BROOKLYN, June SO.
TtJE main bout of tho evening had pro
gressed nine rounds. A big blonde warrior,
ynizlvg a startling resemblance to the pic-
turoa or me vikings
o( old, staggered
around the ring, while
a smaller person rain
ed blow aftor blow on
his head, face and
body. Tho btg man's
face was covered with
blood, hlo legs were
weary, and his knees
saggod, as ho clumsily
lumbered around In a
vain effort tt escape,
further punishment.
"I'll bet 1 to 50 that
Frank Moran wins,"
It, "SV. MAXWELL shouted an excited
ineotator who sat next to us.
"I wouldn't tako that lonesome buck."
welled another spectator, who evidently
was bis frlond. "If tho odds wero 1 to
1000. I'd bo stealing your money.
And tho other man was right Big Prank
Moran, iO pounds hoavler and a noad taller
than his opponent, was a 1000 to 1 shot
soon after tho hoavywolght battlo began at
Washington Park, hero last night. Ho bat
tered little Jack Dillon around tho squared
circle for throe rounds, but after that his
task was just as easy as momnzing a neru
of olopbants In a telophono booth,
iv Little Jack walloped Frank unmercifully,
hit hlra repeatedly without a roturn, and
, romped homo a winner by BUch a wide mar
gin that It Is doubtful that any of tho
newspapors hero will havo the nervo to even
call it a draw. Tho battle upset an old
adage. A good ltttlo man can beat a good
' big man at least tho bost big man wo havo
outsldo of Jess Wlllard.
Dillon, with his brow wrinkled and wear
' tnc a worried look, had the appearance
I of a schoolboy lighting It out with tho
i town bully. Ho took his task seriously,
howover, and assumed a buslncss-llko air,
. which contrasted strongly with Moran's
1 smile In the earlier stages of the bout.
I Frank's smlto was punched oft his faco
I In the flfth round and after that, when It
' appeared, it lacked sincerity. It did not
1 ring true.
Yesterday aftornoon- the wlso birds
' roosting on Broadway, dopod It out that
i Dlllorx had a good chance, and put down
large wads of regular money on the bear
cat at 6 to E. Jack remained the favorlta
' until the crowd gathered at tho ball park,
when Abo Attell appeared on tho sceno
with a big bank-roll and reversed tho odds
by laying 1130 to $100 that Moran would
win. Abe played nccordlng to form, how
ever, as ho never has picked a -winner In
his life.
There Is no doubt that Moran under
estimated his smaller opponent Ho entered
the ring In very poor condition,, with rolls
of fat hanging over his belt, looking like
an athletic clubman about to tako some
exerclao about spending tho winter In an
easy chair. He started out with a quizzi
cal expression In his oyes and grinned
rather sheepishly, as If ho did not relish tho
Job of chastising that little kid who had
tho nervo to challenge him tb physical com
bat Evidently ho figured that thoy would
carry Mr. Dillon, out of the ring after a
couple of rounds and ho wanted to make It
as pleasant as possible. A
AH -Wrong '
But Francis Charles was all wrong. Ho
had things his own way for three rounds
and almost put tho llttlo chap away, but
after that he Just trailed along, taking the
bloole bloole stuff on tho chin, head and
every other place, and woathored tho storm
only because of hlb ability to assimilate
punishment
When tho men entered tho ring and re
moved their robes, It was apparent that
the stories of Moran's wonderful condition
and his work-in the great outdoors wero
pure punk. Frank's skin was pure white,
With nothing that ovon resembled sunburn
en It, and he Beemod fat and flabby. Dillon,
on tho other hand, was brown as a berry,
and appeared to bo in tho very best of con
Ultlon. Moran's pasty whlto skin had a pale and
corpsy look Under tho curious glare of the
greenish lights used for moving-picture pur
poses, and a ghastly effect was produced
when tho blood began to flow from his nose
and mouth. Dillon landed those cruel cut
ting blows which chopped the big man's
features as If ho were using a kntfn-
Moran started out with all of the confi
dence In the world and bulled tho llttlo man
for three rounds. Frank was the faorlto
With tha crowd, and the 16,000 persons who
crowded their way Into the old Fed ball
park wero on their feet shouting for a
I knockout In thq third round Morn backed
Dillon to the lopes, landed several hard
rights to tho head anrj body n-d had the
smaller man ready to takqjjKTcount. He
drew back his terrible rlcht fist, which flat
tened Jim Coffey twice, shot It home with
terrific force and all wondered how Dillon
could stand up under it.
Then Dillon Started
Near the end of tho session p,nd 'ien
the spectators were about to hurry fv the
exits, Dillon earns to llfo. He slid away
from that fat, pasty body and then charged
forward, head down, his gloves traveled up
ward with lightning rapidity, every blow
landing smack on Frank's face. He varied
,hls attack with crushing wallops to the
body and was fighting hard at the bell.
This was the turning point of the battle.
Moran discovered that he didn't have a
loft Jpb oi his hands and that bored look
Vanished. He tried hard to land his right
mash to the jaw, but Dillon used a crouch
similar to that used by Jeffries, which pro
tected the lower portion of his face, ond
Frank's blows glanced oft Jack's shoulder
without doing any damage.
In the flfth round Dillon began to show
his superiority, Tha boxers fell Into a
Clinch and Mpran dropped his head on
Jack's shoulder. His face was exposed
Underneath and the "bear cat" drove a
dozen uppercuta against that, surface. Wnei
they were separated, Moran's fape was
covered; with blood, the result of the blows
landed on the nose and mouth.
It was tho same In the following rounds.
With Dillon equlrmlng out of danger and
shooting lefts and rights to the head and

body while getting away. In the tenth
round Jack landed a hard blow on Moran's
eye and more blood streamed down his
face. Tho big man was nearly blinded
When the final boll clanged.
The result of this battlo removes Moran
from the plnnaclo ho has occupied for tho
last year and places him down among tho
other heavyweights who aro strhlng for
recognition. No longer can he draw down
thoso huge purses, and ho must tako his.
turn with Fred Fulton, Jim Coftey and tho
other big battlers.
Dillon now Is tho drawing card. Ho
proved It last night, but It Is doubtful If ho
over will got a chance at Jess Wlllard.
Joss Is entirely too big, and the smaller
man would hot havo the ghost of a chance
to win. True, ho staggered Moran several
ilmes during tho bout, but he couldn't reach
,Vlllard'8 jaw without tho aid of a step
ladder, lll&ll LIGHTS OF BOUT
Tho section reserved for tho newspaper
men was ono of tho most popular In tho
place. Mora than 200 porsons wore crowded
around tho ring and Borne were regular
reporters.
Pat Moran camo In when tho gates wero
opened, took a seat at a tabto near tho
ring nnd stayed thero until tho show was
over. Muggsy McQraw also was present
and tho pair of managers plckod up some
good stuff which can bo used when tho
pennant raco becomes closo.
Benny Knuff, one of Jack Dillon's pals,
occuplod a box In tho field and led most
of tho cheering. Benjamin wagered $2000
on Dillon's chances and seemed Jubilant
when tho battlo waB over.
Thero was a long delay before tho final
bout was put on and tho principals did not
appear until ncdrly 11 o'ctock. Tho dolay
was caused by an announcement that tho
moving picture prlvllego had been sold for
$10,000. Moran Insisted on getting $4000,
and ho got It.
Joe Bush, the well-known pitcher for
our Athletics, was among those present
In tho grandstand.
Habit Is a curious thing. The quiet In
habitants of Brooklyn were bo accustomed
to watching the ball games last year from
other places besides the grandstand, that
they climbed on roofs, telegraph poles and
trees to take a look at tho proceeding last
night
Colonel Roosevelt was not present, but
his private secretary, John W. McOrath,
occupied ono of tho expensive boxes. Ho
was the guest of Mr. Joseph Hagen, who
once was known as Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien.
TY COBB SCORES
ON SINGLE FROM
FIRST ON HUNCH
GeorgiaPeach Tells of Fancy
Base Running Against
Athletics
Ty Cobb, telling of some of his experi
ences on tho diamond In tha current Issue
of tho Baseball Magazine, recalls how ho
scored from first base on a slnglo. Here It
Is In his own words:
"In a gamo against tho Athletics Heveral
years ago, when I was on first some one
hit a rather long slnglo to ien neiu. i naa
taken a big lead. I had a hunch. I started
with the pitcher's wind-up motion nnd
dashed for second. I was nearly to tho bag
when the ball was hit I was half-way to
third when the outfielder had tho ball In his
hand.
"As I neared third I saw Baker standing
somo half-dozen feet away with his .back
toward me. He knew that ho didn't have
a chance to get mo and was taking things
easy. The ball was already on Its way
to his waiting mitt When I am going at
full speed around the baseB my mind usually
works faster than my feot. It la natural,
so It Is no credit to me. But in such cases
I always seem to bo more clear-headed
than usual and keener Blghted.
"Possibly, being keyed up for the play
and working at fast nervous tension has
something to do with It. And In such cases
I always have my oyo on the ball. If any
thing happens to that ball I am ready to
tako advantage of it
"Now there didn't seem to be anything
the matter with tho ball which was shoot
ing In from left field. Baker would have
It In a fraction of a second. It looked Im
possible to score. And yet as I neared third
base I got a hunch to try for homo. It
came Into my mind like aiflarih, and I oper
ated on It automatically. I remembered
Jennings, who was coaching at third, held
out his arm to stop me, but I brushed by
him and dashed for home.
"It looked like a foolish move, but I fol
lowed the hunoh and won out. Why? Be
cause Baker dropped the ball. I don't think
he saw me at all, so lt-wosn't a case of
being rattled by an unexpected play, I be
lieve he was merely taking things easily,
perhaps a bit carelessly, But the main
thing Is my hunch was right. I scored
from first on a Plns-Ie.
"It Is plays such as these whloh do more
to demoralize a defense than a home run
with men on bases."

WIIKN all Is said nnd done, It's tho
llttlo pdtt, putt that counts In the gamo
ot golf.
Shots may come nnd shots moy not, but
It's always tho llttlo putts that do tho
dirty work.
Tho present championship of tho city
looks like a battlo ot puttlnR. Tho matches
today aro In good hands, nnd tho winners,
'most eery tlmo pro 0 to bo tho golfers with
tho putt.
It was the most cold-blooded and hardest
of putts to mnko that tool: away tho cham
pionship crown from Hugh WllIoURhby,
which ho had worn tor a year, and which
ho won lait year In most com Inclng stylo.
Putting Is nil that kept over Harold Mc
Farland for tho matches today.
Lack of putting made Edward Clarey look
hopeless In his matches. It has decided
nearly every event of Importance. Good
players aro generally up for tho same putts,
and It Is tho golfer that doesn't fizzle his
tricHlers tlint taKcs nom mo j"
prlzo.
Burton Puts Out Chnmpion

to tho 18th tec. and It was freely predicted
that It ho ever let Wllloughby take the
match to tho 13th hole, Burton would bo
tho loser.
Wllloughby, champion, with his crown
flapping Its wings to fly away, made tho
effort of his llfo.
His drive was Just exactly right, while
Burton topped his shot not 20 ynrds from
tho too He punched an iron shot from tho

llhnd played thrco before tho champion had
played his second, wiuougnoy rouou uum
to tho right and had to mako a 12-foot
putt. Burton was only flvo feet away. The
gallery held Its brenth after Wllloughby
missed his three.
Tho representatives ot tho press sank
their teeth In their writing pads.
They hail a train to catch.
Tho fair sex under tho trees stopped
knitting.
But Burton boldly faced the putt.
Ho had put up a great fight and should
ho loso now? , ...
Should he roll up to tho lip of tho cup
and hang there?
Should ho hit tho ball too hard nnd Jump
over?
Was he nbout to roll too much to tho
left?
Or dotto to tho right?
Good Heavens 1
Was ho about to sink tho putt and bo
hailed on every side for tho hero ha would
be In conquering tho Philadelphia cham
pion? J
These wero n rcw or tne inougms no naa
as he bent over tho last agonizing shit.
He waggled.
"Shall I hit It next time or waggle again?"
he oflked himself.
Suddenly all went black. Ho had taken
the fatal step. He had cast tho die and
hit the ball.
A mighty cheer rent tho sky as the ball
went down.
The press leaped for tho wires to spread
tho news broadcast.
All this on nccount ot a llttlo putt.
A putt ot severor Ilk saved the bacon of
Harold McFarland In his match with
J. J. Young. On tho samo green he had a
long putt for the match. It was over un
dulating curves, enough to try the bouI of
any golfer. He used all his skill, scorning
a straight line to tho hole. His putt wan
