ERE are the five men. (1) Rocap, the famous sports
writer and referee. (2) Muldoon, expert on physical
training. (3) Public Ledger staff photographer. (4) Bullitt,
descriptive and humorous writer. (5) Weed, the Public
Ledger's celebrated cartoonist. The articles will be made up

ROCAP
Sports Editor of the
Public Ledger has
picked the winner of
every world's heavy
weight battle since 1892
when he nominated Cor
bett to beat Sullivan ; was
the only newspaper man
to cable a complete story
of the Johnson-Moran
fight from Paris, in June,
1914, securing a special
permit from the Minister
of Commerce to get the
story past the censors;
selected Jess Willard to
dethrone Johnson; nomi
nated Frank Moran as
the logical opponent of
Willard.
MULDOON
William Muldoon i s
recognized as the first
American trainer; has
built up the physique of
popular fighters and
famous men, from John
L. Sullivan, formerly
champion heavyweight, to
Elihu Root, former Secre
tary of State; is believed
to have almost infallible
judgment in forecasting
the physical possibilities
of men, especially fight
ers; the Ledger has com
missioned him to forecast
the fighting possibilities
of Willard and Moran.
PHOTOGRAPHS
The series will be freely
illustrated with pictures
taken by Public Ledger
staff photographers. The
pictures will have a wide
appeal and will visualize
the activities of the train
ing camps; the progress
of the two fighters; the
work of the trainers and
boxing partners; and the
public's interest in the
preparations for the combat.
BULLITT
of the Public Ledger
staff. A descriptive writer
whose racy and distinctly
humorous articles have
recently given a hearty
laugh to all Pennsylvania.
He will be at the ringside,
and will write of the
great scrap and scrappers
from the point view of an
amateur. Bullitt's por
tion of the page will be
written for the average
man not the fight fan
alone and will appeal to
every' one who under
stands the meaning of the
phrase "prize fight," or
ha3 sufficient humor to
evolve a chuckle.
WEED
the Public Ledger's car
toonist, will sketch the
men from life. Every
newspaper reader knows
Weed's cartoons their
essential accuracy, and the
way in which they depict
a man or an incident free
from pose. They are as
graplu'c as photographs,
and full of those touches
of satirical humor and
emphasis which mark the
work of master cartoonists.
