You also have noted. no doubt,
the almost total absence of the

l though Tom Hyer was the acknowledged king at that time. Hyer challenged Morrissey. but as stated in my review of Hyers career, Morrissey backed out of the first match-forfeiting $1O0 The men were matched a second time but that contest was not staged And as result one of the bitterest gang battles in pugilistic history ensued
 Hyer refused to fight Morrissey under the London prize ring rules after the men = had reached the battle-ground. Hyer's reason for this was that the Morrissey gang outnumbered his own, which meant that Hyer would not get a fair deal. Hyer. however offered to fight Morrissey a pistol duel but Nor rissey declined.
 Some months later--about December, lS54-several members of the Hyer gang clashed with an equal number of Nor rissey thugs. which followed arguments over the nonstaging of the fight in Oc- tober. That started the feud. All through the winter of 1S54-1S55 there were outbreaks wherever the two factions met In one of the clashes Lew Baker, a Morrissey man, killed Bill Poole, Hyer supporter. and when Hyer went to the assistance of his own men, Baker and a pal named Turner, attempted to assassinate Hyer, the bullet just graz ing his temple
 The sensational incidents leading up to the killing of Poole and what followed the effort to kill Hyer forms another chapter in early ring history which will recount at a later date.
 After flyer announced that he had re- tired from the ring, Morrissey's claim to the title was quite generally recognized, But he did not rank as the undisputed leader very long. John c. Heenan. The RapaCia Rnvp a In m nown as a fighter and disputed Morris seys claim. As a result the men were matched for s50oo side bet, the battle taking place October 20, 1858, in Long Point Canada.
 Aaron Jones and Johnny Mackay were second for Heenan with Francis Mo Cabe serving as his umpire Jem ("Australian'D Kelly and William Hast ings were Morrissey's seconds and Will liam Mulligan officiated as the Morris sey umpire. The rivals wrangled for some time over the selection of referee, finally deciding upon the appointment of two men--the first time in American

 John Morrissey. who is listed as the third heavyweight champion of America, got his first battling experience around in the barrooms of New York.
 Morrissey was born in Ireland Febru. ary 5, 1881, and came to America when q youngster. His earliest job was in a saloon and even before he had grown to ing ability earned him a job as "bouncer." Soon he became champion among the ''bouncers'' and that prowess caused his friends to urge that he go into the ring. Morrissey, who was 6 feet tall and weighed 173 pounds, finally needed their advice and embarked on a pugilistic career that was spectacular to an extreme.
 Morrissey's first battle was with George Thompson, who fought under the name of Bot McLaren, and who had acted as Tom Hyers trainer. It took place Au- gust 31, 1852, on Mare Island, California. Thompson had all the best of the fight when he struck Morrissey a foul blow in the 11th round, terminating the con- test in Morrissey's favor.
 Explaining the foul later, Thompson said:
 Morrissey's friends at the ringside be- came so menacing because I was beat ing their man that they threatened me with death. Rather than go on, decided to end the fight by fouling Morrissey."
 Morrissey's next clash was with Yam kee Sullivan in Boston, in 1853 Sullivan had Morrissey whipped at the end of the 10th round but Sullivan became in- in, a I'll fr1t after that session of fighting ended. So engre@ed was he in battling some of the Morrissey gangmen that he forgot all about the fight with Morrissey and when he failed to answer the call for time the referee awarded the fight to Morrissey.
 Victory in the Thompson and Sullivan fights caused Morrissey to set up an im- mediate claim to the championship, al-

SENE T92 BORAH IS
 ON jvO 4ND SAYS
 PENROSE MUST GO
LaFollette Has Served No tice That He Wants to Be Finance Committee
 Chairman
By HUGH ". RonERTs

