 The second time Johnson caught him on the jaw with a hard, swing fne IeG.. knocked Willard over to one side and as his head bobbed down. swung fearful uppercut and hit him squarely on the point of the chin from the other side knocking him back. And as John son was motionless for a fraction of second in the natural eXpecta- ton that Willard would drop, Will lard swept back with a hard right in Johnson's body
 He had taken Johnson's heaviest punches. perfectly delivered, and had struck back He was unshaken. The blows had only angered him. Right there Johnson backed away with the first suggestion of dis eouragement in his face-the first fear of coming defeat.
 Frank Moran didn't hit Coffey blow that was as hard as any of ...s. t.ras Jalusnu landed cn Willard And Willard took John sons heaviest punches without showing distress or any emotion eX-
 .-t-.iIr.. fIs1 k and give punch for punch.
 Willard is a better offensive boxer than Moran because he is rangier. ,traiehter and a harder hitter. He has 2 better hand. He delivers a long left lead with twisting fin ish that reminds one of the old Mccoy "corkscrew. He is quick as a flash with that left His hit ,:.. vt.a t-r right is like Molan's. straight ana hard He drives in with body punches in the same way and hits straight to the jaw in the same way He has an ad- vantage in greater reach.
 As a defensive fighter Willard is much superior to the smaller man Where Moran does little blocking and fights with his hands low, much of the time, dependirg upon his powers of resistance, Willard, who can take punch fully as we'll doesn't have to take them. He uses his great height to lean Lack out of range. pulling away and making his opponent miss punc hes directed at his jaw. He is an adept at skipping blows aside He invariably covers his jaw whi5e leading with the other hand In his fast. straight left-hand punch he has good defense against body blows.
 | remember one afternoon in IIa- vana when Jim Savage was trying to slip in an unexpected right-hand body punch-one of Jim's best spe- cialties As Savage plunged Will lard shot out a left and hit him on the jaw so hard that he knocked Savage over and the ropes snapped his head back so suddenly that Jim's right shoulder was nearly dislocated.
 If Moran and Willard were equal in skill and courage and hitting and resisting powers, Willard's size would make the bout very much like a fight between a first-call featherweight and first-class mid de weight The weight proportions in this comparison are almost e&- actly alike: Willard, 245 pounds; Moran, 196 pounds; middleWe!ght, 158 pounds; featherweisht, 122 pounds.

COMING BATTLE IS

By Bob, II EdEren

By Bobsrt EdEren
 NEW YORK. Jan. I5.-The center Of interest in the heavyweight class just now ls the 1oround match be tween Jess Willard and Frank Mo ran. planned to take place at New York March IT
 There isn't a doubt in the world that Moran is the man to fight Willard He's the only man
 Tlere are two or three gentle men of the ring who have some slight claim upon Moran, but hes in t,l~ happy position where he can overlook slight claims. Years ago Jim Savage gave him bad beat irg and stopped him in seven rounds Bu, Frank can point out the fact that since then he has gone higher than Savage and al though Jim is fighting well there will be no public demand that Mo ran wipe out the blot on his es- cutcheOn."
 Also there is the case of Gun tGat Smith. who beat Moran in 20 rounds in San Francis O. Moran las done great things since then He has just knocked cut the man who has just knocked out the Gun ner. 90 the Gunner's claim upon Moran's recognition. automatically ceases There is no reason now why he should fight either Sayage or Smith, unless it happens that he's so full Of confidence in his powers that "business7 wouldn't interfere in the slightest degree in natural d. ira t1 wipe the old slate clean.
 Moran Much Improved,
 Moran has developed into a much better fighter than he was when he met Savage and Smith. Natur- ally intplligent, he has studied the are of fighting. and within the linn it's of his physique has nearly perfected it For man feet tall and weighing 196 pounds when in perfect condition, he's the best in his class.
 There is much to admire in Mo ran's style of fighting. He's per fectly cool and confident when in the ring. He is an excellent ring general He has no set rule and can charge his pace and his action to fit the emergency of the mo- ment He knows when to rest and when to fight. And hes the pos sessor of a deadly punch whon the time comes to deliver if.
 In Willard however, Moran will meet man a half foot taller with much greater raa h, out weighing him 50 pounds or more when in condition and fully his equal as ring general and as a boxer
 Watching the fight between Will lard and Johnson in Havana I was impressed with W'illard's absolute coolness and the perfect balance of his defense and offense, There was never moment in the 26 rounds when he left an opening through carelessness. When stung hard he struck back quick as flash, yet didn't expose himself in doing it.
 He never stepped back from Johnson's rushes but blocked or avoided nearly all of his most dan gerous blows.
 There were only two moments in the fight when Willard seemed to be in dangrr. Once Johnson, after working for an opening for a minute or two, slipped aside and sunk terrific left hook into the pit of Willard's stomach WillardS face was drawn up in a grimace of

