ARL MORRIS is probably the
only sure white hope" that
would have any show with the
J. smoke. About the only way to
minimize the effects of Mr.. Morris S
snocks, would be to surround ones
elf with a few good feet of armor

-anted 10000 pound proof.
Norris while in training for his
match with Flynn, has trained from
BIS pounds down to 80. While weigh
ing at 243 pounds he took a tender
nabisco rap at a punching machine,
and the hand, after flying about the
dial in agony finally landed on the
1915 pound limit, and rested there and
IL was later found out that the ma
chine was ''jimmed" because of the
severe jolt the Oklahoma giant adj
ministered.
Carl has a reach totaling 81 inches,
or Il inches per each scion Morris
has never been licked, and on the
other hand usually drops his victims
in a period varying from two minutes
up to four rounds. Garlic doesn't be-
leva In taking a punch TO return one,
as he is of the opinion that scrapper
shouldn't take anything he doesn't
have to.
Morris is a great fiend about tender
loin and other brands of carne, and
about the only show Flynn would have
would be to '-dake up with goodly
bunch Of pillows crocheted with ham
burger steak designs, and that might
for a moment disconcert the now-I-
lay-me-down-t o-sleepers, with which
the giant is well supplied However,
when 1t comes to discussing about the
coming match between Flynn and carr,
1T is a match in which we feel for
Flynn. Flynn weighs only 17S pounds.
and Morris has 10 inches more reach,
and he is so tall that he would look
down on Flynn in the match, as parent
on child Flynn generally goes into
the ring with the one thought Of COM
ing In for more" and in the near scrap
he will just about get it.
Several local fans have inquired as

Pittsburg. is clouting at 1000, but he
has played in only three games;
Mitchell of Detroit, is knocking at
the .ss7 rate, but he has played in
only 4 games, so therefore the real top
notchers can only be chosen from those

features in the compiled averages

The local postoffice ball team and
the L. S. immigration bunch of ball
PLAYERS, will cross bats on Labor day
at Athletic park. The game viii be
for a purse OF $50 and several side
bets have been registered. The reason

ago the same two Teams MIXED things
up and the immigrators won the game
tors had run in a couple of ringers"
and the mail men consequently got
sore, and the game Monday will settle
things for good If the sharp-eyed in
