lard ever since the latter won the championship from Jack Johnson, nearly a year ago. and, basing lis chances on the showing he made against Johnson at Paris in 1914, Mo- ran believes he has the ability and force to wear down Willard, even in a limited bout of ten rounds.
 Willard will make every effort with in his power to knock out Moran. Ten rounds is a short bout in which to ac- complish this task, but Willard eX- presses his confidence in being able to do it. A victory is necessary for the fortune of the house of Willard His circus contract stipulates that he must win.
 However there will be two men in that ring March 25. Besides Willard there will be 200 pounder who owns a knockout punch and an iceberg dispo- sition, who not long since knocked loose from his understanding a fighter who had been figured Willard's most dangerous rival-Jim COffey, heavy weight of proved gameness and endur- ance Moran's task will be to make it a fight. Can he do it?
 Accounts of his battles indicate he is a slow, deliberate WOrllnlan not very aggressive, preferring to catch the oth- CT man coming to him rather than to carry the milling to him.
 However, working against man of
New Britain herald., 1916-03-17

possessed without even being fustered, used his height and weight combination to lean upon the colored fighter and wear him out and emerged from the ! battle fresh and unfagged.
 Willard, who is six feet seven inches in height, will have an advantage of six inches over Moran, who is six feet one. Willard's style of boxing finds him standing head erect and thrown slightly back. Moran's style finds him with left hand extended, left shoulder protecting his jaw and crouched. It is apparent the difference of six inches in height is thus materially increased Is 1t logical to assume, then, that Moran will elect to direct his aggressive against Will lard's at the outset any more than 1t is to surmise that Jess will concentrate his early and long range efforts at Franks body?
 The physiques of the men, accentuat- ed by their styles of boxing, decree that Moran shall devote his initial atta cks against Willard's body and that Will lard center his assaults in the begin ming on MOrans head and jaw.
 Campaigns of attack and defense can be but preliminary in nature at hest They can be prepared to cover only a limited period measuring the first few rounds. Thereafter everything, each move, is governed by effect

CHARLEY WHITE HAS
 REFEREED $500 BATTLES

'TNHE selection of Charley White to
 referee the Willard Moran match met with general approval. White has been identified with the boxing game for many years. He is both honest and capable.
 White has had much experience. He is the man who declared Young Cor bett the champion featherweight over Terry MCGovern. He was in the ring when Mysterious" Billy Smith won the WelterWeight title from Joe Walcott. He refereed the famous championship light of Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett May II, 1900. He called Joe Cans the champion in his tWenty-two round bout with Frank Irne at Fort Erie.
 He gave Ben Jordan, the Britisher the lnterna tional featherWeight cham plonship over George Dixon. He was the thlrd man in the ring of Peter Ma her and Gus Ruhlin, F'itZsimmons and Ruhlln, Fitzsimmons and Sharkey in thelr second meeting, Maher and Sla- Flh and Maher and Goddard.
 Ihese are just a few of the battles m which White gave satisfaction. He has refereed about $500 fights.

' his last four battles. Last March he
 knocked out Bombardier Wells in Lon- | don in ten rounds, but every good | heavyweight does that. In July he dis posed of George Sims in London by the sleep route in six rounds. and last Oc-' tober he snuffed out the hopes of Jim Coffey in three rounds, and recently
 again sent Coffey to dreamland.
 In his less important battles he has
 a steady and consistent record of
 knocking out his men, so Willard has
 no easy mark before him. Moran also
 has proved that he can stand the gaff and assinilate lot of punishment
 Moran's bout with Johnson compares favorably with the first twenty rounds of the willard Johnson battle. Johnson outfought Willard in the first twenty rounds, but he was unmistakably in much better form than against Moran in Paris. This puts their showing against the former champion on a par. Moran, who has twice stopped Jim Coffey, proved in both these bouts that he was the man of the hour and proved that he was one of the most cool head ed fighters in the ring today. He oar ries a heavy punch in either hand, and. while not clever, his ring generalship should prove a valuable asset.
 AS to whether Willard's great advan- tages will enable him to put the K O. on Moran can be answered correctly on March 25, but tho writer Is or the opinion that if Willard uses nlS strength, weight and reach ana os- comes aggressive he should put tnS K. O. on Moran inside of eight rounos. By this manner he would carry Moran off his feet and tire him out in snort time. On the other hand, if Willard in- tends to be satisfied with jabbtns sno an occasional hook the red haired Pittsburgh fighter will get him with heart blows as he did Jim Cofrsv.

