Jess WHlard, champion pugilist of the World, clearly demonstrated to the satisfaction of New York fistlo pa- trons his superiority over Frank Mo- ran at Madison Square Garden Satur- day night. imost 18,000 persons representing New Yori's society and sporting ele- ment, saw the champion bhttér and bruise and ell but knock out his light- er opponent. Moran was outclassed. He could neither penetrate the de- fence of Willard nor were his blows of sufficient force to cause worry, let alone injury. Willard. it was announced after the fight, broke his right hand in the third round. -This was given as the reason he did not knock out Moran. There must have been a deal of truth in this statement, for on several occasions had Williard used his right hand more often he certainly would have knock- ed out his opponent. Excepting for the first two rounds, Willard won as he pleased. Moran was_too short in his punches and too weak in comparison with the massive Kansan to gain the upper hand, once the champion elected to take the ag- gressive. Few of the large crowd were pleased with the entertainment. At times the bout became so tame and listless the crowd set back apathetical- ly and wondered if that was what they bhad paid $25 a seat for. The crowd paid approximately $150,- 000 to see the fight. It was the great- est gathering Madison Square Garden had ever seen. Many women were in the_throns. Moran put up a game fight.

Willard jab- bed with a left. Moran countered with a left hook to the jaw. Moran in a mixup smothered Willard’s punches and lgpded two nice ones to the face i without a_return. Jess made Moran miss, but Moran came back strong and forced Willapd into a corner and landed three punches to the head. Wil- lard fought defensively and wasted most of his strength smiling.

Two Hours’ Session of Stock Exchange Barren of Interest. New York, March —Today’s two- hour session of the stock exchange was barren of interest. Trading was :ighter and more narrow than usual, and the heavy undertone was due to & combination of circumstances includ- ing further adverse news from abroad and the cusiomary week end settle- ment of open contracts by the pro- fessional element. Prices were confusing at the outset, but became irregular later, closing with numerous net losses, none which were especially substantial, ex- ecept in the specialties. Studebaker, Crucible Steel, U. S. Industrial Alco. hol, Mexican Petroléum and Mercan- tile Marine preferred were lower by 1 1- 2to 3_points, and such reils as Reading, New = Vork Central and Southern Pacific, which bolstered the session of the preceding day, averaged one-point declines. There were few neutralizing fea- tures. For instance, General Motors, which made up some of its recent se- vere decline by an advance of 33 points to 485, Harvester corporation, which rose 4 points, and 1 to 3 point ad- vances in Maxwell and Willys-Over- land, the fertilizers and American Writing Paper preferrcd. U. S. Steel and other former leaders were altogether neglected when not under marked restraint. Dealings in Steel were exceceded by half a dozen other issues, some of which often fail of quotation for days at a time. Total sales of stecks amounted to 245,000 shares. Foreign exchange rates were irreg- ular, francs making a slisht recovery from yesterday, while sterling and marks eased, the latter, however, hold- ing above the mid-weel's minimum. Reduction of activity in stocks was reflected in the moderate contraction of loans by clearing house institutions and reserves decreased slightly over $7,000,000. Today’s bond market was slightly irregular, with activity and firmmess, however, in Anglo-French fives. Total sales, par value, $1,550,000. STOCKS Sales High. Igw.

Willard shot a mght upper cu to the nose. Moran fetaliated with a right to the stomach. Moran left eye was opened and the crimson flowed from a wicked short right de- livered by the champion. It was Wil- lard’s round. Fifth Round. Moran's blows seemed to have no ef fect on the “champ” and he apparently did not_know what to do. Fn a short mixup Moran landed righ¥ and left overhand swings to the head, without any effect whatever. It did not even seem to Wake up the champion. who was fighting slowly and, cautfously. Willard’s fabs again frustrated the at- tempts of Moran. Willard refused to try when Moran rested. The fight de- veloped into a tame and uninteresting affair. ~The champion gained the up- per hadd through sheer strength. Wil- lard’s round. Sixth Round. Willard again let go with an upper- cut that just missed its mark as Mo- ran was stepping from a clinch. Mo- ran tried his wild swings, but was most _ineffective. Willard appeared to be measuring his smaller oppSaent and in fact let go with a short right cross that jarred. Both men were fighting s0 slowly that the crowd ndarly dozed off. Jess got to close quarters and punched Moran about the body. Moran could not land at all and gcted as if afraid of his bigger opponent. No dam- age was done in this round. Ot was all Willard's. Seventh Round. Willard opened the seventh with a battery of punches hitting Moran on the body and the head, landing at will, and almost putting away Moran. Mo- ran’s eve and face were badly batter- ed. Willard quietad down just as it seemed he was about to score a knock- out. Jess was absolutely ugprotect- ed in his eagerness to score a knock- out. Moran covered well, but could ndt land a blow in return. Willard attered Moran, hammered him with rights and leftg' Moran suddenly woke up and landed three right swings to Willard’s jaw, but they had less effect than the cheering crowd thought. It was Willard’s round, with Moran as- simflating terrific punishment. Eight Round. Willard jabbed and clinched. He jab- ted again without return.

Moran came out of his corner with a rush and swung with both arms, but ais enarby stopped there. Willard con- tinued to jab to the face. Frank made a_terrific effort to get through the chanipion’s deftnce, but without avail Willard confined all of his deeds to his piston-like left hand. As Moran missed a right swing Willard hooked a short right to the face. Willard cleverly dodged Moran'd best blow, an overhand right. Crowded into corner, Moran_ tried to flight his way out, but only received punches in the stomach. Just before the bell Willard nded three right uppercuts to the face and won the round Tenth Round. The men shook hands for the final session. Willard opened up fast, jab- bing Moran, landing six times without a return. Moran practically help- less as far as ability to land on the champion was concerned. Apparently Willard did not care about knocking out Moran, as he put no power behind his punches and did not follow up his openings. Notwithstanding it was the fnal round, neither man steamed up appreciably.

New York, March 26.—Chafley White of Chicago and Matt Wells of England were matched here today for a_fifteen round bout to a decision, with Edward Smith of Chicago as referee, at Kansas City on April 6, WILLARD LEAVES NEW YORK. Champion Takes Away Nearly $40,000 —Considers Moran a Strong Fellow. New York, March 26.—With his right hand bandaged, as the result of an in- jury to the index finger, and nearly 340,000 in big bills carefully stowed somewhere about his person, Jess Wil- lard, the world's heavyweight cham- pion, left here this afternoon. He ex- pects to join his family at Chicago some time tomorrow and to rest until the last week of April, when he will begin a six months' tour with a cir- cus. Speaking today of his bout with Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar- den, Wiilard said “Moran is a_ great, strong fellow, both clever and full of courage, but I think I would have knocked him out Mast night had I not injured my right hand early in the fight. The doctor says I will not be able to use my right hand for at least two weeks. As to fighting Moran again or Fulton, or any other challenger, my manager will have to attend to that matter. I am will- ing at any time to defend my title and will be ready whenever arrarngements Walter Monahan, one of Willard's trainers, accompanied the champion, who did not show a mark from last night's contest. Moran was up early this morning ana recetved many callers at his hotel, ‘The Pittsburgh man's face was puffed and his eyes discolored from Willard's left hand jabs, but he was cheerful. He was unwilling to admit that Wil- lard beat him and claimed that if the seventh round had ~ gome a_ minute longer he would have knocked out the chgmpion. “I want another go with Willara,” said Moran, “and would like it to be for twenty rounds or more, as I am not at my best in a ten round bout. In six weeks' time I will be ready to meet Willard or any other big fellow they matoh with me. Belleve me, 1 am not going to remain idle, as I know 1 _possess every requisite to win -the championship title.” promoted the Tex Rickard, who bout, sald today: “dy ‘partner, Samuel McCracken, and I are satisfled with the result. The sale of tickets unted to a little over $150,000 and this might have been increased by fully $15,000 had we been able to sell tickets to hundreds who could not get.through the police lines. I have no intention of promoting asi- other contest in the near future, as my business interests demand my go- ing to South America early next menth. As for matchlng Wiliard again, I am inclined to think that he will not fight tuch more. By the end of this year Jess will have acquired quite a sum of money.

I've got enough veter- ans to serve as the foundation for my new machine and among my new boys are some rattling good plavers to re- place the missing parts. So, watch us closely this season. We may spring a surprise.” Connie, however, is almost alone in his bellef that the Athletics will finish better than seventh or eighth. The consensus of opinion is that the out- fit_ he will head in 1916 will be too “green” to make any real showing. Looking over the roster of the Ath- letics reveals many unknowns. in keeping with his policy of other vears, Connie hasn't purchased the high priced talent from the minors. In- sead, he has gone out into the high- ways and byways and_ picked up youths from sand lots and college dia- monds. The pitching department will be the weakost. Its makeup for regular whrking purposes is uncertain just now, but the tip-off is that the follow ine five will carry the brunt of the Ath- letic defensive burden: Joe Bush, a good pitcher, but not a tional ‘pergormer. off,who is improving Hght along. ressier, young and erratic. much to iearn be- fore be can become a Star.

If the Athletics had a great pitchin, staff, it mizht carry along the patch up infleld and the only ordinary out- field. Or. if the outfield and the infield were powerful, both offensively and de- fensively, they might sweep the pitch- ing stafl through to victory. But there is too much weakness in every depart- ment of the Mackian machine for even the staunchest Athietic rooters to con- cede it better than seventh place in the ent that out of youngsters I real stars,” Maybe he can in that way.

' Oldring has been fading and as good as he was in the bygone feels that he is far better than any of the youngsters picked up since last season. Walsh, Olding and Strunk are good fielders, but t¥eir batting eves seem dim. McInnis will be on first, with the aged Lajoie on second. Shortstop and third e, however, are Mack’s big problem: He has a bunch of candi- dates for the position, but none of em have shown anything marcel- dus. Crane, however, has the call for the shortstopping job, with Healy and Ritter leading the others slightly In the bttle for the honor of being reg- ular third baseman. Malone, who was with the Athletics last vear, will continue as Lajoie’s understudy. Emeralds Trim New Havener: At the V street armory mantic, Friday night the Emeral feated the Humphrey A. C.
