“Wise”” Fight Followers Expect

Willard-Moran Affair to Last
the Limit of Ten Rounds.
By Ed Curley.
EW YORK, March 8 —Gentle
men! How would you like o
bet on the big fight? Now, this
i no appeal to lay down a piece of
emall change to back your choice, but
just an appeal to find out how you are
feeling about the big battle.
Will Willard win the popular deci
sion, or will Frank Moran get the ap
proval of the fans? That's the ques
tion.
Have you a sneaky feeling that Wil-
Jard will slip over the crusher before
the ten rounds? No? Then, do vou
think Moran will startle the world by
slamming Big Jess hard enough to
shake the crown off his dome? You
don’t? You absolutely are confident,
then, that the bout—no fight, remem
ber—will travel over the scheduled .10
minutes?
Well, if you have decided just what
the outcome of the $70,000 joust will
be—again, how would you bet om it?
A gentleman at a race course one
bright afternoon passed the remark
that if any gentleman didn’t back lis
opinion with real money that gentle
man had no right to an opinion. The
gent who spilled ‘all this wisdom was
rather seedy on the general make-up,
but you can’'t get away from this wis
dom.
. - -
THPIREI"'RFT. a few days ago we
meandered up and along the
Bright White Way to find «ut just
what the boys thought of the big
slamfest. Their principal thought, we
discovered quickly, was how they wero
going to stand the shock of letting
loose of big yellow boys to see tlj
athletes mingle, The “take” is o large
that many will be absent that sve
ning, but, nevertheless, they take more
than a passing interest in the show
On these no-decision bouts very lit.
tle betting takes place, which is prop
er and saves the game. On this im
portant bout, however, everybodyv has
his little opinion and is willing to
back it up with some simoleons
As far as we could get the “info
all hands believe that the bout wi'l
last out the scheduled ten rounds
Their belief is so strong that they are
willing to back it up with even mone:
Regarding Jess Willard leaving the
ring at the end of the tenth with honors
all his own, they will lay vou a little
1 to 2 that such happens. As to Mo
ran earning the popular verdict, oi
the consensus of newspapers, they will
bet you 8 to 5 that he doesn't
- . -
WHH.\' it settles down to talkirg
of a knock-out, they kind of
draw in their wings and don’t harbor
an idea that such a catastrophe eonld
occur. They will even go so far as to
bet you even monev that no knock
out graces the evening
If you persist and declare that Wil
lard will surely flatten Moran for bHo
ing so daring as to box him., you can
get 3 to 1 from the hoyvs that Willard
doesn’'t do the trick On the other
hand, if vou are a fond admirergf the
big Pittsburg blond, and feel it M your
hones that he will dron Jess for ‘he
count, you can get 6§ to 1 for what vou
care to wager
When yvou touch on the matter »f a
knock-out, the entire bunch rises on
its hind 'egs and demands
“Who'd' any of those buvs knock
out? Who'd they ever knock out?”
“SBure Willard flattened Jack John
son,” they shout. “but did he do it
in ten rounds? Y'can bet he didn't
Did he ever drop anyv real good bat
tler in ten rounds at any time in his
Hee?”
o .00
w ELL. vou have to admit the hovs
were right on Willard
“But, then, what about Moran, didn't
he flatten Coffey twice? thev laughed
“Flatten Coffey?” one fat fellow
chortled “He flattened him one al!
right, but the next time he scared him
to death Y''don’t think Willard is
Coffev, 4' vou? Why, Maoran wnon't
be ahle to get a decent awipe at that
big fellow All Moran will be domg
will be to keen backin' up duckin
the Willard left That'l! keep him
busv.”
There's the general opinfon of the
abilities of the two men that are 2n
Ing to box ten rounds for $£70.000 14
course, “the boyvs” may be all wronge
on their dove, for they slip up now
and then But they're a wise lot at
that, and you get more stringing with
them than trying to play the “copper
on.*

