Mrs. Morrow also haa a handsome 111 model Cadillac, which she handles very skillfully, but for a good bit of racing out on a eroooth stretch of road tha little Black Crow Is her particu lar delight. "It haa a guaranteed speed of 75 rtjllea an hour." said Mrs.. Morrow a few days ago. "and I haven't any doubt that It could keep that speed up Indefinitely, it runs so beautifully. Be cause of the long reach to the pedals It Is a little awkward for me to drive, but It l so low to the ground and runs so smoothly that one forgets this little drawback In skimming along so de lightfully."

With this month's bout out of tha way, Jim Cof froth has some matches In sight that promise Co keep the flstlo affairs bust ling. Tha latest news from tjia Coffroth bailiwick Is that tha promoter haa signed a lease for the pavilion at Eighth and Howard streets formerly used by Louis Blot. It Is In this open air structure that Co f froth's coming ma tones wllf be held. The first of these bouts will be on Eaturday afternoon. May 17, when Frankla Burns, of Oakland, takes a crack at Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion of tha world. Burns la Just now at Boyes Springs,' where he Is tak ing a light course of exercise, and at the same time taking a good rest. H will remain there until about the first of the month, and then return for three weeks In the gymnasium. Owen Moran to Get Chance. Both lightweights have signed an sgreement with Coffroth by which the winner will meet Owen Moran. It was no news that Wolgast had signed, but the Information came out Just this week that Burns had. agreed to the same proposition In case ha waa re turned tha winner. -I suppose that I will be criticised for agreeing to let Burns fight Moran In case he wins the championship six weeks earlier," said Jack Perkins, who Is handling Burns, "but I am willing: to stand the consequences. In fact, we are so sure that Burns can beat Moran we are willing to take the chance." It's a peculiar state of affairs, but the Burns people figure matters In a funny way. Perkins thinks that Moran has a chance to win the decision over Wolgast in a 20-round match, but doesn't believe Moran can lick Burns In any sort of a bout. It remains to be seen how the betting will be on the Burns-Wolgast bout, but the chances are that the public will stand by Wolgast because he Is the champion. Looking at the bout this far off from the actual match. It appears that Burns is the kind of a fighter built to order for the Cadillac champion. Wolgast, as anyone who has seen him In action knows, likes Infighting, and Burns Is the boy who will come right In and mix things. At .that, Frankle Is a good boy, with plenty of stamina and likely to give the Easterner a hard scrap. "Gunboat" Smith Training. "Gunboat" Smith, the local heavy weight. Is In training for a aix-round bout with Jim Barry that will take place before the Oakland wheelmen on Wednesday night. May S. Smith Is do ing bis boxing over at Billy Shannon's establishment in San Rafael. He is a mighty slow chap but has a world of confidence as to his ability to win from the Eastern man. Barry arrived the first of the week and hns started training in Oakland.
