ON JESS'S TRAIL!
Fight Critics Say Morris Has
Done a Real Comeback"
He Crossed Whole World in
Fight With Fulton.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 1.-THE hefty
shadow of big Carl Morris is frisk-
ing about on the trail of Jess Will
lard.
The original white hope" from
Oklahoma has pulled a comeback"
and he is a bit different from any of
the come-backs we have lamped for
several moons.
whether or not Morris will prove
more than a shadow on the Willard
trail remains to be seen, but at any
rate he is entitled to some considera-
ton.
Remember when Morris tried
white hoping as an occupation the
first time? Well, he found it was reg
ular labor He discovered that he
didn't belong, but he had ambitions in
his system that would not be quoted
Carlos Worked Hard.
SO back to the prairies of good old
Oklahoma went Carlos, and there he
settled down to get the hooks and
crooks of the game thru his knob.
He was too cumbersome then to move
about in the ring without getting in
his own way. He didn't know any
thing about the fistic art. He had to
live and learn.
But before he went back to the
land of oil wells Carlos had num-
bered one Fred Fulton among his
victims. And when this same Fulton
person climbed from the plastering
scaffold and butted into high heavy
weight society Carlos was peeved.
IF that bean pole can get by, I
ought to be a world beaten" said
Morris to himself.
He kept brooding over the question
and working like a Turk while he
brooded. He got faster on his pedals.
developed better punch and reduced
the circumference of his commissary.
When he landed in New York to chal-
lenge Fulton he was a different man.
He Crossed the World.
But still the fistic wise guys couldn't
see him. What could umbering Carl
do against that wonderful left pile
driver? The fstic experts had seen
Fulton punch holes in Reich, Cowler
and handsome Charley Weinert. Nor
ris would be a mark for that wallop.
But there's where Carlos crossed
the world. He put one over and he
fight him in his own way. He
wouldn't box at long range with the
plasterer, and anyway, he had a
sneaking suspicion that Fulton's
kitchen was his weak spot. So he
hammered that spot until Fulton was
wobbly and desperate. He also shot
bombs out of the clinches that sent
Fulton's chin sky high. And then
Fulton fouled him in the fifth round
to save himself from a knockout.
So Morris is a regular comeback,
as comebacks go, and he has right
to ask for recognition.
That he can defeat Willard is
doubtful. His chances depend on
Wizards ability to get into the grand
condition he was in when he beat
Jack Johnson. Willard, in shape, has
little to fear from the present crop
of heavies
But Morris looks the best of the
bunch. Give i'm a chance.

JOE JACKSON is OUT FOR
BATTING HONORS THIS YR.

Joe Jackson-sockless, perhaps,
in the first few years of his base
ball life, but member of the ex-
elusive nobility of baseball bat
tiers, no matter what his early
history-announces that he is out
after the American league batting
honors for the 1917 season. He
has already served notice on Iris
Speaker and Ty Cobb that they
may include him among the bel
ligerents in the Ban johnson cir
cult this summer.

Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

Married men will not have to. fight for
their country, it has been decided. A great
many of them have neither the time nor
the spirit to do so.
However, it is a sad disappointment to
scores who have been dreaming of nice
long, lazy vacations in the trenches with
nothing more annoying to worry about
than being shot full of holes. Il
The American league season has been on
for three days and so far no one has pre-
dicted a pennant for Connie Mack and
one has announced to the world that Ty
Cobb is thru. Strange times these?
Baseball appears to be due for very
successful season under the circumstances.
As many people are as interested in the
game as ever, but great many of them
are finding it difficult to show their in
terest.
Their is no doubt but that the wrestling
game is under a Jew curse. Joe Stecher,
one of the men who has been doing great
everything he had done this week when he
refused to finish his match with Caddock
at Omaha
stecher may have been injured to such
an extent that he could not finish, but the
chances are he was not Any way, the
public doesn't enjoy an unfinished match
and it usually shows its teeth when no salts
factory explanation is given by the gutter.

on the gridiron, both at X. Z. and at

father Peter He'll. a Civil war veteran,
know that he comes from fighting family.
Many Topeka -ouths are getting them
selves into condition to join the army in
various ways. Some are taking hikes, some
playing tennis and some bowling. A few
are said to be devoting their spare time to
gardening.
1t seems strange that many prominent
athletes have offered to fight for their
country and so few have actually enlisted.
As soon as Jess Wizards offer was accept

Welsh seems to have dropped off the earth
since offering to raise pugilistic battalion.

WHEN YOUR COLOR FADES

When girls color fades, when her

short of breath easily and her heart
palpitates after slight eNertion or I'M
der the least excitement it means that
she is suffering from thin blood.
Headache and backache often ac-
company this condition and nervous
ness is frequently present.
The remedy, of course, is to build
up the blood and for this purpose Dr.
Williams Pink Pills are recommended.
They are the remedy best suited to re-
store the blood, bring brightness TO
the eyes and put color in the cheeks
and lips.
The only other treatment needed
costs nothing. 1t is this. Give the
patient plenty of sunlight, moderate
exercise every day, not enough to
cause fatigue, and use care in the diet
because the food crayed is often not
the best for the condition.
