Carl Morris Not
To Quit Fighting
Will Engage Tommy Ryan to
Teach Him Boxing so He
Can Beat Flynn

Although Fireman Jim Flynn easily
demolished Carl Morris, the Okla
noma Giant, last week the latter has
decided to remain in the lighting
game. He is going home to SapuIpa

two Then he intends to hire severa.
boxing instructors, with whom he will
work steadily until next spring. By
that time Morris believes he will know
enough about scientific ring tactics. 10
turn the tables on Flynn, who, he
says, must be beaten before another
opponent can be considered. Morris
doesn Aknow who will be engaged to
teach him how to box, but his man
ager, Frank B. Ufer, it is said, may
try to induce Tommy Ryan to assume
the task. If Ryan finds it impossible
to instruct the big fellow it is sug-
gested that Ufer might do well to en-
gage Billy Delaney to arrange mat
tiers. In discussing Morris yesterday
Ufer said:
Nobody questions Carts gameness.
That's sure. Everybody who saw him
take the beating from Flynn knows
he's got the stamina and the real
fighting instinct With these winning
qualities to work with we are going
to try all over again to make real
pugilist out of the big fellow. He
gained a world of experience from
Flynn and will profit by it the next
time. We are ready to spend unlim-
tied money to teach Morris how to
protect himself and at the same time
punch with effect, and as he is only
"a years old there's plenty of time.
The reason Flynn's blows swelled
Morris face so much was due to the
fact that Carts skin was tender, and
he'd never been hit before. Aside
from these bruises Morris wasn't Ser
iously hurt and finished strong. He
wouldn't allow his seconds to throw
has the same chance to become cham
pion as Jeffries had when he first
boxed in the East You'll remember
that jeff failed TO make a respectable
showing against Bob Armstrong, a
third rater, and was ridiculed as a
result. jeff looked like a big boob
on that occasion, but he did not give
up the ship. He engaged Tommy
Ryan to show him how to fight and
a year later he came back with the
real stuff. He whipped Fitzsimmons,
who was a 4 to favorite. That is
why we haven't lost confidence in
Morris. He has much to learn, but
you can't improve his courage, which
is all important.
There's no doubt that he was both
cred by Flynn's size and ring tactics.
Flynn lowered his head and stuck
close all the way, so that Morris
could not make use of his long
swings. Short arm work was Greek
to him and he couldn't put his weight
into the blows. He didn't know how
to hook or uppercut, and as Flynn
ably avoided his swings the big fellow
was easily stumped. If Morris had
known something about defending his
face in half clinches he wouldn't have
been beaten SO severely. The result
of the bout clearly showed what was
the matter and, within the next six
months we intend to remedy all these
faults if possible"

Coach Rodgers and Captain
Romeyn Have Men Out to
Prepare For Next June

New Haven, Sept. 19.-Returnine
to New Haven the earliest of any
year in the history. of boating at Yale
twelve candidates for the 1912 crew
reported at the harbor yesterday
and were given preliminary work
Captain Radcliffe Romeyn told the
men that though June is nine months
off, it was necessary to get to work
at once. No reference was made
to the defeat of Yale at New Lon
don last year.
Charge of coaching was assumed by
Jim Rodgers who succeeds John
Kennedy as coach of the Yale crew.
Rodgers was captain of the 1897 Yale
football team and rowed two years
in the crew. The squad had an as
sistant coach and new boat rigger in
Fred Plaisted.
Scully, who had a place in the boat
last June will not go out for the crew

.Roasts RitcheI
For Sharp Trick.
Manager Halpin of Black Rocks
Says West End Manager
Threw Him Down
Sporting Editor OF The Farmer:

Sporting Editor OF The Farmer:
Allow me to take up some Of your
valuable space to tell the fans of this
city that Manager Ritchel of the West
Ends is up to his old tricks again.
We had arranged to have series be-
tween the Black Rocks and West
Ends to decide the city championship,
and Manager Ritchel promised to
meet me last night in a Fairfield ave-
nue. cigar store. Capt. Hurley of the
Rocks, and myself showed up but
Richel didn't appear. We waited
quite while and then heard that
Ritchel had gone to ST. Joseph's hall.
We decided to go to St. Joseph S
hall and upon arriving there found
Ritchel in conference with Manager
Dumphy of the st. Joes. The West
End manager threw the Books down
and agreed to play a series of five
games with the st. Joes. All this
is in spite of the fact that he de-
cared he would not play again with
the ST. Joes because of the disagree
ment last season. In view of the
fact that Ritchel promised to play the
Rocks it looked sharp practice to
crawl out of the match at the last
minute.
The Rocks turned down offers from
White Plains, Westport, and AM-Mil-
ford in order to take on the West
Ends. Ritchel has been getting away
with that stuff for some time, but
the public is gradually getting wise
to him. NaG -affs at5f .4-.s

nown, when the first touch of autumn
comes and the odor of burning leaves
drifts across the landscape-when
there is a tang in the atmosphere
and the wind begins to whip and
sting-Matty still looks bit visit
fully from the diamond to the grid
iron, where the dull thud of the boot
ed pigskin is keener music for him
than the crash of bat against ball.
It's the old autumn call which hits
every man who has ever hit line
or dived eadlong for a tackle, who
has swept around an end for thirty
yards. or lifted twisting spiral high
and far down the field.
Not even the call of the diamond
in early spring is as magnetic, nor
does it carry the same grip and pow
,er. Ask .Matty, Overall, Birmingham
or Others who have played them both.

LEACH CROSS DEFEATS
SULLIVAN ON POINTS

Leach Cross outfought and outpoint-
ed Paddy Sullivan all the way in their
ten-round battle held last night at
the Olympic A. c. New York. Cross
was back to his old form and made
Sullivan look rather foolish. All
through the fray Leach was hopping
around his slow-footed antagonist,
pecking away with rights to tho jaw
and then slamming in hard lefts to the
body.
The only round in which Sullivan
appeared to have a possible chance
was in the fourth. Through some un-
known reason Sullivan let his left fly
right to the point of Leach's jaw. The
wallop slowed up the East Slider, and
he backed away, somewhat worried.
All through the round Cross kept
backing away, but Sullivan failed to
follow up his advantage and at the
bell Cross had recovered his senses.

players drafted. They get $3.50 for
Gardella, who goes with the Giants
$500 for Page, drafted by Los Angeles

Portland of the Coast league. Genest
was reported to have been purchased
by the Chicago White Sox but this
is said to be merely cover up trans
action and it is not thought that any
money changed hands. Genest may
be given a trial in spring by the
White SOx but will probably be turn
ed back to Springfield.
The only player drafted by Glass A
clubs from the New England league
was Haight of Fall River. He is a
catcher and is said to be a good one.
