GOING TO COUNTRY

Frank Moran arrived in Tulsa yes
tcrday, looked the city over, took a
trip into the country to inspect pros
poctivc training camp sites, and an
nouncod that he was going to begin
training at once for his l5-round bout
with Carl Morris to be staged at As

noon of Labor day
Moran has a fighters face and a

been around the world, he has been
a sailor on the presidents yacht. he
is graduate dentist and he possesses
a vocabulary that is surprising
Sighs for Country.
ut is no hotter here than in New
York. he said yesterday afternoon
"lm not afraid of the heat What
want to do is to get out into the
country, away from the plate glass
windows ana the paved streets | am
going to train hard for this match. for
! know that | am not going to have
an easy time with this big fellow

Accompanying Moran were his
manager Ike Dorgan, and his spar

wclterwciGht champion of the world
He probably will take on some local
hcavics later on
Dorgan is polished young fellow,
and like Moran wears natty clothes,
such as might be worn by the average
New York business man. He is anxi-

Seemed Impatient.
Moran was so impatient to get set
tied down that two hours after he
arrived here he was in a car going
over the country roads in company
with the local promoters. He looked
over Midway park, three miles out Of
the city on the Sand Springs interur-
ban, and seemed to IKE the spot very
much. Trere is big open air
pavilion there, with shower baths
and space for rubbing rooms. etc.
Moran is anxious to get located near
body of water, as he is fond Of
swimming. He wants to build a hut
WI Niit bhlhS VI SOftlt stream or lake
near the city where he can be away
from the bowling mob.
Word comes from Sapulpa that
Morris IL deep in his training routine
and is working out at mis- private
gymnasium daily before large crowds
lie. too, likes the water and takes a
plunge each morning in tire big city
reservoir west Of Sapulpa. He is also
doing much road work and hopes to
get down to the smallest weight he
mas ever made in this state.