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
CRACKERS UNIFORMS TO BAFFLE BATTERS
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
HEN t he Crackers are bhe
decked in their new home
uniforms, they are going o
be the whitest things outside of a
screen drama filmed in Chilkoot Pass
at the height of the winter season.
Not even a letter is going to mar the
pristine purity of the Atlanta war
garb, and there's a reason for all th's
simplicity in the Cracker coler
‘scheme.
" If you happened to take a flylng
trip down te Valdosta, where some
}several Cracker pitchers are working
out under the fiaglo eye of Harry Mat
thews, you will notice that the stocky
catcher has every one of the flingers
employing a delivery with the pitch
started while the hurler's back s
practically turned to the plate. There's
a reason for this, too, and the reason
is mgihty close kin to the reason for
the white uniforms.
Some several seasons ago big Otto
Hess was laboring on the pay roll of
Manager Frank. The Teuton noticed
that the big left-hander was starting
his every pitch while he was fflved}
about, and the manager also nnticed“
that big Otto was getting away with
it in splendid shape. o,
Frank asked about the delivery.
Hess explained as follows: The ball.
Is white, the home uniform is white!

T’HE manager was interested, but
* not convinced. Back in ais
playing days he had been the proud‘
possessor of a batting eye. With this
eye working, he had piled up a ma]-‘r‘
league record that has never been ap
proached. He had rapped out 35 suc
cessive hits. And the batting oye
hadn’t dimmed, though the manager's
body had grown to an extent to pre
clude further playing. He thought he
would take a look at this backward
delivery of ancient Otto's,
| Frank grabbed his stick and he in
structed Otto to pitch. The big man
ager looked at a few coming from
bebind that white uniform. All he
saw was a blur. |
And that's the reason that Frank
decided on the pure white suit for the'
Crackers this season, and that's the|
reason that Matty is working, and‘
working hard, teaching the about-face
pitch to the Cracker hurlers. "Bhe
Dutchman expects to see real results
from the work.

Cracker club,
Few pitchers won the admiration of
fandom as quickly as Kelly did lut‘
year when he came to Atlanta from
Notre Dame University and bvegan
setting the league on fire. For there
was a little more than just ball player
to Kelly., He carried a personality.
The little southpaw was always the
’victim of wretched support here. But
it didn't worry him. It made him
lpn.ch all the harder, and when the
|("rackers refused to hit in runs beh:nd
'him, he hit them in himself.
Jim Callahan's action in releasing
him comes as a surprise. Most peo
ple in this section looked for Kelly to
‘make %ood with a rush in the bhig
show, and there isn't a person who
doesn’t- belleve that he can continue
to make good down here.

