New York. Feb Z7.-More important
now than when it was made is that twen-
ty-round fight between Tommy Murphy.
the best lightweight New York has
turned out in A decade, and owen Moran,
the British boxer. which takes place to-
morrow at Jim COffroth's arena at Col
ma. Cal. The importance IL attached 10
it because Champion Ad Wolgast's logical
opponent for the lightweight crown Will
be named.
Moran has been on the Coast for more
than two weeks now. and has done Moth
ing but spend his time conditioning him
self for the mill Murphy was handi-
capped in the process by full week, but
this ought not 10 injure his chances in the
least. Tommy is always within two weeks
Of his best form, and he is already 1T
and fine for the battle. He says that he
is sure to win. that the California climate
agrees with him, and that the making Of
the required 133 pounds has been 40 trou-
bic for him.
Moran needs a lot Of work. not to
make weight. but to fit him right for a
battle with such good one as Murphy.
owen always cid like his 'alf and 'alf,
and he has gone 10 the limit IN absorbing
it, His frequent overindulgence was
| principally the cause OF his two poor
fights against Matty Baldwin, one of
which he lost and the other he won.
What is more. the Briton is not 50
likely to work hard for Murphy. He has
always said that Murphy is a pudding
for him three times a day, despite the
fact that Murphy has really beaten him
twice in three starts. On the other hand.
he may not want TO take any chances in
view Of the close proximity Of the light
weight championship. and he may work
harder than he ever did in his life. and
almost meet the ideals Of the perfectly
conditioned athlete.
The first time Murphy and Moran met
in this city Murphy was the winner.
Moran started of ike whirlwind. but
Tommy slowed him up, and at the finish
was giving him a beating that he would
hardly have survived many rounds. They
met again at the Fairmont Club in the
Bronx. and Moran had decidedly the best
! of the affair. Being even up. they went
to Boston and there had a twelve-round
tilt, which resulted in Moran getting the
decision a ruling which was referred 70
by the Boston fight scribes as another
/ betting decision" And that's how mat
ters stand. The fighters are evenly
matched. and it looks very much as
though the event would go the limit.

DAILY ROUTINE FOR JEFFRIES

Now that Little Jimmy Jeffries is back
in his home town, all ready to settle
down to serious work, it behooves the
bards who sing the praises of modern
heroes TO delve down deep into the Sc
crets of the retired champions daily
routine. says Goldberg. in the New York
Mail. Every one of his moves from now
till the day of the big battle with john
son will be chronicled as diligently as
the pulse and respiration of a dying king.
From the reports Of Jeffs daily work
already slipped to US over the wire from
the Coast, the big fellows daily sched-
ule will probably read something like
this:
s a. m.-Arises and takes iee-cold
shower Jumps out of second-story win
dow. and works up an appetite by running
fifty miles on top Of a rail fence. Comes
home and puts on clothes
6.10 a. m.-Sits down to light breakfast.
which consists Of three dozen hard boiled
eggs, four steaks, three gallons of coffee.
several loaves of bread. and thirty-six
baked apples Rests for one minute.
200 a. m.-Chops a few thousand cords
of wood. plows a couple OF thousand
acres, miIks all the cows in the neighbor-
hood. and then starts to climb Mount
Qazop. which reaches to an altitude OF
10, Sg7. 4s1 feet above the level Of the sea.
To make the climb worth while as a
means of taking off weight. he packs a
| ton of coal in each hand.

CRITIC DOWN AND OUT.
Former PugiIist Example of Having
Gone Pace That Kills.

Gone Pace That Kills.
Young Critic. the Australian feather
weight and probably the cleverest man
who ever put UP his hands In a ring, has
not returned 10 Australia as a great many
people imagined, nor has he been sent TO
an asylum. as was reported some time
ago. A Cleveland sporting man in Chicago
last week happened to bump into the
Australian feather weight by accident. He
was but a shadow OF his former self, and
could not remember the interviewer until
he had been reminded of bygone DAYS.
when he was showing as one Of the stars
in Chicago. Critic is not a very different
looking person from the one who used to
delight various cities OF the United States.
He has taken to his old haunts on the
south side of Chic lgo. and if he keeps
up his present gait it will not be a great
while before the end or the once great
feather-weight will be announced.
Critic is quite fieshy and his hair is
white He looks TO be man fifty years
of age. although he is far from that At
the present time he is living from hand to
mouth, and is being supported by his
friends. and il is hard 70 say what his
end will be. 1t is only ten years ago that
Critic could command a purse up in the
thousands, and the promoters were glad
10 get him. There are few boxers who
have taken the downward path and con-
tinued it such as Critic has done the past
ten years.

was not said in a bitter tone, nor did II

Chicago and Cleveland will launch a lot
OF green material on the baseball map
this season, and youngsters are always
uncertain. To the writer the Maps look
weak, but Chicago's superb pitching stan
will cut a big figure and may keep the
Sox in the running.
These are the clubs McAleer hopes TO
beat out this season. although he will
commit himself only on ST. Louis
1T looks 20 me, declared the veteran,
''as II Detroit would again capture the
championship, with Philadelphia and Bos-
ton the runners-up." McAleer cannot see
the New York Americans in the same
class with the trio mentioned, but figures
them to finish about where they did last
year.
A number OF the fans have been won
dering what Manager McAleer viii do
with Wild Conroy; whether or not this
player viii be put on the market, now
that Kid Elberfeld has been obtained for
the third station Manager Jim said
"Conroy is too good ball player to let
slip away He will be carried through
the season and be given plenty OF work
TO do. I believe that Conroy played in
hard luck last year and will do a whole
lot better this season. He can be used
as utility outfelder and third baseman.'
The Georgetown baseball coach invited
Manager McAleer up 10 watch the Blue
and Gray candidates practice yesterday
afternoon, and McAleer was greatly i'm
pressed with Georgetown's material He
said that with such good stun lying
around. there was no wonder that
Georgetown turned out championship
teams every year.
