The condition of Carl Morris ia the
wonder of all who have visited his
camp at Sapulpa. The big engineer
must have been working day and ,
night. for he has achieved what ex-
ports said was impossible by getting
rid of the surplus weight that once
hung in large rolls around his waist.
Ikc Doran, manager of Moran, who
has seen Morris recently, says that
Carl has ovcrdone himself and is
likely to drop of exhaustion in the
ring on account of the strain he has
subjected himself to in reducing
weight Carl laughs at such state
ments and seems to be full of con-
fidencc.
Morans condition could not possi-
bly, be better. He has pursued a safe
and sane course of training and is
feeling strong and full of pep" The
fans Will see regular whrlwind and
the hardest puncher in the business
when he steps into the ring at the
ball park this afternoon to box with
his sparring partners.
