JESS LEADS IN FIRST ROUND Follows Up Advantage and Also Earns the Homors in the Second Period. MORAN HAS A SHADE IN THIRD NEW YORK, March doors of Madison Square garden opened late. A jostling erowd, im- patient at the delay, poured through the runwaye in single file, tickets in hand. - The big hall filled slowly. The galleries, so close to the roof that a tall man standing tip-toe could have touched the rafters with his finger tips, were packed tight long before thre bare spots on the floor began to disappear. The faces in the galleries, bal- conies, boxes and theends of the big oval floor blurred into indistinct splotches of white in the glare of the big mercury lamps above the ring. In frail-looking perches, swung from the rail of the second balcony, the moving picture men focused their cameras on the ring. The preliminaries began, but for all the crowd cared the boxers might as well have been pummelling each other in their own backyards. The spectators were in- XL/ 256.—The terested only in the big bout and they | , were willlng to wait. Ola Champs on Hand. John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett—all one-time ' holders of the heavywelght championship—had seats close to the ring. Among those holding box seats were: J. P. Morgan, Reginald C. Vanderbilt, | “Diamond Jim" Brady, David Belasco, Enrico Caruso, Lindley M. Garrison, W. Coleman Dupont and Mayor Curley ot Boston. There were scores of women in the great throng. Some sat in the arena | boxgs, but mostly they were in the bal- confes. Jess Willard was the first to enter the ring, climbing through the ropes at 9:87. He was accompanied by his manager and chief second, Tom Jones, and seconds ‘Walter Monahan, Jack Hemple and Ray Archer. Willard appeared to be exceptionally cool and at ease, and tripped scross the ring to shake hands with Frank Moran, who arrived three minutes later. Moran wi seconded by Willie Lewis, Frank Kendell, Bll} McKennon and Joe Kelly. The timekeepers were, for Moran, Joe Considine; for Willard, Harry Welss, and for the club, Dr. Muth. Willard Enters Ring, Willard wore soft bandages, in sharp sontrast, and extended well above his wrists, He was clad around the loins by heavy red worsted tights, while Moran ware dark green trunks of a sim- liar texture. While the two heavywelghts sat in their corners, Bob Fitzsimomns, J. J. Corbett, Kid McCoy and John L. Sullivan wore introduced in turn, the last of the quartette being given a tremendous ova- tion. The former ring stars shook hands with the principals of the big bout. During these ceremonies Moran appeared an- noyed and nervous over the delay, while Willard leaned back on the ropes and smiled a noncommittal smile, He fre- quently looked across the ring to Moran's corner, but the challenger appgared to avoid the champion’s eve. At 9:49 Referce Charley White entered the ring and called the two heavywelghts to the center of the ring to plck their five-ounce gloves. The official welghts were announced as: Moran, 201%; Willard, 258% pounds. Referee White took the principals to the center of the ring at 9:54 for final in- structions. First Round Willard Round 1-Wilard jabbed Moran in the face with a left and later retaliated with three blows to the body which Wil lard blocked. Moran hooked a Willard's jaw and took three left jabs to the face in return. Moran swung right and left to Willard's neck and receivel a hard right in the body. Moran missed a right and went into a clinch and Willard tore lose and landel a right and left to the head. Willard, smashed him a terrific left in the face, dazing the challenger. Moran swung wiidly with right and left, but Willard (Continued on Page Two, Column Two.) The Vfiaather Forecast till 7 p. m.
