 Sept. 15.-The Carl Morris-Jim Flynn contest was not joke. It was more like tragedy. During 25 years as chronicler of pugilistic happenings that have seen, I never saw as sadly a punished face as that of the Sapul- pa giant He was beaten in the first round and in every round that fol- lowed Whatever the future may hold for him as fighter, it certainly must be said that he received thorough baptism of blood and blows in his affair with the Pueblo fireman. In addition to being the worst punished man I have ever seen, l should say that Morris is certainly as game a man as I have ever known. He is not only game but he has wonderful powers of assimilation. He went in to the contest bearing so much over weight that his roly-poly legs actual
 
 floor for the opening hand shake.
 He had quite fullness about the waist too and as the gory battle pro- gressed and his muscles relaxed his stomach became more noticeable than ever. He looked then like some fat man who had donned the ring attire in payment of an election bet.
 And with all this loose flesh about him, Morris stood to be literally chopped to pieces. Within a very few rounds his right eye was com- pletely closed One of his seconds, in fact, tried that old prize ring re- source of sucking the blood from the battered optic.
 The face kept getting worse and the solid overland smashes Flynn sent against the suffering giants mouth affected Morris to such an ex- tent in the long run that he could not close his lips. He went to the scratch for many rounds with the red fluid trickling down over his chin. A more gory spectacle was never seen on fighting platform. There were rounds when each mans shoulders and breasts were smeared all over with the ruby substance and it came from the Oklahoma mans nose and mouth. The only mark of the affray that Flynn showed at the finish was a damaged left eye.
 Jere Dunn used to say that every man had his stopping place, meaning of course, that every human did not possess the same degree of courage. Looking at Morriss face tonight wondered if the big man from Okla homa had stopping place. It looked to me as though he was hopelessly ,outclassed from the second round on :. However, he still went against those punishing lefts and kept trying brave ly to put in one right uppercut thai would turn the tide of battle in his favor.
 That is all there is to MT. Car |, Morris in the fighting line at pre- sent, a right uppercut-it is not Johnson or a Langford uppercut a that-it does not go through man. i, guard, at least not once out of pos
 sible five times. It did not takf : Flynn long to learn how to block I and the Pueblo fireman simply bur1e< his face in his forearms and permit ted Morris to do his level best While . in this position Flynn rested himseh at times. When he got ready he GU loose again and there was not Flynn blow wasted. He not only bat tered Morris face until is was no nice to look at, but he kept sinking his fists into the soft flesh on Morris body. Morris seemingly scorned t. : resort to any of the defensive tactic 2 ordinarily used by fighters.
