Moran Believes
Morris a Stepping
Stone for Willard
Leonard and Welsh Training
Hard for Title Tilt at
Manhattan

A breathless world awaits the result
of the ten-round bout between Carl
Morris and Frank Moran at the Harlem
Sporting Club next Friday night. or
course, there's question as to just
why the world is holding its breath, but
we have the word Of the press agent
that such is the case, and it's not for
the likes Of US to dispute.
Morris, who might delicately be COM
pared to one of the huge British
tanks" in France chen in action, has
been training for almost two weeks and
declares he will enter the ring weigh
ing 223 pounds. This is proof suffi-
cient that Carl has been "banting,' or
something equally desperate.
A word from little Francis Charles:
81 feel that | can beat any heavy
weight in the world in twenty-five
round bout. and after | slip over my
Mary Ann on Carl Morris on Friday
night and am matched with Jess Will
lard, will prove this contention"
There is this much % be said for
the Morris-Moran soiree after 1t Is
over we will be able TO turn our atten-
ton again 70 the finish fight in Europe.
Benny Leonard. who is matched 10
box ten rounds with Freddie Welsh at
the Manhattan A. c. on May %, will do
most of his training in the open air at
Mount Kisco. taking a staff OF trainers
with him. Welsh. who will be risking
his lightweight title again, will work
out at his new health farm at Sum-
nit. y. J.
The champions arm. which was sore
from blood poisoning in his tight with
Kilbane, has now healed, and Freddie
declares he will be o. X. when he
faces Leonard. Bonnie was to have
fought Welsh at the Manhattan sew
eral months ago. but was laid low by
an attack of grip and the bout was
cancelled. The champion is now max
ing good on his promise to give Leon
ard another chance.
Joe Lynch, the West Side bantam,
will fight his most important ring bat
tie at the Pioneer Sporting Club to-
night when he faces frankie Burns,
veteran Of hundred bouts. This looks
like one OF the best fights between the
little fellows arranged in this city for
many months. and the winner will come
pretty nearly being accepted as the best
in his class.
Mike O'Dowd and Italian Joe Cans
will figure in the main bout at the Fair
mont Sporting Club on Thursday night.
Young Brown and Wee Wee Barton
will perform in the other ten. ODowd
has been coming along fast of late,
Soldier Barttield. Silent Martin and
Jack Britton being among those he has
met.

 Body to the United States.

Tokio, Monday, March 12.-As a special mark of honor to the late George w Guthrie, American ambas- sador to Japan, the emperor is ex- pected to detail a Japanese warship to transport the body to the United States.

 Great numbers of persons have vfs- fted the American naval hospital where the body lies in state. the closed coffin surrounded with a beautiful wreath from the emperor. Japanese officers and American military and rfa- val attaches constitute the guard of honor.
