BVEKING LEDGER PHIlJABLPHIA SATURDAY, MARCH 25,. 1916. IF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, FRANK MORAN WILL DEFEAT JESS WILLARD IN THE RIM , 10 ALL HEAVYWEIGHT RING CROWNS HAVE BEEN LOST BY POPULAR FAVORITES Corbett Was On Short End When He Defeated Peter Jackson in Great Sixty-one Round Battle THOSE who are placing their money on Frnnlc Moran to snntch tho world's heavyweight crown from Jess Wlllard tonight at Madison Hquaro Garden, Now York, may bo taking tho short end as. far as tho "dope" on tho two con testants la concerned, but they have n. peculiar fact In ring history on which to Imjso their hopes for victory wo refer to tho fact that Wlllard Is tho favorite. There has novcr been a great heavyweight battlo In which tho challenger won that tho title defender was not a favorite In tho betting and was not gen erally deemed nn easy winner by tho pugilistic fans and majority of experts. Looking back over prize ring annals we find that from the day Jim Corbett beat Peter Jackson In his mcmorablo battlo In San Francisco, which went 61 rounds, until Wlllard knocked out Jack Johnson April 6 of last year In Havana, the heavyweight belt has hot changed hands except to tho challenger who was not considered the favorite. Eight Great Battles Went to Challengers In all classes and weights It has been tho rulo that tho winning challenger was on tho short end of tho betting. Of course, It Is not truo that heavyweight fighters, or any other class, Invariably lose because they aro favorites, but tho big men have, without exception, lost at no tlmo excepting when they were favorites. James J. Corbett defeated Peter Jackson at San Francisco in Gl rounds on May 21, 1831 (Jackson favorite). Corbett knocked out John L. Sullivan In tho 21st round at New Orleans on September 7, 1882 (Sullivan favorlto). Bob Fltzslmmon3 knocked out Corbett In the 14th round nt Carson City, Nov., March 17, 1897 (Corbett favorite). Jim Jeffries knocked out Fltzsimmons In tho 11th round at Coney Island, June 9, 1S99 (Fltzsimmons favorlto). v Jack Johnson defeated Tommy nurns at Sydney, Australia, December 2G, J90S (Burns whs favorite). This fight was stopped In tho 14th round by tho police. Johnson knocked out Jeffries at Reno, Nev In tho lGth round on July 4, 1010 (Jeffries favorite). Jes3 Wlllard knocked out Johnson In Havana, Cuba, April t, 1915, In tho tith round (Johnson favorlto). And Yet On the Other Hand As remarked, tho mere fact that Wlllard Is tho favorite docs not menn that Moran Is going to win. But it does mean that history may repeat itself, as It often does, and Moran will bo the new champion by midnight. Moran himself declares that ho will win. Whether ho really believes this or whether his statement was mado In accordance with ring precedent, re mains to be seen. This reminds ono of a peculiar fact about prize fighters. There lias never been a championship battle fought beforo which both tho contenders did not loudly boast of their ability to win. This Is contrary to most other sports. For Instance, football coaches and captains Invariably send out "bear" stories. They deploro their inability to oven mako a fair showing; their men aro always, according to them, In a state of health bordering on constitutional breakdown; in short, they haven't a chance to win, they say. Last fall Pat Moran would not have predicted victory over the Red Sox for the world, and whilo Bill Carrlgan appeared confident, ho did not say his team would win until after the third game of the series. But these gentlemen of tho ring defy tho universe. Moran, Wlllard and all their followers aver tlint tho two big fellows nre In tho best shape of their carcors and each camp shouts Its conJldenco from tho housetops meaning the black typo of tho various sports pages. A'iolin Playing1 Cure for "Glnss Arm" Hero's a tip to pitchers and It doesn't cost a cent. If your salary arm turns to glass, don't worry. Just grab n violin and fiddle away. That's what Fred Goodhart. a pitcher on the Dickinson College team, did, and his arm Is as good as ever. Goodhart developed a "dead wing" In 1914 nnd tried evory remedy recommended to him, but they were all unavailing. Goodhart retired for the season and tried his whip again last spring, and in one game he discovered that his arm was useless. So ho retired again, During tho past winter Goodhart has played the violin in a Carllslo (Pa.) orcHcstra, and In practice a few days ago found out that ho could throw a ball as fast and