ASKS FOR CHANCE

MENTIONED here today by Jacob G..
GrossberG OF Chi ago 10 0rfic~ ne ele-
r-ated re- roads to remove the Van
Buren, street arm of the loop in Chi
cago from Fifth avenue to Wabash
avenue.
During the rush hours-the peak Of
the transportation load in Chicago
the capacity of the loop for the con-
tinuous passage of trains is overtaxed,
according to Mr.. Grossberg, who says
he has been a citizen of the state and
d resident of Chicago for many years
But for the loop, his petition adds.
the natural tendency of the central
business portion of Chicago would be
to spread in a general southwark di-
rection from Van Buren, street.
Mr.. Grossberg would have north and
south side trains operated continuous
ly over the Wabash avenue and Lake
street arms of the loop. West side
trains, he says, should be brought into
the city at Van Buren, street, traverse
the west side of the Fifth avenue arm
of the loop and leave the Lake street
elevated tracks.
The crossoyers at the intersection OF
West Van Buren, street and south
Fifth avenue and at West Lake street
and North Fifth avenue are wholly I'M
necessary and a nuisance, according
to Mr., Grossberg.
The commission will give Mr. Gross
berg's petition an early hearing.

government and that their demands
will be couched in such fashion as to
prevent any trickery on the part OF

THE WAR TODAY

There are no signs Of cessa-
ton of the powerful Russian offen-
sive in Y0ihynia-Galicia and kukO-
wilma. The latest Austrian official
statement tells of Russian
check here and there, notably the
defeat OF a cavalry force south OF
the Dniester in Galicia and the
stopping of Russian EFFORTS across
the StOckhod and Styr in Vol
hynia. The Russians, however,
are remaining on the aggressive,
attacking all along the NOlhynian
front and pressing hard against
the Austrian lines further south.
The capture of approximately
10000 men by the Russians since
the inception of the offensive is
claimed by Petrograd which de-
cIares that steady advances are
being scored against the Aus
trian armies.
French positions in the Dead
Mans Hill sector, northwest of YER
dun, are again the object of Ger
man attacks, the big guns OF the
crown prince violently Smelling
the French trenches. The only
infantry movements that develop
ed, however. were hand grenade
attack slightly west OF the hill,
which the French repulsed and
similar attack on the Ay0rcOurt
rpdGubt. TO the southwest, which
also failed.
There is still pronounced activ-
ity on the Trentino front where
the Austrians and Italians are at
grips, but no advances OF cOnSe-
quence, on either side is claimed
in the latest reports.
The British destroyer Eden
sank as the result OF collision
in the English channel. Three Of
ficers are missing.
The Russians continue to beat
back the AustrianS and 10 capture
prisoners at the rate OF more than
10000 a day, 10000 TeutOnic al
lies having been taken in the last
IL days, besides vast quantities OF
guns and munitions. Attempts OF
the Austrians and Germans TO
take the offensive at many points
along the entire front have been
repuIsed, according TO PetrOgrad.
The armies around Verdun are
inactive again, only intermittent
bOmbardments having occurred for
practically two days. The French
claim 10 have captured German
trenches on front of about two
thirds OF mile in the vicinity OF
lie Mort HOmme-
The British claim fresh sue
cesSes over the Turks in MesOpO-
tamia and also over the Germans
in German last Africa.
Fighting on the Italian front is
almost at standstili.
