THE SEATTLE STAR SEPTEMBER 12, 1923. “. Tod Morgan Is Headed for a World’s Ring Championship .’. Ml Pi MORGAN, world’s featherweight champion, It’s not impossible that we'll see that in print one of these fine days. The Seattle boy, by far the classiest mitt slinger ever seen in a local ring, is only 19 years of age now and is the best man of his weight in the West. And right now, in a short fight, Mor- gan could beat most any featherweight in the world, and that goes for Johnny Dun- dee and the re Morgan's six-round fights in Seattle are the only bouts he has been in over four rounds. He plans to take a fling at the 10-round game in Portland soon, just to try the longer distance, and if he gets by all right then he is planning to head East, gunning after a world’s crown, cause they do. The pity of it is that more of the fighters don’t follow his example. Morgan is the type of a boy who com- bines skill and decency in the ring, and the kind of a fellow who's bound to make of any calling. matches, but they show, too, that they apprec true class by the way they have turned out for Morgan, the boxing master Bercot and Krache are sluggers, willing, but inexperienced in the art of boxing. In fact, neither one will ever reach the heights that Morgan will because neither has his instinct and his ability, and take ‘em, either.

Bagby had a wonderful year in the American league in 1920, the season that Cleveland won the American flag and the world’s championship. He won $1 and lost 12 that year and ranked sixth in effectiveness with 2.89 earned runs per nine innings charged against him.

You don't see any Inflelders like Herman Long or Jimmy Collins or Larry Lajoie in baseball today. Infielders are way below the old standard.” Byron Is Champion ASEBALL fans in Los Angeles think Bill Byron broke a record when recently he refused to call a ball on @ pitcher because, as Bill ex plained it, “He's only a kid, so give him a chance.” But that isn't the only record one that Bill has made in his turbulent career, In the International league one year, Byron was umpiring, and there was @ runner on third. The batter hit a high fly to the infield and both the third baseman and catcher start- ed in pursuit of {t. “I got it,” shout- ed the coacher on the third base lines and so rattled the third base. man and the catcher that they stopped and let the ball fall safe, “You're out! Byron announced to the surprised patter. “What for?” demanded the enraged individual. “Vocal interference from the side lines," roared Byron, and he stuck to his decision. TRAVIE DAVIS ON S. F.
