a story. emanatIng from Sapulpa, to
the effect that Carl was angry with

Carls Statement
Il deny every word in that article
about me quitting Ufer, said Carl, in
an interview with The World sporting
editor. How such untrue things get
abroad / am at loss TO understand.
This is not the first time that irrespon.
sible parties in Sapulpa have sent out
false reports concerning me, and when
| get home | intend to sift the matter
to the bottom.
"Why, | never even dreamed or
breaking with Ufer. We have always
got along the best in the world, and
i
against his treatment OF me. ! have
never even discussed the probability
of such thing, with anybody, and
there are absolutely no grounds Tor
such a report whatever
Carl is looking healthy and bouyant'
He has been "loafing' at st. Louis
n few days. with newspaper friends
and others.
Carl is matched TO box Con Comis-
key of Chicago at Sapulpa July il.
Has Been Fishing.
"I will not need to do much train
ing for my bout with Comiskey,' SAID
Norris. II have been enjoying fish
ing trip lately and am feeling great.
Carl is still worried about Luther
McCarty.
"I see Luther only got the decision
over the dub he went-up against at
Philadelphia last night remarked
Carl. That's pretty bad for him
Most everyone expected him to knock
his man out in a couple OF rounds
Every time they speak OF McCarty
now they say he is the man who
knocked out Carl Morris That's some
of Billy McCarney's press work. But
one thing is certain, McCarty Is go
Ing to evade match with me just
ms long as he can. | will fight nm
any number of rounds at any time
or place and even give him the best
of the money if he will only meet me
again. He don't seem very anxious
TO do so, however
Carl said that he talked TO Pierce
Matthews while in ST Louis. Matthews
was in McCarty's corner at Spring
field the night he fought Morris.
Matthews told me" said Carl, that
McCarty's seconds tried to work raz-
zle dazzle on me that night. They
buffaloed the referee so that he
wouldn't let me fight in the clinches--
but that's ancient history and it's up
to me now to make McCarty come
through with another match
Going to Dewey.
carl says he Is going to Dewey,
Okla. July to see wildcat Ferns
and Art Magirl tangle In their 10
round engagement on the afternoon
of that day.
''Keep your eye on this fellow Ma
girl" is Carls tip. 81 have seen him
In a couple Of fights and ! am con
fldent that he is one of the most prom
isng welterweights in the country.
He is more effective in the clinches
than Ferns, has much more power
full punch and is quicker feel safe
in predicting that he will best the
wildcat at Dewey. At any rate IT'S
gcing to be great battle and J
wouldn't miss II for anything
Morris was asked IL his old engine
Job on the railroad still awaited
him.
"You bet it does" he replied with
a smile. Il made run TO Alton the
other night on an oil burner passen-
ger engine and the trip did me good.
It's sure nice to know that a good po-
sltion always awaits you when the
eight game gets unreceptive toward
you"
