HIS Next Go Is Win Al Benedict at
Toronto on January 10ih--No Big
Match With Flynn soon.

According TO an interview given
out recently in New York, by
Carl Morris, the white hope he is
coming home for Visit real soon. F..
y. ufer, his manager, Is now in New
York, having gone there 10 witness
the Morris-Konnedy fight Whether
or not Morris win return with his
manager is not known.
Morris has been away now for near
IS six months. Immediately after his
fight with Jim Flynn he announced
his desire to come back TO Tulsa for
q visit, but he failed to carry out his
wishes, owing, probably to the in
sistent demands OF his veteran trainer,
Billy Newman, that he keep his nose
10 the grindstone.
Many reports have gone out re-
Gently condemning alleged matches
that Carl was supposed to have made.
The truth Of the matter Is that he has
only one definite fight in view That

weight who he is scheduled 10 go
against for ten rounds at Toronto,
Canada, on January 10th. Benedict,
while he has not national reputation,
is dangerous boxer, and should
Morris get the decision over the Ca

step In his march toward another
meeting with Jim Flynn. 1t is prob

ment has been filled. lie intends re-
naming here about a month.
Things are beginning to be interest
ing In the white heavyweight line,
since the two bouts In New York last
week, which returned Carl Morris
and Al Palzar as victors. Palzar, after
being outpointed by Tom Kennedy, the
gentleman fighter, in a 1O-round go,
went into the ring and knocked out
Al Kaufman, in five rounds, or Just
four rounds quicker than Jim Flynn
did the same trick. Morris then out
pointed Kennedy, thus eliminating in
two fights, two Of tho foremost white
hopes in the country, namely, Ken
nedy and Kaufman.
There are now but three white hea-
VyWeights in the country today who
are even considered as having cham
pionship calibre. They are Al PalZar
Carl Morris and Jim Flynn. 1t will
merely be an elimination proposition
to pick a winner from these three, and
II must be admitted that Our Carl"
holds four aces in the three-handed
game.
Morris challenged Al Palzer the
other day, but Al, wisely enough.

Kaufman originally had the match.
but his defeat gave the victor the op-
portunity. There is a bare possibility
that Palzar viii slip over haymaker
at the opportune moment and win
from Flynn, but only a possibility.
Palzar has the punch, all right, but
lacks several other things. Flynn will
no doubt win in the first ten rounds
of the battle.
That Morris will get the winner Of
this battle seems unquestioned. II
he does the match should be staged
at Frisco or some other Pacific coast
point Ten rounds are not long
enough for Carl to get wound up
Like every other heavy
weight who has ever made good, Nor
ris needs at least dozen rounds to
size up his opponent and get strung
out properly. A 20-round fight with
will give Carl the undisputed decision,
and by the Knockout route at that, in
the opinion Of the real dopesters.
Morris does not hope 10 get a fight
with either Flynn or Palzer before
spring.
