WILLARD HAS GREAT
 POWER IN PUNCH
His Straight Right Hander Won for Him the Title Heavyweight Title.

Sporting men already are discussing the ten round, no decision glove fight in which Champion Jess Willard and Frank Moran will clash for a purse of $70,000. While many different views are expressed by men who follow the fortunes of the prize ring so closely that they usually know what they are talking about, the general opinion seems to be that Willard cannot be knocked out, no matter how Strenu- ously Moran may try to hang a sleep waliop on the point of his jaw, says Joe Villa, the New York Evening Sun man. But whether Willard will make a genuine effort to floor Moran for the fatal count is a question that the wise men are not attempting to answer.
 There is no doubt that Willard can hit with great power, particularly with the right hand. He has a tre- mendous reach, and when he lets fly either hand he can put nearly 25O pounds into the punch. Willard land ed a straight right handler over Jack Johnson's heart in the 18th round of the big scrap in Cuba last year. This blow had so much strength behind it that the negro champion almost col lapSed. Yet Willard, slow and cau- tious, did not try this wallop again until the 18th round, when he knock ed LiP Arthur cold.
 Equipped with remarkable punch ing ability Willard in the opinion of IIldhy GOIIpSlGHl SluuSnlS O1 puSlllSI11 probably would send Moran into Dreamland the first time he happened to reach the button" - another name for the point of the jaw. But in ac- complaining such a feat, Willard would be compelled to open up his de- fence, thereby running the risk of re- ceiving damaging punch in re- turn
 Moran may be clumsy and lacking in boxing skill, but he can hit with the right hand hard enough to drop or daZe even the champion providing he reaches the proper mark. The fact that Moran is dangerous so long as he can retain sufficient strength to swing his right from the ground would seem to indicate much caution on Willard's part a defensive fight by the champion. who cannot lose the worlds championship title unless Nor an scores a knockout or wins on a foul
 Going back to Morans 20 round fight with Jack Johnson in France nearly two years ago it must be re- memebred that Johnson, in just fai1 condition, never was in trouble, ex- cept from his own exertions. Moran was outclasSed in boxing to such a degree that if Johnson had been able to punch with his old vigor the white man would not have stayed the linn it. It is conceded that Johnson was in about the same shape, physically when he fought Willard in Cuba; vel the negro, after putting up a brave fight for 15 rounds, discovered thai Willard, unhurt and wonderfully strong, was invincible.
 So far sporting men have no req son to believe that Willard and Nor an will have an understanding wher they enter the ring-an agreement tc box for ten rounds without trying fol knockout and to make such an even thing of it that another mill, say al 20 rounds at New Orleans, would be extremely profitable.
