World Results & By Leased Wire CASPER CAGE. FIVE DEFEATED By Lone Point in Friday Game. THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Feb. 15— Thermopolis high school's ball tearm defeated the Casper high school five here last night 15 to 14 after a close, hard fought game. Neither team showed particularly brilliant basketball and the scoring was light. Casper evidently entered the con- test overconfident as the first half ended Thermopolis 11, Casper 3. In the last half the visitors got going and made a game out of it. Kelly, substitute forward, and Davis, capain, were the stars for the visitors. Casper Lined up with Davis, Blod- gett and Kelly at forwards; Over- baugh, center; Gibson and McKelvey guards, By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—(United Press.\—When it was taken into consideration how many times Charley White had been stopped and when the caliber of the fighters who did it were recalled, it was not unnatural that Pal Moran, the New Orleans lightweight, should have been rated as the fighter next to Benny Leonard when he knocked out the veteran Chicago lightweight. Perhaps it Is still a fact that class next to the champion, Leonard is in no more immediate danger of being ejected from his throne room than Jack Dempsey is. Strong as he is at 135 pounds. cool as he ts under fire and punch- ng as he can with his right hand, Moran showed in his recent fight with Johnny Dundee that he has yet to learn how to beat a clever fighter with a brain. Moran was outwitted by Dundee Against the feeble puncher that Dundee is known to be, Moran, if he had enough mental agility, should have torn into Dundee with ® willingness to take a tantalizing left hand for the chance to counter with his right hand. Moran didn’t do that, however. His mental sluggishness permitted Dundee to fight just the kind of a fight that Dundee wanted to fight. It's hard to beat a brainy, experi- enced fighter who is allowed to fight his own kind of a battle. it Moran fought his real fight against Dundee, if he was not sick, as he seemed to be, he has no chance to beat Benny Leonard. For several years at least Leonard is not to be beaten by an opponent who permits the champion to fight his own way. To make Leonard fight any other way ts something for a very brainy fighter to accom- plish and Moran does not seem to qualify as a brainy fighter. Granting that Moran did make a very creditable showing against the champion a year or more ago and with a willingness to admit that Moran may have improved more in the interim than Leonard has, yet it would not be reasonable to con- tend that Moran has any advantage over Leonard by reason of their first meeting. On the other hand, it might be argued with a lot of sound logic behind the argument that Leonard ‘was thé) one who would come out of the fight with the ad vantage that he might have and must have learned a lot more about Moran in that fight than Moran learned about Leonard. eee For the sake of argument it will be recalled that Lew Tendler came mighty close to beating Leonard when they met the first time in a no decision fight in New Jersey. Had there been a decision, given after that fight Tendler: in justice could not have been given worse than a draw and he had Leonard on the verge of a knockout. — 104 GOLFERS IN TOURNEY AT SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 15— Under a sunshine which made sweat- ers a burden, 104 leading profes- sional and amateur golfers of Amer- ica were perspiring this morning through the first 18 hole leg of the 72-hole Texas open champion- ship match here.

Westbouna No. 2: PAL MORAN LACKING IN BRAINS; SAFE, SAYS FARRELL BENNY IS ‘When they were training for their ‘second fight in New York more than & year later it was natural and rea- sonable to assume that Tendler would not do worse than he did when they met the first time and that he should do even better if he was mentally qualified to pick up some learning from his first fight and tempermentally fitted to gain a little confidence. On the contrary, however, it was Leonard and not Tendler who reaped all the benefit of the first meeting. It was who learned Tendler's game and not Tendler who found out how to beat Leonard. The champion gave Tendler such a beating that he did the very un- usual thing by admitting that he never could beat Leonard and an- nouncing that he wasn’t going to try any more. Tendler at the time when he met Leonard in New Jersey and again when he faced him in New York was a better fighter below the shoul- Cers than Moran is today. He was just as rugged, perhaps a little more tough; he was faster on his feet and could punch straighter and harder than Moran. Previous to the Dundee fight it was thought that Moran might have better mental qualifications than Tendler had when he was bidding for the title but that contention has been shown to be wrong. In attempting to speculate on what Moran might do against Leonard this summer by what Tend- ler did two years ago, it must be considered that Leonard may not ‘be as good as he was then. Leonard, however, is not at the age where time is a factor of great importance. He is young and he has been taking care of himself. He may not be the Leonard of three or ‘our years back when he has to make 135 pounds, but if he were Moran, we would not figure on being the next champion simply be- cause Leonard might. not be good at the weight. If Johnny Dundee could smother Moran's right hand, tie him up into kn and make him look foolish, Leo: could do the same thing as long as he was strong enough to hold up his hands and Leonard, even if he has to weaken himelf to make 135 pounds, is not going to be so re- duced physically that he will have to be carried into the ring. The DundeeMoran fight was accepted by some critics as @ con- test that should decide the next opponent for Leonard in a cham- Pionship bout. It would have been a legitimate “decider” if Moran had won, but as it turned out it proved only that Leonard is in a class by himself Moran would have been the legiti- mate contender for the title if he had beaten Dundee, but Dundee did not show any right to a champjon- ship bout by beating Moran. Dundee is still able to go. He is one of the wonders of the game, but he ocouldn’t go far with Leonard with the kind of a fight that he has to fight néw. | Sport Calendar Racing.
