By Right Cross. N ^UW YORK, Dec. 4.—Nearly 500 pounds of weight exhibited it self in the ring at Madison Square Garden last night for the edi fication of a few thousand callous tr ,; persevering students of the box- fig-ht. who still hope that they will tee a real heavyweight engagement ■ i New York—some time. Tie 500 pounds were divided into I • v p ^ual sections, which were called, / - p purpose of identification, Carl v -Ns and Jess Willard. The latter I,' one pound the best of the weight, ■ ■ triumphed in the great struggle about that much margin. Ti '- weights were 234 1-2 against I;;-, which should teach Morris never to go out of his class again. • \as a wonderful layout in lard, a g -v study In still life, a gathering :iams such as a New York tight ! n vd seldom has been permitted to ' ]n 0 k upon. Yet that crowd was not | p . They hissed and booed and .ssfi! thoughtfully throughout the i. • rounds. Even when the peaceful mountains detached themselves from • fir moorings and lurched in the ! ^m.'.il direction of each other, there was nothing like real enthusiasm, the ring shook under the lum-* he ring runs and there was a slight I swaying of iron posts and a splinter ing of planks. And they puffed and wheezed and panted and pushed Lows 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 nine times out of ten, there was no | earnest applause, the students at •lie ringside appreciating but little • hp skill required to miss a 240-pound I man. Nor did they burst into wild •ells of jov when Morris assiduously hutted Mr. Willard in the face. They sort of seemed to expect it. Morris as been a goat so long that he was hound to pick up some of the habit3 i of that interesting animal. Crowd Hisses. This was Morris’ best blow—a hard, solid, skull-to-the-mouth. It was bis j forward pass, his last desperate play ’o 'in, when the battle was going | Against him. Rut he didn’t get any iedit for it. The crowd hissed him I more than ever. Mr. Willard had a j good punch, too. It was a right- hand slam for the jaw, but it was too good for the league. He liked It so much that he was loath to pass it put. Whenever he did, it mostly landed, but he 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 h - treasures and the fact that he look* like the tenor in a “one-night- stapd” opera company, there is no i :bt that Mr. Willard would have a future as a “white hope.” if such van be said to have any future be- vond braking” on the Chesapeake and Ohio. As for Mr. Morris, his fu- ur- is written in his somewhat cor rugated map. He is a born receiver.

Members of Lewie Hardage's All- Stars, who battle with the Seven teenth Infantry football team at Ponce DeLeon Saturday afternoon, will begin to arrive in -the city to-day, and by to-morrow morning every man that will participate in the big battle should be on hand. The Seventeenth Infantry eleven is now a formidable aggregation. They showed a semblance of their real form when they defeated the Elev enth Cavalry Saturday. With Lieutenant Devore, star tac kle on the Army last season and at present an officer at the local post and coach of the eleven, playing with them, the local soldier boys should be even stronger than ever before. It has always been the wish of football fans to see a really all-star football team in action. This will be their opportunity. •1 wonder how Newell, Morrison. McWhorter and Hard age would play in the same baekfield?” is a question that one has often heard. Well, it -will be answered Saturday afternoon, for this quartet, the greatest quartet of baokfleld stars that ever played in the South, will be seen in action on this eleven. In the line, Pitts, of Auburn, and Doeb. of Tech, will divide the time at center. At guards. Peacock, of Geor gia; Hasslock, of Vanderbilt and Cheape, of Sewanee, will be seen. At tackles, Lamb and Meadows, of Au burn. will hold forth. Tom Brown was booked, but he has been taken sick and will be unable to come The same answers for Morgan, of Vandy, at center. At the ends. Jenks Glllem, the great Sewanef- end and kit'ker; Majors, his enual and former Auburn star, and Nuck Brown, of Vanderbilt, and Conklin, of Georgia, rated as the greatest defensive ends in the South, will he seen.

C HARLEY FRANK is ''dead'' In New Orleans, so is Kid Elber- feld, and It looks very much as though my genial friend. 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 1914. 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 Chol- 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? * * • T HE following dispatch from New Orleans has let the cat out of the bag: New Orleans, La., Dec. 4.— Charles Frank will quit as 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 lie calls together the directors of th* local club. • • • I ’L WILLIE KEELER, looking as young as he ever was. except | that his hair is turning gray as aj badger's, told a funny story to a bunch of scribes, fans and players i 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 refuge 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 iibout 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 student 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 a great talk on the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and enlisted all the students in this work. Sweaters with the B. II. S. monogram were then presented to the members of tlie team, ami as they were distributed, ProfessoT Dykes thanked and praised every man for his great playing this year PINEHURST, N.
