Morris borne Is Sapulpa, but to tell
the truth the entire state lays claim to
proud ownership of the youngster

the man to take the title away from
J. Arthur Johnson. When a stranger

The entire state apparently has gone

weal live heavyweight boxer who may
some day have a chance at the highest
(honors of the ring. In Sapulpa they

the promotera that It will scarcely be
large enough to hold the big fellow's
admirers on the night of March IS.

In two rounds, and the newspapers say

Oklahoma sports who are not given to
doing things by halves are now offering
to bark the Clnclnnatlan against any

Champion Johnson, and their own par

Rller "Wise" Bird In Game.
It will be observed that Ksufmsnn
and Langford axe eligible under the
terms of challenge, but I guesa there Is
little to be feared from either of those
gladiators, aa both have other con
tracts on hand which promise to keep
them busy for a long time. However.
I am In-lined to the opinion that Con
Klley would have blue penciled the
challenge somewhat before giving It to
the press had he the opportunity. Con
la too old a bird and too foxy to send
youngster out to tackle the toughest
ztuts In the game without proper school
Ins; and experience.
New Yorkers are still talking about
the recent Wolgast-Brown battle and
hardly know whether to give "Knock
out ' credit for being a rrackerjack or
to figure Adoplh according to the Bat
tling Nelson dope. Nelson, you will
remember, referred to Woiaaat aa a
"cheese champion." and not a few are
ef the same opinion. All are asrreed
that Ad wss the lucky little boy to
catch Pat going Instead of coming, else
there would have been no champion
ship title In the Wolga.t family.
Some few of the critics handle the
Knjrt without gloves In their papers and
one or two go so far as to say that
Troth belong In the preliminary class.
Bat Masterpon says Brown Is the poor
est excuse for a fighter he ever clap
ped eyee upon, and that Wolgast Is not
much better. Masters-n argues that
either Fal Moore or "Young Pammy"
Fmtth would fight rlnrs around Wol
gast and Brown and that It would be
eruet to put them against such clever
lada aa McFarland snd Moran.

Langford to Meet McVey.
I note that Langford haa slipped over
to Paris, whsre he Is to take on 8am
McVey. late of Oxnard. CaL. but of
more recent years a cttlsen of Paris.
McVey haa been In pretty soft In Paris
for the laat year or two and the pick
ing haa been easy. The only setbac he
met with waa when Joe Jeannette made
him quit In a finish fight, but the
Frenchmen have long ago forgiven and
forgotten that little Incident and once
more regard him aa Invincible. Lanx
ford ought to experience no great dif
ficulty In disposing of the big coon. Mc
Vey has been Idle for quite a time and
must be rusty, while the tar baby la In
the pink of condition probably better
than at any time In his career.
Joe Jeannette. by the way. Is not sat
isfied that Langford la a better man
than he Is and wants Samuel to go
over the Marathon route, lie will short
ly sail for France with that object In
view. Joe feela that while Langford
may outpoint him for IS rounds or so
he will put the kibosh on the man who
licked Australia's champion In a finish
fight. And Kam may feel that way
about It. too, for he haa put his foot
down hard on the long-dlstanae propo
sition, claiming that It rounds are
enough for either to demonstrate su
periority. The Trench sports are strong
for the finish thing, however, and Sam
may be persuaded to change his mind
If the financial Inducements are large
enough.