 VICTORY

TEMY chance at the title has
 come" says Frank. "I am certain that I will win the cham pionship of the world from Will lard
 Ever since I fought Jack Johnson in Paris I've felt that l would be champion,
 Johnson never hurt me. He cut d gash over my eye coming out of a Clinch. It was q foul blow and should have cost him the title, as we had agreed to break clean. But, although it bled freely I was as strong as an OK at the finish.
 T met Jack after he had lost to Willard. He told me that 1 was a better man than Jess and that if I ever fought the present champion he would bet on me. T know some people think !, that the physical handicap I will labor under will be too much for me to overcome, but l think I will fool them badly.'

WILLARD SAYS HE'LL KNOCK
 MORAN oUTs

} HT AM going to make this fight as short as possfbiet~ says Champion Jess Willard, @i- though hate to deprive the fsns of the chance to see 8 lo4 oS fighting for their money. but think they will be satisfied with what they have seen after hn- ish with Moran.
 Moran, people say, Is & terrific puncher. I am glad of that. The thought that he can hit will make him fight all the better, and that is what I like. When I step into the ring like to have a man stand up and battle. It makes the work so much more interesting, but I am afraid that Moran will not have much op- portunity to test his punching powers after I get my left jab to working. You know my left is long, has a sting behind it and shoots out with a lot of speed. Moran may want to quit after few punches reach home.'

that he not waste his strength by per sistently leading up at Willard's head but that he work on Jess body with the primary idea of compelling Willard to crouch to protect his body and thus lower his jaw and possibly open it to what may prove a vital attack Fossil l ply Morans attack on Willards body will prove sufficiently vicious and strong to be vital in itself.
 Knowing that he must first fight at Willard's body, Moran will prepare himself by perfecting his punching along these lines, endeavoring at the same time to develop an impregnable defense for his head and jaw
 Willard, equally wide awake to exist ing physical conditions, has worked to perfect his jabs, hooks and uppercuts, at the same time devoting much thought and time to the careful groom ing of his body to withstand deter mined and powerful punching.
 Those are the programs to be follow ed by champion and challenger They are subject to any and all changes dic- tated by effect, as all such campaigns must be.
 The coming battle will be Moran's second chance at the championship crown. His previous opportunity was Tn 1914 when he battled Jack Johnson for twenty rounds in Paris and lost the decision on points. There were many accusations and much scandal over this battle, but wh6ther there was real ground for it or not Moran succeeded in remaining the twenty rounds with Johnson and emerging undamaged.
 Since that battle Moran has made good impressively, the record book showing four successive knockouts in

ISn InuSS between Jess
 A Willard and Frank Moran to be held in Madison Square Garden on tlle evening of March 25. The coming battle has attracted more attention han any other bout since the Jeffries- Johnson affair in Reno, New, July 4, 1910. This is not alone due to the inn portance of the battle but the fact that Tex Rickard, who astounded the sport ng world when he offered over $100,- l00 for the Jeffries -Jo Johnson mill again itunned fistic circles by giving s70,000 10 Willard and Moran for their services n a ten round bout. It might also be well to mention that the purse for the Reno battle was a record breaker.
 Like the Jeffries- Johnson bout, there s much speculation on the coming bat lie being a money maker for Rickard By the time the men enter the ring tagging the bout will have cost Tex Iver $10O,000. Rickard is optimistic md states that he will pull out win aer by about $35,000
 Picking a winner in the coming mill a hard proposition as no decisions Ire rendered in New York. Unless there s a knockout betting men will leave .hQ selection to experts.
 At the present writing Willard is rul- ng favorite at the odds of 2 to i. This due to the fact that the champion las so many advantages over the sandy laired Pittsburgh scrapper He tops Moran in height, weight and reach. They are nearly of equal age, Moran iaying been born on March IS, 1887, md Willard on Dec. 29 of the same rear. Willard, when he enters the ring, will tower full five inches over his op- ,onent, who measures six feet one inch, md as to weight Moran will have to .oncede al least forty pounds. He gen lrally enters the ring weighing a cou- ole of pounds over the 200 mark, while Willard in all likelihood will not be rery much under 25O pounds after raining.
 Willard's enormous reach of eighty .hree and one-half inches as compared with Moran's seventy eight is a handi- lap which the Pittsburgher will have 0 overcome in order to have a chance If oUtpointing his big adversary. That Moran is the possessor of courage, stamina and a punch sufficiently effec i've for a knockout has been demon 5Jtrated in several of his ring battles. Moran has been anxious to meet Will

HOW JESS WILLARD AND FRANK MORAN COMPARE.

