The most terrible punches that Flynn could deliver Morris took with out exhibiting symptoms of groggi- ness. His flesh puffs easily, but his brain refuses to be jared by anything in the shape of ah uman fist that so far has connected with his chin. He can plod along at a steady gait, with matter how roughly he is treated. His wind is excellent most unsual qual- ity in one so fat.
 Morris would probably make a great success as a finish fighter. His punch is too ineffective to secure quick re- suits in short bout, but given time enough he would be able to reduce an opponent to a state of exhaustion. The present uncertain status of box ing will not be helped by bouts in which Morris participates. Bloodshed and unsightly bruises are sure to re- suit from contests in which he takes part. If Morris himself Is not the victim, as in the Flynn battle, his opponent will be, as was evidenced by the Geyer bout. Morris does not seek out the jaw with his punches for a painless knockout. He pounds away and the culminative effect of num- erous blows to the eyes and nose is a displeasing sight. Morris has been told by his trainers to use nothing but straight punches and short hooks. No better advice could be given to most fighters, but in Morris's case a few long range swings mixed in would

Carl Morris Now
 In Great Demand

The victory of Carl Morris over Jack Geyer last Monday night has created a demand for his services. Billy Gibson has secured the big fel- low for bout at the Fairmont A. c. in the early part of December with Tom Kennedy. who meets Al Palzer at the Royale A. c. on Nov. 29.
 Morris was much elated by his will over Geyer and is confident he can beat all the big men who are in town just now and then do the same to Jim Flynn. Carl showed marked im- provement in the Geyer bout. He has learned to. use a straight left and his defense is much better than before. But whether he will continue to i'm prove is question. Carl has a most peculiar physique. It has good points, as we'll as many faults that will be difficult to rectify. Carl is an ele- phant among men and moves about a .quivering flesh that mark the move- ments of a lord of the Jungle.
 His limbs are smooth and sleek, without a muscle showing even when exerting himself to his utmost. Yet Morris has strength and plenty of it; but it is not the kind that fighter needs. He lacks control of the hitting muscles and therefore does not use good form in driving in blows. Many men with half his lifting strength can hit far more effectively because their muscles act with snap When in the ring they are keyed up to a state of high nervous tension that en- ables them. to strike with rapiditv Morris cannot concentrate his energy in this manner. A general state of looseness pervades his system, his limbs apparently acting of their own volition. not being under full control of the will.
 This lack of a finely developed ner- vous system works to his advantage in some respects. He is always cool in the most exciting moments of a

YOUyG WAGNER DEFEATS
 FRANKIE EU .}NS HANDlLY

In a smashing, slashing tenth round finish Young Wagner slightly humbled Frankie Burns bantam championship pretensions last night at the National Sporting club, New York. Going in- to the final session the bout was all square. Wagner had the better of the early rounds and Burns came strong in the middle section. Burns had the better of the long range boxing and Wagner shone at short range. It had been fast, clever boxing without any serious damage to either for nine per- iods and none could pick a winner.
 Opening up the forlorn hope section Wagner turned into a miniature tor nado and would not be denied. Rush. ing from his corner he whaled away with his left and caught Frankie be- hind the ear. Burns staggered across the ring, but maintained an even keel. In a flash another left crashed against Burns nose, only to be followed by a series of punches from every angle. Frankie was put on, the defensive. AL though it loked mighty squally for him he weathered the storm, but had to yield the laurels.

 Mike Finn will not manage the Waterbury team next season. He has signed to manage the Mobile, Ala. club in the Southern league. Water bury fans wanted Finn but he would not make good offer for the fran chise.
 This announcement should settle for a time at least the rumors that Mike Finn would return to Waterbury. It has been known that he wanted to come back in 1912, but wrote some time ago to the effect that if he couldn't do business with Dan O'Neil to his satisfaction he would seek a berth elsewhere, as he had no desire to continue another year as scout for the New York Nationals if he could get closer to the game by managing a club. It is understood that the New York club granted his request for a release and left him free to sign with whom he pleased.

dITS OLD ASSIGNED MOTHER
SOciologist Says She is Out of Place
 in These Times.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17-To a gather ing of women in Witherspoon Hall. Charles Zueblin, formerly professor of sociology in the University of Chicago, yesterday made the bold statement that the ''old-fashioned mother is not a good mother these days. He said the woman who remains at her own fireside is cut of. touch with the modern generation.
 ''No woman in America" he said, "can stay at home these days and be good mother. The days when wo- men cou sit at the hearthstone and leave the direction of political and so- cial progress to men are ended. The quicker women realize this the better for themselves and the country. The 'old-fashioned mother not only is out of place, but she permits that which is immoral. So long as immortality faunts itself on every side, vice and disease hod their grip on the social fabric and corruption is rampant in our city halls and legislative cham bers. A woman cannot stay true to her motherhood and remain at home. 9

M'GRAW SAYS INDOOR
 DIAMONDS ARE NO GOOD

While the Giants were preparlns TOT their 5eparture to the tropics Manager McGraw put his foot down on the propbsed plan of training big league bali clubs on an indoor diamond maoe of real grass and a field of sod.
 .It may be all right for the col ieges," said the Giant manager, but it will never do for a bal club that has to go through an entire season oi 154 games"
 Notwithstanding the fact that the big league, clubs will not use the in several of the colleges during the win ter. Groundkeeper Murphy of the Poo Grounds has been engaged to build a diamond of this kind at two of the leading colleges, and he be lieves that it will be of wonderful benefit to college players in the fu- ture.
 These diamonds are to be used in- stead of the old-fashioned cages. They require considerably more room, but the benefits derived from running on springy earth instead of hard floors will more than repay the amateurs Tor their trouble and expense. The sod will be taken up and placed IT, me m closure, a section at time, so that it can be determined what kind of soil is best suited for the purpose.
 In the mild temperature of a covered inclosure Murphy says that the grass can be made to grow as luxuriantly as it does out of doors in the spring. The only drawback to this training plan, and that is slight, isa that fly ba Is can not be handled on account of the roof Outf1eld work is the least of a trainers worry, however, and that can be attended to in the spring, when it is warm enough to get out of doors.
 For awhile the originators of this unique idea believed that< .it would eventually be adopted y the big league clubs. They figured to save thousands of dollars in traveiing ex- penses during the training season, but the managers cannot "see'' it.
 "The main thing in training," said McGraw, when approached on the sub ject, ''is the physical condition of the men and not the mere practice in handling ground balls or running. A club must be in perfect condition gen. orally to stand up under the long strain. It would be of little value to them to work on an indoor field and then go out into winter weather. They must have the same temperature all the time, on or off the diamond. The muscles get as much benefit from the soothing effect of the balmy air after the diamond work is done as they do on the field.
 Tn my opinion,'' he continued training indoors in a cold climate would give the veteran players more char,ey-horseS than they could get rid If for the rest Of the summer. The trouble is not with the diamond upon

They believe the game will resolve it. self immediately into a kicking con- test, for they do not believe either of the teams will be able to advance the ball on straight line plungeS.
 Both Yale and Princeton are well equipped for kicking. ~ Captain Howe is perhaps the best drop kicker on the gridiron today, and there are not many who can get away longer spirals than young Walter Camp. Jr., whose splendid playing in the Brown game has won him a place in the Princeton game.
 Princeton, too, is all fixed in the kicking department. De Witt has shown marked improvement in getting drop-kicking goals from the 40 yard line and against all kinds of difficult ties.
 The secondary line of defense will be called upon for much work in a kicking game and here both teams shine. BOIn Ydle anu HTlnceton plan to use a large number of substitutes, too. It is said more men will win their letters tomorrow than in any one game of recent years.
