 the Sixth
CINCINNATI MAN LANDS
 HALF A DOZEN PUNCHES
Stands Gave Way Under Weight of Spectators, But None is
 Seriously Injured

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 29.- Carl Morris, the Sapulpa giant, and since the elimination of Jim Jeffries from pugilistic circles, the original white hope" knocked out Mike Schreck of Cincinnati after one min ute and two seconds of fighting in fifteen-round battle in the arena two miles south of Sapulpa yesterday aft ernoon A crashing right swing that Morris started from behind his back and which he landed flush on Schreck's jaw, ended the one-sided contest for when the blow thudded against Mikes chin he toppled heav- fly and clumsily to the canvas where he was counted out by Referee Ed Cochrane.
 From the start it was apparent that Schreck did not have a chance to win. Morris looked to be in excellent physical condition, but: Schreck was several pounds above his best weight. However, he showed the effects of some training, and managed EtosW cath CT the storm of blows that his adver- sary rained upon his face and head from the beginning of the first round.
 Shows No Improvement,
 Although it was apparent that Nor ris completely outclassed his oppon- ent the result of the contest does. not reflect much credit on Morris. The hope" did not show any improve ment over his fight with Marvin Hart Although his blows landed fair and square, and he seemed to put all his strength into them, they did not have the effect on Schreck that one would expect 8I Morris had every natural advantag
 in yesterdays battle. He is younget IL fn haff fy-oi in ed than Schreck, and while it is true that he made veritable punching bag out of the Cincinnati man. his showing was something of a disap- pointment to those who looked for a quick victory.

 When the men entered the ring Morris was a to 1 favorite to win. with odds of 2 to that he would rounds finding no takers. One bet was made at even money that Morris would win by a Knockout in the first round.
 Neither Showed Science. Schreck landed only about half a dozen blows on his adversary. Neith- CT man showed any science, both de- pending upon tnelr SluSS1ng CdcIlcS. Morris greater reach and strength
 enabled him to beat Mike to the punch, and he battered his man heavily for two rounds without SCOT ing a knockdown. In the third round
 Carl dropped Schreck to the floor three times,. the bell coming to Mike g rescue while he was on the floor from
 the third knockdown. Morris scored one knockdown in each of the suc-
 ceedings rounds, the only knockdown in the sixth being the knockout A crowd of nearly twelve thousand persons, in which were many women, witnessed the encounter. Twice DOT tions of the stands collapsed from ! overcrowding, but no one was serious I ly injured.
 Many cowboys and Indians were
 among the spectators, and a crowd of railroad men brought the bell from the engine on which Carl Morris made his last run" to the ringside. Every l time the ex-engineer landed telling punch or scored a knockdown the bell was rung and the Indians and cowboys joined in ear-spllttlng screeches.
