    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.
