FRANK MORAN MA Y WIN IF HE
CAN MAKE JESS WILLARD MAD
Fans Hope Pittsburgh Fighter Will Arouse Champions
Anger; Danger in Wild Swings
By Frank G. Menke
Xew York, March 16. —The natives
are yearning: 1o Jess WHlard with
a "mad' on. They've heard so much
about what he would do under such
circumstances that they have become
.Missourians in their attitude. They
are hoping that Frank Moran biffs the
champion often enough and hard
enough on the 25th to cause him to
become fearfully vexed.
"If Jess Willard ever gets mad"—
"You've heard it—and so has every
one else. And you've heard it so often
(bat you've grown a bit curious,
haven't you? It's the alibi offered by
Willard's handler* every - time someone
accuses the title holder of lack of ag
gressiveness.
Awesome Picture of Champ
We've seen Willard in two of his
biggest fights—but never once have we
seen him wearing a "mad." He was
provoked quite p bit in his bouts with
Carl Morris and .Tack Johnson, and
given sufficient cause in each for be
coming just awfully angry, y'no. But
we've never witnessed the spectacle of
a mad Willard.
Those associated in the management
of the champion paint some fearful
pictures when they describe what Wil
lard would do when aroused. They
are pictures that reek with gore: that
show many wounded and dying; pic
tures that should strike terror into
the heart of any man who must face
Willard.
Willard, when mad, must be a more
awe-inspiring sight than a Chinese
typhoon; more terrible than a bat
talion of Cannibal Island braves on a
warpath; more powerful than Goliath
of ye olden days, and—oh, well, Jess
must be quite a youth when he's mad.
Hanger of King Fury
However, an infuriated Willard
might be easy prey for a ring foe. If
his actions were prompted by rage, he
would forget ordinary ring caution, his
acquired science and everything else
but the one thought—to crush his
rival.

THURSDAY EVENING, EARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH STARCH 16. 1016
| And that's where the danger for
i him would lie if his opponent were a
j man who had what is commonly called
j "a noodle.'' A maddened tighter leaves
j himself open in a dozen ways and
passes out golden opportunities to his
enemy which, if seized, may win the
j battle for the man who keeps his head.
| A clever fighter alwa>"s tries to taunt
| his opponent into a fit of rage. He
realizes that, moved by such a passion,
! the other fellow will forget discretion
and ring skill and will rush wildly in
jan effort to "kill" him. And that's
what the clever man wants.
A rushing, maddened fighter has no
! poise, no Judgment, and but little
| chance to win. If he lands a wallop,
! he may flatten the clever boy—but
i how often have you seen a wildly
I swinging fighter shoot home a solid
wallop?
Mad Ones Swing Wildly
The mad batter swings—and the
other fellow ducks. The mad one puts
everything in that swing—and what
happens? If he misses, he's off his
balance—and the opportunity for the
other fellow presents itself.
If Willard, moved by rage, hit. Aloran
with a 260-pound punch—and hit him
in some vulnerable spot—the fight
probably would end right there. But
if Willard missed, threw himself out
of control, what do you think Moran
would be doing?
Willard is the slower of the two
men. If he started rushing Moran, he
would rush himself into a wijided con
dition. He probably would charge in
with his guard down and his head low
—and Mr. Moran has a punch, man;
quite a punch.
There' danger for Moran, of course,
"if Willard ever gets mad." But there's
just as much red light for the cham
pion. So it would seem that the bet
ter plan of the Willard trainers would
be to refrain from feeding him raw
meat. 'Twould make him savage and
dangerous—but it might rob him of
the necessary caution.
HARD PRACTICE
FOR LOCAL TEAM
Windup Battle Between Cen

row Night's Bill
Players of both the Central and
| Tech basketball teams are reported to
be in fine fettle for their final game
to be played on the auditorium floor
to-morrow evening. Each team needs
1 a victory to give them further honors.
A defeat for Central will throw them
; out of the running for the Central
j Penn honors, while a defeat for Tech
i will doom them to the cellar position
' for the season.
Both teams have been put through
strenuous practices during the week in
preparation for the contest. The Ma
roon players feel that a victory over
Central will square matters for their
failures in their last ten games.
Reserves Will Play
| While the first teams are battling
I for honors, the Reserves will have a.
.struggle all their own. In their first
contest the teams had the spectators
lon their feet from the first to the
I last whistle, and the Tech lads finally
| nosed out a 36 to 35 victory. Follow
| ing these two games which will be
under the auspices of the Central man
agement, there will be a special pro
l gram of dancing. The probable line
up will be:
| Central. Tech.

The sudden drop in temperature I
put a crimp in Southern baseball
practice yesterday. As soon as the
cool breezes were in evidence Connie
Mack sent his squad to cover. The
Phillies had a short practice, but did
not meet with the same temperature
at Jacksonville, as was in evidence at
Charleston.
Fight fans who attended last night's
show at the Orpheum theater criti
cized the local management for per
mitting Charlie Kessler of Philadel
phia, and Franklin Baker of Brook
lyn, to go into the ring. These fighters
were not only unfit for an exhibition
but if reports were true should not
have been admitted to the theater.
The referee stopped the battle in the
second round. It was said that
Baker injured his hand.
The New York State boxing com
mission is threatened with a break,
because of recent actions of one of
its members. At a meeting yesterday
Jess Willard was given permission 1o
give training exhibitions without
charge. Contributions will be received
at the gate. The majority of the
; commissioners claim that the attacks
on the Willard-Moran light promoters
| were not jusl4lled.
The Y. M. H. A. quintet of Harris

ketball game, and are showing a pace
that places the local five up in tlia
list, of big winners. On Tuesday night
