CHANCES FOR W1LLARD-M0RAN NO-DECISION BOUT NOW SLIM, DESPITE PUBLIC DEMANl
PROMOTERS OP PROPOSED
BOUT BETWEEN WILLARD
AND MORAN STRIKE SNAG
Boxing Clubs Fail to Raise Bid, But Dear Old
Public Likes to Get Stung and
Clamors for Contest
TAB Wlllard-Mornn championship bout evidently lias struck a nnng. For
three days promoters, mantiKors and pugilists have been silent, and the ante
has not been boosted over the 65,000 nolso made 'by Jimmy Johnston, of tho
Madison Squnro Garden. Even Jack O'Drlen, our own homo town booster nnd
flstlc magnate, has not broken Into print with another bid for a six-round bout
to be hold In Philadelphia.
When boxers are placed ;n a position where thoy can demand these enormous
guarantees, It shows that boxing Is moro of a profession than a business.
Wllliard Is offered $3S,500 for 10 rounds againm Morun. This la more than
11000 a minute for his work. Ho Is offered the same amount to box six rounds
here, which is nearly $2000 a minute. This Is more money than Is earned by
railroad presidents, bankers and members of tho United 8tatcs Senate.
But the promoters are taking no chances when they make these Mattering
offers. They are not risking their wealth in nn effort to case the public. They
expect the public to pay them handsomely for their trouble. The boxers will
pet their big purses. The public will furnish the money. There Is no doubt
that J30.000 guarantees are all out of proportion. It would be necessary to
charge from $6 to $100 for seats. It may be argued that the fans have the
alternative of not paying or staying away; but all sport followers know that
despite the grumblings, the fans will pny If tho bout appeals to them.
It la the Dear Old Public that gels tho worst of it every time. Why shouldn't
the promoters offer enough money to (lout a national debt to get two popular
boxers Into the same ring? Barnum wns right.
Money Cannot Duy a Pennant hi Major Leagues
Bob Hedges, ex-owner of the St. Louis Browns, takes tho Iloor nnd submits
the following: "Wealthy magnates are a tncnaco to baseball. Tho men with
well-upholstered bank rollH can go the limit in purchasing talent for their teams.
This will make a runaway race of it nnd tho league top heavy."
Perhaps Mr. Hedges Is right, but let's shuffle up the cards nnd sen what
happen.!. The Now York Giants Is supposed to be tho wealthiest team In base
bill. Last year, despito tho money behind It, the team finished absolutely last.
Thero was an unlimited bank roll behind John Met? raw, but It couldn't purchase
the real players.
When Connie Mack turned out his famous team thut won the American
League pennant six times and tho world's series three times, the stars, llko
Collins, Barry, Mclnnis and Baker, did not cost us much aa one spends In a
year for cigarettes. And It was the greatest team eter welded together In the
history of the American League.
Last year Charlie Comlskey purchased Eddie Collins, and spent $100,000 in
an effort to "buy" a pennant winner. His tenm was not in the running. And lust,
but not leaat, tako the case of our well-known Phillies last year. President
Baker has not gained fame as a reckless spendthrift, yet he turned a bunch
of misfits over to Pat Moran and won the National League pennant. All of
which goes to show that Hedges is perfectly right but only in one instance.
Wealthy magnates can purchase star players, but winning the pennant with
them is another matter.

Johnny MuTaggart was a messenger boy In New York three years ago.
Today he Is one of tho most fumous jockeys In tho country. Who .says a
messenger boy cannot develop speed?

