Krd and handles himself like one of the
preliminary athletes we see every week-.
Vie weighed 128 pounds when ho stepped
Into tho ring, and after the first mlnuto
very one could kcg that he did not belong
In the big league. Ita exploded tho same

Ai for JIcAndrews, he showed his weak

a nild slam to the jaw. Eddie has not
been boxing recently, however, and per-

It we can say Is that tho bout was fright-

C Jess Willard has been training In Xew
Tork for ono week and announces through
his official megaphone, "Tawm" Jones,
that ho has taken off three pounds. Won
.derful work! To lose three pounds In six
days Is quite a job when It is considered
that a man carrvlnc as much fat as Wll.

MORAN IS WAGER
MADE BY JONES
Champion's Manager Bets
$1000 Even Contender
Will Be Counted Out
DORGAN COVERS .MONEY
NDW YORK, March C Tho feeling of
confidence in Jess Wlllard's camp that tho
champion will win from Frank Moran at
Madison Square Garden on Match 25 by a
Knockout has become so strong that Tom
Jones, Wlllard's manager, has wagered
J1000 at even money with Iko Dorgan,
manager of Moran, that Willard will
knock out tho I'lttshurgher. This Is ono
of tho few good-sized bets on the bout that
have been made thus far. Jones is cred
ited with being a shrewd bejtor, and he
mado tho wager with Dorgan with tho
greatest apparent satisfaction. He has
also mado other bets that the champion
will register the dream-punch on Moran.
Tho betting fraternity is just becoming
active on this bout nnd tho coming week
may tco some large wagers registered.
Some of tho wlso gamblers aro willing to
tako the Moran ond at good oddB, but
there have been no bets made which Indl
cato Moran's backers are willing to tako
a chance on his outpointing the champion,
except at wldo odds.
Ono betting commissioner has $3000 to
bet at odds of 10 to 8 that Willard will
get the majority of tho newspaper de
cisions. On account of tho no-declslon
nilu of the Htato Athletic Commission,
newspaper decisions aro the only basis
for a decision, and to most bettors this
is not a satisfactory conclusion In many
cases. A few bets have been made nt
ovon money that Moran will Btay sjx
rounds.
Moran's friends nre willing to bet largo
amounts at even money that ho will stay
tho 10 rounds with Willard.
INJURY CAUSES MORAN
TO POSTPONE TRAINING
Contender in Bout With Jess
Willard Is Hurt While
Iceboating
NEW YORK, March C It became
known today that an Injury Buffeted by
Frank Moran while Iceboating near
Saratoga may postpone, for a day or so,
his workout program at Dal Hawkins', In
preparation for his bout with Jess Willard
on tho 25th.
Frank was thrpwn off his Iceboat while
trying to take a turn at a 40-ralle per
hour clip on Saratoga Lake," said Ike
Dorgan, Moran's manager. He Bhot along
about 30 feet on the ice and the friction
seems to have scorched his left leg
slightly.
"Frank had figured on beginning his
workouts today, but he won't get down to
real business until tomorrow or Wednes
day. He'll spend the afternoon doing a
little gymnasium work and solecting his
sparring partners. By Wednesday, at the
latest, his leg ought to bo all right. He
may try out the leg during the afternoon
in a two-round bout with one of the fel
lows out at Dai's place."

H "THE LINE THAT SAVES YOUR TIME" ftt
WASHINGTON NOT LIKELY TO WIN PENNANT
UNTIL CHANGE IS MADE IN TRAINING CAMP
Weather at Charlottes
ville Has Been Great
Handicap to Senators
for Three Years
Uy CHANDLER D. R1CIITER
AUTICLK XII.
THI3 wonderful Ty Cobb recently de
linked that Washington would never
win n, pennant until It changed Its train
ing camp, and wo henrtlly agree with tho
"Georgia Peach." In summing up the Sen
ators' chances In tho coming rnco ono muit
Borlously consider the ndvnntago In phys
ical condition tho seven other American
League clubs will have on Washington,
simply bccnuie Malinger (irlllltli H too
stubborn to admit ho Is wrong.
Orllllth picked out Charlottesville ns
tho training camp for tho Senators a fow
years ago bccau.to ho happened 'to bo In
that town during n particularly mild spell
in miuwintcr. Ho wns attracted iy tne
beauty of Charlottesville and Immediately
inndo nrrangements for tho tonm to train
there the following spring. Washington
has lind soveral snd otporiences as a re.
suit of Griffith's selection, but ho will not
make a change, simply because ho has
been severely criticised for not chnnglng.
If there over uni an obstlnnto man In
baseball, Orllllth Is that Individual, nnd
ho will not listen to the advice nf lili vet
eran players or the Washington scrlbci
when a different training ramp Is sug
gested. Lust spring tho miserable weather
and chilly wind", which nro n featuro of
tho Chnrlottosvlla brand of weather,
ruined "Chick" Qandll and mado Clyde
Milan. Crimth's best hitter, useless until
August. The loss of Jim Shaw, Ilochllng
nnd Alnimltli for a long stretch can also
bo attributed to the poor training facili
ties offered at Charlottesville
No Practice
Kor two weeks last spring tho Senators
did not got In n day's practice, and this
year they probably will faro worso. At
tho present tlmo thoro Is flvo Inches of
snow on tho Held used by tho Senators and
every prospect of having somo moro be
foio tho month Is over.
To Bhow how blindly obstlnnto Griffith
Is on this point we need only reprint what
ho told Ed Grlllo, of tho Washington Star,
on Saturday after tho scrlbo had informed
him of tho condition of tho field.
This Is what Griffith told Grlllo: "That
Is Just what 1 want. Whon tho boys get
down thero today they can get n lot of
beneflclul work by shoveling tho snow oft
the Infield. Thero Is nothing better than
that for them."
Perhaps tho cxcrclso will do tho'players
somo good, but tho Impression was that ho
was hiring ball plovers nnd not snow
shovclers. If Charlottesville was situated
further South It would not requlro a great
deal of tlmo to get the field In playing
shape, but as It Is the Held will not bo
In lit condition for good prnctlco for at
least three weeks.
It Is frozen hard now, which will lenvo
It unlit for practice oven after the snow Is
removed. As soon ns tho doslred warm
weather arrlvos the earth will begin to
thaw, nnd as It has been a particularly
cold winter In Chnrlottesvlllo It will bo
qulto a thaw before tho frost Is out of the
ground.
To win the pennant under such con
ditions Washington would have to bo a
great deal stronger thnn any team In tho
American League. As it is tho Senators
nre not nearly as strong, with training
conditions equal, as five other teams,
the league
Johnson Still a Marvel
Ono wonderful pitcher can completely
upset mo uopo In n ponnant raco If ho re
ceives somo help from tho rest of tho
staff and a few runs per game. Washing
ton has tho marvelous Walter Johnson,
but oven ho cannot turn tho tlda enough
I whllo tho ability of Wallace Johnson and
iviex inayer ns a uouuia team, is too well
known to need commont.
Tho strugglo for tho doubles champion
ship should bo a. keen one, with chances
slightly fnvorlng the Stato champions.
Tho tournament has produced excellent
tennis in all events and has been splen
didly managed. Paul W. Gibbons do
serves credit for getting the large number
of matches off so closo to schedule. Next
year's matches will bo even better, as all
tho players will foet tho Incentive to win a
place for -their names on the trophy cup
along with Willis Davis.
'A-v. JL
CLARKE GRIFFITH
to ex en carry tho Senators Into tho first
division unless tho recruits strengthen tho
tenm by far moro than Is expected.
Grltllth will again hnvo n strong pitch
ing staff. Johnson should bo Juit on good
ns over, nnd If tho Senators can hit behind
hlm ho should turn In closo to 2G victories,
regardless of whero tho team finishes. In
vnrlably Washington plays belter ball and
hits harder when Johnson Is on tho mound.
In another training camp, Jim Shaw,
tho big right-hander who was out of tho
gamo nhnost the entlro season, should
come back In groat shape. Whnt ho will
do without a chanro to get much good
training is problematical. Tho snmo In
true of Harry Harper, tho sensational
young southpaw.
Hat per would he a marvel with con
trol, but ho does not seem able to get tho
ball over tho plate without cutting down
his "stuff." Tho greatest euro for wlld
noss Is plenty ot work, Harper probably
will get llttlo chance to work as much ns
necessary, and la not likely to get control
until tho season Is well under way.
Of the other men from Inst year's staff,
Ayres and Ilcntley should bo better than
last season, but Doohllnrr's future Is
doubtful. Griffith has been trying to trndo
or sell him all winter; but no other club
wants to take a chauco on tho southpaw.
In condition Doohllng Is a groat pitcher,
but his injured knoo nnd failure to ob
seno training rules may shorten his
career.
Grllllth has picked up two promising
young twlrlers, ono of whom showed un
usual promlso nt tho cloBe of tho 19113
season. This youngster Is Gcorgo Dumont,
of thn Fargo team of tho Northern League.
The other is Charley Humphreys, ot Nor
folk, who was tho best pitcher in the
Vliginla League. Little is known of the
other recruit hurlers.
Tho sale of Gandll to Cleveland was duo
to the lattcr's failuro to ngrco with Man
ager Orlinth on many subjects, tho most
Important of which was tho selection of
Charlottesville as a training camp, and
to the unusual work of Joe Judge, at
Buffalo last season.
Scouts and players who havo seen
Judge play dcclaro that ho is suporlor
to Gandll In oery way, nnd that Grif
fith has picked up a star. Ho is suro of
his position, whllo Mclirido nnd Foster aro
other Infield certainties. It is likely Fos
ter will bo back at third baso this season,
Hay Morgan has been a bitter disap
pointment to Grllllth, but tho Washington
innnnger believes ho will come back
Othors do not ngreo with Griffith, and say
MjjCiBEaZJ
. ,- S.fP'
Griffith's Team Does
Not Look Strong
Enough for First Di
vision Berth
that Cnrl Sawyer, tho Western League
recruit, will clinch tho second base posi
tion. It Is likely that Foster will be
shifted back to second, with Howard
Shanks plnced on third, It both Morgan
nnd Sawyer fall to make good.
Tho outfield materlnl Is good and
Shanks could be spared for Infield duty,
particularly as strength In tho latter de
partment Is moro necessary to the Sena
tors Clydo Milan's position In centre li
clinched and none of tho youngslors will
try for It, but Dnn Moellcr probably wilt
lose tho right field Job to Henry Itondcnu,
Charles Jnmlcson, IJnrbor or Horace Mi
lan, Clyde's younger brother.
Gharrity Will Get Chance
Washington will be well supplied with
star receivers if Gharrity mnkes good.
Gharrity played wonderful for Minneapolis
nnd Is rated as n star Ho batted .308
In 80 games In tho American Association,
