Carl Morris a Comeback;
To Seek Bouf With Willard!

The question OF finding a man 10
meet Jess Willard who would furnish
a real battle is causing much COM
ment in the boxing world.
Willard is far from a popular cham
pion. His greed for money and de-
mands for big purses to meet men
who would not have any chance " III
him have turned the public against
the man who could have been the
most popular champion in America
Little fellows like Carpenter. Le-
whisky, and Dillon, would not have
chance with tho giant champion
The man most talked OF was Fred
Fulton until Fred ran out Of match
W th Frank Moran recently.
But from Kansas City comes word
that Carl Morris Is back in shape He
recently boNed Levinsky there and
the report Is that he has learned a
great deal more than he knew when
Luther Mccarthy knocked him out in
1912.
Excepting Fulton. Morris is the
only fighter who approaches Willard
in size and strength.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Young Zulu
Kid, a man at nineteen, will struggle
to put his dad on easy street when he
meets jimmy Wilde, Brita ms premier
iiyweight, in their 3O-round cham
pionshlp bout here December IL.
Between skeins of spaghetti in a
Little Italian cafe, the former Brook
4yn newsboy today told an old friend
OF his ambition. Zulu is a twelve
year-old in the matter OF weight and
inches, but he long has shouldered
half the burden of a family, including
seven kids besides himself
Il want TO buy a farm for my dad,
so he can quit the boot-black stand,
said Zulu. He isn't really an old
man, but his hair is gray from worry,
and his shoulders are stopped more
than they ought TO be. And he is al
ways tired from bending over to shine
shoes.
Il remember my school days IN
Brooklyn, when he stuck TO the game
and made me keep studying when
wanted to quit and get a job. l didn't
appreciate then what he was doinG
for me. but I know now that he could
have bought that farm years ago II
he had lodged the responsib lity.
When I graduated from grammar
school dad looked old enough to be
my grandfather. but he asked me II
I wanted TO go 70 high school. Oh.
he was game, even with the rest OF
the kids TO feed and buy suits for.
Il had been boxing little with my
newsboy friends, so ! naturally took
a chance on professional fighting.
Everybody was doing II in our neigh
borhood. Dad didn { kick, though ]
always found him waiting up for me
on fight nights with a little statuette
Of the Madonna and burning candle
on the table.
There's a little chicken run and
truck farm over on the Jersey side
that I've had my eye on for long
tine. II I get the winners end in
this fight with Wilde, it's gooda-bye
Shinola Dear for my old Dad"
Joe SarnO, the wealthy globe trot-
ter. swung a rope OF spaghetti nod
ding assent to the story. Joe's iurid
necktie shows that the firm OF Zulu
and Company has been paying goo@
dividends the last few months. Both,
boys remember their pan 'cky davs|

for match for Zulu and a worn

NEW YORK, Dec. l6.-Nationai
League magnates, with an annual meet
ing tucked away under thtir belts, began
today to do things. Part Of them board

Why Railroad Men Demand
EIGHT Hours..Continued
tContinued from page IL.

Continued from page IL
made that the men do not want an
eight hour day. but are simply after
an increase in wages. This absurd
statement has no basis in fact. as the
men do not want the overtime. and
the only way TO stop the working OF
the men overtime is TO put penalty
on the use Of overtime. so that the
railroads would move trains more ex-
peditiously and be more saving IN
their use Of the mems overtime work.
Pay for overtime to the worker Is
blood money. rs this money is made
after the man is worn out. needs
sleep and rest. and digs at his very
vitals, and makes hlm old before his
time.
Give railway tram service men
eight hours work. eight hours sleep
and eight hours to pass with their
families and they ask for no overtime
and no so-called e1orbltan; pay.
The shortage
The manufacturer, and shippers are
constantly brought face TO face with
car shortages throughout the tinted
States. which condition IS largely
brought about by slow transportation
u so-called dead frelgh, II cars
loaded with this dead or slow moving
',-lgh, were handled more rapidly to
destination, unloaded and returned TO
ser.i.e. the company would earn a
greater revenue on each ear. which IN.
crease alone would offset any add
tlonal expense the company would
sustain in making the change Keep
the trains moving by giving them the
amount OF tonnage they can handle
over the division and il will be seldom
that the trip cannot be made in eight
hours.
There is no good, logical reason why
railway and train service men should
not be on an eigh, hour basis. Before
the Federal 10 hour law Vas enforced
the companies worked the men 20 or
30 hours. but after this law became ef-
fective they found they could get the
trains through in IA or l. hours, and
they will find this can be just as cas-
lily cut TO eight hours as II was from
20 to l6 hours II needs only the CO.
operation OF the company officials with
the men to make an eight hour day on
railroads blessing. and At the same
time knock the shackIes off Of 90g.l.l
