absorbed in large amounts,

of which was later forfeited, again CO.

thereby reviving rumors of Rockefeller
buying into the first named property.

to new financing which is contemplated
