Emulate. Slaps Bid Fellows in
the Garden on Dec. 2'
M .
. NEW YORK. Nov. 7.~Accordlng to
Manager Gibson, ot the Garden A. 0..
there will be no hitch in the present
negotiations for a ten round bout be-
tween Jess Willard and Carl Morris
hereon December 2. Gibson said yes-
terday that he had received several let-
ters and telegrams from Tom Jones.
Willards manager, indicating that the
big Texan would accept the Garden’s
terms within the next day or two. Mor-
ris already has signed articles to box
Willard in the Madison Square areas.
But if Willard at the last moment de~
cid'es to back out, Dan Dolley, the
Pittsburgh heavyweight, who recently
stopped Paler in two rounds, will be
substituted. 'Dalley’s manager, Jimmy
’Bime, has wired Gibson asking for it
boils with IMorris on the above data.
“in consider the match already made
as far as Willard is concerned." said
Gibson yesterday. "Tom Jones asked
for terms several days ago and Imade
him an odor which probably will be
accepted. II ~think that Willard and
Morris will draw more money than any
other heavyweights and the result of
the heart will go a long way toward de-
ciding the white hope championship."
Morris’s manager, William Newman,
said yesterday that the big fellow
might take on nodal, the Boer. at the
i‘airmont A. C. in about two «weeks, but
taht nothing had been agreed upon—yet.
Morris is willing to cancel all, engage-
ments if he can secure Willard forDe-
camber 2. Morris and.Willnrd are-the
biggest lighters in the ring. Morris is
ti feet. 4 inches tall and weighs 280
pounds, while the cowboy is 6 feet. '0
inches in height and tips the beam at
225.
Gunboat «Smith and Sam Langtoro)
have been matched finally to box
twelve rounds at“ the Atlas A. A., in
Boston, on November 17. it is under-

interfere as there is no great objection

When Leach Crosswciimbs through
the ropes with Willie Ritchie at the
Garden, New York, next Monday night
it will. be the supreme moment oi the
boxer's rfistlc career. This lean, fra-
gile looking Hebrew has seen three
lightweight champions pass since he
first donned the mitts. During that
time he has been boning steadily, and
yet he is now at the height of his
form. 'While the two former cham—
pions now living are battered wrecks
Cross is better than ever. And yet
he has been as. active as they.
During his long career Cross has
met most ot‘ the best men of his class.
with the exception of the champions.
No title holder until 'thchle's time
has thought lit to grant Cross a match.
vwm..-...~. ,H-Wm - ”a... W
i
In fact there never was a demand for;
Cross to figure in a. titular battle un-
til recently. For years he was looked
upon merely as a New York second
rater. His fame was strictly local.
But now at this late date he has be‘
come known all over the country as
one of the leading contenders for the
title.
Few boxers have reached the zenith
of their careers after taking part in
as many bouts as Cross has. With
him his turning point may be still
some distance oil. Certainly, he shows
no signs of being near the time when
his powers will begin to wane.
What adds to the mystery is the fact
that physically Cross is far from rug-
ged, as far as appearances go. ‘His
long, thin neck looks out of place in
a fighting manvand his lean body and
attenuated features appear more like
those of a victim of the white plague
thanihose of a robust athlete.
— iii Cross were a clever boxer his
power to last might be more easily eit-
pinned. but be Is far from being a
glove scientist. Frequently he has
been compelled to suffer severe pun-
ishment. During the days of his no~
vltlate he was knocked out more than
once, and as a rule he was well beat-
en up before he won.

Weight. since ho hoer Jeannette here

Smith's eagerness to meet Langlord
in regarded as somewhat unusual in
view of the fact that the Gunboat has
refused steadily to box Curl Morris
again. «Smith is not much as a detain
slve lighter and an n slugger he failed
to make it“ impression on Willard and
Frank Moran in twenty round bouts.
For that reason ring sharps cannot fig—
