COCKILL'S CREW COMING;
TO BE FAST AGGREGATION.
SCOURING FOR SOUTHPAW
War or no war, there will be base
ball in Harrisburg, and good sport
all season. This is the way Manager
George Cockill hands it out when a
conversation is started on baseball
probabilities. Manager Cockill has
been in the city twenty-four hours.
He is on the job and is wearing that
smile that indicates bright prospects.
He has not decided upon plans for
a local association. That may come
later. He was busy yesterday with
several prospective supporters, who
may get into the baseball business.
The local leader was also using up
writing paper In getting out his final
instructions for the local players to re
port. He said:
To Have Fast Buncli
"We are going to have a fast bunch
of boys this year. Some of the depart
ments will have to be decided by
workouts. The men who deliver the
goods will get the jobs. It is going to
be some battle for regular places. I
am still negotiating for two good back
stojs. I also expect to get some a4d
from Manager Connie Mack. 1 am
still scouring for a southpaw."
Manager Cockill has ordered his
players to report at Lewisburg, April

New York, April 4.—Giants will
battle to-night at the Manhattan A. C.
Fred Fulton, contender for heavy
weight championship honors, will meet
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma heavy
weight.
Both men are reported to be in good
shape, and they will need be, for both
are extremely hard punchers. Morris
is the original white hope, and while
he has flashed possibilities of develop
ing into a star at times, on other occa
sions he has looked decidedly bad.
Fulton of late has been going splen
didly and is punching fine.
It is up to both heavyweights to give
the best they have in stock to-nlglit.
The boxing game in New York state is
staggering under the heavy "punches"
directed at it by Governor W'hitman,
who is anxious to abolish the game en
tirely, and for the good of the sport \
Fulton and Morris should give the best
they have. A fiasco will certainly go a
great way toward killing boxing in
New York state, where it has flour
ished for years.
Weights N'enrly Equal
A comparison of the men shows that j
thero is very little to choose between i
them in the physical make-up. Fulton !
is expected to scale in at 22 2 pounds,
with Morris tipping the beam at 220,
so a difference of but two pounds will
not mean anything to them.
Morris, who is 6 feet 4 inches, is
J 94 inches shorter than his opponent.
Fulton also has 2% inches in reach on
Carl, but in their other measurements
odds are about even.
Both men have fought several times
during the last year, Carl doing his in
the far west around Kansas City and
vicinity, while Fulton has been per
forming in New York. Morris lost his
last light, while Fulton won his by a
knockout.
I The Sapulpa giant opposed Joe
Bonds in New York recently and the
referee disqualified Morris for fouling,
j but the New York critics declared that
the blow landed on Bonds, which was
to the stomach, was absolutely fair,
and the disqualification was unfair to
Carl, who was going along splendidly
! until the questionable blow was landed.
Fulton's last victim was Tohl Cow
ler, whom he finished in a couple of
rounds. He also found an easy victim
in Charlie (Young) Weinert. and dis
played dandy punching ability.
