CARL MORRIS EASILY
Brooklyn Boxer Proves Too
Much for Oklahoma Giant
in Ten-ROund Bout.

NEW YORK, March 2l-Jim Stewart
of Brooklyn punctured holes in all that
was left of Carl Morris as a white hope
at the Empire A. c. last night. The
Broohynite had all the better of five
rounds, while Morris did well to gain the
honors in three sessions and to even up
in two chapters. Morris smashed Stewart
about in the early sessions. but he tired
and Stewart beat him all over the ring
in the last five rounds.
Both men carried out of the ring two
badly damaged left eyes. Early in the

fought great uphill battle.
Stewart was The first to land. He hit
Carl in the stomach. Norris came back
with q right to the face. In a half clinch
Morris uppercut Stewart hard to the
face with a right. A right cross to the
face followed, which cut open Stewards
left eye.
Morris tore into Stewart as soon as
the bell rang in the second round and
planted hard right to Jims face
Stewards eye was in bad shape and Nor

Stewart started to mix in the third
round and shook Morris up with sue

to the face. Morris stood away, and
with straight lefts hit Stewart and then
fell into clinches.
Wrestling marked the early session of
the fourth round. Stewart eventually

Carl began to use his right in the eighth
chapter, and he landed a good hook to

sections.

EXPERT ANCIENT DEN
TISTRY.

From the Journal of the American Medical
Association
Dentistry. though considered peculiar
ly modern. has been found highly devel-
oped in the past. Actual specimens of
ancient dentistry may he seen i'm various
European museums. The most interes:-
ing of these specimens, because the old
est, is a Phoenican example of bridge
work found in a tomb at Sidon. The
specimen is now in the Louvre at Paris.
and consists of a part of the upper jaw
of woman with the teeth united by
gold wire. Two of them are trans
planted teeth fastened i'm by gold wire.
In the museum of Corneto (Which was
the ancient Tarquinii, the capital of the
Etruscan federatiom may he seen num-
Der of marvellous specimens OF dental
work of the sixth and seventh centuries
before Christ. They consist mainly OF
bridgework done by riveted bands OF
metal. One of them supported three ar
tificial teeth. two of these ARTIFICIAL teeth
being made out OF a single ON tooth
grooved to initiate rather closely two
human teeth. In the laws of the twelve
tables written in Rome 40 Il. G., while
it is expressly forbidden to bury gold
ornaments with bodies, special eXcep-
ton is made for gold with which the
teeth may perchance be bound together.
The museum of Pope julius at Rome
contains "a gold cap made OF two small
plates of gold stamped out To represent
rather closely a middle lower incisor and
these two pieces soldered together to
form the crown of a tooth.
The satiric poets of Rome. especially
Martial, refer frequently to artificial
teeth. Martial speaks of an old woman
who was scared that as she ran
away her teeth fell out. In one epigram
he answers the question why one wom-
ans teeth are dark, while another's are
white. though both are of the same age.
by saying that one of them buys her
teeth. while the other has her own. The
Romans had a number of different kinds
of dentifrices- and took great care of
their teeth. GaIen describes a form of
pastille containing aromatics and opium
that might be used as a toothache gum.
The filling of teeth with various kinds
of metal is described by CELSIUS, though
the first sure reference TO gold filing
does not occur until about the middle of
the fifteenth century. The transplanta-
ton of teeth, especially from the
mouths of slaves into those of their
mistresses, seems to have been practiSed
rather commonly in the early days of
the Roman empire.

EXPERIMENTS IN ORIENT

From the Scientific American.
AS compared with the normal process
by which towns come into being, their
development proceeding spontaneously
and by slow stages, it is interesting to
note the occasional deliberate construc-
ton of large seaports and other towns

few years time, the motive being some
times political and sometimes commercial

to these successful experiments in city

Sharpe Supreme at Cornell.

If DIR. Albert III. Sharpe is able to en-
force his dictum of hands off at Cornell
his chances for developing a winning foot
ball team will be greatly enhanced. From
inspired sources the announcement is
made that DR.. Sharpe will not tolerate
individual coaching from former gradu-
ates who may return to Ithaca from time
to time. The interference from this sort
of coaching has been responsible for
many of CornelFs misfOrtunes in the past
DR.. Shapes attitude is not one of hos
tility toward former Cornell graduates,
for he says he wants their assistance but
he insists that their advice must be given
to him first, and then passed on to the
players only with his consent.
The majority of Cornell men express
the greatest confidence in DIR. Sharpe, and
feel that the time has come at last for a
reversal of form in the foot ball developed
at Ithaca. There should be no doubt of
this. for Cornell certainly has better raw
material than any of her big rivals: in
deed, % per cent better than Pennsyl-
vania. Heretofore it has gone to waste
largely through lack Of system and lack
of harmony. Whenever Cornell gets

Hereafter this body will not disqualify
an athlete for having played summer
base ball provided he has not played
with team which operates under the
national agreement. For more thas two
months committee has been conduct
ing an investigation into the amateurism
of college athletics. With an offer to
treat their cases leniently the conference
has requested all students to sign a
statement showing their complete ath-
letic history, with instructions not to
spare the account of minor infractions
of the rules 1t is the understanding
that the association wants to start fresh
and as many students as possible will be
given the immunity bath.
Coincident with this announcement and
following the letting down of the bars by
the "big eight comes strong protest
from Capt Palmer Il. Pierce, president of
the National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton. Capt. Peirce objects strongly to
temporizing with professionalism among
college athletes, and says that his asso-
cation cannot tolerate for a minute the
lax rules proposed by the Western Con-
ference Association. The big eight is
certain to encounter great deal of
trouble with other intercollegiate associa-
lions, not to mention the A. A. L., If it

lation of the amateur code in summer
