/ don't think there5s white man in
the world who can beat Morris in his
present condition. He was not him
self when he fought Flynn and Stuart,
or at least when he came home from
New York. He was stale and over

pecially to allow man who has never

record for McCarty. have known
McCarty since he broke into the box
ing game He has beaten few stiffs,
but was himself beaten by middle
weights. Both jeff Clarke and Harry
Wuest beat him and Wuest is more
than his equal right now. The rea-
son am making such statements
about McCarty is that was third man
in the ring with him and Claude Box
of Oklahoma City, who can not even
put up his hands. Billy Mccartney
wrote Jimmy Kelley at Bartlesville
that Joe Hagen, Jack O'Brien's broth
er, had dropped into Springfield, and
would be good card for him. Kelley
who was promoting bouts at Bartles-
Vile, was sent cut and trumped up

and knew Box as soon as ! saw him.

not fight Kelley said: I'VE won't
put on the show" But Richardson
went ahead with it and can smell
1t yet. That Is the sort Of man Nc
Carney Is, and that's the way Luther
got his record. For the benefit of
boxing promoters, | wish you would

men like McCarty and Mccartney who
stopped boxing in the days of the Hor-
ton law in New York and kept few
who were on the level from making
an honest dollar at the boxing pro-
fession. The sooner the leeherous
CRATER is out of the game, the better
it will be for boxing and boxers.
