Jew YORK, March Eight fans
M are stiu chewing" over the
Il heavyweight battle in Madison
Square Garden on Saturday night, when
heavyweight champion Jess willard
outpointed and outgeneraled Frank Mo-
ran. looked upon as the foremost con-
tender for the heavyweight crown, il
10 round no decision bout.
Willard won. There's no dispute on
that point He used his left like q
skilled lightweight and peclzed away at
Moran's face almost at will But his
punches lacked weight and while he
brought blood to Morau's face. cut his
lip and opened an old cut over the lett
eye, the smashes Of the champion did
not have the effect of stopping the ag-
Eressive work Of the challenger.
Moran the AEEressOr.
For Moran was the aggressOr in all
but one round. in the seventh, willard
went after his opponent like wild
man. He had Moran backing at the
end OF the sixth round and evidently
was after a knockout in the seventh,
But he either didn't have the power be-
hind his punches or couldn't land Just
what he wanted
willard WeIEhed 259 IL.
While willard was not hog fat he
packed too much weight to be at his
best The official Weighing showed
him 10 tip the beam at 259 II pounds,
while Moran entered The ring at
POI IL pounds. Physically, Willard ap-
peared TO be in good condition while
Moran showed the effects Of his hard
training. The postponement Of the
fight from March II to Saturday night
gave the challenger a bit more train
ing than he needed and he was a bit
drawn and surly. while Willard was
perfectly at ease and was smiling
throughout the bout.
Wizards Left Improved.
Willard used his left Jab with great
success. He showed wonderful improve
ment with this hand since his fight
with johnson He stated after the
bout that he had broken a small bone
in his right hand in the third round,
but his work did not show this in the
succeeding rounds Dr. Lewis motifs,
who attended the champion after the
bout SAID that Willard had suffered
a slight fracture Of the joint Of the in
lex finger of his right hand Tt was
not at all serious.
The champion started off strong and
apDarentIy outclassed his opponent in
the first two rounds. Moran came back
strong in the third and took the YER
dict on points, but after that IL was all
Willard until near the end of the sew
enth. the only round in which Willard
was the agEressor. He appeared tired
after Moran backed him 70 the ropes
and put two Furnishing blows to the
body and three 10 the head
Moran Gets Better.
Moran began TO get real good from
that time and was ION top Of the
champion during the remaining two
rounds, but Wizards long reach ena-
blcd him TO stand the challenger off
with his right while he pecked at him
with his left In the ninth, the battle
was hard. Moran stood toe to toe with
the champion and traded blow for blow.
But Wizards iabbing again gave him
"a slight advantage
Wuran's BEST Work i'm Eighth.
MOran's best work was in the eighth
round though the verdict there went to
Willard. The challenger started the
round by landing a smashing right to
the face and then followed this up by
putting both hands to the body. An

WILLARD won, all right, and
w we'll have to admit that he's
better than his previous fights indi-
Gated. He was too big, too fast and
too clover for the aggressive Moran
in a short fight but the telegraphic
accounts Of Saturday nights bout in
New York do not tend to the belief
that Willard would be as good in a
long fight as he was for ten rounds.
The Associated Press report says
"Willard appeared winded as he went
to his corner" in the eighth round.
MORAN bled considerable from
IVA Wizards jabs after the seventh
round in Saturday nights fights but
the ''terrific" punch of the cham
pion appears to be considerable of a
fable Had Moran, with a shorter
reach and less weight, been able to
land on Willard as frequently as
Willard landed on Moran there might
have been a different tale to tell.
In a long fight, the writer would
still incline to Moran.
