N -GW YORK. Dec 3 Nearly ..00
pound* of bone and brawn will
clash in the Madison Square
Garden ring to-night when Carl Mor
ris and .TesK Willard put up their
gloved hands for a ten-round bom
Willard said to-day that he would
weigh alxmt 230 pounds, while Morris
admitted that he might tip the beam
at 23.7. These men are the biggest
white heavyweights in the world and
also Hie tallest. Willard stands u
feat 0 inches in his stockings and
Morris Is only two inches shorter
Each was born in 1880 and their ring
experience is limited. Willard began
lighting two years ago, while Morris’
first scrap for money occurred .n
mo.
In spite of the fact that Willard has
a< < otnpllshed more in ring contests,
Morris is a 10 to 8 favorite, probablj
because he put up such a hard fight
with Gunboat Smith in the Garden
early in October. Morris is wonder -
l fully strong and game. He was a
greenhorn when Jim Flynn hammer
ed him for ten rounds here two years
ago. but he has kept on improving
until he begin* to look like a real
heavyweight. He has changed his
jttyla completely. His 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
Flvnn
Willard probably Imows more about
boxing than the Oklahoma giant ami
cat) bit too But Joel what he can
accomplish when Morris puts him
under a heavy fire remains to be seen.
Willard is so tall that few of his
opponents have been able to reach
his jaw He move* about with sur
prising agility and has a good left
hand.
The State Athletic Commission at
yesterday's meeting raised .Willard's
suspension, while William Joh was
agreed upon us the referee.
Otis Crandall Will
Quit Game for Good
NEW YORK. Deo. 3 On the best
of authority it is learned that Otis
Crandall, the noted emergenrN crew,
will not be a member of the Giants
or any other baseball aggregation
next season The authority Is none
other than Old Doc” himself. He
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 any minor league team.
Crandall left New York with his
wife and baby immediately after- re
celving hi* world’s series check and
is now at home for the winter on his
broad Indiana acres. He may never
return to New York as an active ex
ponent of the national pastimes When
he departed he honestly believed he
was saying a long farewell to the
other player* Rut he may change
Ills mind
Crandall's sudden release to the St
l.ouis club last season renewed his
determination to quit. Only those
whose whole major league experience
has been with a winning team real
ize the sinking sensa.tion that ac
companies a transfer to a tail-ender.
McGraw recalled Crandall two
weeks after this deal was made, as
the Cardinals did not particularly
need him and the Giants felt that lie
was entitled to another slash at a
world's series melon
Hut even if he is not traded it is
doubtful whether he will rejoin the
Giants If he feels thHt he ran not
be of much help to them he will stay
away.

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 plays
third base for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
will have another Georgia boy for a
side-kick—the same being Claude
Derrick, quite a short stopper, though
remembered as a. second baseman at
the University of Georgia j«>me sea
sons ago.
There is quite a little srtorv that
may be told of the wanderings of
Claude, and we are now going to
tell it.

C LAUDE played football as well as
baseball at the State University.
»Some people fancied lie played it bet
ter, but that is problematical. Any
way, he was a very good guard and
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 infield,er
’lie would in all probability be teach
ing school down about Clayton. Ga.,
where 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.
