Johnson. now 216 pounds in weight,
started yesterday to dry 0111. He will

now are 10 to 4—but they are holding
off with their money. apparently hop-
ing to get a still longer price.
The opinion of the majority of ring
followers who have seen the men re-
cently is that training under Willie
Lewis and sparring with him have im-
proved Moran immensely“ in clever:
. ness. and his young age also is re-
garded as an asset over the older
Johnson. They feel that Johnson has
not. taken his training for condition as
seriously as he might have and that
. be has not had suflicionly. good spar-
ring partners to extend him and bring
him into the best possible shape. But
withal, few are willing to say that they
think Moran has a chance.
The bout is proving a gold mine for
various Paris newspapers which are
charging 30 francs ($6) a line for ad-
vertisements intended to draw the gul-
lible public to seats for which 100
francs ($20) are being asked. The
promoters of the contest. however, are
anxious that there shall not be an emp-
, ty seat and are even employing sand-
wich men to announce the event.
The general public. however, will be
satisfied to wait until Sunday. when
they expect to see the fight on the mo-
vies for a franc. (20 centsl a seat.

The six rowing colonies of i otnell. t‘o

ington and \iisconsin were
bright and early this morning. and title
120 oarsmen are keyed up to a high
tension in anticipation of the rowing
contests on the Hudson opposite this
city here. There was no change in the
betting over night, and Cornell cou-
tinues the favorite in all three races.
There are many bets of even money
in \i'a'shington against i’ehfsyivauia.
and some lingers that Syracuse will
not be third or better in the ‘varsity
race. The Columbia backers are'man-
oeuvring for greater odds, evidently
fearing that the big crew will not last
for the four miles.
'lhe early morning trains brought a
large numlyr of visitors into the city
and thousands are expected on the
special excursion trains on the West

ers. The river presents 1: beautiful

the scene early to police the course
and assign ploaoure craft to anchorage.
Among the early arrivals was the
large oceangoing Vanderbilt yacht

been reserved for Vincent Astor’s

The sale of tickets for the observa.

The first race will be between the
junior eights and will be called at .4:1I5

6:15. Local river men state that the
two first races will be rowed against
the last flood tide in which event the
inside crews, Cornell and Columbia in
both races. le11 have the advantage.
At 0:15. the time of the 'varsity race.
there will be a strong ebb tide, which,
with the predicted northwest wind,

ooxmo notes!
Some of the British boxing promo
ters seem to be as backward as their
American cousins in taking a tip from
headquarters. Some time ago it was
hinted very strongly by the British
Minister for Foreign Affairs that he
would not tolerate a match between
a colored fighter and a white man.
This expression from the government
was intended to a pointer for those
promoter: who had been trying to
match up Jack Johnson and Bombar
dier Walls; also. Gunboat Smith and
811.111 Lungford. and mustard and
Wells. But they failed to take the.
hint and. went right along trying to
match up the colored star with a white
man. As a result a government odi-
cinl last week gate the promoters to
understand just where they were at
and intimated that any attempt to hold
such a contest would not only be nip
ped in the bud, but that it. might hurt
the boxing game in general in other
words. the promoter was told to keep
within the limit, otherwise he would
be put out of business. "The reason
.for this stand by the government is»
the fact that Britain, has many colon-
