WINS ANOTHER
Carl Morris Registers One
Round Knockout at Coal

Carteret's fast travelling boxing
sensation, Carl Morris, a lightweight,
added another feather to his cap on
] iday night at the Nesbit A. G. in

rounds. He received the surprise of
his life when Morris started a SEN
satlonal offensive, similar to those
responsible for other victories In the
coal region and the referee complet-
ed his count of ten over Bocley
about twelve seconds before the bell

a big victory ove frankie Farmar,

lore the fans of Philadelphia in the