Washington November 26.-(Special) Senator Borah returned to town today and turned over the we'll laid harmony plans of the republican party. He de- clares firmly. unequivocally and publicly that ''Penrose must go.'
 Under the priority scheme of organiza- tion Senator Penrose. after March 3, will be entitled to the chairmanship of the finance committee. He is one of the few remaining types of the "old-Iine, 3 s'standpat,' ''reactionary'' politician. He is the typical republican boss If the republicans place him at the head of the finance committee, Senator Borah and other "progressiyes'' figure that the country will not only be given an err roneous impression as to how the gov srnment will be operated, but will ac- tually be distressed as a result of Ire actionary'' financial legislation.
 He declares Penrose must go. Pen rose declares he will not go-that he is entitled to the chairmanship of the finance committee and will have it. Thus the party, in fighting over the pie, is divided sharply and bitterly. And thus the plan of strategists to pacify pro gressives" clamoring for an abandon ment of the priority rule in organiza- tion by giving the 'sprogressives" certain important chairna nships, is smashed for the time being, beyond recognition
 There is another element which is dis tressing those about to come into power Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, who was always regarded as opposed to the war and the war policies of the govern ment, noting the intention of Borah to deprive Penrose of the chairmanship of the finance committee, has served mo- tice that he must be given that chair manship. The Wisconsin senator is not even member of the committee. Never

 But Morrissey's victory did not prove that he was the better man. In the very first round of the contest Heenan frac- tured bone in his right hand and from then on that memeber fas practically useless. Despite that handicap he gave Morrissey Q terrible beating before he was whipped in the 1tth.

bESSEMER ID MEET CENTRAL THURSDAY Local High School Football Teams Clash Here
 Tomorrow

Coaches Thomas and Red" Harris, who are guiding the destinies of the football crafts of Central and Bessemer High schools respectively, are putting their doughty warriors through the most gruelling of scrimmages in preparation for the Turkey Day battle at Redwood gridiron tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O O clock.
 Since CentraPs defeat at the hands of Ensley about 10 days ago the dope has favored Bessemer decidedly when ap- piled to the game tomorrow. Coach Har ris team has returned seven or eight veterans from last years outfit while the Central bunch, with one exception is composed of green men.
 However, Coach Thomas expects his machine to work a great deal mora smoothly tomorrow than it did against Ensley and he even hopes that they will be victorious. although admitting that the odds are all against him. Red Harris is making predictions, but since the ex-Auburn star has taken hold of the reins out at Bessemer High his team has always given good account of itself.

Yanderbilt's comparatively easy victory over Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky States naturally entities them to be fa- vorites in the betting, but the MouA- taineers from Sewanee generally spring few surprises before the final whistls blows and Coach Best may have enough up his sleeve to offset the effective over head attack for which the 1918 Commo- dores made themselves famous in the recent engagement with the Plainsmen.
 Little or nothing is known of Sewanee's 8 team, or even of what nucleous they retained from the 1917 aggregation upon which to build their present machine, but whenever the Purple and White floats over a football field, there is go- ing to be some real scrapping, and you may lay to that.

As for the Auburn-Tech game many are inclined to view Auburn's chances as negligible, when as matter of fact the Plainsmen have the best opportunity to down Heisman's Golden Tornado that they have had in several years. Tech demonstrated beyond all doubt in the Pittsburg game that her old driving pow CT was lacking and her inexperienced eleven, containing but two veterans from last year, was not even in the same class with the 1917 crew.
 But Tech supporters will have to give at least 14 points to entice the most op- timistic Auburn alumnus who, remembers ing the success of Vanderbilt Saturday before last. are not disposed to squander a large bale of lettuce on their favorites again.

theless, he declares he must be given the chairmanship or the republicans won't organize the Senate By this threat, he means that unless he is sat isfied, he will support the democrats during the process of organization, and thus give them as many votes as the republicans will be able to poll. With the situation deadlocked, the democrats, through the vote of Vice President Mar shall would win the day.
 Republican pacifieators are working strenuously to restore state of peace to the troubled waters. In all proba- bility, they will succeed At any rate, democrats do not hope to profit direct ly as result of their disaffection. They do hope, however, that men like Sena- tor Norris. ultra progressive, will tear the republican party, at any fortunate moment, ito pieces, and that feuds over spells, like that between Borah and Pen rose, will so disgust the nation, or so perfectly ahenate factions, that the dem ocrats, in 1920, will regain control through the election of q President and two houses of Congress.
