NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Postpone- ment of the Willard-Moran fight for at least two weeks on account of the heavy cold from which the champion is suffering, appears al- most a certainty.

Rickard, promoter of the bout, was loptimistic when he saw the news- |papermen today id scouted re- ports that Wiil illness may | force the complete abandonment of | the battle. Announcement of Willard’s de- sire to postpone the fight came last night when he called up Jones by telephone and said he feared he would not be able to get into condition by March 8, the date set by Rickard. He said his cold was pretty severe and his general health none too good at present Press dispatches from Chicago suggested that Willard might even | Insist on the abandonment of the battle until such time as he can get into better condition.