ENRANK MORAN is a stoclIier
 man than Jess Willard
 The champion is eight inches taller than the challenger; he will weigh fifty pounds more than his foe, and he is regarded as being the better boxer
 Moran is several inches larger around the chest, his arms are bigger, and, according to the rail birds" he hits a harder punch with both hands, Moran will have an asset not to be over looked in the fact that he has been in constant training

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
A Jolly Good Time

When the ladies of Bethel church corner North Seventh street and Osborn road, promise a good time all who know them have come to expect something above the ordinary. for they know how to excel Not content to stop with the very extraordinary Christmas program rendered by the Sunday school last Sunday night, these ladies have arranged for an evening of fun and publication with a distinct surprise for all present. There will be good music and laughs to go round for all who attend this informal affair this evening -Friday-at the church. The big part of the program is yelled in mystery, and there is no need to ask anyone what il is When one of the few who know is asked. a shake of the head is the only response. Everyone in the community who has ever attend ed the church, or who ever has even seen this. one of the largest rural churches in America. is expected to be there. They say that even the pastor will smile.

THE MEAN NElGHBORS

This will be our first Christmas i our present home It is a new neigh borhood and we will find out some thing about the men. We hope they are a sensible set of fellows, and not the kind that are found over on Hurley where we used to live. Last year, one wife in the neighborhood came to our home and showed Martha heavy diamond that her husband had given her for a present. After exhibiting the diamond, she said: What did you get?" TO our surprise Martha said: T haven't gotten mine yet"
 Well. she had gotten it We gave her nice pair of scissors early that morning. A man down town told us that she liked a certain brooch but we had heard her complain about her old scissors. and we thought a new pair would be the very thing. Another wife over there showed her some fox furs. and Martha said 10 her: T told him I didn't want a present. and so he gave me the money. I am going down next week and buy what I want" X third wife called her to look at new car. When she told this one that she handn't received her present. we decided that she must have forgotten about the scissors. so we carried them out where the lady could seq them. Thirty minutes later we went back in the kitchen to get :. few dates. and there Martha was crying. She said she didn't care SD much about getting q present. except that 1t looked as if we were the only man in the world who didn't care anvthing for his wife
 All the other women get nice things. and when they show them to me. they expect me to show them my They get diamonds and furs and cars. while I get scissors. Other men want their wives to get out and have good time. hut you expect me to stay at home and sew. It is nice of you 10 give me a pair of scissors so can make my own clothes. Next Christmas I want you to give me some soap-sorne laundry soap"
 She actually talked that way-said that about the present we had given her. And who was to blame? The other husbands in that neiehborhood. They made our wife dissatisfied with our present We appeal to you. men of our neighborhood, to be reason fire nall tonight and talk over this matter. Let us strive to bring the present and the pocketbook closer to gether We have already bought q present for her. but If any man at the meeting thinks it is too expensive We will take it Lack and get the dollar kind.-Claude Callan in the Fort Worth Stai Telegram.

THE TELLER CALLED ME

Better get mad with the feller called
 Me
 Than with anyone else on earth. He's so blind sometimes that he can
 not see The gifts that were his at birth He stumbles and trifles and goes
 astray Instead of just going on Up the straight and narrow and truthset way To the golden gardens of dawn. Better get wise to the feller called
 Me
 The first thing that you do: It will help so much in the day to be To put what you want to through Study him over and take his size, And prooe him clear down to the
 dceps. And learn by his ears and his nose
 and eyes What bad in his nature sleeps. Better pick quarrels with the feller
 called Me Than with anyone else you know; Ponder him over from a to z. And watch him wherever you go. For every weakness you find and
 cure
 Will be something to set you ahead In the path that is straight and fine
 and sure That your soul is destined to tread. --lHolgcr Mckenzie in the Baltimore Sun

BOOZE FLOWS
 TODAY RAINY
 OR SUNSH|NY

No postponement delay or other miscue will interfere with the sprin- king of the streets with booze today. It makes no difference whether it rains or snows. No elemental or other disturbance will preserve the liquor another day. At eleven o'clock one of the city sprinklers will be backed up in front of the sheriff's office and squad of men who can be trusted to restrain themselves in the presence of intoXicants will be engaged in carrying the liquor from one of the strong rooms to the front where other equally trustworthy men will break the bottles and empty their contents into the sprinkler, which has never before been so defiledr
 It is estimated that the work of loading will take two hours and then the sprinkler will be moved to the street All this will be under the direct charge of Sheriff Adams. But that will not be all of the show. There will be procession of automobiles of indefinite length but long enough to accommodate all the friends of tenn perance who care to participate. Whether the procession will move be- fore or behind the sprinkler has not been announced. But wherever it may be it will probably be headed by a band.
 Il has been said that nothing can interfere with the festivities outlined for today That may not be quite accurate but it is not at all likely that there will be anything. There is, however, a cloud no larger than a mans hand that might spread and 1arken the sky. It would be litigation among the temperance workers, such IS injunctions and mandamuses look ing to the securing of places on the water wagon.
