TOSEEK BIG BOUT
Garden Promoter Offers Moran
and Willard S55,OOO for
Ten=ROund Battle.
SKELLY ALSO IN THE RING

The bidding for the Jess Willard
Frank Moran bout has taken on new
life, but offers for a fight are of no
particular use when one of the con-
tracing battlers has not as yet
signed. Both have agreed to box, but
each IS under contract with different
parties. However, the bidding is in
teresting. and it would not be surpris-
Ing If some unknown cropped up in
few days and offered something like
100000 for a ten-round battle between
this pair of giant ring generals.
Jimmy Johnston, manager of Madi-
son Square Garden, yesterday made
an offer of 900 for the contest,
while Jack Skelly, who lives in Yon-
kers, and who was at one time one of
| the leading featherweight fighters
came through with an offer of So, 600
Skelly Is talking for a syndicate up
Yonkers way, which propose to con-
duct the bout at the Empire City
raeetraek-that is, If they get it.
Following the bids comes the report
from Kansas CITY, Mo-, where Jess

meet Moran at all. and that another
heavyweight might take his place.
This report is good news locally, as
Charley Weinert, the local heavy
weight. is being considered by not a
few as Wizards next opponent. It is
said on good authority that either
Welnert or Fred Fulton would be
given an opportunity to meet Willard
If Moran didn't sign soon.
Willard, accompanied by his man
ager, Tom Jones, left Kansas City for
Chicago yesterday with the intention
of concluding arrangements for a
championship bout i'll the spring, and
perhaps another fight later in the
summer. Willard and Jones will meet
Jack Curley in the Windy City.
I'm ready to meet anybody they
bring on" Willard said before he LEFT
Kansas City. Il want at least one
fight before | begin my engagement

ston last night, "and | have offered
Moran $40 900, win. lose or draw. Now.
these fellows have been ranting
around. claiming that they are willing
to accept the best bid for the fight,
Here 1t is. Nobody has even ap-
preached S55, 900 outside of yours

When Johnston was reminded OF
Jack Curley's declaration that he
tCurley) would do the promoting of
the fight himself, Jimmy replied:
Sure. I know all about that. but
then Jack will surely listen to all rea-
sonable offers. And my offer is-Weli
it's positively exorbitant.'
Nevertheless, Curley reiterated thai
he would do his own promoting

offer.
"These fellows are safe in Offering
