MORAN WORRIES
FIGHT BACKERS
Plays Clever Game in Order to
Bring Increase in Cash
Offer; Others Waiting
Speelal to the Telegraph
New York, Fob. I.—Frank Moran is
a sharpshooter so far as making
matches goes, and unless Jack Curley
kicks in with more pie, his strangle
hold on the Willard-Moran bout will
ikid.
There is a real reason for Moran's
clever management, for "Ike" Dorgan,
his manager, is a shrewd fellow and
when he feels that they are putting
the pace past him, he walks over and
interviews T. A. Dorgan. and if there
Is anything about the boxing game
that "Tad" does not know, why the
Patent Office will not enlighten you.
Curley is" one of the greatest pro
moters of the flstic game; he ranks
with Tex Rickard and Jimmy Coffroth.
He tied up Jess Willard until March
1. and then waited for Moran to come
and get the bait. He waived aside all
other offers, thinking Moran must
come galloping along and accept
terms.
Moran Backers Shrewd
Moran has a clever clan with htm.
They figured that there was no one
left for Willard to fight but Moran.
They realized that Willard would be
panned if he took on Jim Coffey or
Gunboat Smith, and they pointed to
the Fred Fulton match as an exam
ple. Moran, however, could meet
Battling JLevinsky, Jack Dillon or any
one of a dozen heavyweights and his
chances with Willard would not be
harmed.
The idea of starving Moran into
submission looked bright to the Wil
lard coterie, bflt as each day goes by
and Moran does not show the slight
est interest, the Willard set, particu
larly Curley. is beginning to guess and
fret . It will only be a short time
and Curley's contract with Willard
will expire, then the pack of promot
ers, among them Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, will go after the big fight.

Greenawalt, of York, Is Star
Shooter; Light Leads in
Total Points
Few changes took place in the
standing of the players of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania basketball league
last week as there was but one con
test played off. York, the leader, de
feated Steelton, the tail-ender, by a
29 to 21 score.
Greenawalt, the York center, by
tallying 23 points, resulting from five
Held goals and 13 fouls boosted hit
total to 82 tallies in four games. This
is a trifle better than Harris' record
of 40 points in two games. As a re
sult, the York pivot man moved into
second place. Snyder, the Reading
forward, still tops the list with 69
counts fti three contests.
Dayhoff, of Steelton, jumped from
tenth to seventh position by making
17 of his team's 21 points against the
York five. The all-around Steelton
athlete now has a record of 4 3 points
for the four games that he has par
ticipated in.
Captain Light, of Lebanon, is the
league's leader in the total points
scored. He has a record of 92 counts
from the guard position. Seventy of
these are from the fifteen-foot line,
and he has participated in seven con
tests, while Greenawalt, of York, his
nearest competitor, has played in just
four games for a total of 82 counts.
Central Has Good Average
Central comes in for honors with
an average of 37% points scored per
game, and heads the list. Tech has
averaged a little over 34 points. Hon
ors come to the Maroon squad in field I
goal scoring. Coach McConnell's pro
teges have made 56 points from
field in their four league games.

contest and looks a poor last. York 1

ARMANDE LAVERGNE
Quebec, Feb. I.—Armande Lavergne, the great Nationalist leader among
the French In Canada Is outspoken in his sentiments against Erench-C&na
dlan enlistments to aid England In the war. Lavergne says the French in
Canada should not enlist until they receive their rights from England, that
the French-Canadians owe nothing to England and have twice saved Canada
in wars.
Small notice, it Is said, is takpn of Lavergne's opposition, due to the fact
that the Canadian Government does not wish to give the Germans the op

Present indications are thai the

the general opinion here, that the big

George H. Sutton the handless wond

Efforts on the part of flght pro
