Referee Question still in the Air;
Scat sale Going
Lively.

Predictions are being freely made
by local sporting students that the
contest between Frank Moran and
Carl Morris at the Tulsa bali park
arena on Labor day will end in six
or eight rounds. II will be the best
punching contest seen in years and
physical condition will play an i'm
portant part in its ending. Both
principals are heavy hitters. espe-
cially Moran. who has perfected
right-hand wallop second to none in
the heavyweight class. while Morris
is noted for his infighting and body
BON bardment.
1t is considered q good even money
bet here that Morris will be floored
in the first few rounds. for Moran in
tends to finish the scrap as quickly
as possible. although Carl Morris has
suffered a knockdown but once in his
career, and that was in his engage
ment some years ago with the late
Luther McCarty. The Sapulpa giant
is easy to hit in a miX-up, and anyone
Moran can hit clean is sure to take
count. even though it may not be
the fatal ten.
Is lie InNInCiblcy
There t1s been general impress
sion in Tulsa and Sapulpa and else
where in oklahoma that Morris is
invincible, but that impression was
mainly created through Morris meet
ing third-raters in his class, Gun
boat Smith being The best man he
has boxed in two years. Smith only
weighed 40 pounds and lasted ten
rounds with Morris, although he TOOK
a terrible beating Moran stopped
jim, Coffey in three rounds and again
in nine rounds. Then Coffey came
back later and stopped Smith in five
rounds.
Betting on the match is lively. A
well-known New York fan is here
with bankrOll of eastern money
and he is having no trouble in getting
It up on Moran. Sapulpa people are
taking tho Morris end OF any bet
they can get but Tulsans. who have
been seeing Moran work out. are in
clined to favor the Pittsburgher.
No Referee Yet.
The principals are still far from
an agreement as to he referee. They
have absolutely loc - horns and 1t
looks like the prom. te-j would have
TO arbitrate Morris prefers Billy
Pocap Of Philadelphia, while Moran
insists on Bill Brown or Kid Nc
Psrtland both New Yorkers. Morris
really wanted OTTO Floto. but Moran
threatened to blow up the match
raths sr than let a western man ref
cree the bout. The promoters are
endeavoring to get the two boxers
together on an outsider and have
mentioned Rubc Ferns. the former
