MORAN WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO MEET WILLARD. IStayed 20 Rounds Against Jack John- son in Paris. The arri rshores and announcement that he intends to force Jess Willard into & bout for the heavyweight champion- ship adds a little new interest to one ifeature of the boxing game which had almost been forgotten. A similar an- nouncement from any other member of the white “heavyweight division would occasion only passing notice, !but Moran seems to have some justi- |fication for his demands. Further- !more, the challenge came out in the most matter-of-fact way and was not the result of any managerial bluster. Moran lasted 20 rounds with Jack Johnson a year before the big black 'lost his title to Willard, and this in it- 'self is sufficlent reason for his demand ‘of & match from Willard. It is on the ability of Johnson that Willard's claim to distinction rests, as he has done nothing worthy of note previous to his affair with the black champion. It is not to be supposed that Johnson did not go back some extent during the interval between the Moran and ‘Willard bouts. If Moran's feat in staying 20 rounds with the champlon is unworthy of notice it is only logical Yo assume that it was not a great feat %o drop the big Texan a year later. Difference in the Bouts. It is true that Johnson outpointed Moran by a wide margin, but it is also true that Willard ran second to the big negro on the finer points of the game in the early rounds of the battle Bt Havana. Had this affair-been lim- ited to 20 rounds, instead of being a long distance affair, Johnson would undoubtedly have gone about his work in a different manner and the change in tactics might have brought the negro through the 20 rounds with a verdict on points, just as in the battle Wwith Moran. The fact that Moran lost to Johnson in 20 rounds om points can hardly be offered as a real reason ‘why he is not entitled to a match with the present champion. The battles were fought under different conditions mnd Moran uses logic in pointing out these differences. Moran was not seriously regarded during his boxing career here pre- vious to his recent sojurn in Europe, but the same might be said of Wil- lard’s early career, or up to‘the time of his battle with Johnson at Havana. Both matches were looked upon by the majority of fistic followers as sure victories for the black champion. But fortune surely favored Willard in the mrrangements for the bout. The gen- erally accepted post mortem of the Havana fight was that Johnson was about ready to fall before the first strong man who met him. Moran found 20 rounds too short to turn the trick in Paris and Willard had the same difficulty in Havana. But the second match went beyond the 20- round mark and the extra time proved all that was necessary. Had Some Good Bouts. Moran has put up some creditable bouts in this country, the most notable being with the late Luther McCarty and with Al Palzer. There is no deny- ing that Palzer was not himself the ast’ time they fought, but he had pre- took from the Pittsburger. Moran has shown unquestioned game- ness in several bouts, he has the welght and strength needed for hard fghting and he carries a fair amount of science. Certainly he is not over- burdened with a resemblance to the ityle of Corbett, but none of the pres- snt day heavies is burdened to amy great extent. If Moran is sincere in his statement that he will prove his right to a battle with the champion by removing Ml the other challengers his ultimate thallenge to Willard will carry all the ore weight, and public opinion will e strong on the side of the red-haired ittsburger. Willard will have a busy time ignoring Moran under the con- litions. As the only real line in de- iermining the relative merits of these wo heavyweights Willard can hardly jJass up Moéran on the ground that, le is not:worthy of consideration, » The water in the Panama Canal-is “radually becoming salty. captained by Wilson, -the Yale foot- ball Mahan will play the outfield and act as reserve .pitcher.

Miller of Stonington will play third and Manager Hughes is scouting for a_fast shortstop. Raymond Wheeler will cover the left garden, Norman Standish, the Perdue university cap- tain, will play center and Dink Hol- land will play right field. Ashley Oney will act as utility. It is the intention of the Sachems management to give the public the best team that Norwich has ever had. The officials and directors are men of standing and they intend to ac- complish what they say will be done. ENTRIES FOR CONN. A. U. MEET CLOSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT id and Track Meet id.

The manager of the Taftville Slug- gers wishes to make the following statement about Sunday’s game. They had a _game scheduled with the Trim- mers Sunday and expected to play the Trimmers, not a picked up team from the East Ends and Emeralds He also wishes to state that he can’t see how the East Ends and Warriors’ game was forfeited to the East Ends without either team show- ing up on the fleld. He wants the president of the league to look into | the matter. Griffith Will_Pitch First Ball. Boston, Aug. 16—Clark _Griffith, maneger of the Wi gton American League team, will appear as a mem- ber of the Boston Nationals for a mo- ment when the team plays its first game on Braves' fleld next Wednes- day. President James E. Gaffney of the Braves announced tonight that Grif- fith would pitch the first ball in the game with St Louss and that Manag- er George T. Stallings of the Boston team would catch. It will count of- ficiallv as a ball or strike, he said. Griftith, a former pitcher, and Stall- ings, e catcher in other years, are close friends. Tennis Opens On Casino Courts. ..Newport, R. I, Aug. 16.—With one exception, tennis plavers of rank sur- vived the opening rounds on the Ca- FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS UNSETTLED. Trading in Ward lssues Drafted Other Parts of the List. New York, Aug. 16—Further furious manipulations of the war shares at higher prices, relative heaviness in investment issues and utter demoral zation in the markets for foreign ex- change were the conflicting features of today's session of the stock ex- change. Trading in the war issues completely overshadowed the dealings in other parts of the list, United States Steel being the only former favorite to manifest activity and strength. On a very large overturn, ranging in individual to between 1,000 to 4,000 shares, steel touched 76 5-8 or within 1-8 of its top quotation of re- cent years. New high .records were scored by American Can at 64 3-4, Pressed Steel Car at 67, Westinghouse at 118 and Studebaker .common and preferred at 120 and 106 1-2 respectively. The ex- treme gain of Studebaker common, for the day was 20 1-2. Numerous other stocks in the same. class added two to six points to last week’s final quo- tations, with recessions to- ward the close. ‘Coppers recovered from their recent lethargy. their advance of one to three points being stimulated by reports of large sales of the refined metal to foreign interests, presumably the al- lies. Railways were under persistent pressure until the final hour, when a recovery in he gxchange —markets caused inquiry for the Pacifics and other dividend payers. Total sales aggregated 970,000 shares. ‘The feature of greatest unsettlement ‘was the decline in remittances to Lon- Italian points to new low records. Demand sterling fell to 4.64, a drop of five points from the low of week, Paris checks quoted at 6.00, a loss of ten cents and lires at 6.47 registered a break of 8 cents from last weei. These rates rebound- ed sharply in the final hour on an- nouncement that our bankers were holding a conference to bring about remedial measures. News bearing upon the financial situation dealt with another advance in prices of manu- factured steel and iron and crop ad- vices from the west and southwest confirming last week's favorable re- ports. London sold moderately in' this market of the international list all 3uo issues showing distigct heaviness road. Bonds were irregular with heavy trading in New York Central deben- tures. Total sales, par value, amount- ed to $3,500,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
