m r TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Good Ring Performers, Unlike Good Wines, Never Seem to Improve Wit h Age & TEN-ROUND 60 Gotham Crowd Hisses and Hoots as Rival Heavyweights Put Up Tame Bout. By Right Cross. N KfVC YORK, Dec. 4.—Nearly r>00 pound* of weight, exhibited it self in the ring at Madison Square Garden last night for the edi fication of a few thousand callous and persevering students of the box- fight, who still hope that they will see a real heavyweight engagement n New York—some time. The BOO pounds were divided into • wo ''dual sections, which were called, 'or the purpose of identification, Carl Morris and Jess Willard. The latter nad one pound the best of the weight, and triumphed in the great struggle bv about that much margin. The weights were 234 1-2 against ;35 which should teach Morris never to go out of his class again. It was a wonderful layout in lard, a great study in still life, a gathering of hams such as a New York fight crowd seldom has been permitted to look upon. Yet that crowd was not pleased. They hissed and booed and missed thoughtfully throughout the en rounds. Even when the peaceful mountains detached themselves from their moorings and lurched in the general direction of each other, there was nothing like real enthusiasm, though the ring shook under the lum bering runs and there was a slight swaying of iron posts and a splinter- ng of planks. And they puffed and wheezed and panted and pushed blows at each other after the fashion f the late Ralph Rose breaking the world’s record at putting the shot. Even when they missed, as they did ; lie times out of ten, there was no earnest applause.' the students at •e ringside appreciating but little the skill required to miss a 240-pound man. Nor did they burst into wild veils of joy when Morris assiduously Kitted Mr. Willard in the face. They sort of seemed to expert it. Morris as been a goat so long that he was hound to pick up some, of the habit3 of that interesting animal. Crowd Hisses. This was Morris’ best blow—a hard, sol:d. skull-to-the-mouth. It was his or ward pass, his last desperate play to win, when the battle was going against him. But he didn’t get any •edit for it. The crowd hissed him more than ever. Mr. Willard had a good punch, too. It was a right- band slam for the jaw, but it was too g'jod for the league. He liked it so much that he was loath to pass it out. Whenever he did, it mostly landed, but h« always seemed sorry he had parted with it, and he was careful never to let it go twice in the same But for this reluctance to part with bis treasures and the fact that he ■ 'Oks like the tenor in a “one-night- s'anri” opera company,’ there is no doubt that Mr. Willard would have future as ‘a "white hope,” if such An be said to have any future be- vond "braking'' on the Chesapeake nnd Ohio. As for Mr. Morris, his fu- • are is written in his somewhat cor rugated map. He is a born receiver. It was somewhere along after 10 c ock w'hen they were posted into Tien- under the electric lights with manv plaudits. Mr. Willard appeared first. He stood 6 feet 6 inches and was onlv reasonably fat around the waistline. Mr. Morris was several inches shorter, but, being an experi enced fight man. he made up for this deficiency by packing in more weight amidships. Mr. Willard, who is of a chummy «position, apparently, walked over and slapped Mr. Morris on the shoui- , der. offering his hand at the same “ ime Mr. Morris turned and gazed at him with the air of a man t'ho finds a fat stranger "copping" his seat n the Pullman, and instead of £t*iP' ping the hand of fellowship he coldly examined his bandages and turned away. A quivering shudder swept through the assemblage. It looked • ike murder now. Morris in Distress A minute later they were facing I "HCh other in battle array, with Bil y ■oh. the referee, bouncing around like a button that has snapped off one or ■heir shoes. He would like to be ab-e o record that a battle began at thij point, but to a stern chronicler M facts It is impossible. There was . nothing that resembled hostilities In h* first round, nor in the second, nor • the third, nor the fourth, nor the— . ves, there was. In the fifth Mr V • *rd hit Morris the belt with that rignt have mentioned, and Mr. Morris began to wabble. Observing these ; signs of distress, Mr. Willard gener- • ously refrained from battling any more the nonce. in the sixth round this perform- htu » ^as repeated, with a few trun kings in the Shape of uppercuts, and •Mr Morris gave even greater ind> 1 tiers of discomfort. His seconds Btust have warned Mr. Willard at tne close of this round, for in the seventh anded onlv one or two rights, arid then*, were high on the cheekbone where a fascinating promontory' of *‘ n ual promontoriness began to * * v «lop.

Count Louis Castro, will not be asked to fulfill his contract as coach and press agent for the Pelicans next season. Johnny Dobbs, who piloted a bushy- looking lot of warriors last season in a masterly style, is going to manage the New Orleans outfit in 1014. This is no guess. I have learned from "those who know" that Dobbs, when he signed with Charley Som ers, owners of Cleveland, Toledo and New Orleans clubs, that the story he would go to Toledo was all to the bunk. He signed to manage New Orleans. But Somers hinted the Toledo angle to throw off the wise ones until he had found a loophole? to shove the chunky Frank through. He has finally found a job for Choi- ly. Instead of managing the Pelicans next season he will support the title of Southern representative of Charles Somers, vice president of the Amer ican League. Quite some title, eh? f * * • T HE following dispatch from New Orleans has let the cat out of the bag: New Orleans, La.. Dec. 4.— Charles Frank will quit ns man ager of the New Orleans baseball team on January 1. Instead of piloting the Pelicans for another season he will be Southern repre sentative of Charles Somers, vice president of the American League. This information came from Frank’s friends to-day. Frank virtually admitted that his resig nation will be tendered the board of directors of the local club at a meeting to be called as soon as the Somers contract making him Southern representative is in his hands. Frank several days ago inti mated that his quarrel with Som ers. beginning August 10. when Johnny Dobbs signed a Somers contract, would be thrashed out in the courts. The Pelican manager has hired a lawyer here and will wait until Somers contract reaches New Orleans before he calls together the directors of the local club. I I, WILLIE KEELER, looking as voung o« he <»vpr was. exoppt that h s h.a.r is turning as a , badger’s, told a funn> st to a | bunch of scribes, fans and players | the other night In a Broadway hang out. It was on himself. Wee Willie (Giant scout now. you know, likes nothing better than to chance in on a bunch of kids playing a “lot game.” He did this not long ago and witnessed a big row when the long, skinny boy umpire handed out a certain decision. The little captain of the team fighting the ruling turned to Willie Keeler as one seeking reftlge in the Court of Maturity. “Wasn’t that a strike, mister?” he demanded. “Sure it was,” declared one of the greatest batters that ever happened. "Aw,” said the other kid captain fiercely, "what does that old boob know about baseball anyway?” Coach Wood Honored By Boys’ High Team Coach Wood, of the Boys’ High School team this year, was presented a handsome after-dinner coffee set by the studpht body at the meeting last night. Professor Dykes, In his presentation speech, thanked Mr. Wood for his help to the team this year and also expressed to him the nigh feeling in which the boys held him The coach responded. and. after thanking the students for the gift, promised to return next year and do his best with the men that turn out for the team. Harrison .Jones, an alumnus of the Boys’ High .School, gave u great talk on the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and enlisted all the students In this work. Sweaters with the B. H S monogram were then presented to the members ol the team, and as they were distributed. Professor Dykes thanked and praised every man for his great playing this 3 ear.
