CARL MORRIS TO QUIT
RING GAME FOR FARM
Sapulpa Boxer Receivers From
Fever and Will Raise Or
anges in California.
World Creek County Bureau.
llqi6 East Hobson.


SAPULPA. Okla. Dec. Carl
Morris has won fight and will re-
tire from the ring for all time to de-
vote the balance OF his years to raising
oranges on his California holdings
not far from the place of abode of
James j. Jeffries.
The latest victory won by the giant
engineer was to shake off threat
ened attack of typhoid fever. He has
been confined to his bed here for the
past week from the coast where he
lost a bout.
Just before leaving for New York
last night to join his wife Morris de-
elared he was sick and tired of the
ring game and that he was ready to
quit. I'm thoroly discouraged with
boxing" he said, "and l guess I'll get
out of the game and go back home
where I've got nice orange grove"
Asked if he was slipping. or whether
the boys he has been meeting with
such poor success recently are getting
so much better, the engineer placed
the blame on the shoulders of Matt
Hinkle, who was the third man in the
ring in his Columbus battle with the
Minnesota plasterer.
"Hinkle is promoter and not a
referee" the engineer said. Another
thing, Hinkle is pulling and has been
for Jess Willard. The whole thing
was Just a frameup to beat men and
throw away my one chance to go to
bat with the champion. He fought
me more in the fight than Fulton did
by a long way.
II have no fights scheduled and l
think I'll run out to New York and
get Mrs. Morris and then it's back to
the farm."

You cannot indict all the individual
