Carl Is Changed
Tho men meet in the center of the
ring carl goes about It like a man who
is intent ON winning quick. He does
not look nor act like the Carl that so
cleNerly boxed Luther McCarty at
Springfield. He hits to hurt now and
Con realizes quickly that he is out
matched. Carl makes wild swing
that misses ana he dives over Cons
SHOULDER. The two fall to the mat,

his corner \ short left hook and a

by Carl, Con hesitates for brief

to "writhe In agony" on the floor The
referee tolls off the count OF ten. Con
attempts TO rise to his feet. but falls
back, apparently exhausted. He Is
lifted To his corner. where, amid the
cheers OF the crowd he is given a drink /
of bug juice. His manager tells the |
people round the corner that Con Is |
almost unconscious. Behind the fun |
ny expression on Cons face. however, ,
lies a concealed grin, and he has Wis |
ions of what $i00 win do in the Windy /.
city when the lights are brightest. In |
the meantime carl has beat It for his |
dressing room one more dub has
been placed against him and he is
thoroughly disguised.

stride at last. ell has forgotten the
fancy stun they taught him in New
York, And the oaly way Carl Morris
can ever become champion is by
lighting his natural style, using good
punches and swings instead of jabs
and footWork, ana pitting his weight
