Tells About His Circus Career | and Why He Sticks to Saw dust Enterprises . -V-. ■ H & llPp^E^ MS CA&CxeNI Special to the Telegraph Xcw York, March 7.—While much j has been said and written about Tex j Rickard, Tom Jones, Ike Dorgan and j even Frank Moran and Jess Willard, all connected with the big fight to be staged on March 25, comparatively little about Sam McCracken who with Rickard is promoting the bout, has been put before the reading public, j The other day McCracken took a few minutes off to tell a newspaper man all about himself. "As a boy," said Mr. McCracken, j "I lived about a hundred and fifty j ; miles outside of St. Louis. My father j j was in the horse and mule ' business and at the age of twelve I used to take two and three carloads of cattle into the St. Louis markets. Later we moved to Kansas City, but dad re mained in the same game. It was the horse business that first brought Tex 1 and me together and ours has been a I friendship of many years. Joins Big Circus "I was twenty years old when 1 I joined the Ringling Brothers. That's I just twenty years ago," he said with a j faraway smile. "For ten years I 'acted as the general representative for j them, but for the past six years I have i devoted my efforts to the Barnum & i Bailey show, acting as manager. "I have been trying to get out of the game, but somehow the Ringlings i want me to stick. To be honest with j | you, I am not absolutely certain about J it now. I have been in every city In ! America, and Canada with a popula- j | tion of 5,000 and up." i Therefore aside from his personal j land financial support, Rickard could | ! not have chosen a better partner for j ! McCracken's practical knowledge and } practical experience with crowds is equal to anybody in the country. He' I has been in charge of the ticket sale almost exclusively and counts up with I i the treasurer each evening. To as-j ; sist him he has two old circus men, ; Fred de Wolf, who is known as the fastest hard-ticket seller in the world, and Chick Bell. LOCK WOOD OCT FOR SEASON' IVtin Relay Athlete Throws Out Shoulder and Sprains Tendon Philadelphia, March 7.—The chances i for the University of Pennsylvania I varsity track team to win the one-mile ! relay races at the Meadowbrook games i Saturday night are very slim with the injury of Joe Lockwood, who will be ; lost, to the team for the remainder of i the indoor season. Tn the two-lap re- i I lay event in the intercollegiates on! j Saturday in New York, Lockwood, ! [ running second for the Red and Blue,; was jostled on the turn coming intoi the homestretch. He lost his stride! and in trying to get hack into position ! threw his left shoulder out of place, and a'«o sprained a tendon. Lockwood ; was leading at the time of the accident and continued running the remaining fifty yards with his arm hanging atlliis side.

Reading's victory over Lancaster! Saturday night gives to them the rec- j ord of nine victories and one de- \ feat. ' Central is determined to put a crimp j Reading's winning streak, and also tie i up the league race. The best that Central can do now \ is to llnish the race a tic with Read- 1 ing. This can only be accomplished j by Central winning all home games and Steelton defeating Reading at Steelton. Strenuous practices are being held this week by Central. Coach McCord will give the Central tossers no let up. The cheering section for Central will be out in full force and a big time is expected. A large delegation of root- , ers is expected from Reading, and ar- j rangements are being made for their accommodation. A dancing program has been arranged for after the | game. Right Hand Punch to Be Moran's Best Bet New York, March 7. —In the opinion ! of a veteran observer who watched j him box with sparring partners at "Dal" Hawkins' roadhouse, in the Bronx, to-day, Frank Moran is much quicker in his movements than Jess I Willard. He also is faster with his! hands and more nimble on his feet than the champion, but he does not \ employ any better defensive tactics"" than tho big Ivansan. He fights just as open, but there the resemblance ends. Willard is strong for left-handed pokes. Not so Moran. The aspirant for the heavyweight championship has an abiding faith in a right-hand blow. So had John L. Sullivan, whose style Moran suggests. Moran has nothing but contempt for the left-handed lighter. TO ORGANIZE HALL TEAM Members of the Mohawk Club met I last night in the John Y. Boyd Me | inorial building to organize a base | ball team for the coming season. Cal- I vin Frank, Harry Keelliauver and Harry Rensei were appointed on a | sporting committee to select players and to complete preliminary plans for the games.

According | to former managers who were located 1 in Reading, it is a big lob to land i a team unless there is a guarantee that the team will be a pennant win- i ner. John K. Tenor, president of Ihe Na tional League predicts a successful sea-1 son for baseball this year. He be-1 lieves that every league in the coun try will make money. Harrisburg: was mentioned by President Tencr re cently as one town where baseball Will be a big paying investment this i year. Harrisburg light fans are not risk-I ing much money on the result of the: tight between Jess Willard and Frank j Moran. One wide-spread opinion is that the fight will go the limit for a| public decision. Moran has appeared! little in print, and liis ability to put' one over on the champion has not ns yet been demonstrated to the satisfac tion of his admirers. In many cities the fight is looked upon as a big joke. Sam Langford, better known as the j "Boston Tar Baby," is the only heavy- ! weight who has never been knocked j out. Neither has he won a champion- j ship, but has been up against the best i men in his class. Langford began in j 1902 when he won from James Mc- Vicker In three rounds. Since that l time he has been raking in the cash I by meeting all comers. He has knock- j ed out some of his opponents and has won many battles on decisions.
