Moran Has an “Outside” Chance of Winning Over Willard Here March 17. Sewrright, 1916, by The Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Frening World ) HE fuming and fussing is over. Willard and Moran are matched at last to fight ten rounds in NeW work City. Tex Rickard is the Promote.

Moran has been working, 90, for Frank intends to make this set He'll become champion or Knocked out. At least that’s the way his friends figure It. There'd b Uttle jn ft for Moran if he boxed ten Founds without result, for Willard 1 @Oing right out with a circus after fight—if he wins—and Frank "t get a chance in a longer fight for a long, long time. If Moran could win he'd make a fortune ‘within a year, for he'd be tremendously popu- Jar. If he could overcome the great handicap in size and weight—over- eome it by sheer grit and fighting iveness and punching power, be regarded ns another John L. ivan. And a John L. Sullivan, tn these days, could make a million dollars in a short time, 'T'B idle to deny that ? oran has a chance to win. He's too hard a puncher to be overlooked, Any man with a real wallop has a chance 4m any fight. See what Dillon did to big Tom Cowler the other night! Gowler was punching Dillon’s head off, when—WHAM! Ivillon Janded a cold knockout. Moran might be able to do the same to Willard. No man is invul- nerable to the right punch ianded on right spot. $¥et the same (ime Moran's chance is only the chance of an outsider trying to break in. Wlard will outweigh him fifty pounds. Pewillard is nearly half a foot taller. ‘He has nearly a foot longer reach, from tip to tip. “He is just as clean @ hitter as Moran. He is cool and delibe Moran. His defense is excellent. When roused he is terrific. Willard, hurt, is ten times as dangerous as Willard unhurt. Hitting him is like taking a sledge hammer to a stick of ‘@ynamite—likely to result disastrously to the person doing the hitting. FEW words about Tex Rick- ard.
