There is absolutely no reason why
Morris shouldn't be the premier white
fighter of America, If not, indeed, of
the world, in another year or year and
a half. He is the biggest and strong
est fellow to enter the ring in a long
time, has a terrific punch, wonderful
gameness, plenty of speed n a very
fair idea of how to fight.
Perhaps the harsh treatment he was
forced to undergo at the hands of
Flynn has embittered the big ex-engi-
neere. Anyhow, the smile he wears
while in action is now but a mask.
Underneath there is a very vicious
personality, determined to ask no quar-
ter and to give none. Accustomed to
the rough ways of the West, Morris

Mrs. Desch is by far the best woman

Mrs. Desch has never had to extend
herself to win a so or 100 yards dash.

Mrs. Desch has every right to eX-
