MORRIS S-SCHRECK FIGHT
SETS WHOLE TOWN CRAZY

Sapulpa, Okla, Mar q. = Sapulpa
has been dubbed the Reno of the south
west, and it deserves the title. AL
though the Morris Schreck battle to-
morrow afternoon is not champion
ship event, the interest attending it
is as intense as was the case in Reno
forty-eight hours before the Jeffries-
Johnson fight. 1t practically is the
sole topic of conversation here, while
in every other town in Oklahoma the
fight is discussed almost as generally.
The seat sale has proceeded with a
rush from the moment it began. More
than half of the arena has been sold.
Orders for seats are coming in by tele-
graph, telephone and by mail The
prices are high enough for cham
pionship fight, but that does not mat
ter The indications are the twelve
thousand seats will all be gone before
the doors Of the arena open Tuesday
afternoon, with standing room at a
premium when the main event starts.
New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, San Francisco, Kansas City and
other distant cities will contribute to
the crowd. Here in Oklahoma, Tulsa,
Muskogee, Enid Oklahoma City,
Shawnee, Guthrie and every other
town of any consequence will turn out
for the fight. Sherman and Denison,
Tex, and Springfield and Monett, Mo-,
will send delegations of Frisco en-
ployees. Every railroad man in Okla
homa that can get away will be here.
Several hundred women have pur-
chased seats. Ladies day" at the
Morris camp was for several weeks a
prominent society event in Sapulpa
and many women here are keen to wit.
ness the giant hope in action.
The arena was completed today. The
arrangements are excellent. The ring
is considerably elevated and specta-
tors from any part of the arena can
easily see everything that goes on.
Schreck, accompanied by his man
ager, Billy Corcoran, arrived from
Pittsburg Saturday night. Corcoran
will be in Sehreck's corner Harry
Weust, Morris chief sparring partner.
and Con Riley, his trainer, will be in
Morris corner.
al Venn of this city is the latest to
be suggested as referee of the fight
Several names are under considera-
ton by the promoter W. F. Stone. He
may not announce his selection until
the day Of the battle.
Morris has been taking his exercise
in smaller doses for several days. He
goes to bed very early in the evening
and sleeps late in the morning. His
work is sufficient to keep him in splen-
did condition. He is confident he will
win the fight.

A genuine old fashioned college class

last week, The sophomores had plan

as the second year students rolled
away making merry with college songs
and yells the freshmen outnumbering
them two to one swooped down and
captured their sustic caravan The at
tacking party was in search of the
grub baskets. The sophomores, having
lreceived an inkling of impending trou-
BILE, had sent the "eats" on ahead. For
the time being the first year class
withdrew and the sophomores went on
their way Later they followed them
to the river and made another assault
but supper had been cleared away.
The freshmen contented themselves by
riding back to town in one of the
wagons and compelling part of the
sophomores to walk.
Oklahoma is to have three big inter
collegiate debates this year, a record
that few of the great universities of
the middle west can equal. Contests
have been scheduled with Kansas and
Colorado for several months. Both OF
these are to be decided on the night
of April IL, one in Norman and one
in Lawrence, Kans. After four years
relations have been resumed with Mis-
souri, and team will be sent to Co
llumbia in May. At first some doubt
was expressed as to whether suitable
material could be found for three bic

and one of two members. The fact
that nineteen men had enrolled for the
preliminary contest to choose the Mis-
souri, team some time before the reg

the handicap of an unfamiliar court
and lost the contest, Durant scoring
the winning points on free throws re

Sapulpa, Okla. Mar. 27.-This town
is alive today with fans here to see the
fight tomorrow between Carl Morris,
"the white mans hope" and Mike
Schreck. Morris did little training to-

boxed little. He says he'll win sure.
The betting is four to one on Morris,
with even money that Schreck wont
stay five rounds. The fight probably
will not start until four O'Clock.

THE BEATTIE TRIAL.
For First Time Since Beginning of
Trial, Man Charged with Murder
ing Wife Displays Signs Of Emo
ton.

Chesterfield, c. H., Va. Aug. 81.
Horny Clay Beattie. Jr.. indicted
Tor the murder of his wife, sobbed
like child today when his gray
haired father in low, tremulous
voice told of the domestiv felicity OF
his son and the slain woman. 1t
was the first time that the stocial
calm of the prisoners countenance
had given away. The examination OF
the father came as the climax of a
dramatic day. Tomorrow the accused
himself will go on the stnd and the
defence will rest its case.
Battering constantly against the
testimony of Paul Beattie, cousin Of
the prisoner. as to the purchase Of
the gun. his delivery Of it to Henry
and the subsequent conversation with
the accused, the defence introduced
several witnesses to cast doubt upon
the veracity of Paul.
David Beattie. Henry's grandfath-
er. testified that Paul's character was
not good. Another intense period in
the trial for which apparent regret
was shown was when the aged man
told Of his grandson's shortcomings.
Paul has maintained ever since the
beginning of the trial that he dis
posed Of the shotgun the same day
he bought 1T. yet David testified that
on the Sunday previous 10 the MUIR
der he saw Paul with a shotgun.
f. III. Lewis declared that people
spoke Of Paul Beattle "as the biggest
liar in town."
Henry Clay Beattie. Sr., father of
the accused. was interrogated before
court adjourned for the day. AS he
stopped to the witness stand the pris-
oner's face flushed. The white hair
cd man, his face deeply wrinkled
and pale, spoke In a voice scarcely
above a whisper.
