While away Moran fought twenty rounds ith Jack Johnson, losing the decl- sion, and knocked out Bombardier Wells in ten rounds for the cham- pionship of England. “I'm home without any plans, just at present,” said Moran. “In a gen- al way I'm filled with a determina- tion to get some money, I'm ready to fight any heavyweight in the country, from Willard down, and I'm not pick- ing my opponents. The better they are the better I'll like it, I weigh 200 pounds, am tn good health and condi- Uon, and don't need to worry over the result of any fight I get into, “I prefer Willard, of course, but 1 suppose he’s making a lot of money and won't think of fighting any one for a while. I'm glad he's making it. The fellow who whipped Johnson de- serves all ho gets. I'd like to be the fellow who did it, but that doesn’: make me jealous of Willard. I hope he'll have all the luck in the world~ , Wntil he fights me. Then I'll be pull- ing for little old Frank Moran. “I saw Johnson in London when he came back from Cuba, and asked him what he thought of Willard. I told him I hoped to get a match with Willard myself. Johnson turned to me and said: ‘Boy, if you ever get im into a ring you'll beat him. That's all I have to say.’ “Johnson may be off in other ways, but I never heard any one say he didn't have good judgment. I'd like to fight Willard and see if Johnson ‘was right.” "HEN asked about the time he had, an opportunity to wrest the world’s championship from Johnson in Paris, Moran looked sium. “I didn't have Willard’s chance,” he said. “Jess bad all the time he Wanted to wear Johnson down, and 4 was only a matter of going along until Johnson was ready to collapse. ~1 bad only twenty rounds. I had to burry. In the last three or four rounds Johnson w too weak to fight, but he was able to stand me off with his extended left arm, and to block and clinch when I got past it. I was cut and bleeding, but fresh and strong at the start, What I lacked was time. Five rounds more would have been enough, and I'd Save been champion of the world,’ “Johnson trained a year for my and at the last moment he re- sone’, to Ant dalese I would frame ‘ee to lie down, Three di Before the fight he went word to me Ww come into town for a meeting.

F the racing stewards officiating I in the stand here let the race run and won by Reybourn y terday go by without an Investigation they are not alive to their duties. This is the opinion of many who saw the startling performance, Viewed from any angle there Is no excuse that can ba made for Reybourn’s per- formance a# compared to the race he eran Saturday last, Neither can much [explanation be made for the form reversal of Conning Tower, through which Reybourn was enabled to pull ur to him, It is a question which horse did the worst form somersault, Last Satur~ day Reybourn ran in a four-horse race and finished in the rear, beaten twelve lengths, eight of these by the third horse, Coy Lad., Conning Tower had won his last three races in the easiest possible manner each time by several length Yesterday there was every reason in the world for his be: ing a 1 to 3 and equally wood reasons for Reybourn being 10 to 1. No sensible person with the slight- est knowledge of horse form could think of playing Reybourn under the conditions, But, and here's the ugly part of it all, Reybourn WAS played by a select few and a regular old-time killing made on him. select few seemed to know the re sult of the race in advance, judging by the way Reybourn was played to 4 to 1 at post time, ‘The race looked too bad to be true, Conning Tower off in front, as usual, ran in that position until after he got around the far turn, but he didn’t open the same rap on his field for jockey Byrne as jhe did for rner in bk other races.

Luther Hopes to ,Win Title From } Chapple Fred Luther, the Western speed |phenom, who challenged Arthur Chap- |ple to a match for the championship of the world, will begin tuning up this afternoon at the Brighton Beach Motordrome in preparation for to- morrow night's matches. Those famil- iar with motorcycle racing in the West say that Luther is the probable contender for the honors. From his home town of Fort Worth comes the information that he was a pupil of the late Eddie Hasha, who held the world’s board track record of 873-5 seconds for one mile. Luther con- tends that he can equal that figure, and possibly better it, due to his light weight, only 110 pounds. Further- more, the Westerner is using the same motor in his machine that Hasha used in shattering records several years ago, and that also caused the latter's death in Newark, The other feature at the drome to- morrow night will be a fifteen-mile open professional race in which are entered Franz Krebs of Germany, George Mercier of Brooklyn, Stenha Quaccinelli of Milan, George Hamil- ton of Buffalo and Bill Brown of New- ark, —_—_——— FEDS WON'T INVADE BOSTON NEXT YEAR, BOSTON, Aug. 11.—The Federal League magnates who have been here looking over the situation and sounding out sentiment for a third league club in this city have decided that Boston will have no Federal League club in 1916, President Gilmore sald to-day: 1o Federal League club for Boston. e're far from convinced that Boston is good Federal League territory, oF that it is ready to take care of a third big league team.” Hine Federal moguls will Inspect the Braves’ new park, now nearing comple tion, to-day with President Gaffn acting host.
