Moran Is PuuiEstiC Idol There.
Jack MUNROE, a credit 10 the
boxing profession II any one man
v could be so considered, is back
from England singing the praises of
our old friend Frank Moran. Fifteen
Years ago Munroe ranked high as a
heavyweight boxer and fought, among
other good men Of his time, such as
lenries, Tom sparkey and Jack John
son. He has never lost interest in the
fight game. although he has long
since followed other more userul pur-
suits. He says the comeback" Of
Moran was an agreeable surprise to
him and astonishing to the British
night fans when he "bested" their
heavyweight idol, Joe Beckett, so
easily in London recently Munroe
added that Moran had since been
anxious 10 arrange a match with
Georges Carpenter, but that the
Frenchman had refused 10 give a bout
with Frank the slightest considera-
ton. Just now. according to Jack,
Moran can have pretty nearly any
thing the British sporting men can
give him, for he has COME back won
derfully
Munroe on his arrival here was
temporarily detained by the immigra-
ton authorities. In his hurry leaving
England he neglected to have his
passports vised by the American
Consul In London, and this necessi-
tated his being sent to Ellis Island to
await action by the state Department

When the war started Munroe left
his profitable mining business and en-

der at Armentieres in September,
1914, lost the use OF his ance trusty
right arm. After a solid year in hos
aitals Jack came home TO America
and wrote thrilling book OF the
world conflict, making his faithful
dog, with him during tho thickest OF
the lighting, tell the story.
