Oklahoma Heavyweight Rules as
10-to-8 Favorite Over Jess in
Ten-Round Gotham Fight.
N EW YORK. Dec 3 Nearly 500
pounds of bone and brawn wl
clash in Hm Madison .Square
Garden ring to-night when Carl Mor
ris and Jess Willard put up their'
gloved hands for a ten-round bout. I
Willard said to-day that hr would
weigh about 230 pounds, while Morris
admitted that hr might tip the beam
af 235 These men are ihe blggesi
while heavyweights in the world and
also the tallest Willard stands hi
feel H inches in his slock lugs and j
Morris Is only two inches shorter.
Each was horn in 1886 and their ring
experience Is limited Willard began
fighting two years ago. while Morris'
first scrap for money occurred In
1910.
In spite of 4he fart that Willard has
accomplished more in ring contests.
Morris is a 10 to 8 favorite, probably
because he put up such a hard fight
with Gunboat Smith in the Garden
early in October. Morris is wonder
fully strong and game. Me was a
greenhorn when Jim Flynn hammer
ed him for ton rounds here two years
ago. hut he has kept on improving
until h© begin# to look Ilk# ;■ real
heavyweight. Me has changed his
style completely. Mis blows are de
livered straight from the shoulder
with tremendous power, and he re
lies upon hooks and uppercuts instead
of the ineffective overhand swings
which he employed when he tackled
Fly nn.
Willard probably knows more about
boxing than the Oklahoma giant and
can hit. too. But lust what he can
accomplish when Morris puts him
under a heavx fire remains to be seen.
Willard is so tall that few of his
opponents haVe been able to reach
his jaw. Me moves about with sur
prising agility and has a good left
ha nd.
The State Athletic Commission hi
yesterday's meeting raised Willards
suspension, while William Joh was
agreed upon as the referee.
Otis Crandall Will
Quit Game for Good
NHTW YORK Dec. 3 On the best
of authority It is learned that Otis
Crandall the noted emergency crew,
will not he a member of the Giants
oi anx other baseball aggregation
next season. The authority is none
other than "Old Doc" himself. Me
can afford to quit, and he intends to
quietly efface himself from the big
show He does not relish the idea
of being shipped to the St. Louis Car
dinals or anx minor leagifw team
Crandall left New York with his
wife and baby immediately after r»*
coiving his world's series check and
iH now at home for the winter on his
broad Indiana acres, lie may never
return to New .York as an active ex
ponent of the national pastime. When
he departed he honest 1> believed he
was saying a long farewell to the
other players Rut h*» max change
his mind.
Crandall's sudden release io the B:
Louis club Inst season renewed his
determination to quit. Onlx those
\\ hose whole major league experience
has been with a winning team real
ize the sinking sensation that ac
companies a transfer to a tail-endrr.
McGraw recalled Crandall two
xx eeks after this ileal xva* made. a,s
the Cardinals did not particularly
need him md the GH#nt# felt that he
xx as entitled to another slash at a
world's series melon
But even if he is not traded it is
doubtful whether he will rejoin the
Giants. If he feels that he can not
be of much help to them he will stay

Robinson Wants Claude Derrick
Third Chance for Georgia Boy
By O. B. Keeler.
A ND now It is beginning to
look as if 'Red” Smith, the
Atlanta youth who play®
third base for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
will have another Georgia boy for a
side-kick—the same being Claude
Derrick, quite a shortstopper, though
remembered as a second baseman at
the University of Georgia some sea
sons ago.
There is quite a little story that
may be told of the wanderings of
Claude, and we are now goin^ to
tell it.
• * *
C 'LAUDE played football as well as
" baseball at the State University.
Some people fancied he played it hot
ter. but that is problematical. Any
way, he was a/very good guard ami
one of the best punters Georgia ever
had.
But football, in America at least,
comes to its normal finish when a
man leaves college, and if Claude
hadn't also been a corking inflelder
ho would in all probability be teach
ing school down about Clayton, Ga..
xvhere he was engaged in that pas
time when Tommy Stouch rescued
him and took him to play ball in the
South Carolina League.
Claude played ball with Tommy's
team. which was the Greenville
bunch, and Claude played ball well
enough to attract the attention, by
proxy, of Mr. Cornelius .Mack, gover
nor general of the Athletics.
f^ONNlH MACK drafted Derrick and
v -" played him at *hort#to;
while Barry was out of the game. L
fart, Connie carried him along for
the best part of two years, and ibe’-
with the brilliant Barry in good or’
der again Claude was dealt out to Bal
timore.

Iron-dad rule to give his excuses
in an article in The Saturday
Kvening Poet
Claiming that "Big Six" has an
advantage over a batter on his
first trip to the plate, but that
the charm wears off in subse
quent visits. Mack found that
Lapp struck out the first time
he faced Matty, hit sharply to
Doyle the second time, and hit
safely the third. Therefore he
counted on him for further Im
provement on tlie fourth trip.
As for Plank. Connie declared
that Eddie hit the ball harder
than any other player on the team
during the game, having made one
safety nnd being robbed of a hit
by Fletcher on another try.
Therefore he decided to let Plank
linger 1n the contest. Rut ihe

THK above Is meant to be bit-

be president of the National
League is to hold an important
office that no man aearl be
ashamed of; that more people are
interested In baseball than in
