never been equaled or approached In a
bout limited to ten round.
Although Rlckard atarted by bidding
$40,009 for the match he wna finally
forced to ralae the total to 171,280 In or

which continued for aome daye. Of Wi

The aupply ei, box and ringside seat
waa soon exhausted and a week ago
there were no $10 or flE seats for sale x
cept by speculators. Even th' IS and
j reservations, which were held untU
the last few days, were quickly sold
out and tonight speculators who have
secured scattered aeata about the arena
are reaping a harvest. So great haa been
the demand that some, day ago Rick

cost of which was $160. Putty M per cent
' of the sale has been to out-of-town box
Ing enthusiast and large delegation are
arriving In thl city tonight from Chi
cago. Poston, Philadelphia. Washington,
rttaburgh and other points even fur
ther aouth and west. .
Local Interest In the bout Is. however,
extremely keen, aa both Wlllard and
Moran have been training here for sev
eral wees and It la expected that there
will be thousands of fight fana In and
about Madison Square tomorrow night to
await the outcome of the battle. The po
lice authorities have made special ar
rangementa to handle the throng that
wll gather Inside and outside the Oar
den, large forces of reserves being or
dered on duty for th occasion.
Odds Om the l-fcaaaa I
Th greatest dlveraton of opinion pie
vails regarding the outcome of the bout
Wlllard Is a a to 1 favorite, with very
few large wagera In sight, although In
numerable email beta have been mud
between friends at odda which rang
. from I to 1 to J to 1. with Wlllard the
favorite in all eases. These odds are not
baaed so much upon th record of th
two principal aeon th champion' great
physical advantage over Moran. Wll
lard will outweigh hi opponent close to
fifty pounds and will tower five Inches
above Moran when they meet In the ring.
In reach he will have an advantage of
about six Inches.
Close follower of the tw pugilists do
not expect to see a clever boxing exhibi
tion, alnco both men are more noted for
their hitting ability than skill in the
science of leading and blocking. While
Moran la expected to be the more aggres
sive of the two. It Is thought Wllisrd's
great reach and height will make It dif
ficult for th Plltsburgher to land a blow
that might lead to a knockout. Wlllard.
on the other hand, has never shown a
dlspoaltlon to force the fighting in the
early rounds of bis contests or to use his
great strength with viclousness unless
badly stung by his opponent's Wows.
During bis preparatory work. Moran
baa been practicing with hia left hand
and haa announced with a degree of con
ftdenoa that he will surprise msny who
think thst he Is only a right-handed
fighter. Wlllard' great advantage In
reach will be a considerable handicap
for Moran to offset, and, according to
those who have carefully watched both
men during their course of training, the
champion ought to do a lot of damage
with his long left Jab and hia wonder
fully clever right uppercut. the greatest
blow that the Kanaan haa developed.
Doubt haa Ijycn expr-'-ed In some qua r
tera as to whether Wlllard Is actually
risking hia heavyweight championship In
the bout with Moran. owing to the fact
that the New York atate boxing law
lioHts all bouts to ten rounds and bara
a decision by the referee. Theoretically
at least. It la considered that the title Is
at stake, and the best Informed ring ex
perl agree that It Is possible for Moran
to wis the till during the battle In sev
eral wsrs.
A clean knockout of Wlllard by Moran
UP FATHER

Botn Willard and
They Will
NEW YOIIK, Msrrh 24.-The statements
of the principals, promoters and referee
of the big fight are a follow:
Wlllard: "I hav not figured out any
particular line of battl. for I have never
seen Moran in action and cannot tell
Just what he will do. It may take me
several rounds to size him up, but one
I know what he haa fc-otl shall be In a
position to go ahead and box for his
weakest point. I haven't the slightest
Idea whether It will be a fast or a alow
bout Much depends t port what Moran
doe. If me he meet m half way, the
bout ought to aatlsfy every spectator In
the garden,-for It wilt be fast and full of
action from start to finish. If he will
stand up and box blew for blow, I will
win decisively.
'T am perfectly satisfied with my con
dition and can go th full ten round at
top speed If necessary. I am Just as fine
a I was In Havana nd feel more like
boxing, a th heavy, damp air In Cuba
took some of the en.n out of me there.
There haa been talk about the also of
the ring, but I have never Inquired about
It. I am told that It will measure about
eighteen feet Inside th ropes, which Is
plenty btg enough for me. I am not go
ing to do any backward running and
ran box Just aa well In a small or large
ring. All last summor I boxed three
round twice a day In twelve-foqt ring,
the tour lasting 1M day without a break.
I can step across an eighteen-foot ling
In two strides, so I guess that I can
catch Moran In case atsrts backing
away."
Moran: "I have no misgiving aa to
th outoom of my bout with Wlllard. I
am positive that' I will win decisively
and carry th world' heavyweight till
out of th ring with me. At no previous
tag of my life hav 1 been In such fin
physical condition nor hav I ever felt
mora confident of defeating an opponent.
Wlllard I a bigger man than I am phys
ically, but In no other way haa he any
advantage. When I met Johnson In Paris
In 1914 th then champion1 waa In tntch
would cause th championship to pas
as would the disqualifying of Wlllard
by the referee aa th result of a foul
blow administered during th contest. If
the referee should stop the bout because
he wss of th opinion that Wlllard waa
unabi to continue, Moran would b
automatically declared th winner and
thu become th title holder. Should both
boxer be on their feet at the end of th
ten rounds no official decision can be
rendered and th winner on point then
becomes a matter of opinion among those
about the ringside.
It Is owing to these possibilities that
Charley . White, the veteran referee and
arbiter of many championship bouts, haa
been selected to act a third man In the
ring. Whit' record cover many year
of officiating in all part of th country
when championship fights In all classes
were of common occurrence. II haa
acted In thl capacity at many of th
moat prominent contests in which title
passed, and la conceded to be one of
tha most expert, Judges of boxing In th
game today.

HOW J0HNS0NWAS FOUND
Hera ii Real Story of Way Great
Washington Pitcher Broke Into
the American League.
DISCOVERED BY A MERE FAN
Th real tory of how 'th Washing
ton club obtained Walter Johnson, recog
nised a th greatest pitcher in the game
today, ha never really been told. Cliff
BlankanshlD discovered him - out at
Welser, Idaho, after watching him pitch.
Another story was ta th effect that Joe
Cantlllon had a friend who tipped him
off. but during th recent American
league meeting In Nw York President
Ben Minor related th true facta of the
coming of Walter Johnson to th Wash
ington club In 1907. Mr. Minor had a
friend who waa Interested In mine In
the west. H la a natlv Waahlngtonlan,
but waa living In New York. Hia name
I John McCoy. H mad frequent trip
to Idaho, where he had Interests and
one day aaw Walter Johnson pitching
for that team. ' He wa Impressed with
the youngster and stopping off at Wash
ington en route east he dropped In to see
Mr. Minor and told him of Johnaon. Men
In base ball always get a lot of tips on
phenoms. and Mr. Minor of tha Washing
ton club did not give Walter Johnson ser
ious thought at th ttm. In a month or
ao McCoy again stopped off in Washing
ton and brought clippings showing that
Johnaon had struck out twenty-two men
at Wslser.' This, of course Interested
Minor, who took the clippings and
handed them to Joe Cantlllon. then man
ager of the team. Joe. naturally, .waa
amused at the record, and he figured that
aome time he would take It up with some
one and have the boy looked over. There
the matter atood for several weeks, when
McCoy again dropped In on Minor and
asked If anything had been done about
getting Johnson. He waa told that there
had not and then he said: "Ixok here,
Hen, John I. Tavlor of the Hoston club
Is a pretty good friend of mine and unless
you get this kid risht away 1 will tell
him to send out for him." There and then
Minor got Into communication with Can
tlllon, Blankenshlp hsd hurt his finger
and could not play, so Minor insisted
that he be sent to Wriser and bring
Johnson to Washington, whet he could
be looked over. Within about ten days
Blsuketishlp returned with Johnson. To
show that Johnson wss a wise business
man, even at that time, he Insisted on
being guaranteed transportation back to
his home in California If he old not make
good. He proxed he hid the making of
a great pitcher even then and when the
season was over he called attention to
the transportation, mektns the point
that If the club waa willing to pay it in
th event he had failed is surely should
be willing to do so seeing that It had
decided to keep him, and he carried his
point.

MONEY INYOLYED
FEATURES BATTLE
i
Fact that Heavyweight Title is at
Stake ii Forced Into the
Background.
A GREAT FINANCIAL PROJECT
NEW YORK. March 24. Surrounded by
the most representative assemblage that
ever witnessed a pugilistic encounter In
this country, Jess Wlllard and Frank
Moran will meet here tomorrow night
In a ten-round encounter of extraor
dinary possibilities.
While the heavyweight championship
of the world, now held by Wlllard, Is
virtually at stake, this feature of th
conteat I forced Into the background to
some txtent by the large amount of
money invllved In the purse and gate re
ceipts and the typea of spectators, who
will attend.
According to the prediction of the
Moran contingent, there I more than an
even chance that the heavyweight title
will change handa before the tenth
round Is completed, hut th promotera
of the bout have not billed It aa a bat
tle for th championship and Wlllard
simply smile when th possibility of
his losing th title la mentioned within
his hearinga.
Canaot Give Decision.
Under th New York state boxing law
no decision can b rendered by Referee
Charley White, and th only way that
Moran could win th title would be by
knocking out his opponent, winning on
a tol committed by Wlllard, or to hav
the contest stopped by th referee be
cause the champion was unable to' con
tinue for any reason.
In many quarters th probability of
an on of the contingencies arising la
considered to be remote, but among th
admirer of Moran it tg accepted aa a
foregone conclusion that the Pittsburgh
heavyweight will put the conqueror of
Johnson for the full count' While con
fidence fairly , radiates In ' tho Moran
camp and among hi close followers. It
has had little effect on th wagering.
Wlllard .waa quoted as a two to on
favorite Immediately after th singing
of the fight articles, but these odda hav
shortened to some extent during: th last
week.
No Official Qsotatloa.
There are no official quotation or odd
on the outcome of th botit and nothing
that resembles- wagering by professional
better. Undoubtedly hundreds of private
wagera have been made at various adds,
but aa thcae ar not on record. It 1 dif
ficult to fix on anything Ilk official
quotations. In the beta made on Wll
lard to win a consensus verdict among
the experts at the ringside, 'th cham
pion at present rule a favorite at about
! to 1. Wagering Is 3 to 1 that Wlllard
will not knockout Moran and 5 to 1 that
Moran cannot stop Wlllard. In fact, the
betting on th various angle of tha bout
sinks into Insignificance when compared
with the many other financial feature of
the contevt.
With gate receipts of close to 1150,000
assured and a purre of $71.S0, tn addition
to 110,000 of moving picture money to be
divided between the pugs and promoters.
wagers of 15 and $10 lock Ilk copper cent
scattered In a treasury reserve vault
Forced to Rats Bid.
So far aa Wlllard la concerned, th bout
from the very beginning ha been a ft
namial project In which the risking of
his title was only a mere Incident to be
dismissed without serious consideration.
Tex Rlckard, the promoter of th bout
waa forced to raise hia bid aeveral time
tefore he secured Wllisrd's signature at
H7.5O0. Moran . was originally signed to
box for Rtcksrd at 15.00. Tha latter
voluntarily raised Moran'a share ovary
nme me w niara price wa boosted a
notch, with the result that Moran'a share
of the pure la Just half of what Wlllard
received. Moran repeatedly stated h ex
pected to make his big money after he
had won from Wlllard, whie th latter
with everything to lose and nothing to
gain in the ring, took rare that he waa
paid handsomely for any risks that he
took In meting Moran inside th squared-
circle.
This great Initial coat and the large In
cldentl expenses hare brought th total
up t nearly tioo.ooo, or about $10,000
round If the fixht goes the full distance.
Confronted with these figures Rlckard
realised that he would have to charge
htith prices, yet the ssle of some 11.000
tickets at figures ranging from $25 down
to $3 did not prove dlflcult. - Fully twice
aa many could have been sold and spec
ulator were today receiving double the
face value of such ticket a they had
obtained.

popular verdict on pol, it or by knockout
were the high lights today In the train
ing camp of the two pugilists. Neither
did any serious work and both reiterated
tonight they were In ol'Solutely the pink
of condition and readv to go ten roundr,
at top speed If necesviry. Wlllard an
nounced that he expictcd to welnh Just
about 220 pounds when he entered the
ring, and Moran estlmtted his weight at
about 203 pounds. Wlllard will have the
advantage in weight, height and' reach
over Moran, but this !oes not dismay the
latter, who takes great pleasure In citing
th case of scores of large boxers
knocked out by their smaller opponents.
Many See Moran Victor.
While a great number of the followers
of leading pugilistic' contests, Including
good Judge of the gaine from experience
Inside and outsldo the ring, believe that
Wlllard will defeat Moran, the Pitts
burgh man has a host of friends who are
equally positive that he will be the vic
tor. '
Among the most prominent of those
who have declared in favor of Wlllard
are: Jamea J. Corbet', James J. Jeffries,
Bob Fltxslmmona, Kid McCoy. "Philadel
phia Jack" O'Brien. Jot Choynskl. Terry
McQovern, Jack Cooper. Jack Gleason,
Martin Julian, Georja Consldlne, Bil
Newman and Jack Bkelly.
Jack Johnson, the ex-champion, who
met both men, believes that Moran Is the
better man and that the result of Satur
day night' contest will prove It. John
son' belief In Moran I shared In by
John Sullivan, J'm Coffey. Tom
Sharkey, Jack McAullffe, Jamea W. Cof
froth. Dal J lawk Ins, Jimmy Johnstone,
Bill Olbson, Dan Hlckuy and Benny Leo
nard. Announcement was made by the pro
moter of the fight that they had turned
over to a private stakeholder th unpaid
balance of $60,000 due tbe principal. Th
money probably will be paid to the men
before they enter" th ring. Th total
purse wa $71,260, but Wlllard received
$7,500 for signing the article and Moran,
$,7.
Wlllard did a little light work before a
motion picture camera today, but Moran
pent the day In absolute quiet and an
nounced he would not leave hia head
quarter again uneil he atarted for the
garden tomorrow night.