curve It ns well as he ever could. Therefore, he says that In the extended arm motion required In playing the violin lies tho secret of his discovery. Would not bo a bad Idea for Pat Moran to try the violin on Billy Klllefcr If his arm doesn't mend quickly. Eastern Athletes Must "Watch Their Step" With Lcland Stanford and tho University of California preparing to send teams to tho Intercollegiate track nnd field championships to bo held In tho Har vard Stadium In May It is well for tho Eastern nthletes to pay some attention to the performances of tho Pacific Coast nthletes. Thero aro a great many per sons who believe that all of tho best athletic talent Is to be found this side of the Rockies but this is far from tho case. Thero are many stellar track and field performers In tho far West, many of them as good as the best In tho East ern colleges, and soma of them better. In a recent meet of the Stanford athletes Fred Murray, the captain of the team, ran the 100 yards In 10 seconds and 220 yards In 21 4-5 seconds. It will toko mighty swift running on the part of any Easterner to beat this speeding. Murray Is no flash. He showed his worth In tho A. A. U. championships. Ho Is an even better hurdler than a sprinter; said to be an even better hurdler than Fred Kelly, and Philadclphlans know well how good Kelly was in his performances In the relay games. Court Tennis Becoming Very Popular Although court tennis is tho moat dlflicult of all games to play, It Is quite remarkable, that it Is much more popular at tho Racquet Club than racquets. One reason for this Is that tennis can bo played by men of nil ages, whereas to play racquets seriously ono must have youth on one's side. There are othar considerations In favor of tennis. For one thing, It Is not quite so expen sive tu racquets and It Is really much more scientific. Furthermore, Jay Gould lias cast a glamour over the game, and in splto of the fact that they aro hopelessly beaten, players of nil degrees of proficiency aro only too glad to meet him. This year tho open champion of tho world entered the club champion ship, tho doubles championship, the singles handicap and tho doubles handi cap. After playing in the first round of the singles handicap he withdrew because he found that it was too difllcult to play In four events nnd train "Punch" Fairs for his coming match with Walter Klnsella. That Gould will win all three of the events he Is in goes without saying, but Jifs opponents will In no way regret that they had the honor of playing in xne nnai rouna. as a cnampion court tennis player, Gould stands pre eminent. His Influence on the game has been very great and his reputation has undoubtedly Influenced many men to take up the game. The matches In the tournaments during the last two weeks have brought to light one or two excellent players. D. L. Hutchinson, 3d, greatly added to his reputation In his match with W. II. T, Huhn in the semifinal round of the club championship nnd tho fact that he made Huhn play five strenuous sets proves that he Is a playen-who will have to be reckoned with in the future. Rather remarkable was the success of C. B. Jennings in the Class B singles handicap. Having only taken up the game a week or so before, Jennings went right through the tournament and gained a highly creditable victory over Stalllnga Has Jjtopped Developing Players When Wilholt, the much-touted slugging outfielder, Joined the Boston JJraves In training camp the other day the fact was recalled that there were only two men under Stalllnga who were minor league experiments and being developed by hiro; that all of his regulars had been developed In other league teams. This Is a startling condition, In view of the fact that Stalllnga when manager of the Yankees was distinctly a developer of young ball players and when relieved of his post had more good young ball players In hla team than any manager, possibly barring Connie Mack. It may be that Stalllngs decided that the business of developing ball players yraS too Blow and the results too unsatisfactory, In view of the brief ana quickly Interrupted tenure of office In New York. When he Joined the Braves he completely reversed his former methods and began to pick from other teams In order to get quick results. He wan successful at that time. Tba question Is. Will he bo able to come back again this year with another aggregation of pickups such as Rudolph, Gowdy, Red Smith, Sherwood Magee PI Konetchy, Dick Egan, Allen and Snodgrass?

