Carl Norris Takes
Up Training Again :
in New York CITY

NEW YORK, Oct. H.-wlth the In
domitable pluck that he showed In his
fight with Jim Flynn, Carl Morris has
again taken up the training grind at the
new Polo Athletic club with the declared
intention Of making good In New York
the scene OF his recent disaster. New
Workers have little time to devote 10
loser, and Morris has been cast aside as
hopeless failure by most OF the fight
fans Yet to condemn him absolutely
may be as much Il mistake as was the
ridiculous idea that he would be a star
OF the game at his first attempt.
When analysed the result OF his fight
with Flynn shows that he really did won
derfuly well when all the facts are taken
into consideration. The result OF the
contest, instead of being a cause for con-
demnation, should be the cause for high
praise. The fact that Morris was able
70 last for ten rounds with an experienced
man OF F'lynns~ caliber was worthy
feat for novice. II Morris hitting
muscles are developed as thOy are capa-
BILE of being Flynn would never last half
the distance.
But Morris was poorly handled In spite
OF the money spent on his training. In
stead OF work calculated TO develop hit
ting power he got long runs on the road
that took off surplus weight. and speed
and snap as well. He has never had
the use OF a well-equipped gymnasium
before and In fact is just becoming ac-
quainted for the first time with the uses
OF the different paraphernalia OF an up
to-date training quarters. Morris Is only
% years old, and despite his great size
his muscles have not been developed. He
IL boyish and good-natured as well as
intelligent, and, like all game men, is
free from buster, Altogether he has a
winning personality that causes every
one who comes In contact with him TO
feel friendly toward such q good-natured
person from the first.
AZ the New Polo Athletic club, where
he 10 now training under the management
OF Billy Newman, Morris will have the
benefit Of intelligent coaching. A match
with some local man viii be obtained
for him IN few weeks. When the name
Al Palzer, Tom O'Rourkss white hope,
was suggested TO Morris as a possible
opponent the big fellows face lii up H.
a happy grin. Morris likes fighting and
makes light OF the injuries received In
the Flynn combat The truth Is that
while he presented a repelhng sight his
injuries on that occasion were superficial
His brain was clear and he was strong
on his feet, although bathed In blood.
This naturally made him look worse than
he really was. Whether or not Morris
has the latent ability TO eventually be-
come a champion Is more or less OF a
mystery. Yet one cannot help admirinG
a man possessed OF such sterling courage

SPRACKLING GIVES ADVICE
Keep Cool Head is Tip Coming from
the Star Quarterback.
GOOD KICKERs ARE IN DEMAND
In East Long, Low Punt il Gaining

Is FOnnd TO BE Hard TO
Handle.

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-"Keep a cool
head" Is one of the leading tips that
Earl Sprackling, All-American quarter
back last year, gives to aspiring foot
ball players. Sprackling recently handed
out few bits OF advice which will no
doubt prove Of value to schoolboys. He
cited several instances of where players
had forgotten even the simplest things
about foot ball in the excitement of a
game because of the fact that they got
ratified. Goodness. he said, was one OF
the main requisites for a player running
a team.
sprackling laid some stress on the need
Of good kickers this year. There are
many kinds OF kicks in foot ball and as
many ways to make them" says the
famous gridiron star. The most COM
mon is the long, high punt. Mckay,
Browns captain last year, was the best
man ever saw at this style. He held
the ball at arms length and on a level
with his head, the ball pointing in at an
angle OF thirty degrees. He brought his
leg up straight TO the knee until his
foot turned inward at the same angle as
the ball. He caught the ball on the
side, giving it the spiral twist. His
kick continued through until his foot
was over his head.

ten yards high. and Is hard to handle
Pennsylvania quarterback had this kick
down fine last year. His kicks would
travel through the air for twenty yards
hit the ground, then roll forty to fifty
yards more.
THE drop kick and place kick will be
more important this year. for there Is
lack of scoring plays within the
twenty-yard line. A team must have 4
man who can make field goals. The
place kick gives more distance, but &;
less accurate than the drop kick, be.
cause two men handle the ball in the
former.

Sending National Guard Officers to Sar
Antonio an Admirable Move.

| knew something of the National
Guardsmen during the Spanish war,
and these men on the train pleasantly
astonished me with their real knowl-
edge of the basic military facts, and,
especially, their keen appreciation of
that matter of strict cleanliness. In
1898 a good part of the sickness in
the camps was due to the ignorance
of officers. Many men and regiments
were certainly infected who might
have been kept clear of it if their off
GERS had known how to make camp
and maintain camp, if they, themselves
had understood the real necessity of
certain small precautions, if their ad-
marable spirit of American independ-
ence had not, through lack of knowl-
edge, led them into an unadmirable in
dependence of necessary army sani-
tary regulations. The taking of militia
officers to the manoeuver camps, this
year, will do much to correct this for
the future. The lessons taught by the
terrific sick-rolls of the Spanish war
were well learned by the regulars, TAX
en- to heart and utilized, and the militia
men who visited the camps had this
impressed upon them and received it
with high intelligence. They will
spread the knowledge. 1t is, therefore.
easier to feel confidence in our citizen
soldiery than it was before this move
was made. Whatever the shortcomings
of our army may be, it is safe to say.
I think, that it now knows the great
importance of clean camps, good food
properly prepared, extreme care about
all drinking water conservation of its

Juarez, Mex, May 2f.-The difficult
ties confronting General Francisco J..
Madero, regarding his trip to Mexico
city. are being considered by the in
surrecto leaders today. 1t Is consider
ed unfortunate that Madero, the ayow-
ed leader of the insurrectos should
have to prepare armed protection for
himself to go to the capital II is be-
lieved there is a possibility of Madero's
train being blocked in remote region
on the way to the capital. The sugges-
tion that the insurrectos near Mexico
City may not have been informed OF
the signing of the peace agreement is
not regarded as fully explaining the
situation. General Figueroa, the rebel
chief, operating near Cuernavaca, will
lay down arms until Madero is safe
in the capital. In adyices to Madero
today Flgueroa said he was in entire
sympathy with him, but intends to
remain armed until the provisional
government is definitely established.
