Especial interest attaches to the contests
for fair natators, because the Palama ofYi-
cials are confident of securing the entry Of
Miss Fannie Durack of Australia holder
of most of the worlds swimming records
for women and admittedly the fastest ALL
around mermaid ever developed. Her pres
ence at the meet will give the home girls the
first opportunity to test their skill against
that OF the Australian. and keen racing
should result at the shorter distances, for
the American girls have done fifty yards in
as good time as their great rival and Miss
Dorfner has also turned 100 yards within
an ace of the Australians best mark. The
date of the meet is still to be decided upon,
but it will be held either on June III or

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS S

BY LOUIS H. JAFFE

TNRANK MORAN is to be the next heavy
Il weight champion Furthermore. he won't
have to fight for the title Whether this Is
a fact or fb. so we get it in an uncon-
firmed report. Jess Willard (Himself in the
Flesh) so advertised for his appearance
with q circus here next week, is to retire.
and Jesse is to make Moran a present of
the championship. If this is true, Willard
will give the boxing public a merry ha ha.
Doubts are held as to the right of the
champion to dictate as to his successor.
When Willard declines further to defeno
the title he should lose all control over the
championship, and the houorS should DC
open to general competition. In any event
a championship has never been passed along
as a gift from the holder to warm friend,
and If Willard succeeds in doing so 1t VIII
be an epoch in pugilism. Jim Jefferles once
tried to hand over his title to Marvin Hart
but the fans gave James j. so hearty
laugh that Jeff pulled back his gift The
reason for willard's about retirement, 1t is
said is because he doubts his ability again
to get into condition for bout.
