Whether that requisite remains with him after be has entered the roped arena is something Morris has been prone to queetion. That's something else that will brought out In their ferthcomlng battle.

Morrla. the original white hope, will be made or ruined by this effort.

He has. however, the stigma of a defeat at the hands of Morris, which must be wiped out before he can hope to force Jess Wlllard into a match.

One ef the ml lee waa la 2 with a noee and noee finish, and that they were stepping some waa evidenced by the tact that the laat half was at a salt. Then they agreed to a slow mile, which developed Into a heat In wttli the last rwo furlongs In Sltt aeconda That farced both of them to declare I' a day's work.

Ia between heats Thomas drove the three year old Wellington Direct tn 2:0. 6am Doree. by Akhlandorf pared ia with Joe Taylor up. Thla delighted the owner. Bam Plereon.
