Willard to Meet Carl Morris-c!abby
After Chip.


the New York boxing commission is
not above reversing it's decision. 1t
has agreed to let Jess Willard meet
Carl Morris Wednesday night in
Madison Square Garden.
Willard was under suspension for
failing to fill an engagement in Buff
falo some time ago, and the commits
sion declared Jess would not be al
lowed to fight within the state until
the time of his suspension had ex-
pired. They were going to be firm;
oh, very, very firm.
So far as the fight itself is con-
cerned, we refuse to become en-
Unused. 1t is not high-class attrac-
ton, and should be one-sided, with
Morris having an easy victory set up
for him. Willard has done nothing
lately to entitle him to consideration
from fight followers.
Morris, on the other hand has
blossomed forth as one of the best
of poor heavy crop. The Okla
homa engineer has lived down me-
diocre past, during which he took |
beating after beating, and lately has
been administering severe punish
ment to his opponents.
Jimmy cIabby is coming east to
meet George Chip, the Scranton
Greek, who feIled Frank Klaus with
a punch. The Hammond man licked
Frank Logan so decisively that there
was no talk of return engagement,
and there were no other men Of his
speed left on the coast.
A bout between Chip and >CIabby
should greatly clarity the middle
weight championship muddle. Each
of these boys has put away highly
touted men, and the winner of their
battle can claim high honors without
being derided. 81