Coach Hoy Thomns declares that never In his experience ns a baseball coach has ho met such unusual conditions. Last year tho men were outdoors the last week In January, and, with the exception of a few days, were able to work on the out door diamond continuously from that time on. This year, on the contrary, cold, rain and snow have kept tho men within the gymnasium with the exception of a few occasions on which they were able to "play catch" on the sidewalks outside the gymnasium. But in splto of the trouble the men have had to practice, Coach Thomas feels certain that no will have a nrst-claRS team, and even looked for a victory over the Navy today. The battery looks to bo par ticularly good. In Swlgler Coach Thomas thinks he has the pitching sensation of the year. This youngster, like most ot the other men picked for tho first game, was a member of tho freshman team last year. He is a right-hander and has all kinds of speed and good control. The other two pitchers who look good are Cross, also a member of last year's freshman team, and Cromwell. Tho latter was In tho Uni versity last year, but was Ineligible on account of conditions. Behind the bat the Quakers also have three unusual men. Gilmore. In par ticular, Is rated as good in his position as Swlgler is In his. Hoch, also playing his first year on the varsity, Is second choice, while Dolan, a member of the varsity squad last year. Is very good. With the exception of Moore at third base, the entire infield is made up of last year's freHhmen. Smith is the selection for first base, Todd for second base and Wray for shortstop Howard Berry, who has been dividing his time between base ball and track, is picked for centre field, but lie can play in the infield If necessary. M unlock and Sullivan are considered the best of the other outfielders This year's term is strong In all de partments nnd unusually strong just where last year's team was weakest That was in the pitcher's box. Thero was not a dependable pitcher In tho lot last year, H. IC Wallace being the best. With a dependable pitching staff, good catchers, an average field team, Coach Thomas Is now concerned chiefly as to the hitting ability of his men. If they come up to his expectations in this particular, he feels sure that Pennsylvania has an even chance to win a baseball championship NOTES OF THE AMATEURS The Drldzeport club hat reorganized for tha coming; season, with Haney McKeajr as man ager and Joseph Schoch, aa assistant.

EVERY lettejCd'; it reminds ME OF THE REAL FIGHT IP WILLAED WINS HE CAN TAKE A VERY LONG LAY-OFF No One in Sight for Heavyweight Honors but Frank Moran, Declares Grant Rice By GRANTLAND RICE milE trnil that winds out from tho "vVll- JL mrcJ-.Moran exhibit may point In many directions'. In caso of a chaw, or anything ap proaching tho same, loud, boisterous cries would rice Immediately for a return bat tle at Now Orleans, South America, Ha vana or some other favored spot, where 20 rounds or more can bo employed to give the correct answer. If thero is any argument at all as to which man finished first, a return test over tho longer route will bo a certainty. This same arrangement would hold truo in case Moran should outpoint Kansas Jess. If Moran nhould win by any sort of margin, barring a knock-out, tho ronr for n return contest would bo all tho louder. A Willard Victory nut the odds nre about 3 to 1 -that Wll lard will bo the most highly prevalent factor In this contest, and it Jumbo Jess knocks out Moran or outpoints him by a number of strides the heavyweight situa tion wilt havo to dispense with Mr. WIN lard's services for some time. If Mornn, a game, aggressive, hard-hitting, 200-pound Irishman, is unable to mako any showing against Wlllard, why dig up another victim? Moran, next to tho champion, is easily tho best man In sight. To match Dillon with Willard would bo a Joke. The only good It would do would be to satisfy Al Thomas' desire to see a printed story of a battlo between a giant and a dwarf, wherein tho giant wins. Hi fiction Dillon would have a picnic with Wlllard, No big man In fiction could ever hope to overwhelm ono some 80 pounds lighted nnd a foot shorter In stnture. 