HARR\’ MATTHEWS is flirtiag
with the bosses of the Mont
gomery <lub in the Sally League for
# managerial berth there. Montgom
ery could go a lot further and fare a
lot worse.
There is still a lot of good baseball
playing left in Matty and as for man
agerial ability, he has every indication
of possessing it in bunches.
Certainly he knows enough base
ball, and if tireless work and un
bounded enthuslasm count for any
thing, Matty should prove a wonder.
FANS LAUD PAPPAS IN WORKOUT
| Lirtle Greek Is B f’fff';C/mflF;r:
LEFT HOOK JIMMY’S BEST PUNCH
By Harry Lewis.
IMMY PAPPAS entertained quite
J a gathering of boxing fans at
Frank Whitney's gymnasium in
the Metropolitan Club building yes
terday with a sharp work-out that
took in boxing, weight lifting, rope
skipping and bag punching, at the
end of which all those present were
willing to admit that Jimmy is a
much improved glove wielder over the
lad who showed here last year.
Pappas went at his work in a very
businesslike and impressive manner.
During his boxing grind with Young
Britt and a couple of local boys,
Jimmy shot his punches home
straight, and when the occasion war
ranted he hooked his left over with
much force. Jimmy also keeps mov
ing in and out while working, which
makes it hard for his opponent to hit
effectively. At times he adopts the
same flying tactics that have made
Johnny Dundee famous in the game
of hit and get away.
. - -
AF‘TER watching Jimmy train yes
terday and having watched him
in all his bouts here, I have come to
the conclusion that Jimmy’s most ef
fective punch is a left hook, which he
shoots over from most any angle. It
was this same blow that stopped Kid
Underwood here on two occasions and
made Stump Goodwin quit cold, Jim
my has a way of bringing this wallop
to the body and jaw with one sweep,
and these blows, when landed solidly,
are bound to have their effect.
If Pappas can hold his own for the
next six months with the best ban
tams in the country, I look for him
to hit the top of his diviston. His
only drawback at the present time is
lack of weight. Jimmy can easily
make 112 ringside, and at this figure
he reigns supreme; but it is doubt
ful if he is good enough to whip the
best 116-pounders.
- - -
JIMMY seems sincere in his belief
that he can, and he told me yes
terday after he finished his work-out
that he would prove it to his Atlanta
friends nexs Tuesday night. To do
this Jimmy must get at least as good
as a draw with Pal Moore, the South
ern bantamweight champion, and a
boy who helds victories over Kid
Williams, Johnny Ertlé and Pete Her
man. This is the task that confronts
the little Greek -on Tuesday night,
and, kind readers, this is some job
for any of them.
Moore to-day ranks as one of the
“Big Three” of the bantamweight di
vision, which includes Johnny Ertle,
Kid Herman and himself. Of course,
some may claim that Frankie Burns
deserves a chance among the best of
them, but Frankie has already had
two chances at the title, and failed
both times to annex the honors. Be
sides, Frankie is well along In years,
and, it is doubtful if he will ever get
another chance at the title.
- - -
OF the above bantams, Moore ap
pears more willing to fight than
any other, He has a $5,000 side bet
tor either Ertle or Williams, but both
[nf these boys have made it their
business to shy clear of the Southern
lad. Pal took a trip to New York with
\hls manager, Joe TLevy, and made
every effort possible to drag one of
these boys Into the ring, but no pro
moter lin New York or Philadelphia
was successful in landing Pal a match
with either of them.
Moore's victory over FErtle was a
decision affair. This scrap was staged
ATLANTA, GA.
in Memphis right before Johnny won
over Kid Willlams, in St. Paul, on a
foul. It was on the strength of this
victory that Moore secured a bout
with Kid Williams. In this bout Pal
floored Williams twice, and, accord
ing to reports, handed the Kid quite a
lacing, but the no-decision clause Wil
liams had Promoter Haack insert in
the articles robbed Moore of the ver
dict. g
. - -
PAL also received the decision over
Kid Herman in an eight-round
mill at Memphis, in a bout advaertised
for the Southern bantamweight
championship, which just about
pr?ves that Pal is at least as good, if
not better, than any other 116-pound
er in the country,
It is this boy that Pappas is going
up against in their coming set-to, but
he is not worrying. He already has
encountered Pal on three occasions,
and he says he knows what he is
going up againgt. All Jimmy wants
is Pal to make 116 ringside, and at
this figure the little Greek doesn’t fear
any boy in the country,
o I
ALTHOUGH the main bout will at
tract most of the attention from
now untll the night of the gong, Har
ry Downey, acting for Frank Whit
ney, yesterday closed an eight-round
semi-windup between Young Feld
man, the Macon slasher, and Ray
Kirk, the classy Pittsburg feather
weight. Kirk is now under the man
agement of Johnny Glynn, the boy
manager, who did much to bring Bat
tling Budd to the front. The winner
of the Kirk-Feldman scrap will go on
with Budd at a later date.
- - .
BESIDES this serap there will be
three other bhouts between the
best local boys securable. Young
Britt, Kld Lewis, Kid Bafley, Young
Nelson, Greek Blondy, Bobby La Roux,
{Jack Denham and Bud Connally are
all anxfous to show,
Tickets for the bouts will g 0 on sale
this afternoon at the Rex, Tumlin
Bros, and Chess's place. The show
will be a popular priced affair, the
pasteboards selling for 50 cents to $2,
ringside.
Pal Moore and his manager, Joe
Levy, are expected in Atlanta to
morrow. They probably will arrive
here by way of Chattanooga, where
Levy has some business affairs to
take care of.
