sport shooting black-tail

good long range shots,

MORRIS Wins
over GEYER

New York, Nov. 1.-THE bout be-
tween Carl Morris. Oklahoma, heavy
weight, and Jack Geyer Of Denver was
stopped by Referee White In the
ninth round tonight Norris easily
outpointed the Denver heavyweight
throughout.
The ponderous Oklamoha man took
the scale at 235 with Geyer thirty
pounds lighter. The bout was a hard
fast battle. Although Morris out
pointed his man in every round, ex-
cepting possibly the first, Geyer
showed wonderful pluck and was
continually boring in. his most eff
fective blow being a short left upper
cut.
There was not knockdown in the
nine rounds. but frequently Morris
had his man on the ropes in the
rushes, for the ring was but seventeen
feet square, but the Denver man
showed his gameness by fighting hard
after his left eye had been closed.
The referee stopped the bout in the
ninth to save him from further beat
ing.
In the sixth, seventh and eighth.
Geyer fought more or less at random
being unable to see out of one eye
and was always weak at the bell.
Another round OF Morris forcing
convinced the referee 1t was time to
stop. The general verdict was that
Geyer was not outgamed but wholly
outclassed.

FARGO BOY STARS
in WORLD SERIES

For the first time in many many
years can an umpire abe referred to
as the star of a series. Yet, I'm re-
viewing the world series OF 1911, Bill
Brennan must always be remembered
as having starred.
Bill is going on the stage soon like
the regular ball heroes. He de
butts" out west and his entertainment
consists of a series of talks on the
worlds series and analysis Of the va
rious plays. The lecture will be Illus
trated by moving pictures.
1t is doubtful If Brennan viii tell
of the play he made liz the series. 1t
was on Snodgrasss the most discussed
player on the New York team.
"Let Him Walk"
Three times hal Snodgrass secured
his base by stepping in the way Of
pitched balls. Twice had Bill KLEIN, a
National league umpire, allowed Snod-
grass to go to first and the next time
l. was Tommy Connolly who told him
he was entitled to the bag.
The majority of spectators thought
that Snodgrass deliberately stepped
into theepitch. Any expert eye could
detect that and by deliberately step
ping into the ball Snodgrass was not
entitled to his base. But that mob

Much to the disappointment OF the
football fans Of the city the champion

until next Saturday. Although the
management had gone to great ex-

it would be in good condition for
the game. the continual snow and
wind storm made it impossible 70
play. However, both schools felt as
though there was too much at stake
to call off the game altogether. so
IT was decided to postpone 1t until
Nov. Is. This will give them
chance to clear the snow from the
side lines, and when the straw Is
removed from the gridiron. as good a
