 Mrs. Morse also had interviews and correspondence with one Garland of Philadelphia, who was to procure defendants pardon fin consideration of s50,000. of which sum the said Gar land was to retain $10,000 for himself. The method by which the pardon was to be obtained was undisclosed. The plaintiff prevented -ais arrangement from being carried out"

FULTON WINS
OVER MORRIS
Referee Stops Fight When
Oklahoma Fighter Uses
Foul Tactics

Canton. O., Sept 4.-What was
to have been a 15-round boxing
bout between Carl Morris, of Okla
homa, and Fred Fulton, of Mime
sofa, was terminated by the referee
in the sixth round after Morris had
deliberately fouled Fulton so often
that Referee Matt Hinkel was
forced to disqualify the Oklahoman.
The contest was to have decided
which of the two was the better
qualified to meet Jess Willard in a
heavyweight championship contest.
Outclassed and apparently destined
to become the recipient of q terrific
mauling, Morris violated every rule
of the boxing game and of good
sportsmanship.
Morris started to prepare his own
finish. In the second round he for
sook the legal methods of boxing
and resorted to the foul. With the
passing of the minutes his disre-
gard for accepted practices grew. He
butted, hit low and hit in the
breaks. and consistently refused TO
heed the warning of the referee.
Morris Starts We'll
Norris started like a game fighter,
and during the first round plowed
into Fulton with reckless abandon.
Fulton proved a willing party in the
gruelling mixing in the second
round, and evidently convinced Nor
Eis his energies were wasted, for
from that time on Norris began to
tax the patience of the referee.
In the fifth and sixth rounds Nor
ris made no effort to conceal his in
tentions. The crowd hooted and
jeered, but reserved a cheer for
Referee Minkley, when the latter as
serted his authority.
Hinkel did everything in his power
to force Morris to live up to the
rules, even stopping a few blows
himself in an effort to give the
crowd what it expected.
As he left the ring Morris swung
at jeering spectator. Quick inter
vention of police and soldiers pre-
vented a riot.
VIII Devore, of Akron, and Kid
Wolfe, of Cleveland, weights,
boxed 10 rounds to a draw as the
curtain raised. On account of the
threatening weather the Fulton
Norris bout followed the curtain
raiser.
