Frank Moran seems to be one of those persons with more pugilistic lives than a cat. Down and out several times in the past few years. the lion-hearted Pitts burg blonde has risen again to great pu- gilistic heights.
 Moran's career is one of the strangest in ringdoms annals He's warrior who, in ring science, knows less than
 the average novice. He is almost ut- terly unschooled in the art of defense, and in no battle has he ever shown abil- ity to hit straight. He's "roundhouse haymaker' swinger.
 Yet Moran got two cracks at the heavy weight title, the only fighter since Jim Jeffries' day. He received the biggest sum of money ever paid to a challenger. and in one year earned more money than men like Bob Fitzsimmons, Charlie Mitchell, Tom Sharkey and the others garnered in their pugilistic ifetimes.
 And now, four full years after he was considered all through, he's back again
 and commanding international respect. And this comeback, mind you. follows
 two similar attempts that were failures.
 Moran started fighting in 1910 when he was g years old. Through that year,
 and also 19i;, he battled with only fair
 success. He mingled in five fights in lJlo. W nen ne kHOcheu out Al IdlZeT III seven rounds he gained considerable rec osnition but not many purse offers So. at last. he sailed for Europe figuring he could pick up few battles and some fa r-sized purses there.
 ACCEPTS CHALLENGE Jack Johnson was lettering in Paris at the time and when Moran challenged Jack agreed to fight him. The affair took place June 27, 1914 Johnson winning the decision in 20 rounds. But Moran hasn't received dollar for that fight. His money was tied up by injunction pr ocess on fight night by a man who claimed Moran owed him fairly szeable sum for publicity work. Before the mat ter could be adjusted in the French courts. the war broke out, and all cases pending in court then were held over for duration of war. An effort to get the suit settled was the primary cause of Morans recent visit to France
 When Moran returned to America In 1915 he secured a match with Jim Coffey through the efforts of Ike Dorgan, who undertook the job of managing him Mo ran declared at the time that the total money he had earned in forty-two bat ties had netted him less than s1o,Oo0 Moran knocked out Coffey. The result was to the amazement of the fight fanA who thought Jim was a sure thing Ana Moran, fighting on a percentage basis received nearly 5000 for his work He was as much amazed by that sum of
 money as the crowd was by his victory.

KID ELBERFELD AGAIN

Unless President John D. Martin takes some drastic action to curb the frequent outbursts of Kid Elberfeld, baseball fans of the games in which the Little Rock Club is engaged. For no other reason except to display his wrath, he tossed a perfectly good ball game yesterday to the Pelicans And, while our fans wei come all Peicans' victories they can not conscientiously accept them unless they are won either by skill or turn ot Fate
 Another thing, baseball fans pay to see a club render it's best efforts on a ball field, and in yesterdays instance, the Little Rock Club could hardly be cred tied with trying to win.
 Because umpire errs in ,ecision is no reason why Kid Fiber field should unsportsmanly distort hls team and thereby subject the New Or leans Baseball Association to possible loss of patronage.
 If Kid .Elberfeld and President Bob Allen of the Little Rock Club cannot gracefully accept bad decision as ma,4J other club managers do, it's time the Little Roc.I franchise be withdrawn and give way to interests who understand the meaning of real sportsmanship
 President Martin should give yesteT- days incident a thorough "airing.'N II Kid Elberfeld and President Allen feel they cannot consistently keep the sport on the plane originally intended. the n President Martin should not hesitate to carry meeting of the league directors to give the Little Rock interests chance to explain the reason.-Sporting Editor, New Orleans Times.

THE CASEY SMITH CASE

Dispatches from New Orleans last night indicate that Casey Smith is still tagging along with Kid E.iberfeld' $ Little Rock outfit. and II begins to look as if the moguls of the Southern League would have to send down. a regiment or two of troops to force tte Redskin to surrender his meal ticket with the Kiddery. As we understand the situation, this is travelling n direct opposition to President Martins de- cision some weeks ago, and ii nigh. he that Kid Elberfeld will be forced to separate himself from a few hundred more hard-earned dollars unless he makes some satisfactory explanation of his reason in keeping Smith in d Little Rock uniform.
 The dispatches further state that Tom Seaton is not with the Kid. and his whereabouts seem to be a bit un- known. Elberfeld never tires, it ap- pears. of paying out his money for yio-

 But Moran couldn't resist the lure of the

Barney Barnhart led in the work of humiliating Cunningham. Twice, with men on bases, did Barney drive a ter rife two base hit to center field. Mor- rison and Bernsen had a lot to do with the driving in of runs yesterday also
 The Lookouts started off like they intended to duplicate their feat of Fri day, for they scored two runs in the first inning. Gleason was safe at first on Stevenson's error, but later was forced at second by Dudley. Halt dou- bled viciously to right sending Dudley to third. Bratchi singled cleanly to left field and both runners scored, bringing in the only Lookout runs of the day. Stevenson made his second bobble of the inning on Johnsc- s grounder. However, Bernsen made two difficult stops of the next two mems grounders and retired the side unas- sisted.

BARONS TIE UP COUNT
 AFTER CHATTIES GET LEAD

The score was tied by the Barons in the next two innings. In the first Stewart was walked but was forced out by Stevenson. Barnhart flied out to center field, but Bernsen singled to center, scoring Stevenson, who had stolen second base. Ellis flied out to left field.
 In the second frame Griffith and Hairston made things look hopeless by going out on a fly and grounder, re- spectively. Gooch singled and romped home when John Morrison doubled to left field, catching Bratchi asleep. The Lookout boy couldn't understand why pitcher should be knocking two- bag gers, and he didn't make any effort to catch Gooch at the plate until it was too late. Stewart popped up.
 No Lookout runner got as far as third base after the first inning
 By some twist of fate Cunningham lived through the third inning in rath- CT good style and the locals failed to score, although Gone got on base. In the fourth, however, the ax fell heavily and any hopes of a victory entertained by Mt. Cunningham were speedily killed in their youth The Barons scored four runs, breaking the and ? tie.
 Griffith singled to start the inning, went to second when Shay failed to handle his drive properly, was sacri- ficed to third by Hairston, and rode home on Gooch's drive to right. Morri- son walked. Stewart forced Gooch at third. Stevenson walked, filling the bags. Along came MT. Barnhart, who caught the first ball pitched on the end of his bat and sent it screaming for the centerfield wall. The ball hit within a foot of the top, wabbled around a bit and finally dropped on the inside of the fence, and Barney was forced to pull up on second, but not until after all three base runners had scored. Barney was caught trying to steal third base.
 The fifth inning passed breathlesly for Cunningham, but no Baron runners scored In fact, there were no Baron runners, three locals coming up and three locals as hastily going back to

Hairston singled and took third when Shay, playing at first base, messed up Halts throw Of Gooch intended sacrifice. Morrison came across with another hit and Hairston scored Gooch taking second. Stewart also singled and Gooch scored Morri- Son was cauhgt off second, taking too wide lead, and one was down. Steven son flied out to Bratchi two gone. Barn. hart sent another drive within two inches of his first two-bagger, and again he pulled up on second, with Stewart scoring. Bernsen grounded out
 Stewart doubled in the eighth inning, but two men were down, and 1t was too late to put across another tally
 Three fast double plays by the Barons helped subdue the alreday humble and meek Lookouts.
 Demoe was spiked in the fourth inning when Barnhart slid into him in the at tempt to steal third. The midget Look out was forced to retire from the game and a general shaking up of Strang NUicklin's lineup resulted. Halt took third base, Shay came in from center
