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.

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.
