JOSTLED AT FIGHT
Impatient Fans Show No In

in Crowded Hall.
SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED
furores of Women Are Scattered
Throughout Vast Throng Last
$25 Tickets Are Soon Sold.
Door Opening Delayed.
NEW YORK, March 25. The doors of
Madison-Square Garden opened late. A
jostling crowd, impatient at the delay,
poured through the runways In single
file, tickets in hand.
The big hall filled slowly. The gal
leries, so close to the roof that a tal
man standing tiptoe could have touched
the rafters with his finger tips, were
packed tight long before the bare spots
on the floor began to disappear.
The faces in galleries, balconies,
boxes and the ends of the big oval
floor blurred into indistinct splotches
of white in the glare of the big mer
cury lamps above the ring. In frail
looking perches swung from the rail of
the second balcony the moving-picture
men focused their cameras on the ring.
Many Celebrities Present.
The preliminaries began, but for all
the crowd cared the boxers might as
well have been pummeling each other
in their own back yards. The spec
tators were interested only in the big
bout and they were willing to wait.
John L. Sullivan, Bob IT itzsimmons,
Jim Corbett all one-time holders of
the heavyweight championship, had
seats close to the ring.
Among those holding box seats were
J. P. Morgan, Reginald Vanderbilt,
"Diamond" Jim Brady, David Belasco,
Knrlco Caruso, Lindley M. Garrison.
General W. Coleman du Pont and
Mayor Curley of Boston.
There were scores of women in the
great throng. Some sat in the arena
boxes, but mostly they were In the
balconies.
Doors Are Opened Late.
The garden never held a larger
crowd. Carpenters worked until the
last minute building seats- on the floor.
That was why the doors did not open
on time. Promoter Tex Kickard ex
plained. He was sorry, he said, but his
sorrow was of the cheerful order, for
every one of the 13,000 seats was filled.
A few $25 tickets were in the box
office when the doorsop ened, but they
were soon sold. Speculators found it
easy to get four times the original
price of tickets.
The smoke cloud that usually settles
over a fight crowd was missing, and
the few who lighted cigars and cigar
ettes promptly stamped them out by
emphatic orders of firemen scattered
through the building. Neither Willard
nor Moran had appeared when the pre
liminaries, which the laws requires that
the public may get its money's worth,
had reached the semi-finals.
Tom Jones, Willard's manager, tugged
at the white ropes around the ring and
dcraandfti that they be tightened. An
attendant granted his wish.
M illard Appears First.
Jess "W'illard was the first to enter
the ring, climbing through the ropes
at !:37 o'clock. He was accompanied
by his manager and chief second, Tom
Jones, and seconds Walter Monohan,
Ja-k Hemple and Ray Archer.
Willard appeared to be exceptionally
cool and stepped across the ring to
shake hands with Frank Moran, who
arrived three minutes later. Moran was
seconded by Willie Lewis, Frank Ken
dall. Bill McKennon and Joe Kelley.
The timekeepers were: For Moran,
Joe Considine; for Willard. Harry
Weiss, and for the -club. Dr. Muth.
Willard Wears Soft Bandages.
Willard wore soft bandages, in sharp
contrast, extended well above his
wrists. Willard was clad around the
loins by heavy red worsted tifrhts,
while Moran wore dark green trunks
of a similar texture.
While the two heavyweights sat in
their corners. Bob Fitzsimmons, J. J.
Corbett, Kid McCoy and John L. Sul
livan were introduced in turn, the last
of the quartet being given a tre
mendous ovation.
All the former ring stars shook
hands with the principals of the big
bout. During these ceremonies Moran
appeared annoyed and nervous over
the delay, while Willard. leaned back
on the ropes and smiled a noncommital
smile. Us frequently looked across the
ring to Moran's corner, but the chal
lenger appeared to avoid the cham
pion's eye.
At 9:45 Referee Charley White en
tered the ring and called the two
heavyweights to the center of the ring
to pick their five-ounce gloves.
"Willard Weighs 2.104
The official weights were announced
as follows:
Moran, pounds: Willard, 259 V
rounds.
Referee White took the principals to
the center of the ring at 9:54 for final
instructions.

the Whitman baseball team is working
into shape rapidly and promises to be
one of the best turned out by the Wal
la Walla institution in several years.
A series of practice games has been
arranged with the Milton team and
Whitman has won the first two easily.
One of Coach Borleske's problems
seems to be settled in the way Schildt
knect, the Lincoln High-School boy, is
filling the backstop position. With
Lieuellyn and Cutler to fill the vacancy
at first and two likely pitchers in De
Grief and Hanson to help Captain Hen
derson with the twirling end of the
game, the infield looks as good as
could be expected. About 20 candi
dates are out.
BEES BEAT MODESTO REDS
Squad Will Journey to Fresno To
morrow to Meet All-Stars.
BEES' TRAINING CAMP, Modesto,
Cal., March 25. (Special.) Cliff
Blankenship sent his Pets in today
against the Modesto Reds with the
result that the men who will defend
the cause for Salt Lake in the coming
Pacifc Coast League struggle won the
battle, 4 to 1.
The Bees will journey to Fresno
tomorrow for a clash with a team of
valley All-Stars. It is expected that
Blankenship will carry the whole squad
to this contest and that every one
will have a chance to perform. The
team will make an early start to Salt
Lake on Monday morning hoping to
arrive on the home lot Tuesday. Work
outs will be indulged in on the home
lot through the week so that the men
will be in tip-top shape for the opening
clash with the Oakland squad on
April 4.
Blankenship received word today
from Salt Lake that Buddy Ryan and
Tommy Quinlan, the Bee outfielders
who have been somewhat under the
weather, are re-working out together
in the home town and are reported to
be rounding into shape very nicely.
LL ALL TO GOOD
GOOD-XATIHED PORTLAXD BOY IS
MORAN'S SPARRING PARTNER.
Flsnter's Hearty Friendship and En
thusiastic Scrapping; Described
by Trainer Lewis.
"Willie" Lewis, trainer of Frank
Moran, has written a letter to the sport
ing editor containing a little dope on
Frank Kendall, the Portland heavy
weight. Read it for yourself:
New York, March 21. (Sporting Ed
itor, Morning Oregonian.) Dear Sir:
The big. good-natured, unassuming
Frank Kendall, of Portland, Or., is
now Frank Moran's assistant trainer
and chief sparring partner. Picking
sparring partners for a heavyweight
championship contender is no "cinch.
That is, picking one who would give
Moran the right kind of workout. Mo
ran and I came here from Saratoga,
with the question of sparring partners
still unsettled. .
A moving picture concern came here
to. get a picture of Moran training. 1
asked Kendall if he would favor us by
boxing two rounds with Moran for the
"movies." Kendall readily acquiesced.
His skillful manipulation of the "pil
lows" made a hit. With both Moran
and myself on Moran's suggestion. I
engaged him as Moran's sparring part
ner, and to say that he is filling the
bill would be putting it mildly. He is
a remarkably clever fellow with an
exceptionally good left hand, and is
surprisingly fast for a man his size.
They soon became fast friends and
Kendall s heart is set on a Moran vic
tory. The way they hammer each other in
their daily workout would lead one to
believe they were both in love with the
same girl, but the good fellowship ex
pressed in the hearty handclasp at the
termination of each bout would con
vince the most skeptical that their
hearts are in the right place.
It is my firm belief that if Kendall
gets the right kind of a start in New
York he will be a sensation.'
Kendall's first fight here was with
Andre Anderson, who outweighed him
by 26 pounds. I am not trying to find
an alibi for Kendall's defeat, but both
"Bill" McKinnon and myself, who were
aware of Kendall's condition, implored
him not to box. . leather than draw a
60 days' suspension from the boxing
commission, he went through with his
bout as scheduled and I am taking this
way of letting his Portland friends
know that he started under adverse
conditions.
Hoping I am not taking up too much
of your valuable space, I am in all sin
cerity, respectfully yours.
WILLIE LEWIS.

DANZIG COME-BACK FAILS
Old-Time Coast Leaguer Gives Piti
ful Exhibition In Camp Harry
B. Smith Declares Elliott Will
Do Most of Catching.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
OAKS' TRAINING CAMP, Boyes Hot
Springs. March 25. (Special.) Unless
all signs fail, the Oakland, club is going
to have something to say regarding the
disposition of the 1916 pennant. I am
not going to say that Rowdy Elliott
will win the pennant, since that might
be stretching matters too far, but he
certainly has a club that is showing up
well so far as Spring practice is con
cerned, and in addition, he has some
ballplayers with good records behind
them.
When the Oaks finished in '15 by
trailing well behind the leaders there
was promised a shaking of bones. The
promise has come true to large extent
and for the first game against Salt
Lake on April 4, Elliott will present a
number of new faces.
His infield will chiefly be reshaped
and that is where some radical changes
are unquestionably needed. As mat
ters look Just now, Malcolm Barry, of
the Jersey City club, will be the first
sacker.
Danzig Falls at Comeback.
Babe Danzig, old-time Coast Leaguer,
who has been trying to do a comeback,
has failed miserably. Babe is still there
when it comes to stickwork, but he is
away out of form as a fielder and can't
seem to judge the ball at all.
Below the knees he is as good as
dead and that would prevent his get
ting anything in the shape of a ground
er or a low-thrown ball. I saw him in
a workout one morning this week and
the exhibition was rather pitiful. Barry
is a fast fielder and an accurate one.
Judging from what we have seen of
him. Rowdy is sure the international
leaguer with stick.
At second there is Bill Kenworthy,
who has been elected captain of the
club. Bill is a sure shot when it comes
to batting the ball, has lots of pep and
knows how to field. Just now Ken
worthy is laid up with a sore arm
which has caused him to make a trip to
Oakland for., treatment, but that Is
sure to disappear by the time the sea
son opens. The first day that Ken
worthy arrived, in training quarters he
did so much work that he has been on
the crippled list ever since.
Davis Like Wis at Short.
Bobby Davis looks like a wiz at short
and has been hitting the pill as well.
His leg that might have bothered him
and rather gave Elliott many a sleep
less night, is causing no trouble at all.
Davis says he hasn't felt a pain and
that he is certain he will be as good as
ever. In fact Davis is going so fast
that predictions are freely made an
other season will see him In the big
leagues.
Jaspar Barbeau is the third-sacker
beyond, any question. Barbeau looks
like a fine fielder and is proving it.
He is not a youngster by any means,
but for all that he is a polished fielder.
Just what will be done so far as the
utility role is concerned, is hard to say.
Joe Burg, also of Milwaukee, and Fran
cis Hosp are fighting it out for the
position, but there is a tip out that El
liott is angling for a youngster who
has seen service in the Coast League.
If this deal goes through. Burg will
be turned back to Milwaukee, while
Hosp will be cast adrift.
Outfield In Good Shape.
The outfield looks good as well. Rube
Gardner can't be displaced in right
field, for he is as sure as taxes when
it comes to smashing the ball. Zim
merman, the outfielder secured from
Brooklyn in the Jimmy Johnston deal,
looks to be a find to replace the speedy
base-stealer in center. In many ways,
Zimmerman is as fast as Johnston. He
covers more territory In fielding' his
position, if some work that he did the
other afternoon is any criterion, and
they say that he can hump some when
it comes to making the rounds on the
bases.
The left field salary will likely go to
Roxey Middleton. although Randall, of
Milwaukee, is a contestant. Middleton's
speed will likely give him the call
when it comes to naming the -man and
the way matters look now you can ex
pect to see Randall shipped back to
some Eastern point.
The club also has a young outfielder
named Lane, who looks fast, but hard
ly has the weight to carry him through
a hard season such as the Coast League
clubs experience.
F.UIott to Do Most Catching.
In the catching department. Elliott
promises to do the lion's share of the
work, for he predicts that he will be
catching five out of every seven games.
He will only, carry one other catcher

making a pick.
In reality, he likes Frank Elliott, a
young soldier boy, who was with the
club last Fall. Drolette. a San Fran
cisco busher, and Griffith, a stocky
built chap bought from the Western
League, also are. on the ground, but
neither appears to catch the eye to any
extent.
Red Kuhn is also in the fold. He
arrived one day this week, signed his
contract that called for a big cut and
said he was after a chance to make
good. Elliott .is rather afraid that
Kuhn's temperament is not the right
sort for a ball club. There is no gain
saying that Kuhn is a good ballplayer
If he wants to behave, and that is the
question.
Oaks Lucky With Twlrlers.
And now we come to the pitchers.
Insofar as flingers are concerned, the
Oakland club appears lucky. All the
men have appeared on the scene save
Chabek, of Brooklyn. The latter has
written Elliott that his wife is not
well and that she is objecting strenu
ously to his coming to the Coast. Cha
bek adds, however, that he will come
just as soon as he can get away and
declares that he is doing a little work

PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP. Sac
ramento. Cal., March 25. (Special.)
For some years past the Portland Coast
League ball club has resembled the his
toric Butterscotchmen. who could not
run until warmed up and who could
not warm up except by running.
This Spring, however, with any luck
at all in the pitching lottery, the
Beavers ought to be in the first di
vision after the first month. We say
this because we believe the present
Portland corps to be well balanced and'
superior at this stage of the race to
both the 1913 and the 1914 pennant
winning aggregations.
In 1913 Walter McCredie shook up his
squad as a cement mixer scrambles
gravel. His outfield didn't hit beans
that Spring, but Mack was fortunate
in his pitching draws.
Hi West had his one best season,
and with Bill James, Rip Hagerman
and Higginbotham booming great guns
it required only a little tinkering
Krueger for Lober and Speas down
from the Northwest League and the
flag was clinched.
1014 Titcher Crew Wrecked.
Portland's pitching crew of 1914 was
wrecked by the graduation of James
and Hagerman and by West's collapse.
Higginbotham thereupon stepped into
the breach, won 31 games that season,
and with a little late-season assistance
from Martinoni and Lush the Beavers
copped another flag.
Nobody will say that that champion
ship bunch was particularly formidable
at this stage of the Spring. Dave Ban
croft's sensational performing at short
stop notably assisted the boys in their
rise from mediocrity, and yet Dave
was figured as only a substitute for
the first five or six weeks of the cam
paign. So we repeat that while the 1916
squad as it shapes now may not win
the pennant, it looks better than any
of McCredie's clubs have looked in
March during the past four years.
Differing from the most recent pen-
nanteers, the 1916 corps carries its
heavy guns in the outfield. Wilie,
Nixon, Southworth. Speas all are good.
sound clouters. judging from their
showing here and In former pastures.
Outfield Is Promising.
The outfield promises to give better
satisfaction than any quartet of hor
ticulturists in several seasons.
In the innerworks Stumpf at third
and Vaughn at second are seasoned vet
erans, and it Is safe to hazard that
these two are the unadulterated brand.
Stumpf is an extra-base hitter, and un
til Louis Guisto broke into the limelight
as a prospective regular at first base,
the infield appeared somewhat shy on
hitters of the slugging type like
Rodgers and Kores.
If Guisto keeps his head up and de
velops, as he gives promise of doing,
he is destined to be the Moses of the
year 1916, in our humble opinion. He
is a bulky, impressive fellow with a
pair of shoulders like Tub Spencer's,
and when he hits the ball it screams
and shrieks like a badly sliced go.'f
ball in its flight to bunkers unseen.
Of course, the St. Mary s collegian
may not be quite "ripe" for near major
league sin with its maze of hit-and-
81 Drop Forgings-in the 1916 Indian
run, sacrifice, hit-behind-the-runner and
other "inside" baseball snarls and wind
falls to trap the unwary and the unex
perienced. Quinn, who had been figured as the
regular first baseman, is rather a slight
fellow, left handed, a corking good
bunter, and probably will hit around
.275 in the Coast League. He is not
an extra-base walloper in any sense of
the word. Quinn's theory is that he
can look them over more carefully by
simply meeting the ball than by taking
a healthy swing.
"Chuck" Ward at short will have tjO
keep up the pace he set last Fall down
the home stretch to add strength to the
club. He is not as finished in his field
ing as a Bancroft, a Terry or a Corhan,
and not as good at the bat as some
other shortpatchers we have known.
Yet. he does not suffer In comparison
with Billy Orr, of Salt Lake, or Bobby
Davis, of Oakland, or yet with Sammy
Bohen, of San Francisco.
PItchinK Staff Holds Key.
Manager McCredie's pitching staff
appears to hold the key to the situa
tion, as has been pointed out hereto
fore. Messrs. Higginbotham and Lush
possess the key to the situation. Wytin
Noyes and Oscar Harstad are almost
certain to prove consistent winners. If
Lush and Higginbotham come back
and show 1914 form, all will be well
with the Mackmen.
And there is no reason why these
veterans should not pitch gilt-edged
ball. Higginbotham was the founda
tion of the Portland slabbing corps in
1912, '13 and '14, and his arm is now
in as good shape as ever in his career.
From the field of recruits Clark,
Houck, Sothoron, Dunn, Lyle BigbetJ
there should emerge at least one valued
piece of pitching bric-a-brac.
Granting Dame Fortune smiles on
the Mackmen the present bunch of
gunners should be able to wiggle
through fairly well with this team
behind them. But there's no gainsay
ing that unless Mack wants to take
a gambling chance he should be more
strongly fortified in the box.
This is the only Portland weakness,
as we see it now, and as we have seen
it for several weeks back.
Fisher and Haworth behind the wind
pad will do. Gus is a great hitter and
so is Haworth. Haworth, a Portland
boy, by the way, stands up to the bat
like Buddy Ryan.
