round glove battle that made the
crowd groan in anguish. 1t was a
buriesque from a boxing point of view.
as neither man knew the fine points
of the ring game. There is no reason
to doubt that the big fellows tried
their level best. but that wasn't much
to say the least
The difference that was apparent
was Wizards ability to hit with some
degree of accuracy, while Morris
seemed TO forget all about the knack
of landing his blows Both men fire.
quently broke the rules against hold
ing. Willard was the chief offender
In this respect, but Morris offset him
by butting with the top of his head.
Referee job warned them repeatedly
for the foul tactics. but allowed the
battle TO go the limit. Instead OF n
rip~snortinE scrap, the affair was a
rough wrestling mix-np a greater part
OF the way
WIZARDS best punch was right
hand swing which shook Morris re-
peatedlys and finally made his left
Jaw swell TO an alarming dagree.
Morris was game and willing. but ne
was outpointed by wide margin, and
was bitter disappointment.
AS for willard he did nothing to
warrant the belief that he is cham
