Doctors Examine Oklahoma
White Hope and Find His
Nose Broken and Right Side
of His Face Badly Swollen.
BY ALEX. SULLIVAN.

~ARL MORRIS. the Giant White
Hope, carried the unparalleled
~ game spirit he displayed In the
ring right into his dressing room. He
didn't think his injuries warranted n
attention.
II was only q matter OF q few minutes
after the bruising contest against Jim
Flynn. tho fighting fireman. was over
before huge Morris climbed through the
ropes and hurried to q small room un-
derneath the stairs on the Fourth ave-
nue. side Of Madison Square Garden.
There was q large group Of fans IN
front Of the door. and 1t was necessary
for his handlers to force an opening for
their charge SO that he could, enter the
room.
No sooner was Carl inside than his
handlers stripped him of his hght!ng
toys. and as he sat on the bench with
his head bowed down the club physician
and Prof. Taylor Of the Polytechnic
Hospital examined his badly swollen
face. 1t was found that his nose was
broken, but no other serious damage
done.
The great White Hopes face on the
right side was pulled out about two
inches and his right eye was blackened
and practically SO tightly closed that
he couldn't, see out Of It. The left side
OF his face vas but slightly swollen and
the vision In his left eye unlmpaired.
His lips were cut and bleeding.
A hurry call was issued for a bucket
Of hot water. When an attendant ar
rived with 1t two large towels were
dropped In II and after they were thor
oughly soaked they were wrapped around
the courageous pubil!st's head one at a

slightly reduced. A prescription was

suit Of the Flynn-Morris 70 was re-
ceived here at Morris's home with

AND THEN.

From that time to tho end Flynn had
the best Of II again. There va more
power behind his arm-more accuracy
and skill in his hitting. Morris turned
the tide now md then for a second. but
in tho main ne was getting the punish

stood still and dropped his arms over
Flynn's shoulders. while the fireman
hammered furiously at the weary
giants body. Even then Morris would

asked. And the crowd. that always

Others were urging White TO stop the

Morris begged White not to interfere

Morris fought back. Flynn's blows
