But Looks Good
Mike Moran, the petit Pittsburgh
punCher who IS going TO make Phila-
delphia his home during the present
season. made his bow here on saturday
night, and he delivered the goods, even
thnuab he was shaded in corking good
contest with Jack Perry at the National
Sporting Club.
While Moran lost by the narrowest
Of margins. he won lot OF friends with
his aggressive, rugged and hard-punch-
ing style. 1t was the superior knowl-
edge Of fst!cufing and rally III the
last two rounds that decided the bout
in Pcrry's favor.
Unlike most little boxers. Moran,
who tipped the beam at 120 pounds, Is
almost entirely body puncher. He
wAangcd away at Perry's stomach with
both hunds-from the distance as we'll

almost from bell to bell, and he made
quite an i'm preston. -,

margin from Al Moore and Bobby Robi-
dcalI drew with Lew Stingcr. Joe
Brown and Kid BeeSe gave an eccen-
