PICKS WILLARD
TO WIN BATTLE
Joe Choynski Does Not Look
For Knockout; No Real
Champion
HBjfeSF
JOB CHOYNSKI
Special to the Telegraph
Pittsburgh, March 11. Joe Choyn
ski, contender for the heavyweight
championship from 1884 to 1904, and:
| the only man aside from Willard who
knocked out Jack Johnson, says Wil- !
lard should beat Moran, decisively in ,
1 their coming fight.
"I don't look for a knockout," says ]
Choynski. "ten rounds is a short dis
tance. Still 1 believe that Willard will
pile up such a big score on points as ,
to leave no room for dispute. Moran
is earnest and ambitious. lie is as*
game as any man that ever followed
the. glove game for a livelihood. He
is a hard hitter and is always trying i
hard, but he lacks the finish of a cham
pion. |
"Willard is so big that Moran will
not lie able to reach the champion with
any kind of a blow that would be ef
fective. I don't think he can even
shake up Jess. I don't want to cre
ate the Impression that I consider I
: Willard a wonder, or an unbeatable
champion, or anything of that sort.
For 1 do not. Par from It. Every time
l look over the crowd of present-day
heavyweights, and compare them with
: the men who fought in that class in
the old days. I have to turn away in
disgust. They're a huge joke the
whole pack of the them. Willard is,
not a real champion nor a great tight
er." I

Special to the Telegraph
Washington. D. C., March 11. —j
America's predreadnaught fleet would '
I go over like ninepins if pitted against
British or other craft of the same age, ;
Captain W. S. Sims, commander of the
new superdreadnaught Nevada, told the j

fire, he said, until her skin below the I
armor belt, no thicker than a man's i
hand, was exposed to gunfire.
The turrets of the Kentucky and the j
lvearsaige were so designed, he de- I
elared, that four twelve-inch shells j
could enter the gun ports at one time;
the sloping roofs of the Connecticut >
class turrets were built to withstand I
j short range direct fire, and were no j
| better than paper against modern j
plunging fire; the turrets of the Illinois )
i lass had a gap in the armor at the i
back of the turret six to eight feet
wide, directly in line with the annnuni- I