1 But In the ring it would be nnother matter. A Dillon-Wlllard matcn is too much ot a farce to be even thought of. Nothing Left No. if Wlllard overpowers Mornn there will be very little work for the rhamplon for some time, unless Fred Fulton comes along. Fred Is almost as big as Wlllard. and he proved in his battle with Flynn that he Is attached to a punch worth while. . Moran, if beaten by Wlllard, could still face a busy career. Ho could be used to prove the exact worth of Jack Dillon. And he could also be used ob a test for Fulton. Fulton is a certainty as AVIUard's next opponent If Moran fails to give the Big Fellow an even light. Nothing to it. Amateur vs. Pro. Dear Sir I wonder why they can't cut out all this bunk about Amateurs vs. Professionals? Every ono knows that It is absolutely Impossible to frame nny Just and Intelligible rule. And. moreover, every one knows that at the bottom the distinction between the two classes Is only another form of the well-known alibi. It a man is better than you are, he is better, and that la the end of It. Whether he puts in more time at practice, or he has money, or what not, may be ono reason why he wins. But the real underlying reason 1b that he Is a better man at mat game, xou can't make a swan out of a duck for all the money In the world. GEOIUJE T. PAYZANT, Westport, Isle of Pines. The Winner If there are any cups to be given for a world series promoting championship, Tex Rlckard should have them nil. Any financier who Is willing to offer 170,000 for a ten-round affair and Is then able to collect over 130,000 for the same Is so far in front that the next man back of him is In fifth place. Rlckard Is neither a gambler nor a promoter. He is merely a genius or a wizard, taking your own pick. Baseball's Advance Sir The statements which from time to time emanate from oldtlme fans re garding the superior prowess of ball toss era ot the past have always been a source of amazement to me. , How la it that In all other forms of ath letics, where achievements can be accu rately timed or measured, records are broken every few yearsT All track and field and swimming rec REALLY AFFORD IT, WIE I SEETHE tEe, You're a V. l-ucKt GUY I AiY POLLARD ords havo been broken mans- times slnco Buck Ewlng nnd Mike Kelly thrilled tho bleachers.

For an Expert Thero Is ono certain detail nbout this WIUard-Moran nffnlr. Both havo shown such supremo and outstanding confidence that if either Is flattened it will take tho genius of a super-expert to provido tho proper alibi. And oven then It Isn't very likely to get very far across.

Gardner , IF IT had not been for Robert A. Gard ner, of Hlnedale, Western golf In an amateur way would have been very much below par for the last 10 years. Clmndtor Egan took good care of West ern laurels In 1904 arid 1905. But slnco Egan's last rise to tho top, 11 years hgo, Bob Gardner has been the only Western entry nblo to finish first ln an amateur championship, and Gardner has turned the trick twice. In nnd Out Gardner does not havo nearly the same tlmo to glvo away to his game that others have. Thero are long stretches through tho summer when ho Is only nblo to got nway on a Saturday nfternoon or a Sun day, nnd when ho Is finable to tako part In any tournament. This Is Inrcrnti Fncmnriat,1 fn, iu i nndout quality of his play. Here are two. uiatuiitvsi in iuu uaraner won tho amateur championship; In 1910 he failed to qualify nt Brookllno. In 1914 Gard ner, driving badly, was a mark for Oulmot, who beat him 0 and S. Then, In 1915, Gardner turns nnd wins another chnm ptonshlp whon ho had already been listed ns a one-year' champion; that is, not good enough to repeat. Three Features After summing things up, one might say, In nil truth, that three features ox Isted In Bob Gardner's game. First would bo tho great length ho gets from tho tee. Next to Jesse Gull ford, tho Hinsdale' star Is the longest driver In America, nnd thero nre many who bolleve that Gardner can drive with Guilford. Second would bo tho great distance Gardner gets with a half-Iron shot. Third would bo tho bulldog determlna ntlon of tho player, and tho wonderful courago he can call upon in a hard, closo match. Thnt Half-Iron That half-Iron of Gardner's is ono of tho most amazing things In American golf. You will seo him facing a shot of 190 or 200 yards. You might well figure It a brassle or a spoon shot, or nt tho least a driving Iron, Gardner takes out his mldlron. Well, you will say, he must kill tho ball to got a carry of that dlstanco with a mldlron. Gardner swings, and, very much to your astonishment, tho club hardly comes back halfway. You figure that he might bo shooting for some mark about 135 or 140 yards down tho turf. But Just beforo tho swing Is completed thoso powerful wrists of his, developed In breaking pole-, vaulting records, sweep tho club head In like a streak, nnd the impossible Is .nc- NEWS 'FROM THE Journal Press Is champion of tha Curtis League.
