had resolved itself into rough-and-
tumble affair Time after time the
referee warned Morris, but the warnings
were not, needed. In every round Matt was
forced to make speech to the big Okla
homan, begging and pleading with him to
put up a scrap that was on the level. 1t
was a hard thing for Hinkel to stop the
fight. lie promoted the atair, signed the
men up and promised the public that they
would put up clean battle. He had spent
thousands OF dollars and had the interest
of the public at heart. When he disqualified
Morris he rsked his reputation and got
away with il. The decision was greeted
with cheers and Matt was called back to
the ring for a further ovation. He is
stronger than ever with the boxing fans,
for he proved yesterday that he not only is
q capable, but fearless referee. He is the
kind of a man we need in Philadelphia
Winner to Meet Jcss-in Year or So
The heavyweight class surely Is. In a
sad and morose condition with Fulton and
Morris standing in the spotlight as the logt-
cal Contenders for the title. Morris has
rs much science as a runaway moving van,
and Fulton has every appearance of a pen
stoned truck horse Still they compare
favorably with Mr.. Willard, the well-known
circus proprietor and holder Of the heavy
weight championship 1t was said before
the battle that big Jess would meet the
winner, and he probably will--in couple
of years or so. a match between Willard
end Fulton would be a great thing to stage
some place Oh the Sahara desert. That
would keep away the spectators and give
the boxers a chance to settle. II between
themselves 1t is an ideal private fight.
Morris started in the first round to maui
Fulton and he succeeded. He hung all over
him like an ovcrCOat, hitting with his
elbows. head. W. Tts and occasionally with
his fists, His most effective blow was de-
livered from the neck up, using the head
to batter Frcd's chin. The boxers were in
clinch most of the time, with Fulton ap'
pealing to the referee and Norris doggedly
working away with every blow in his
repertoire, and he has a choice assortment.
In the first two rounds II looked as IL
Fulton was ready to hunt soft spot ana
take long sleep He offered no defense,
his much touted left jab was absent. and
his right cross couldn't be seen with
telescope. Morris had him on the run ana
almost made good his boast to make Fulton
jump out Of the ring before the fight was
over

some courage and raped Morris with a

Loser in Argument With Fan

As he walked through the crowd to his
dressing room, spectators hurled programs
at him and one person tried to slug him.
Morris squared off and was about to hit
the brave person when the police interviewed
in time to prevent the calling of an ambu-
lance.
1t was a slow, uninterestng battle and
the fans who came here from all parts Of
the country were disguised If the pair
were matched again they wouldn't draw
flies. The bout wasn't good enough for the
first preliminary at Muggsy Taylor's Broad
way a. &.
Morris was resurreCted by Jack Curley
and was supposed to be in line for the cham
pionship. He m ght win the title in a rough =
and-tumble affair, but his science is equal
to that of a COW. Still Morris is not a
total loss to Curley Jack manages a
troupe of trained wresters and all he has
TO with Carl is to take off his gloves.

was adopted by congress weeks ago,
that body does not appear to have

Nor is Mr. Roosevelt entirely free
from blame In this matter. Although
he now says that he does not want
the enactment OF the army bill unduly

to permit him to take a command to

different attitude. His speech last
