WUEST AND cox MAY
Get TOGETHER Soon
BOTH HAVE SIGNIFIED THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO HOOK UP
AT SAPULPA OR TULSA.

There Is a strong possibility that
Harry Wuest, the Cincinnati heavy
weight boxer who was connected with
the Carl Morris camp last spring, will
box Joe Cox, the 19-year- Spring
field, Mo, phenom, at Sapulpa or
Tulsa some time next month.
Both fighters have signified their
willingness to sign articles for bout
and all that remains to be done to
bring the mill before the public is
TO find promoter who is willing to
stage the card. The fact that boxing
exhibitions are being staged in a
dozen towns in Oklahoma at stated
intervals, without. opposition of any
kind, is an indication that no inter-
ference will be made in the event an
attempt is made to put on strictly
''on the level" sparring matches in
this vicinity.
Wuest and Cox fought a memoir
pulpa last spring. Wuest was badly
battered up and was on the verge on
a collapse along about the tenth
round of the battle but he "came
oack" later on and put Cox to sleep
in the thirteenth.
Since that time Wuest has been in
training at Cincinnati and has had
several bouts with good men in that
Cox has been coming to the
front wonderfully in the last few
and recently knocked out Jess
Willard, the oklahoma City hope"
and Mike Schrcck, a Carl Morris vic
tim, hoth in short order, before the
Springfield Athletic club membership.
Wuest is being managed by Joe
Nolan, sporting editor of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, who wired the World
sporting editor last night that Wuest
was anxious to sign articles for bout
with Cox. Negotiations are under
way to have a Tulsa man handle the
card.

N0RRIS-GEYER BOUT
AROUSES MUCH TALK
LOCAL FANS LIKE BOTH MEN,
But WILL PLACE THEIR BETS
ON OkLAHOMAN.

In Tulsa the news carried yesterday
by the Associated Press to the effect
that Denver" Jack Geyer has been
matched with Carl Morris for a ten
round fight in New York on Novem-
ber 10, is received with much interest
principally because both parties to
the match are well known to Local
fans
But TO find man in Tulsa who
would lay money on Geyer to win,
would be hopeless task. There is
no gain saying the fact that Jack
Gcyer Is good man, and a game
one. Also he has some cleverness
But he lacks the punch and the
weight to do much against Morris.
Well, do We remember that day last
spring when Goyer was retained by
Manager Frank Ufcr to act as one
Of Morris sparring partners, one
days workout sufficed for the Den
Yer heavyweight After those five
rounds of boxing at the fair grounds
training quarters, Geyer threw up the
job. lie was too sick to stand up
coming to town from the quarters
that night. Several teeth We're gone
and his lips We're badly lacerated.
After that experience Geyer said no
more about getting a match with
Carl-until after he had whipped
Gunhoat Smith at Frisco, few
months aftcrward, when he began
doing out his press dope in anticl-
patton Of taking on the giant Okla
homon.
Gorer has been working out Of late
at Johnson's road-house near New
York City and be it said to his credit
that the impression he made upon the
fans up there was a highly favorable
one. He is a physically perfect figh-
ter with strong personality and Is
well liked wherever he is known, in
cluding Tulsa.
II Morris does not win declsivelv.
from Geyor inside OF five or six
rounds well some one viii have to.
request Hearts and Flowers from
the orchestra.
And IL Norris does win, which he
assredly will 1t viii go a long ways
toward placing him back in the good
rraocs OF those followers Of the
game who lost faith in him after the I
FLYNN affair.
Needless to say Morris has been
doing lard work every day for the
past several weeks, and will be in
great stvpc for his forthcoming bout
Altogether the match is a very fine
hing and a judiclous move on the
part Of Billy Newman, who is look
ug after Morris interests for +. b.

N 'B|RNEY GETS
DECISION ROAST
CLAIlllMORE FEELiNG AGAINST
FOOTBALL REFEREE Is
VERY INTENSE.
PLAYS ARE NOT covered
Rules Fail Ia Prove Adequate when
When rrcps aud Broken Ar
row Meet.

According TO the dope hantfd on
by the Claremore Daily I,ogrcss
feeling In the home Of Radifn water
IS very strong against Mr. Sam Me.
Birney Of Tulsa, who refereed the
football game between tho state uni
Norsity school Of Claremore and the
Haskell agricultural college OF Brok-
en Arrow, played on last Saturday AT
the Tulsa fair grounds In Monday s
issue of the paper, "A very bitter at
tack was made on Mcl}irnoys actions
as referee.
Just what the Clarcmore support
ers Of the team expect to gain by this
kind of unsportsmanlike action Is
hard 10 understand Naturally there
are two sides to the story, and TO
many people MIR. McBrneys actions
could not be satisfactorily explained.
The principal objection which the
ClaremoreItes make is on the decision
of the referee IN not allowing Clare
more n touch down, when one Of their
men fell on the bali back Of the goal
line, after Haskell man had fumb-
led n punt while standing on his own
goal line A search OF the rules falls
TO reveal any rule on which the ref
cree could base his opinion, but the
referee has the final power, and as
such the Claremore team must abide
by II.
Another sQuubble arose In the last
few minutes Of play which resulted
in the Clarcmore team leaving the
field The attack of McBirney states
that he was afraid to declare the
game forfeited to Haskell by the score
of one 10 nothing. This is not true,
as Mcl}irney told the sporting editor
of the World that the final score
should be to 0.
In this play, the trouble arose az
follows
The Haskell team had the ball on
Claremores 10-yard line. There was
still three minutes before time was up
The center snapped the bah to the
quarter back, and just then the ref
eree's whistle blew The Claremore
team stopped play thinking the ref
cree was calling foul of some kind
The Haskell man carrying the ball
iNNi'Nh ANNl Nllt bNil llilt ulllllbltHlths
Immediately all was excitement, the
Claremore men demanding the play
be brought back, and the Haskell
team that the touch down be allowed.
McBirney stated that he had the
whistle in his mouth, and when he
went to take breath, he blew the
whistle by mistake. He said that
under the rules he must allow the
touch down, and he was perfectly cor
rect
The Claremore coach then ordered
his team from the grounds and for
feited the game to Haskell This un-
sportsmanlike play called forth much
condemnation from all good sports
men,
The Claremore team Is clamoring
for another game with Haskell, and
II would probably be good thing to
let the teams fight 1t out again.
