Moran Turns Pro In East Sprint Circuit
The piece notes Jimmy Moran exits amateur ranks to join professionals, joining Ingraham, Hurley, and Hamilton as top East sprinters. Moran, a popular figure who earns prizes, is a steady milkseller by trade and remains in strong form, expected to challenge the lead in forthcoming meets. Ingraham misses a weekend race due to a prior accident, while Hurley emerges as a rising threat and vegetarian rider. Carni is seen as near his peak but not as quick as the pro trio.
