recovery.

Deering Favorite to
allOp Morse High
Especial to Kennebec JournaN


Bath, Nov. 1.-THE Morse High
school football team closes the
hardest year of its history Satur-
day afternoon when they take on the
Deering High eleven from Portland.
Morse has failed to make even the
customary showing, although at the
beginning of the season, the pros
poets seemed exceedingly good.
With the exceptions of a good kicker
and fair overhead game, the Bath
High school team is outclassed by
practically every team in Central
and Western Maine. Cony, Edward
Little, South Portland and Gardiner
all defeated Morse by wide margins,
before the locals won a game. Hal
lowell being the victim. Catholic
then won its first game In three
years at Morse Highs expense, and
after beating Rockland, Biddeford
annexed one. Thus Hallowell and
Rocl1land were the only two teams
to fall before the Blue and White
cluster. and Deering is a strong fa-
vorite to win easily. However the
men are working out daily in hopes
of making it three wins for the sea-
son.

Says Kaplan and
Herman Must Keep
Contract with Richard

New York, Nov. 17-(AP)-Louis
(Kid) Kaplan of Meriden, Conn, and
Babe Herman of California, princi-
pals in the featherweight title clash
at Madison Square Garden, Deem
Der Is, cannot fight elsewhere until
after the fulfilment of their con-
tract with Richard, the state athletic
commission ruled today.
This action was taken to protect
Richard and to insure the Garden
promoter that neither will be injured
and thereby cause a postponement of
the fight. Kaplan injured his hands
in his last fight with Herman at Wat
erbury, Conn, August 81, and the
commission wants to prevent a re-
currence of this trouble.

through his manager, offered to meet
Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo, n. Y,
worlds lightweight champion, at the
Christmast Fund matches, Deem
Der 23, for a guarantee of $1,000.
Promoters of the fund reported trou-
BILE arranging card owing to high
prices demanded by the fighters.
This prompted Vicentini to offer his
services for the moderate sum.

JACK WILLIS TOO
FAST FOR GOTHAM
BOXER AT ARENA
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Portland, Nov. Hills right arm
bandaged from shoulder to elbow,
and almost useless because of burn
Jack Willis of Portland left handed
Jack Mcfarland of New York into
dreamland in the second round of
their scheduled twin six battle at
the Arena here tonight.
Mcfarland, billed as the toughest
opponent of Willis career and a
battler who in bouts with Jock Ma
lone, Panama Joe Cans and other
fistic stars had never been knocked
off his feet was literally cut to rib
bons by the left hand of the boy
from Texas.
Willis jabbed and slashed with his
southpaw about Netherlands face to
draw blood before the first round
was over and in the second he drove
Mcfarland to the canvas with ter
rifle straight arm.
Mcfarland was up at 10 only by
instinct and as Willis once again rib
boned his face with punches, Referee
Walker stepped in and stopped the
fight. Mcfarland staggered around
the ring and was crossing a head
lock to the back as Willis suddenly
caught him. The main bout was
preceded by one of the best semi
finals of the season when Joe Gar
vey of Clinton, Mass, beaten by to-
nights opponent in their previous
meeting ended the string Of fifteen
victories chalked up by Bobby
Brown of Lowell, outpointing Brown
after he had been outslugged in the
opening rounds.
Bobby Jones of Portland out
pointed Paul Demarais of Sanford
in four rounds. Pom King of Bidde-
ford ko'ed Young Gregory of Wa
terville in the second chapter and
Young Brown of Limerick ko'ed
Young Butler of Springvale in the
second.
