If Carl Morris should whip Fred

Oklahoma engineer, something he said
he would never do. for Jess Willard
despises Carr Morris from the soles of
his broad feet. Morris hurt Wizards
pride once by telling the then ham
an-egg' fighter to go and get repu-
tation. That was before Willard got
a good one by beating Jack Johnson
down in dear Havana. Then and
there the new champion registered a
vow that Carl Morris should never
make nickel off him.
But if Norris knocks out Fulton or
defeats him decisively he will have
claim to a match with Willard that
the public will back up. So Willard
fight fans would relish a battle be-
tween Morris and Willard 1t ought
to mean an air full of fists if the two
enemies meet, as Willard has never

be a real battle, while it lasted. in