Form Not a Necessity in Rowing Competition

PLAN TO DEVELOP STARS:
The Ilaceiuet Club has Jiiht made a ntnVH
thut promises lo do more for tho de
velopment of rurrjuct.s court tennis and
squash incmtets than anv action taken
by an organization In recent years. This
la the granting or permission to Junior
members to use the courts at ccilaln pre
Fcribi'il times under tin- tutelage if the
club's experienced piofosulonals in an
enort to create u greater liiteiest in these
success of English crews caused many of our American oanmen to cast aside
what is known as the American stroke and adopt the peculiar stylo of the
English,
For a time several coaches had wonderful success in this country with the
English stroke, and experts wire convinced that, this style was fnr supcriur
to anything we had here. But the same coaches who were responsible for the
English stroke In many of tho leading colleges failed dismally In other years.
This caused American rowing authorities to decide that It was the material
and not the stroko which ma to a successful crew.
Joe Wright, Penn's new coach; Coach Jim Hice, of Columbia, nnd Ellas
"Ward, former Penn Instructor, met yesterduy to talk over rowing in general.
During the course of the discussion this subject of rowing form was brought
up. The famous coaches were unanimous in the opinion thut there was no
particular advantage In any stroke and that the success of a crew depended
entirely upon the material at hand nnd the manner In which It was handled.
They all agreed that tho best coach In the world could not succeed, regardless
of the stroke used, unless the material was at hand. Which goes for any other
oport, although some men are more successful with mediocre material because
they can get more work out of the men.
Bowls 17 Hours for 130-game Record
Darrel Hamlet, of Iowa City, well known by many local stars and who
has broken many endurance marks, recently rolled for 17 consecutive hours,
In the coming gcnciiitlon of Uutnnon
The Itacqunt Club's Junior llHt comprises
the list of those under legal use, below
which none can become members of this
famous mganizntinii, and whose names
appear on the waiting list tn be consld

This list Is a lonjr one, and consists of
sous of many of this city's most noted
men from a Boelnl and club athletic
standpoint. Among them are the sons of
a number of the best racquets and court
tennis players in the club, yuuths who
are especially eager to follow In their
father's fuomieps in these spoils.
Great Benefit
Ilcielofore It has been necessary for
these youths to await their nnlval at the
ngo when they could be enrolled as mem
bers, by which time they have lost munv
jears of valuable training Just at a period
when they would bcncllt greatly by in

a number of athletic joung men are Bet

for a greater numDer 01 nours in an enuuruiice coiucsi, out ne nas never roiien
such an unusual number of games in the bame length of time. It is believed
that his 130-game mark In 17 hours Is a record, as tho highest murk made
recently was 13S games for LM hours. A split thumb caused Hamlet to ipjit,
when he was In an excellent position to break all existing records.
A bowling statistician has Ilgured out that If but one ball is used by
nil the participants tn the National Bowling tourney, which opens at Toledo, O.,
on March 4, It will travel 287,550,000 feet, or u distance of 07.510 miles. This is
based on allowing 150 feet from the bowler's position to tho end of the alley
and the return on the run-way. He also dopes out that pin boys will break
tome records lifting pins. Each set of plus weighs 'i'i pounds, and it is cal
' culated that they will be handled 900,000 times, making an accumulative
' weight of 28,000,000 pounds. The pin boys also return thn balls to the run
ways 1,620,000 times. As the weight of tho average ball lu 1C pounds, this will
make 25,920,000 pounds of dead weight handled by the boys.
t
Home-run Hitter Gets No Big- League Offers
An outfielder named Hesse, of the McAlester team of the Western Associa
tion, is receiving columns of press notices but no major league offers for
making 34 home runs last season. The reason is simple: While the Western I
lercily matches are ready to sten out
of active rompelitlon there will be a
new anil well-trained group teady to step
into their shoes and more than hold their
own.
Court tennis nnd raciiuets are two
games that require moio coaching, prac
tice and application than any others In
tho curriculum of sports, and any jiuis
that can he saved nnd applied aj will
be done by the new rule at the Uauiuct
Club Ineieimcs the ch.ititu of the early
development of some more stars.
Had Early Training
Jay Could, ot the tuoiuet Club, who
holds the world'd court tennis champion
ship, owes his success ulinust entirely to
the fact that he had ears of training
In this sport befoie tho onilmuy clubman
la old enough to bo enrolled In any club.
While UoulU was a mere boy his father
brought ('Vault Forester, a young pi off h
slonul. over from KnKlaiul ami gave his
son Into his hands for training lu court
tennis and raciiuets.
Association la a high-class minor organization, the fences are unusually short , 0.n "i", , ineveiope.i .rapidly on
he had ru.iehtil un uge when moat club-
Jn most cities. Resse made one remarhnblo record, however, which bus been
generally overlooked. In the course of the season he made only 121 hits. In
eluding 67 singles, 24 doubles, 6 triples and 34 home runs. In other words,
pne-fourth of hlj drives were home runs, while more than half were extra-base
wallops, something which has never occurred before In any league. Again It
Is blamed on the short fences, as his doubles Invarlubly bounded otf the wall,
Bessa batted only .281 In 128 games,
Meredith Iq Hounding Into Shape
Phlladelphians wnre disappointed by the defeat of Ted Meredith at the
hands of Caldwell In the special B00. yard race In New York Wednesday night
and predicted that the famous I'ennsylvanla stnr wns going back, but those
who ha,ve watched Meredith In his work this fal realize that the Olympic
champion Is slowly rounding Into form.
Meredith gave a much better exhibition ogalnst Caldwell than he did last
Saturday and still was far from being at his best. Meredith has had too
much upon his shoulders at Penn this fall to bring himself to his proper form
for tha Indoor season nnd has mode no attempt to show his 1915 indoor form.
George Orton, Penn's track couch, declares that he is well pleased with
Meredith's Bhowlng, as he did not expect his star to show so well with bo
Jlttle training, Orton predicts that Meredith will be at his best within the next
month, and that from then on until the intercolegates he will show his heels to
any runner in the world. A world's record In the half-mile and perhaps a like
performance ,ln the quarter Is Orton's prediction for the Ited and Blue captain
this spring'.

championship, a title he has defended

The latter sent tho Ilabbit a letter em

Maianville and other- members of tho

George Stalllngs was bitterly opposed to
his players participating In the indoor
sport.
That Is why the Ilabbit promptly wrote

basketball managers who were acting in
haste and on chance.

151 pounds, which is about 10 pounds
moiu than Ills playing weight, but he
has taken on four or live pounds that
are really useful and do not need to be
rubbed off.
Ho guts up early In .the morning and
takes long walks and plenty of other
exercises. Including sawing and chop
ping wood. He does just enough of the
wood business to keep him feeling
rigiu.
Up till a month ago he worked as a
steamtltter. but has given that Job up
so that he nmy have plenty of tlnm for
rest and also preparation for the base

Most Popular Athlete
Dear Sir: I know It Is considered trea
son for any one to place Christy Matliew
son second to any ball player, whether In
popularity, elllcleney or knowledge of tho
game. I have intended Xathmal League
games since 1FSC, nnd I can safely any
that If tho KLlecllon of the most I'Ol'U
IIl l'l.AYIIU of AM. Tl.Mi: was lett to
tho fans of the country at largo Mlko
Kelly would be selected. As an Idol of
tho fans he stumls alone, Just as Ty
Cobb Is the greatest player.
I remember witnessing a game In Wash
ington when Kelly wns with Chicago, lie
was playing light Held. Ho missed an
easy lly, and an he was walking to the
bench the blcuchciltcs began guying him..
Me walked over nnd wild: "Hoys, you II
have to excuse me, but I had a couplo
of beers befoio the game" Then ho
walked on to tho bench. "We like you all
the same, Mike," was tho shout that went
up fiom tho crowd. No other player, be
fore or since, was ever ns close to tho
fans of tho country was over as univer
sally loved. H. A. WALLACE!.
Mike Kelly was popular for tho same
reason that John Lawrenco Sullivan was
popular because both put their gomes
above the pay-check mid because both
had unusual magnetism. Their sin i nnd
their viltucH veie nil vivid. Their na
tuies had an appeal beyond anything
that mete ability could ever ptoduce.
Today the gieat playeis of the garno
are of a different type. They make no
attempt to build up the. affection or the
crowd or even to attract its notice.
The Hip; Pain
There are any niimher of agencies that
can produce a vital, throbbing pain, but
nothing that In this respect Is beyond
the average fight manager.
This late Wlllard-Mornn tinsco has been
one of the mon sickening episodes of tho
