Maloney, after knocking out Holm, won a bout from Emmanuel Jacob- who gave him a hard fight, cs- lly in the first round. All the winners received silver cups from the Spartan club. The American boxers will sail for New York on the Frederik VIII. on Thursday. In the three tournaments the American athletes have competed they carried off the honors in eight of ten bouts. Spengler is the only invader who met with defeat. Spen- gler lost both his bouts in this city. The best showing was made hy Maloney. Local critics think the Phil- adelphiaian one of the best amateur boxers they ever have secen in Den- mark. Maloney, according to the writer of one of the local papers, will prob- ably turn professional on his return to his native land.

New Orleans, March 28.—Taking advantage of ragged pitching, the a rare quality. But without the rest of the tools it gets you little but a tloody nose and a sable eve. That is about all Moran's courage got him. He would have collecied the $26,000 without it. If Moran is the next best man—and he probably is—Willard is so far be- vond all real competition that oven the highly commercialized in- stincts of Jack Curley and Tom Jones should have the nerve to start another affair. What's the Use? What's the us Here is a cham- pion fifty or sixty pounds heavier than the next real contender; a | champion who is faster, stronger, | more skilful and fully as enduring: who isn’t a great champion because he lacks the fighting instinct of his pLrofession, but who has a placid sort of courage that will take much and not a sure knowledge of superiorit The man who beats Willard in the next vear or two must be a big man nd a good boxer: a keen Ting gen- eral, who can take punishment and who can hit; a man who knows how to use his fists and feet in a skilful way. Where is he? Answer: He isn't. The Lone Shadow. There is now but one shadow above Willard's gloom. That Is surplus fles| He fought Johnson a vear ago weighing 2 pounds. He put in five weeks reducing for the Moran fight. He started weighing 272 pounds in his clothes, which means about 262 pounds stripped. After filve weeks of hard work he finished weighing 259 1-2 pounds at Tingside. In those five weeks he was able to take off exactly 2 1-2 pounds. On the night of the fight he looked about as he did five weeks ago. The thick rolls of meat were still there. On Ahead.

And it would be no great surprise to see this happen. No heavyweight champion yet has retircd unbeaten Jeffries was going to quit, and so Johnson. But they both came back that one time too often. Yet Wil- lard may be the first to break this taw of the game, especially as he doesn't care for the sport. When he begins to find what a job he will have slipping below 270, he may turn the crown adrift and volun- tarily resign the sceptre. will | or two years The Champion, in condition, has put on fifteen pounds in a vear. An- other fifteen pounds by 1917 will do more toward crowding him out of the frolic than all the heavyweights in the land, tossed into onc big heap. The Financial Side.

A dinner was served to the party by servants who appeared to be in the employ of Ramos and the evening was proceeding pleasantly when Ram- os and Mark excused themselves on some pretext and withdrew into the rear of the apartment, leaving the three guests in a room overlooking the street —Two ¢ Hold Up, Hardly had the two boys left tae room when there was a noise at the door and three shabbily dressed young men came in, drew revolvers, covered Alvarez, Ladin and Corea, and quickly went through their pocke From Mr. Tadin they got $500 in cash, a dia- mond of four karats, diamond PAT MORAN, MANAGER Philadelphia National League Cham- pions, Praises ALLEN’S FOOT-EASE “Training Camp, St. Petersburg, Fla., Mr. Allen S.
