TEN-RBURD GO Gotham Crowd Hisses and Hoots' as Rival Heavyweights Put Up Tame Bout. By Right Cross. N EW 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 und persevering students of the box- fight, who still hope that they will see a real heavyweight engagement in New York—some time. The 500 pounds were divided into two equal section^ which were called, for the purpose of identification, Carl Morris and Jess Willard. The latter bad one pound the best of the weight, and triumphed in the great struggle by about that much margin. The weights were 234 1 -2 against 235, 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 v rowd seldom has been permitted to look upon. Yet that crowd was no' pleased. They hissed and booed and i ussed thoughtfully throughout the ten 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 ynder the lum bering runs and there was a slight swaying of iron posts and a splinter ing 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 nine times out of ten, there was no earnest applause, the students at the ringside appreciating but little ’he skill required to miss a 240-pound man. Nor did they bufst into wild yells of joy when Morris assiduously butted Mr. Willard in the face. They sort of seemed to expect it. Morris has been a goat so long that he was bound to pick 'ip some of the habit. : of that interesting animal. Crowd Hisses. This was Morris’ best blow—a hard solid, skull-to-the-mouth. It was his forward pass, his last desperate pla> , to win. when the battle was going j against him. Rut he didn’t get any ! credit for it. The crowd hissed him | more than ever. Mr. Willard had at good punch', too. It was a right-: hand slam for the jaw. but it was too i good for the league. He liked it so I much that he was loath to pass it oui. j Whenever he did. if mostly landed,; but he always seemed sorry lie had | parted with it, and he was careful j never to let it go twice in the same j round. But for this reluctance to part with. I his treasures and the fact that he j looks like the tenor in a “one-night ' stand" opera company, there is no doubt that Mr. Willard would have i future as a “white hope," if such can be said to have any future be yond "braking” on the, Chesapeake and Ohio.* As for Mr. Morris, his fu ture is written in his somewhat cor rugated map. He is a born receiver. It was somewhere along after 10 o’clock when they were posted into view under the electric lights with many plaudits. Mr. Willard appeared first. He stood 6 feet B inches and was onlv reasonably fat around the waistline. Mr. Morris was several inches shorter, but. being an expev - nnced fight man. he made up for this deficiency by packing in more weight amidships. Mr. Willard, who is of a chummy disposition, apparently, walked over find slapped Mr. Morris on the ■hol der. offering his hand at the same time. Mr. Morris turned and gaz*a at him with the air of a man who j finds a fat stranger ■copping hi.. sea, in the Pullman, and instead of grip ping the hand of fellowship he coldly examined his bandages and turned Hwav. A quivering shudder twept through the assemblage. It looked like murder now. Morris in Distress. A minute later they were facing each other in battle array, with Bil.y .(oh. the referee, bouncing around like a button that has snapped off one of their shoes. He would like to to record that a battle began point, but to a stern chronicler ot facts it is impossible. There nothing that resembled hostilities in I he Itrst round, nor m the second, nor lhe third, nor the nor the yes, there was. In the fifth^■ V, lard hit Morris the belt with that ri&jn we have mentioned, and Mr. - began to wabble. Obser\ ing » signs of distress, Mr. Wlilard gener ously refrained from battling am more the nonce. , In the sixth round this perform^ anee was repeated, with a fe mings in the shape of uppercuts and Mr. Morris gave even greater indi - lions of discomfort.

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. “I wonder how Newell, Morrison, McWhorter and Hardage would play in the same backfleld?” is a question that one has often heard. Well, it will be answered Saturday afternoon. f,,i- this quartet, the greatest quartet of backfleld stars that ever played in the South, will be seen in action on this eleven. In the line. Pitts, of Auburn, and Poeb. of Tech, will divide the time at center. At guards, Peacock, pf Geor gia; Hasslock, of Vanderbilt and Cheape. of Sewanee, will he seen. At tackles Lamb and Meadows, of Au burn will hold forth. Tom Brown was hooked, but he has been taken si( k and will be unable to come. The .same answers for Morgan, of Vandy, at center.

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 club-, that the story he would go to Toledo wds 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 Jet the cat out of the bag: New Orleans. J,a.. 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 Franks friends to-day. Frank virtually admitted that his resig nation will be tendered the board of directors of the loc^.1 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. * * * L ’l, WILLIE KEELER, looking as young as he ever was. except that his hair is turning gray as a badger’s, told a funny story 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 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 about baseball anyway?” Whitmore Leads All In Pinehurst Tourney PINEHURST, N.
