by a mile, but ho did
not llvo up to his ad
vnnco notices He
punched Mr. Hrno nil
ivcr tho ring, landed
nlmoot at will on tho
old gentleman's Jaw
and body, but his
blows lacked steam,
nnd "Yl - Yl" took
them MnllliiRly. It
looked us If O'Dowd
had left hit much
heralded linj maker
on tho burenu when
ho departed from St.
MAm.t
H was nor tue most cicmiiK wiim-uii
in tho worm but It probably contained the
tut bunch of thrill that Hrno ccr will

... hnir fnt slow, his blows wcro weak,

i Is safe to bay that never In his 17 year
f of boxing and Hrno met nil of tho Rood
ones In Mi" "ay " " "i1-'"11 '"" "i
.....h n sorrv exhibition. Tho only reason
1 1 . was not carried from tho ring after u
MmUDtaof rounds was tllat O'Dowd lacked
tho experienco imu euinsn, i ' -antngo
ot the numerous openings which
lvcro presented from tho Btart.
They Can't Come Back
' In pugilistic circles YounB i:rno Is only
& fond memorv. from now on. If ho per-
fist In boMmr. It will bo "Old Krne." or
'nlmply HukIi C.avln. And S.ituvday
nlBht's iierforma co onco more showed
the truth of tho old uilaco that "they
can't come back "
PcrhapH O'Dowd suffered from-tho lone
trip from the West or had tm off night.
At any rate, ho did not bear tho ear
marks of a champion, and ho can con
sider himself fortuunto that ho did not
.hook up with any of tho toufih young
'welters In UU3 section llko Wllllo Monro
i or Stoo I.ato lie got away to a bad
etart, just HI" 'l'to Herman and Mo
Mornn, and will hao to show something
jood beforo ho sets Into tho running
again
O'Dowd appeared in tho ring wearing
hlil Ri" n sill: skull cap and an rmer
tlil batbrobo emblazoned with golden
harpi lie receled u hearty cheer from
tho followers ot St. Vat when ho took his
scat This w.ih tho best part of Michael's
act.
Frankic White Does "Well
The reil wind-up to tho show was lost
In the shulll" and Jack McCulgau ol
dently ro.ide iv mlstako when ho put It on
as a curtain raiser Kranklo AVhlte, the
Joy ami pride of I.lttlo Italy, mingled with
Aba KabaKort In tins hessiou, nun n. n
tho featuie of tho ovonlng. White h.iB
been forging to tho front rapidly of Into
and. has been Improving In overy buttle
Ho defeated KabaUoff, who Is regarded
as ono of tho toughest boys of his weight
In the country
IVhlto Marled things going In tho drst.
when ho dropped Abo twico with vicious
right hooks to the Jaw. Abo was game,
howcer, and managed to stick through
the first round In tho second Kranklo
almost floored him ngaln with straight
left Jabs- something unusual In tho ring
but again K.ib.ikoff weathered tho storm,
although he was Htnggorlng when ho wont
to his corner KabakofC camo back strong
In tho remaining rounds, mid gao almost
as good as horecolcd.
Is Cool Performer
Franklo While showed that ho Is a very
ccol performer, and docs not run wild
when lie has bis opponent In bad shape.
He took bis time In tho Ilrst and second
rqunds und although ho missed bcvcral
hard rights and left, any of which would
hr,o finished his man, thoy wero carefully
aimed and missed by u short margin.
When White learns bomo dcfenslvo tac
tics ho will bo a formidable opponent for
any ono of his weight.
Jimmy Duffy, of New York, put on n
real conio back, when ho dofented llddle
Wagond In tho bemlwlnd-up. Kddlo bad
his man In bad Miapo In tho second round,
but Duffy more thnn inudo up for it In
the remaining sessions. IIo won by a city
block.
Ertle at Olympia Tonight
Johnny Krtlo should experience little
difficulty in winning from Young Mc
flovcrn at tho Olympia tonight. Ilrtla has
been qulto busy since ho arrived In the
East, but his opponents havo not been the
toughest men in his class. Miko McNulty
Is careful about who ho sends his boy
aealnst and seems to bo nursing him along
for a big light In tho near future. The
other bouts on tho card should bo exciting,
Fred Fulton restored himself to good
standing In tho Heavyweight Challengers'
League last Friday night when he put Old
Jim Fhnn to bleep In two rounds In Mil
waukee. This Is Fred's second stnrt since
his battle with I'orky Flynn a couple of
tnonths ngo, and ho Is now ready to box
Wllard and Moran on the same night
There's nothing llko confidence, and Ful
ton seems to have lots of It.

PENN MEDLEY RELAY
TEAM IS CHOSEN
Quakers Meet Cornell on In
door Track at St. Louis on
Saturday Night
Although they wero deprived of the
honor of victors, the I'nlveralty of Penn
sylvania one-milo relay team made u new
world record against Princeton nt Louls
vlllo. Ky Saturday night. Tho Quaker
team finished first, In 3 minutes 22 sec
onds, which Is threo seconds better than
thu previous Indoor record.
It Is not likely that the record will bo
allowed because thu Quaker team was dis
qualified. After the race a protest was
filed with the rcferea on tho ground that
Kaufman had passed Barr, of Providence,
on tho Inside Instead of on the outside, ns
the rules provide. It wns explained In be
lialf of Kaufman that the Princeton man
was running very wide and that there waB
amplo room for tho Quaker to pass him
without any collision. The rule about pass
ing a runner on tho outside Is hardly ever
enforced In Indoor meets, but although the
Quakers won by 15 yards they took their
disqualification gracefully and neither the
team nor coach had anything to Bny about
It today.
Coach Orton announced that the same
team, Kaufman, Lennon, Dorscy nnd
Meredith had been selected to run the med
loy relay race against Cornell at St. Louis
on Saturday night. The first runners w til
run 220 yards, the second a quarter mile
and the l.iBt two a half mile each. Orton
said ho would have to have trluls to de
toimlne whether Lennon or Kaufman
would run the 220 yards or quarter, but
the chances are that Kaufman will lead
off. Dorsey and Meredith will run the

MORAN IS UNDER
WEIGHT FOR MIX
WITH J. WILLARD
Champion Beyond Avoir
dupois He Expects to
Carry in Ring Saturday
JESS 10 TO 8 FAVORITE
NT.W YOIHC, March 20 Tho final week
of training of Frank Moran and Jess Wll
lard found Hip challenger two pounds
lighter than tho weight which bo hopes
to carry Into the ring next Saturday night.
Wlllard, lion over, weighs close to nnr,
pounds, which Is somewhat beyond tho
tonnngo ho expects to dUplace when he
lights his first battlo In defense of hla
title.
Wlllard's program for the day called for
10 rounds of strenuous sparring with his
UA nf nrfn.ra In iiddltinn to tllQ TCKU-
lar gymnasium work. Moran's afternoon,
however, will be tnlten up In fighting
suit for $H00 brought ngnlnst hlm by Dan
McKetrick, n former manager.
Realizing that tho tlmo for laying their
wagers Is growing shorter, tho betting
frnternlty began risking t-oinc of its lucre
today The prevailing odds nro 10 to S
that Wlllard will win tho decision. Here
and there somu bets of 2 to 1 on Wlllard's
chances havo been recorded, but almost all
of them nre small nnd made among
friends.
Tho odds of 1 to 4 that Wlllard will
knock out Mornn are still being offered,
with a fair amount of covering by the
Moranltes. Tho eagerness with which tho
backers of tho challenger snap up the of
fers of B to 1 that Moran will not knock
out Wlllard caused a shift today, and the
best offer now Is 9 to 2 ngalnst Moran's
chances to slip over a Morpheus wallop.
Tho promters announced today that they
nlready havo banked over J85,000 from the
sale of tlckots, and that reservations cnll
Ing for $2D.O0O worth of eats are expected
to bo exercised within tho next two dayB.
Tex Richard Is confident now that the
"house" w 111 be sold out.

Just at 10 o'clock the bell rang, and
Mornn himself answered the phone. The

Into u roomful of admirers, and whispered
to the faithful trainer:
"Hill, you'd better go on down to Tlllle.
Little Hill Isn't so good." And then Moran
went up to hla room, tho tears stream

LARRY LAJOIE REPORTS
By CHANDLER D. RICnTER
JACKKONVtI.M:, Kin., March 20. The
eight Athletic players who were due to
nrrlvo here this morning nt 7 o'ctoclc did
not got In. This pnrty, led by Captain
Harry Davis, left New York Friday on
the Apacho and wns due this morning,
but n wireless from tho Clyde liner slated
that the boat had been delayed by bad
cent her nnd It would not arrive until 5
a m tomorrow. On board the Apache nro
llnrry Davis, Amos Strunk, Stuffy Mc
Innls. Pnm Crane. Uiwton Witt, Sam Mc
Conncll, Jimmy Walsh nnd Lew Malone.
Yesterday morning, Third Baseman
Pick, formerly of tho Richmond club, ar
rived, while Larry J.njole, Kube Oldrlng;
nnd Shag Thompson came In last night
With perfect weather tho aiackmen have
only three days to prepare for tho Braves.
This virtually means that the men will be'
rnthcr stirt und far from right, but If the
weather Interferes, ns predicted, the Mack
men surely will be up ngalnst It.
Batting practice wl" tnke up the greater
part of the practlco for tho regulars until
Wednesday, ns Mannger Mack realizes
that tho men will havo to have their bat
ting eyes with them to lilt the kind ot
pitching they will face when they meet
tho Braves.
Tho Ilne-up for the first games Is proble
matical. It depends entirely upon the
physical condition of the men after Tues
day's work-out (If tho weather permits)
nnd tho selection of pitchers who will ac
company the regulars will not be an
nounced until Tuesday. It Is bclloved that
not more than llvo hurlers will make the
trip to Miami, with two more Joining the
team nt Daytonn.
Present Indications aro that Bush,
Dressier, Crowell, Myers and Sheehan wilt
be sent to Miami with Morrisctto nnd
either Hay or N'abors ndded to tho squad
ut Daytona. None of the hurlers will be
permitted to twirl nlno Innings until the
trip north Is started, uccordlng to Man
ager Mack. Ho plans to work tho pitch
ers four, five nnd six Innings, depending
upon their condition. This will grad
ually work them up to nine Innings.
Mack probably will keep Stellbauer,
Witt, Malone and Thompson with the
Yanlgann until he has had a chance to
slzo them up, while Scliang and Meyer
nro In best shape to do the catching for
the regulars.
This would mean that the regulars will
line up with rick. Crane, IJolo and M&
Inuis In the Infield and Oldrlng, S trunk
and Wnlsh It, the outfield. It looks as It
there will be but sine change In the line-up
which finished tho 1310 season In fast
place, but with a different brand of pitch
ing nnd young material on hand to fill In,
It may look llko a different team.
The pitchers nnd catchers will be al
lowed to work easily for n few days whlJsv
Mack. Davis nnd Thomas nro busy set
ting the regulars In shnpe. The rest will
do tho youngsters a great deal of good,
as they were showing the effects of the
hard grind.
