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.

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. • * • (~'LAt!DE put up a wonderful game ^ with the Oriolee last year. an.

Sidelights on Sports By A. H. C. MITCHELL |“ o.NNI E M ACK ia out with the alibi for not putting pinch hitters in place of Lapp and Plank in the second game of the World’s Series, which .Matty xron after a ten- innlng fight. Connie breaks an 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 breaks went Up other xxay. in sulting in criticism for tiio man ager and a late defense of hi* actions.
