SAILOR DEALS JOHN
 MoRRiSEY KNOCKOUT BLOW
Big Six Footer Takes Count When Lad From Submarine Base Lands on His Nose.


 A sharp engagement between one of Uncle Sam's fighting men from the submarine base and a (supposed) ene- my at the Carboni boarding and room- ing house on Franklin square early on Monday evening resulted in cont plete repulse of the "enerny" and the arrest of both participants. The sailor from the submarine base was Ralph C. Mills, of Fl Paso, Texas, and his op- ponent was John Morrisey. Morrisey stands feet 2 inches while Ralph is about feet inches in height.

Whatever the cause, the rooms all looked alike to Morrisey, and taking chance, he pickesl one at random. Unfortunately his selection was as poor as his eye sight and he Immediately got into trouble with the landlady who sud denly loomed through the doorway and ordered him to his own room.
 | Morrisey didn't take kindly to the !1andlady's intrusion and proceeded te call her names and to create a genera disturbance The result was that Morrisey was ordered out of the house
 The Texas sailor boy proceeded tt take the landlady's part and Morrise! immediately transferred his attention to the lad from the submarine base.
