!JESS HOT LIKELY
TO LOSEHIS TITLE
Boat with Moran Will Be But Ten
Rounds and Champ Can Only
Lose by Knockout.
LITTLE CHAKCE FOR THAT
NEW YOr;K. an. II. - Th- rroposel
fcout r.tween Wlllard and Frank Moran
It of unuausl Interest In that It bring to
bear upon the heavyweight title several
angle which aro unusual In ring contests
when! thin title haa bwn Involved. t'nder
the law of th state of New York th
boxers will mt In what Is termed a
ten-round sparring exhibition without de
rlslon.Vnd If both men are on their feet
at the expiration of thirty minutes of
boxing; future ring record will carry the
bout a no-declslon rentes'.
Consequently the only way In which
the heavyweight championship could !
from Wlllard, the holder, to Moran. would
be for the latter to knock out hi op
Incnt or win on foul so deliberate that
there could be no question as to Ita In
tent. It ran be seen, therefore, that
the chief Interest In the content hinges
en the probability of either Wlllard or
Moran knocking out his opponent and
thus demonstrating dcclnlve supremacy.
Hlnce the days when hravywrl3ha first
donned g'ovra and fojjtlit under Querns
bury rules the ring records show that
knocknu'a In houts In which hwr. n
bav participated have avcrng-d we 1 over
ten rounds, notwithstanding that the list
tm-Hdes SWh powerful ti tters .f.f
fries, Kilasimmons, Sharker, Johnson and
ru.llvan. Doing back to the year, U-n,
when Corbett won from Sullivan lr
twenty-one rounds, the tables shew that
seven heavyweight title holder fought
eighteen battles In which the champion
ship was at slake.
Average Above Tea Kneads.
Thexe contests Included those In which
the battles terminated In a knjekout or a
referee's decision. All told, 213 rounds
were fought, and the averagl roundj to
a knockout was , approxlmntely thirteen
and one-half. In this list of r.njf battlea
are Included aevera In which, poor op
ponenta were quickly disposed of. each
as the Jeffrlr-Munroe and Burns-Kqulrea
bouts. When the list la pruned to llioai
In which the title actually passed tho
averaKe Is i 111 higher. Krora the time
tVirbett ill . od of Sullivan until Wlllard
punched Johnson Into the ex-chami -n
ship class, seven title holders rcs and
fell, and the . total number of rounds
necessary In the change of champion
ship waa IIS, which gives an average of
ery close to seven loon rounds per title
1 at tin.
From these figures It will be en that
the chances for a knockout In the ten
lound bout between Wlllard and Moran
are agalnat such a. teot. . The records of
lite boxers themselves, when taken In
connecrtlnn with the performances of the
Prospective opponent, would appear to be
against the scoring of a knockout Inside
ten rounds. Moran has fought forty-two
bouta, winning nineteen, or about 4X per
vent, by knockouts, and the average dura
tion of bout ending tn a knockout was
five rounds.
Wlllard has engaged In thirty battle,
eighteen of which he won by the knock
out route, giving him an average of
bout SO per cent. The average of rounds
to knockouts In the champion's case la
six and two thirds for these eighteen
bouts. That either Wlllard or Moran can
fight up to these averages when faced by
an opponent of the caliber that he will be
called upon to meet In thai contest Is
most unlikely.

Sandlot Umps Must Go to Umpire
School After Lamps Are Examined

In the public parks next season must pa

Investigation has disclosed tho fact that
the MUna which was placed on some of
these . amateur gameg laM season wss
due to sstlgmstlc umpires. This condi
tion Is to be no more. Those who would
officiate henceforth must bo examined
by oculists and thus prove to the Re
creation board that they ran discern be
tween ball and strikes. They must have
the eye of an raglo and a clear brain.
The Recreation boar has taken I he
mnttcr up in all seriousness and at the
next regular meeting, which will be on
Thursday evenirg, February J, Incnl r.t
erana of the game, will be invited to nd
(Inri and advise the board on this sub
ject. Invitations will be sent to Jack Has

he knows the gsme from A to 'A. Cross

FINAL COUNT THIRTY TO EIGHT
Cotner unlverglly five took the Univer
sity of Omaha flippers tn tow Thurs
day on the latter' floor by the decisive
score of 30 to 8. The visitor clearly otit
plyed the local and demonstrated their
superiority In every stage of the contest.
Only once did Omaha have a show-In and
thst was at the end of the first period
when basket by Adttma and McBrld
brought the totals for the first period
almost to a par, tho half ending 12 to ft.
On the restart the Christians rapidly in
cressed trelr lead, at the same time play
ing such a close guarding game aa to
keep the locals from registering once.
At time the Omaha flipper showed
flashe. of form, but were always brought
up with a Jerk when on the point of
scoring. The large total tallied by the
visitors was more through sensational
pegging of individual flipper than gen
eral team work. Ttmo and again a Cotner
player would make a wild heave that
plunked through the center of the hoopi
Of the right scores garnered by the
I'niverslty of Omaha five, Captain Adams
waa responsible for six. Out ot five free
throws, Adams found the basket four
time. The plucky playing of Leach at
forward and McBrlde at guard also fea
tured for , the loeaj .varsity lads.
For Cotner, Parmenter and Gardener
played in u sensational manner. Par

piraJM on the college court. Out ot thir
teen free throws, the lanky guard made
twelve perfect shots.
The contest wa one of the roughest of
the season, .a total of eighteen fouls be
