CARL MORRIS IS BEATEH AGAIN Oklahoma "Hope"' Is Foiled by Boxing Skill of Brooklyn Adonis For Ten Rounds. '

New Tork, Feb. 13. Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn Adonis, kept Carl Morris at bay for ten rounds at the.Carlyle. A. C. in Brooklyn last night and gained the popular decision on cleverness. The cumbersome Oklahoman failed to do any material damage to the eastern heavyweight, although he roughed it at every opportunity. A bump under Stewart's eye was the extent of the damage done- by Morris, while the westerner's features were badly gashed by Stewart's stinging Jabs. Stewart showed up in frbnt In eight rounds, while the first and sixth were even. In those sessions Morris threatened to wipe Stewart all oiVr the ring, but the Brooklynlte guaged his punches and landed them precisely as Morris rushed in. MorfTsf plugged away at close range, but when lie found that lie could not Inflict any damage he became discouraged and permitted Stewart to get in his handy work at a distance. Stewart fought in' the-same fashion throughout. He jabbed several times with his left, enraging the Sapulpa giant, and as the latter pushed in -Stewards mighty right was awaiting the Commencing Friday evening, February 16 the Ka.st Chicago Amusement Association will run a series of wrestling carnivals at the Lewis skating rink and in order to satisfy the fans some of the best talent in the country has been secured and will be decided by the best two out of three falls.

original "white hope." Stewart landed many clean blows and repeatedly slowed up Morris with solid punches to the Jjody. The result was a tremendous surprise to the throng at the ringside. Morris was expected to crush Jim with his heavy blows, and some money was wagered that he would stop the local man. But it was not to be. Morrfs looked even worse than he did in his fight with Jim Flynn. He seamed lacking in a variety of blows as usual, using a right uppercut almost exclusively. When Stewart foXind this was all Carl had in stock he got busy and carried the battle to the giant from Oklahoma. The victory brings Stewart in prominence once more afters long string of setbacks. When Jim first started out three or four years ago he was hailed as a coming champion. Then he got going too fast, fought the stars before he gained experience and hit the downward trail. This fight will give him confidence once more, and already his friends are talking about sending him after A I Palzer.

Both teams are doing hard practice- work in preparation as the winners will loom up as the possible champs.'

Crown Point has also wiped the platter clean and then last, but not least, Hobart will get a chance. , .... . , FOR 1 QUAKER YOUNGSTERS Peaches Graham Is a cub no longer. The stocky- catcher, secured by the u'pt elde cJuh last Rummer in the deal which, sent John Kllner to Boston, was traded yesterday to Philadelphia for -two- .youngsters, Pitcher'- Ward and Catcher .Cotter. ; - . . Young . Cotter, whose Jname appears in tHi'e records as Carter, and who pastimed 'he-re under that name last year, has long, been coveted by Manager Chanca. President Fogel of the Phillies is authority for the statement that the name should be Cotter. Mr. Fogel has been wrong before and no one is willing to swear whether it's Carter or Cotter until the young man himself has been consulted. The young catcher made such a repuIon as an infielder with the Manhatton'X";oUege team that the York TriState leage club took him on for a trial. York was badly in need of a catcher and Cotter admitted that he could catch as well as play the infield. So he was given the chance and made good from the jump. The Phillies purchased him late in the season, and li appeared in several games after the. race was practically over. His appearance and carriage impressed Manager Chance, who advised President Murphy to land him if possible. BANTAM SCRAP STIRS THE FANS New Orlean?, Feh. 13. Seats are going fast for the Coulon-Burns twentyround scrap at the West Side Athletic ciub on Sunday for the world's bantam crown. Chances are the fight will be a test of speed against speed. Critics around town do not believe Frankie will go to rlos quarters with Coulon if he-can help it. They argue that Coulon Is betterbuilt for work at close quarters and that Burns will certainly try to make it a stand-oft battle. Coulon's adherents, however, declare he will be well prepared, no matter what kind of a battle Burns decides to wage.

Sam Langford, th Boston tar baby, 1 - was given the decision over Jim Barry, the white American heavyweight, after twenty rounds of fierce fighting in the. Mcintosh stadium this afternoon. Langford, of course, was the favorite, because of his great record against Barry. They had fought nine times in the United States, and Langford was the winner eight times, six of the victories being knockouts. Barry once W8s given th popular verdict. , In the face of this record Barry made a wonderful showing today. He carried the fight to his ebony opponent, and though outbozed a bit It hardly can be said that he was outfought. Many at the ringside were of the. opinion Jim should have had a draw, the verdict Langford deserved when against McVea. ... . Each man took "a lot of punishment and came back with gamenees for more. There was scarcely an idle moment in -the hour 'of fighting, and the big crowd left the arena satisfied with having seen a great battle. GARY BASKET BALLJ3CHEDULE Games in the city championship.

Marshall, the tall young pitcher who warmed up in public a few times last season on -the west side. The reports of the scouts on him were so good that Manager Chance and President Murphy were, unwilling to risk drafting, and purchased the youngster outright from the Rock ford team in the WisconsinIllinois league. Rockford won the pennant and Marshall won thirteen out of eighteen games. Marshall ia a strapping kid and Chance expects him to develop into a wonder. He will be given lots of coaching on the southern trip, experience being apparently all be lacks. Marshall is 22 years old, stands six feet three and weighs two pourds less than . 200.; He is a Mlchigander, his birthplace being Saginaw. ' Marshall started pitching professionally In 1909 at Seattle, Wash. - The Seattle team sold him in mid-season to Butte in . the Intermountain league," which ' in ' turn sold him to Davenport. At-the end-of the 1909 season Marshall was sold to the Vernon Pacific Coast league club, but couldn't see the California team's terms and - failed to report. lie finished the 1910 season In Mexico.' arid last year was a sensation at Rockford. ; Besides -pitching like a house afire.
