NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-By process
of elimination. fight fans here today
declared that Carl Morris, the Oklaho-
ma giant and Fireman Jim Flynn are
the only two white hopes in America
who could stand chance with Jack
Johnson-and they think Flynn is the
better of the two.
They base their decision upon last
nights battle between Al kaufman
and AL Palzer during which Palzer
knocked out Billy Delany's protege in
five rounds. Flynn has whipped kauf-
man. Palzer, too, has whipped him.
Palzer has been whipped by Tom Ken
nedy, and night before last Carl Nor
ris beat Kennedy. Morris, in his turn,
has been pounded severely by Flynn,
though the Oklahoman has vastly i'm
proved since that fight.
Kennedy, Kaufman and Palzer,
therefore, are practically out OF the
running as challenger for the giant
black. leaving only Morris and Flynn
as likely candidates Flynn, at the
ter man although more work and SCI
ence may make Morris the logical
candidate
