    Leach Cross (b. 1886) was known as "the fighting dentist." He was indeed a dentist, born Louis Wallach in an Orthodox Jewish immigrant family on the Lower East Side. He won forty-three fights and fought five champions to draws. See Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience by Peter Levine (Oxford University Press 1992). Carl Morris (1887-1951) was a Kentucky fighter known as "the Original White Hope." cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/morris-c.htm

    Shorpy says this photo was taken on November 24, 1913, when Morris was training for his eighth fight of the year, against Jess Willard, on December 3. The last three of those fights, including the Willard bout, were at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. According to the stats online, Morris lost to Willard "NWS" -- but I don't know what NWS means. He lost a bout with Gunboat Smith on October 9 "DQ" -- I don't know what that means either, but I doubt it stands for Dairy Queen. On September 19, Morris conquered Al Reich with a knockout in the first round.
