It was an exhibition of gameness, and the real heroism of the whole af fair was that Moran carried out his part without a murmur. There was nothing for him to gain and every- iiing for him to lose. He went through with it and gave the specta tors their money’s worth, for he did most of the forcing and made the fight. Few realized that the fight was as good as c am eled Wednesday morning. Moran’s handlers knew he was really unfit to enter the ring and wanted him to call tin affair off. He said. "No." Few Morans in Ring. \g-iin in the evening he heard the receipt* were only a little over $3,000. According to his contract, he was to rec eive a percentage on sfll over $4,800.

Now comes the real test for the Giants, when the Western h-ams in the National League journey East this week for their first intersectional series. The stiffest c ontenders for fhe pennant are bound to come from the West in the Pittsburg aficl ('liicago clubs. After all the four Western teams have made their Eastern visit, there i nfl v he something to tell about, the finish of the race. Outside* of the Giants. Chicago and Pittsburg will find little opposition in the East, ex cept possibly in Philadelphia. Boston and Brooklyn will in* weak-kneed against the charging Cubs ami plunging Pirates, and it will be* an excellent chance for one of these two clubs to open up a lead. T' VERS has shot out ahead with lib ;i question of pitchers with him. Mi.-in any club in the* league, but they have not met any finished pitching. I’lie Pirates, who have a collection of twirlers that look very good on pa|ier,* have not receivesi any effective box work, all I he* men lieing off form. 'Tills is practically the stiffest pitching the* Cubs have encountered. The Chi cago batters have easily cIuIiIxmI their way through the* pitchers on the Cin cinnati and st. Louis clubs. But when tin* Cubs hit the East they will meet able pitchers in lnith New York and Philadelphia, with one man. Nap Rucker, delivering a good game* in Brooklyn. The pitchers on both the Giants and Phillies are much further advanced in their work than the twirlers on the Western clubs. McGrnw has six pitchers in good con dition now. while the* Philadelphia staff is in tiptop form. The batting averages of the Cubs are liable to shrivel up a little* bit when the stick eis meet up with sonic* real twirling. team in grand style, but as soon as he drills into tin* East it is going to be The Cubs have been hitting the Dal I very hard so far this season, herder not one of them had finished an entire game, but the team has lieen winning on its robust sticking ability, pound ing out victories by big scores. Now. if Evers’ pitchers do not improve and tin* t’ubs meet good twirling in the East, they are liable to strike a slump which may fumble them off their perch. If they do slump, the pitch ing staff will i*» the cause of their downfall. I OOK at —* angle. I wirlers hav so far. Fc*i the* thing from the other None qf the (’liicago <* shown phenomenal form • a long time* this season HE case of Pittsburg is slightly different from that of Chicago, but the outcome of the impending Eastern trip will have a large amount of iitfiuoiice on the Pirates’ chances. Clarke has an excellent pitching staff. No one denies that. But it is like* a powerful engine which is run ning on only a clyinder or two and not firing very strong on these. The twirlers are all out of shape. Hen drix started the* other day and could not find the plate. Adams went in and was no better. Pittsburg is a club that will come like a house afire along in July or August, but it con ditions slowly. What (Uarke needs most now is pitching, competent and able. If In* fails to get any worth while on this Eastern trip, his team may be crowded back so far that by the time it is in good health there’ll be a long road to travel to overtake the leaders, whoever they may lx*. The Giants* are not sorry to see the Cubs beat Pittsburg now, because we still figure the Pirates to be our strongest rival for the pennant, and the further back they are crowded, the longer spurt they will have to make in the middle and at the end of the season. The team is bound to come through eventually. The ability is there. V Wattut"! <au return in rhe aiatue. the Pirates should give the; Giants a hard battle for the flag, j Reports conflict on the Dutchman’s | condition, but it is doubtful whether \ he will be able to play for a long time, if at all. That will hurt Pittsburg, because the infield is badly damaged with him out of It. The Giants do not expect the Cubs to hold up, and 1 figure the Pirates will be the boys to | beat. Therefore, the Chicago victories j now are not troublesome. • Copyright, 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.!

Veteran Jimmy Clabby still ranks as one of the greatest middleweights in the game to-day. Last week the Ham mond hoy held Eddie MeGoorty. claim ant of the middleweight championship, to a draw at Denver in 10 rounds, after nearly all the critics in the Middle West had picked Eddie to heat Clabby. Clabby has a wonderful record, hav ing met nearly everybody of any ac- coufot in his division.

How would you feel if you owned a business and that was worth $100,000 and knew that a ’soup' ped dler was hiding in the basement try ing to hand you a McNamara high ball?” Thomas Jefferson McCarey's an swer when asked if he was feeling .« bit nervous. The Browne bill, aimed to kill box ing contests in California, is to be taken up again to-day in Sacrament** The fate of the game should be know n inside the next few hours. As McCarey, together with Pro moter James W. Coffroth, of San Francisco, practically controls the whole world so far as ehampionshi;i contests are concerned, it will be seen that he is not padding his assets when he mentions the mere sum of $100,000. ‘‘I can not believe that the sport will be legislated out of the State.” said McCarey to-day. "For ten years we have handled it here in so clean a. manner that the enemies of the game. 99 per cent of whom never witnessed n game, have been unable to say a truthful word against it.” It is learned from a reliable source that the city of New Orleans would welcome McCarey in case the boxing game is killed in California. Twenty-round contests are now permissible in Louisiana, and the Crescent City wmuld become the logi- <*a 1 championship battleground with this state closed. Tommy Walsh, nltmager of Jo** Mandot, the Southern lightweight, had a few words to say concerning the New Orleans situation. "We are to start twenty-round box ing bouts down there this month.” said Walsh, "and the sports have been frank in demanding that the game he handled as it has been handled in California for the past ten or fifteen years. They want championship con tests. McCarey and Coffroth as pro moters have been freely mentioned along Canal Street." Also there exists the possibility thai McCarey might go to New York and take a hand in the ten-round thing. STOVALL IS SUSPENDED. CHICAGO.
