u Cincinnati heavyweight, In siA
rounds, yesterday. Carl Morris,
Of Sapulpa, kept himself in the run
ming as a white hope"
That was about all he did, however.
for his showing was not such as to in
6icate that champion Jack Johnson is
in imminent danger of losing his title
to the engineer of Sapulpa.
A right hook 10 the Jaw won for
Morris.
Morris beat Scireck fairly enough,
but the eight WIS slow. About all
Schreck did was to act as a punching
bag for Morris's blows and await the
coming OF the end. The records show
that the "Flying Dutchman' landed
in all about half a dozen punches, noL.e
of which was hard enough to jar even
a middleweight. Morris weighed 245
pounds.
Schreck was fat n slow. He took
q severe beating, and was q bloody
sight when the final count anne Some
of those present intiInated that Schreck
was glad to hear the ten toll off, but
ii he was he apparently did the best ne
could.
Morris proved that he could fight
with both hands. He hit Schreck with
rights and lefts. This is the first fight
in which Morris has used his left
punch to any extent.
Morris Slow hat Has Punch.
Morris is slow. He has q punch,
but il will take a large amount Of
training to put him in a class with
any of the leading boxers in the heavy
weight division. Morris, however, says
he knows his limitations and he IN
tends to train for speed from now on
Morris last night left for Tulsa
where he will make his home. He is
now under the management of Franz
Ufer, an oil man. who paid $4,000 fol
the right to handle him.
i Morris stepped down from the cal
of a locomotive asst July to enter tn.
ring. Today he stepped from the rir.t
into a 5000 automobile hat he ha,
! purchased with his earnings. Fearin,
the machine, which he bought in Kan
sas City, would not be here yester
day if it came by freight, Morris hat
: it shipped by express. That cost hin
