,an.e.,., from United Press.)

%cew York, Sept. 16-A sadder but wiser man. Carl Morris awoke, today, ana eazed On the wreckage of one of the best advertised white hopes in Jack Johnson's history. The debris was none other than Carl himsef. Some of the casualties were, one broken nose. one tightly closed eye, several missing teeth, cuts and bruises foo numerous to mention, ana one cheek puffed to twice it's pormal size.
 Morris had a very terrifying exper- fence last night. His 10 round bout with Jim Flynn. at Madison square Garden was the goriest New York has seen in many years-Morris sup plying most of the gore. The Giant Otlahoman was at no time match for his sdiminutive adversary, and was given an awful trouncing. It was generally conceded that, as white i1opes Morris is quite hopeless but ne has at least treated Gotham to as fine an exhibition of courage as It ever saw.
 During the last few rounds the slauxflter. became so terrible that hardened fans at the ringside begged Morris to quit but the big, fellow was game to the core and was ready to take all Flynn could send. Fiynn
  ring looked like a busy day at the stociyards Morris, in many respects, showed little power as a scrapper ana If LiI Artha could have seen him he probably would have expired rom mirth The giant is strong and Wiii- ing but is one of the most amateurlsn sluggers that ever aspired to 5onn. n. may improve in time but for the most y3art those witnessing last nights mill believe him a has been already. In compliance with the present lew York law the referee gave no formal deci- sion Tn this case, however. none was needed.
 Flynn had the giants measure from the first to the final clang of the gong. Norris went to his corner at the end of the first round with his left eve partly closed and badly cut his nose and mouth badly bruised and bleeding At the end of the second round Carrs right eye was completely closed and the whole right side of his face had swelled abnormaHy.
 At the end of the third round his seconds cut open Morris's eye and att tempted to draw out the swelling. They did not succeed and from the third round on Norris presented pit fable spectacle. His features bore no resemblance to a human face. Besides 
 Morris vomited blood from his stom- ach Flynn battering him unmerci- fully about the body.
 Flynn made a show of Morris in the first two, rounds Morris had a shade the better of the third and fourth ses- sions. In all the remaining rounds be acted only as. buffet for F1ynn's blows.
 The only marks that Flynn bore of the contest when he ninbly jumped out Of the ring at the end of the tenth round was a partly closed left eye. Morris damaged F1ynn's port optic with one of his right uppercuts in the fourth round.
 There were not more than 4.500 per- sons in the big amphitheatre by fight time Most of the crowd was in the cheaper-priced seats, the gallery be- ing filled and the balcony we'll occu- pied, while the arena; arena box, floor and ringside box seats were not more than half filled. Many thought the fight would attract an even larger throng than the record crowd which packed the Garden on the night of the Brown-Wells fight.
 It was the exorbitant prices that kept the crowd away The gallery seats sold for g. Balcony seats went for s and s, while arena and arena box seats brought from s to $10. Floor seats sold for $1O and ringside boxes went for S20.
