NO "PINK TEA" GAME
AS Carlo. Morris Would Not
Get to First, Is His
Opinion.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1.-two
famous aXioms are proved by the re-
spective careers of Battling Levinsky
and Carl Morris, who meet in 10
round bout for the privilege of meet
ing jess Willard at convention hall
Tuesday night
one of the aXioms What's i'm "A
name ?" Battling Levinsky proved a
name has lot to do with It's owners
career. For years he travelled around
under the ring name of Barney Will
| liams. His record under that cog
nomon is nothing to brag about lie
was just a far-to-middlin light
heavy and the wires were never bur
| doncd by the stories OF his ring deeds
in those days
Finally the Battler decided his ring
name was "A iinX. So he switched IT
t. his real name. Levinsky, and
tackled on the Battling. Since that
time Battling Levinsky's record Is one
long string Of successes and his name
now is known in every nook and cor
ner of the globe.
Ask the Battler TO what he attrib-
utes his success and he will tell you
the same story.
81 couldn't get anywhere travelling
under false colors, but when | came
out under my real name | began to
go ahead" said Lcvnsky at the
Kansas city Athletic club yesterday
Persistence Rewarded.
And now for Carl Morris.
Carl threw his hat into the ring the
day Jack Johnson defeated Jim JEFF
fries at Reno. Carl climbed down
from his engine, gathered a small
group of Sapulpans around him, and
said:
Fellow citizens, the white race has
been disgraced today. / make you a
vow. ! will never rest until | have
brought the title back to the white
race"
The word ran like wildfire and pa
pors i'm every city of the nation gave
| il space. Thus the original white
hope was born, and for a time he
usurped the spotlight belonging to
johnson. Millionaire oil men formed
| syndicatcs to back Morris and a
wonderful gymnasium was fitted up
/ for him. When he stepped from his

Badgers Score on Eumblc.
Wisconsir's second touchdown
second period, after a tumble on the
Haskell 25-yard line. Taylor drove
a pass over the line to Meyers, who
eluded the Indians secondary de-
fCnse for the score.
Wisconsins second touchdown
came just before the close of the
game, after an exchange of punts and
a twenty-yard sprint by simpson had
put the ball on the Indians one-yard
line. Kreusel dived over center for
the touchdown.
Instead of meeting a complacent
eleven ready for defeat by a comfort
able score, Wisconsin found in Has
kell an eleven possessed of a driving
attack and aided 10y a long-distance
punter in Fullback Black. AS many
as four times after Haskell gained
striking distance Williams tried to
score by booting the ball from place
ment His attempts all went wild.

J. DoRdon.HThe successes of the en-.
, tslie allies are following each other
with great rapidity. Monday brought
neys. of further important gains for
them on both the western and east
ern fronts. arousing enthusiasm
among the British public hardly less
than that caused by the reception OF
the first news OF the, allied offensive.
The dispatch OF Gen. Sir Douglas
Haig shows that the steady pressure
of the British arms is forcing an ever
= deepening salient into the German
lines, and the commander-in-chief for
the first time e-pruduces evidence in
the shape OF documents captured
from the. .HHmans giving testimony
as 10 the high price the Germans are
paying in casualties.
The British have improved their 20
sition along almost the whole Of their
line Of, the battle front, capturing by
assatit 1900 yards OF German second
line positions north of the Bazentin.
Le-Petit wood. a strong German posi-
tion at the Waterloo farm between
Longueyale and Guilleront.
They also have completed the cap.
ture Of the whole OF the village OF
Ovillers.L a. Boiselies. These gains
bring the British almost to the crest
! of the7Albert plateau, where stretches
the German third line.
., News from the eastern front was
equally important. The Russian com.
mander, Gen. Kuropatkin. has
launched an offensive against Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg on the
Dvino river, and Gen. yor Linsingens
troops southwest. ol, Eatsk have been
compelled TO retire, behind the Lipa
river, while in the course OF Sun
days fighting in Nolhynia the Rus
