PORT i The trail that winds out from the Willard-Moran exhibit may point in many directions. In case of a draw, or anything ap- proaching the same, loud, boisterous cries would rise immediately for a return battle at New Orleans, South America, Havana or some other fav- ored spot, where twenty rounds or more can be employed to give the correct answer. If there is any argument at all as ‘0 Which man finished first, a return longer route will be a This same arrangement would hold true in case Moran should outpoint Kansas Jess. If Moran should win Ly any sort of margin, barring a knockout, the roar for a return con- fest would be all the louder. A Willard Victory. The odds are about 3 to 1 that Wil- lard will be the most hishly prevalent factor in this contest, and if Jumbo Jess knocks out Moran or outpoints him by a number of strides the heavyweight situation will have to with Mr, Willard’s services some time. If Moran, a game, aggressive, hard- hitting, 200-pound Irishmen, is un- able to make any showing against | Willard, why dig up another victim? Moran, next to the champion, is the best man in sight. To match Dillion with Willard would be u joke. The only good it would do would be to satisfy Al Thomas' desire to see a printed story of a battle be- tween a giant and a dwarf, wherein the giant wins, In fiction Dillion would have a picnic with Willard. No big man in nction could ever hope to overwhelm one some eighty pounds lighter and und a foot shorter in stature. But in the Ting it would be another watter. A Dillon-Willard match is too much of a farce to be even thought of. Nothing Left. No, if Willard overpowers Moran there will be very iittle work for the champion for some time unless Fred Fulton comes along. Fred is almost as big as Willard, and he proved in his batlle with Moran, it beaten by Willard, could still face a busy career. Ile could be used to prove the exact worth of Jack Dillon. And he could also be Fulton is a certainty as Willard's next opponent if Moran fails to give the big fellow an cven dght. Nothing to it. Amateur vs. Pro. Dear Sir: I wonder why they can't cut out all this bunk about Amateurs and Professionals? Kvery one knows what it is absolutely impossible to trame any just and intelligible rule. And, moreover, every one Knows | that at the bottom the distinction be- tween the two classes is only another form of the well known alibi. If a man is better than you are, he is better, and that is the end of it. Whether he puts in more time at practice, or he has money, or what not, may be one reason why he wins. But the real underlying reason is that he is a better man at that game. You | can't make a swan cut of a duck for 211 the money in the world. GHEORGE T. PAYZANT. (Westport, Isles of Pines.) The Winner, If there are any cups to be given for a world series promoting | championship, Tex Rickard should have them all. Any financier who is willing to offer $70,000 for a ten-round affair and is then able to collect over $130,- 000 for the same is so far in front that the next man back of him is in fifth place. Rickard is neither a gambler nor a promoter. He is merely a genius cr a wizard, taking your own pick.
