How Carl Morris
 Trains For Flynn
White Hope, Who Stands 6 Feet 4 and Weighs 241,
 Works Hard

A man remarkable physically is following a pugilist's training routine
 down at Allenhurst. N. J. He is punching bags and men, limbering his legs by road runs. developing his wind by rope skipping, making pliant his waist muscles by body bending gyrations and getting into as rugged condition as exercise will permit. For Carl Morris is working hard-harder than he has ever before.
 This hope of white hopes, from far-off Sapulpa, Okla, makes his de- but shortly in a bout\ with sturdy Jim Flyn. That's why the DeFor- rest place at Allenhurst is so busy these days. Morris wants that de- frame can make it.
 So Morris is crashing along, beat ing up his sparring partners with pla- cid constancy. First Williams, a big white boxer, gets pounded about; then a. negro takes his turn. On them reach up his forearm almost to the elbow. They are soft, with rolls of bedding resembling somewhat the gauntlets of a broad-swordsman. It is we'll that they are soft, for the force that propels them is terrific. It is easy to imagine one of 0em splin- tering a door of the De Forest house. And despite the waist-overfieshy now Morris moves about with an ease and speed that promises we'll. But it is the frame upon which Morris hangs that impresses.
 A glance at Morris and you are impressed with the power of him. He towers over you-6 feet 4 inches of him-a great deal of bone and a great deal more muscle. He does not need to speak to let you know that he has not been a pugilist all I-.- head and an intelligent. pleasant face tells that. His hair is dark brown and his eyes blue. A rather prom inent nose. square jaws and thick neck immediately impress you that their owner is a man who "does things
 The mans body. legs and arms are suited to the calling that he has chosen. The shoulders are develop ed wonderfully. Chest and back are wide and tell of great lung power. Were it not for his great height the Eighty-four inches is the reach of them. His belt binds little surplus flesh. The waist is thin, as big mems waists go, but not too thin. Layers of muscles protect the stomach. Like the arms. his legs are long. But they are well developed, solidly construct ed. Perhaps, above the knees the f1eeh is too thick. If so, training will take away that which is not needed.
 It would appear that nature had destined Morris for fighter when she made his hands. They are wide and thick, thick like the professional race drivers who has fought the steering wheel through hundreds of miles. But it is when these hands are doubled up that their enormity is revealed. It is easy to imagine one of them the head of some giants sclub. Five knuckles bulge like great knobs. It would be more pleasant to be kicked in the face by a cleated footb01l boot than to he struck by that hand. Everything about Morris indicates power-his arms, his forearms, his biceps And it's a power that can be applied well, for despite his size Morris moves easily without a sign of awkwardness, a 241 pound giant, with no muscle developed out of proportion to the others.
 Morris is not inclined to lengthy He has not the bash fitness that persons like to attribute to the physically big man. Rather it is a sensible silence, a modesty that lets a manager do the talking.
