REICH IS MATCHED
TO FIGHT MORRIS
Go With Oklahoma Giant Real
Try0ut for New
Hope"
LEWIS DEFEATS RECTOR

AL Reich, the former amateur
champion heavyweight, who made
such an suspicious debut into the
professional ranks last week, has
been matched with Carl Morris, the
Oklahoma giant. for a ten-round
bout in Madison Square Garden Fri
day night
Reich created a favorable impress
sion last Friday night when he
stopped Sailor White in five rounds
at the Garden A. c. AT that time
it was generally conceded that he
had not shown all he knew, but just
enough to show that he is in possess
sion of a good left hand and a most
forceful right. Reich, who scales in
the neighborhood of 212 pounds,
shapes up better than any of the
recent aspirants to heavyweight fame
and has the speed of a middleweight.
Morris will probably outweigh him,
and is expected to give Reich thor
ough try-out.
Banty Lewis, the clever loca
boxer. outclassed Young Rector, OF
Jersey City. in a ten-round bout at
the Brown A. A., New York, Satur-
day night. The bell saved Rector
from a knockout in the tenth round.
Young Kelley, local lad, knocked
out Willie Herbert, of Jersey City, in
the third round.
Accompanied by his manager,
Jimmy Dunn, the featherweight cham
pion, Johnny Kilbane, left Cleveland
last night for Boston, where he will
meet Jimmy Walsh, of that city. in
twelve-round bout tomorrow night.
Kilbane expressed confidence in his
ability to defeat Walsh.
Three ten-round bouts will comprise
the card at the Atlantic Garden A. c.,
New York, tomorrow night. The prin-
cipals will be Bert Pagan, of Cali
fornia, and Young Ahearn, Larry
English and Johnny Howard and
Tommy Bergen and Bull Anderson.
Wildcat Ferns, of Kansas City, and
Billy Walters, formerly a sailor, were
matched last night to box ten rounds
in Kenosha, Wis, on September rs.
The winner, it was announced, will
meet Mike Gibbons, of st. Paul, in
contest two weeks later which the
promoters say will be for the welter-
weight championship. The weight will
be las pounds at o'clock.
Willie Richie, worlds lightweight
champion, who Cancelled the Van
couver bout with Freddie Welsh last
week, is said to be on his way to New
York to meet Leach Cross in ten
round bout in the Garden at an early
date Ritchie wired Gibson yesterday
that he was prepared to box Cross on
percentage basis.
Al Palzer has asked the ST. Nicholas
A. c., New York, to postpone his ten
round battle with Charlie Miller, the
California heavy, until a week from
Wednesday night, and his request has
been granted. Tom O'Rourke cannot
account for Palzer's defeat at the
hands of Frank Moran. He declares
that Palzer in training gave evidence
of return to his best form. but in
the ring seemed to forget everything
he knew
Battling Nelson has quit the fighting
game for all tirne. He hung on as
long as nature would permit and then
discovered that he was playing the
part of human punching-bag. Mel
son has plenty of money, and knows
how to keep it.
Johnny Dundee says he will make
match with Leach Cross if there's
enough money in sight. AS Dundee
demands a small fortune for his sery-
ices, New York promoters are letting
him severely alone
