New Il, York, March 2i-The! day broke

at the McAlpfn this morning; bat when
Ifgot down to: the. first floor it was still
raining like Il was yesterday. The
elevator boy said We ran into the ele,
ments about halfway down, SO you
see / am sleeping high these nights.
If you are figuring on placing any
money on the fight, take your roll to
the bank and start a, Christmas savinS
fund. After, preambulating among the
tistic elite i am moved, like the famous
parlamatlcian was once moved. to ex'

"Mr. Highkafuttin, smell rat, ]

shall nip him in the bud" If you
transcribe me correctly you will insure
your nose against the ignomy Of push.
ing a peanut round the court house
after the fight is over by assuming
the weli.known Democratic attitude OF
Watchful Waiting in re the fight to,
morrow night. There are times when
Mr.. Wilson's policy tickles my fawncy,
SO to speak, and these is one of THOSE
times. So uncertain'is the situation
that won't even risk my expense mo-
ney on the issue, and ] have no pre-.
conference OF scruples in regard to ex,
pense accounts which you sign.
After broke my fast this morning
II started out to diagnose the fight case
and following the primitive methods
OF the Dr.'s, I felt pulses all around.
Pulses were strong, but uncertain,
tending to complications. Following
are my deductions:
Moran's greatest chance for victory
lies in the fact that he has no chance
at all; Wizards only chance for de-
feat lies in the fact that he can't lose.
The fight will go 10 rounds, unless
one or the other Of the gladiators, in
an unguarded moment, gets the point
OF his chin intermingled with the 9th.
er fellows K. o. and takes the count.
In such event, the more fortunate Of
the two will be declared to have made
the course in loss than DOGGY, as am
told that they remark in golluf cir.
Giles.
There are bunch of be.fogged Pitts
burghers here who can't see anything
but Moran. They must not be taken
too seriously, however, as Moran called
Pittsburgh his home until he got Q
reputation, Bury this paragraph way
down the story, please, as these Pitts
burgherss are not bad guys, for they
gave mo a bunch of Big Marshes,
which were very acceptable. They
don't mean to be nutty-it is just q,
case Of their enthusiasm having kid.
mapped their brains for a short time.
Willard and Moran are on a par in
respect to courage, but in every. other
respect Willard has the bulge. Physi-
cally and psychologically Willard has
ALREADY whipped Moran, but owing to
the fact that it is the uncertainties Of
life that make life soVery uncertain,
the fight will be staged as per SEIZED:

Grant Rice tells me he has learned
by trailing around with the Giants In
July and August thatAwhen the sum.
mer sky gets too blue in the morning
or about noon, he figures on playing
chess with Matty that afternoon and
watching doubleheader the next day.
He would bet his last cent on VIII.
lard, only Wizards sky is too burned
blue just now. And Grant speaks for
the whole crew.
