Carl Morris Has
 Better Of Kennedy
 In Vicious Fight
White Hope Shows Great Im- provement Since Engage
 ment With Jim Flynn

Tom Kennedy, the local heavy weight. who has been touted as the real and only white hope" met his master last night. when he was worst ed in a fast ten-round bout at the Empire A. c. by Carl Morris, the Ok lahoma Giant. Morris clearly out pointed Kennedy, and several times had Tom. the one-time amateur heavyweight champion, on the route to dreamiand. Kennedy met in Mor- ly whipped by Flynn in Madison Square Garden, but heavyweight who has absorbed much knowledge of ring science since that defeat.
 The Sapulpa engineer showed up ex- ceptionally we'll in his battle with Kennedy. the result being that Tom was decisively beaten. Although Ken nedy proved to be punching bag for Morris, he was game to the core, and was always ready to come back for more. At times things looked dreary for Tom. the >wallop of Morris causing him to show signs of collapsing.
 In the tenth session Carl came out of his corner with a rush and for the full three minutes connected with a fusilade of left and right hooks. He staggered Kennedy early in the round, and then, getting Tom against the ropes, peppered his face with left swings Kennedy came toward the centre of the ring and attempted to clinch, but Carl. who fought clean battle all the way, sidestepped him.
 It was then that the Oklahoma giant cut loose with a series of blows that almost brought him the bacon by the knockout route. Carl landed vici- ous blows to all parts of Kennedy's bruised body and swollen face. AL though Kennedy stood in the centre of the ring practically helpless. un. able to land a blow in return for the large number he was receiving, he managed to last through the round. Kennedy was all in from the punish ment, and it is doubtful that he could have stayed in the ring much longer against his stronger adversary. The gong brought sweet music to his ears.
 Morris had the better of eight of the ten rounds. In those eight ses- sions the Sapulpa engineer had a large margin on Kennedy. He out fought and outpointed Tom. Ken nedy was a disappointment to the fans. He often jabhed his left to Carl's face. but in return for each jab Morris slipped three over to his face. Kennedy earned the honors in the fifth round. and the first session ended in an even break 8

 Jimmy Canavan for manager of tha New Haven club is the talk in the Elm City Just now. Canavan is a favorite with the fans. He knows the game thoroughly. He had great success as a manager in the New Eng land League and will also be remem- bered as the man who pTloted New Haven to a pennant in 1904. Jerry Conneli is not popular in New Haven, and the crowd does not want to see him at the head of affairs in 1912.
 The Springfield Union does not take the farewell of Hi Ladd very serious ly. It suggests thet when Hiram hears the call of the diamond of 1912 he will be anxious to don the old uni form and get busy again.
 They are great at manufacturing press agent stuff in New Haven just now. The latest yarn is to the effect that Bugs Reis;gl has been given a sweater which was promised him last summer by Owner Cameron providing Reisigl won 20 games for the Wings. The official record showed Reisigl won 19 and lost 15, and when Bugs admit ted that he hadn't come through, why Cameron sent sweater as a Chr st. mas gift. If you don't believe this, they'll tell you another.

 Transfer of Ontario & Western,

New Haven, Dec. 28-"The purchase of the interest of the New York Gen. tral in the Rutland system has no connection with the proposed trans fer of control of the Ontario & Wes- tern to the corporation first named" is an authoritative statement made at the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad here ro. day.

Paris, Dec. .2S-Because of the sensa- .tiona! nature of the evidence, the trial of the 19 prisoners accused of being implicated in the wtfte slave traffic will be private.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

A we'll known Western writer pays the following tribute to the new lead CT of the Cincinnati Reds:
 "O'Day IS a can, square, deter mined man. Those who know him only as an umpire perhaps do not real iez that he is a deep student Of men and affairs, conservative and smart man. He is not the quickest thinker, but one of the solidest, and put this down. that when ODay says anything that is exactly what he means and he intends to go through with it."
 Fred Clarke may manage from the bench, but he believes that his team nevertheless will be stronger than 1t was last season.
 a According to Clarke, his chief worry at present is over the first base job, and incidentally it might be mention ed that he is growing few gray haas 8 over the possibilities of Marty O'Toole, the 2,5oo pitching investment. In the way of first sack material Clarke now boasts of only Keene and Kilt her The latter is a recruit from the Virginia League, while Keene comes from the Springfield, O., cub, and if he shows the necessary speed he. should d corner.
 Clarke saws that Keene's slowness Is the only drawback.
 Ty Cobb doesn't believe that his connection with the stage helps Its bal playing to any extent and he is going to renounce the footlights. Jimmy Callahan, on the other hand, found in his existence as a thespian things which aid him as a manager.
 ''The bit of stare experience I had" says the Sox leader, "opened my eyes to some things that I think should apply to baseball I watched the re- hearsals for a show once and never realized before what a lot of work for a public audience. They went over minor details of the things time after time for hours and hours until they were perfected. I couldn't help but think at the time what roar some ball players would make if they had to do sone things in that way. think that it should be te some things done that way next spring.
 Joe Tinker says that Matty Is ''far from all in." Joe is evidently afraid that McGraw will stop pitching Big Six against the Cuhs, and Matty is the one pitcher that aids TInker's batting 
 Miner Brown states that he loses weight when he pitches against the Giants. He says this reducing is due both to work and worry during game. If worry cuts any figure, think of the poor fans when in the ninth inning. with a man on base and a run needed to tie, they see Chance stop the game and wave Brown in from the fence
