Moran Will Fight
Carl Morris at
The Harlem Club

The ring at the Harlem Sporting
Club was reinforced yesterday to
withstand the quarterton strain which
will be placed on it tonight. when
Frank Moran and Carl Morris begin
90 throw wallops at each other.
The polite fiction in connection with
the event is that the winner is TO be
matched with Jess Willard for the
heavyweight championship. Colonel
John J. Reisler. otherwise known as
John the Barber, has the papers direct
from Tom Jones, one of Willard's
managers, to prove it. John has bid a
mere $4,000, or some |lch sum, for
a bout between the winner Of to-
nights 90 and Jess Willard.
Moran had one crack at Willard
and did not disturb the champion to
any great extent. Morris is regarded
by the champion as a messy sort of
fighter and Jess has privately decided
that he does not care to meet him
again.
Moran will give away considerable
poundage this evening, but he is CON
fident that he will be able 70 annoy
Morris, and even is fairly confident
of knocking him out. Morris has
views on the same subject which are
directly contrary 10 those OF Moran.

Both Fighting Hard
The second set found the players
fighting hard, with Miss Wagner plac-
ing beautifully and keeping her oppo-

ninth game at love. on three errors by
Miss Bjurstedt, and crafty place
glent shot of her own into the fore
court corner.
The national champion could not hide
her uneasiness, and remarked: 81 am

because of her excessive number OF
nets as she tried 10 lift up the low
Founders But then was the time to
show her worth if ever. and she arose
TO the occasion. as said before, rip
ping through placement shots for the
winning points.
All even once more, the champions
confidence came back. and she danced
around delghtedly as she ran to re-
ceive Miss Wagner's service at the
game at love. and the next went 10 her
also.
She was beginning 70 "strokc' the
bail again and picking out her open
ings with the old certainty. Miss Wsg-
ner won the third, fifth and eighth
games. and those were all. for Miss
Bjurstedt was travelling az top speed
and would not be denied
Team work aided largely in the VIC
tory Of Mrs. Wood and Miss Bjurstedt
in the doubles match. Mrs. Wood
smothered many a shot by close volloy-

forehand drive was working beauti-
fully. These factors were sufficient to
win.

Miss Wagner Forces Miss
Bjurstedt to Use All
Her Skill
Bv FRED HAWTHORNE

Miss Marie Wagner, national indoor
champion. came dangerously close 10
defeating Miss Molla Bjurstedt, ma
tional title holder. in the final round Of
the Ards.ey Clubs invitation lawn
tennis tournament yesterday, the Nor
weeian girl only winning after ter
rife struggle by score OF 90 -
6-9.
Leading in the second set at 81 on
games, and playing with a confidence
and perfection of stroke that II
seemed nothing could withstand, MISS
Wagner needed only one more game 70
vanGuish the wonderful foreigner ana
at the same time achieve one Of the
great ambitions of her life.
Rallies in Time
But when she was in greatest danger
Miss Biurstedt rose 70 the OCCASION
slowly vet unGeniably, and drew level
on games, won the eleventh with four
dazzling placement aces, and then took
the twelfth and the set ~ ., BRING
ing the match all square again. Having
done this, the champion seemed 10 re.
gain her badly shaken confidence ana
played with her customary speed ana
severity in the last set, which she won
at 6-3.
In the final round of the doubles
Miss Bjurstedt was again triumphant,
when, paired with Mrs. RawsOn l..
/ Wood. She defeated Miss Wagner and
Miss Nathalie Browning BY a score OF
10, 6-3.
The championship turf court was still
soft from the excess of rains and the
playing surface was uneven, causing
many erratic bounds at critical stages
of the singles match. This seemed TO
affect Miss Bjurstedt far more than her
opponent. particularly as Miss Wagner's
ground strokes had wicked little cut
to them that sent the ball scooting low
to the ground. The girl from Norway
was having trouble all throU5h the first
two sets on this account. and literally
had to dig the ball up.
Fine Court Generalship
Never before in her almost unbroker
string of victories in the East has Mis-,
Rjurstedt been compelled to do the
amount Of footing she did yesterday
Miss Wagner court generalship was
of the finest, and she placed her fore
and back hand drives very deep into
her opponents court, and within inches
Of the side lines. This kept the Nor
wegian running from one side Of the
court TO the other. and upset her 10
such an extent that she lost command
of her own shots and fell into the
error of hitting every shot softly
Robbed Of her speed and severity OF
stroke. Miss Bjurstedt'a same lose.

Unless our memory is at fault. Mrs

sweep.

Eddie Hosner, a sixteen ear-old stu
dent Of S:uyvesant High School, de-
feated several champions in scoring a
pair Of victories at the annual games

Elizabethport, Y. j., yesterday.
The mite Of a youth. who stands only
four feet eight inches in height, per-
formed in such impressive fashion that
the sharps predicted a bright future FOR
him. Five thousand spectators sur
rounded the field and loudly applauded
the victories Of the schoolboy.
Hosner captured both the 100 and
22O ward dashes. and although allotted
the limit allowance in each instance

champion, met a similar fate as Morse,

Another outstanding performance
was that o. Joe Higgins, the Irish
American runner. who ran brilliantly
in winning the l.000-yard. Higgins was

bucking q strong wind broke the wor-
sted in 2:2fl-5. His actual time for the
1000-yard route was estimated 70 be
2:l7 5 seconds, a noteworthy feat.
Higgins displayed his true speed on
the final lap of $40 yards. when he
virtually burned up the track. He was
in last place, some fifty yards behind
the leader, but the aspect Of the race
changed suddenly when Joe hit the
bnckstretch.
He passed his twelve rivals "a II they
