By Sam Bell.

ARL MORRIS has squared
himself with Atlanta fight
- fans. He stepped from under
the cloud of his recent transgres-
sions at the Dixie Athletic club last
night and, although shaded by his
shiftier opponent, Al Kubiak, the
philadelphia heavy, the oklahoma
white hope milled consistently 1t
vas the best card the local fight
Tub has put on this season.
Exhibiting a repertoire of in
achting that was surprising, Ku-
hfak started after Morris in the
second round. placing left and right
to the body with regularity through
fine bout. He easily shaded Morris
in the third round, scored a good
lead in the fifth, and put the fight
in mis- own hands by humping Nor
ris' stomach. fearfully in the tenth.
Referee SauPs decision giving Ku-
biak the bout was received with
cheers.
A
danger. Kubiak. although leading
and forcing the fight after the Sec
ond and third rounds, could do
UttIe more than make the Oklahoma
giant vince with his body tattoo.
Occasionally Morris flashed at his
opponent with vicious left jabs,
toIN
place on Kubiak's jaw. Both fight
ers started blows that landed on
the atmosphere, and Morris, after
missing his left, usually went into
clinch to be Outfought by Ku-
biak.
The fight went pretty much the
same round by round. Norris
would step out of his corner, dance
around Kubiak and start a left jab
or two. The pair would clinch and
Kubiak would begin on his oppo-
nent's wind, now and then step
ping back and starting a right up
percut that seldom reached it's
mark. Morris seemed to think he
could tire Kubiak by laying on him
in the hugs, but Referee Saul forced
the fighters to break when they
locked, and the program of the left
lab, the clinch and the infighting,
with the flash of the right uppercut,
would be rehearsed.
Despite the fact that some of the
rounds were tame, notably the first
and sixth, the fight pleased the
crowd and can be pronounced the
most interesting seen at the Dixie
club this year With the slashing
preliminary sessions, it was an ex-
cellent card.
The Fight by Rounds.
The first round was a adding
match. Morris opened cautiously
with a gentle left to Kubiak's face.

holding on to avoid the tiercest body
punishment yet exhibited.
Kid Young knocked Rat the
Rounder cold in the first prelimi-
nary, in the second round. Kid
Shepard picked out a soft spot and
laid down to Arthur Worthy in the
second bout.
In the third bout, Meyer Prizes
quit after two rounds of fierce mill
ing with AL Smith. of Jackson
vile, and Prizes manager said that
his boy was sick and had gone on
on three minutes notice, and be-
sides had to fight Spider Britt on
Christmas-so you see, etc.
Danny McShea took an awful
lacing from Kid Lavelle in the
semi-windup, and finally caved in
the third round. Lavelle beat him
at will and numerically after the
first session.

and rushed his opponent to the
ropes. Kubiak put a right across
Morris chin in the clinch, and
couple of easy hooks to the body.
Morris stung a left to the head as
the gong sounded.
The second round was even.
Morris continued using his left jab
on Kubiak's face and the latter
pushed in and played for the body.
Coming out of clinch, Kubiak sent
stiff right to the jaw that shook
the Oklahoman, and Morris missed
a couple of swings.
kubiak opened this session fierce
ly putting left to the chin and
pounding Morris ribs in the clinch.
Morris failed to put across a real
blow in this session. and it was
Kubiak's round.
The fourth was a tame round. as
far as sheer fighting went, albeit
full of fireworks. Kubiak landed a
right and left to the body early in
the round. and Morris jumped up
and pushed the Philadelphia to the
ropes, missing a vicious left swing.
kubiak Gets Going.
Kubiak took good lead in the
fifth round. tearing to Morris and
playing his wind with left hooks. He
made Morris vince with a fierce
right uppercut, one of the few he
started that reached a real mark
during the fight.
The sixth was tame, a repeti-
ton of the fourth.
In the seventh Morris came out of
his corner slowly but rushed Ku-
biak and put left to the face.
Kubiak banged him in the body
and the blow looked low Saul
warned Kubiak. Morris rallied
and rushed, but the stomach blow
had hurt him, and it was Kubiak's
round by a shade
The white hope squared his score
in the eighth, and if he had a shade
in any round, it was in this session.
Morris opened by missing a left,
but put three short hard ones to
Kubiak's wind, and the Philadel-
phian missed the next two blows
he started. Kubiak closed the
round with a gentle right and left
to face.
The ninth was an even round
and much like the others. Morris
jabbed and tried to shut off Ku-
biaks air. and the latter fought in
and pummeled the body.
Morris Had No Chance.
In the tenth Kubiak cinched the
fight In this session he stepped
out of his corner with a better
sense of direction, and his right
uppercuts landed several times. He
wrestled Norris to the ropes at the
middle of the session, and had him
