BOUT Has A QUEER LOOK
Was MOran-Murphy Battle on Coast
a Frame-upl
When Boxers Entered Ring English
man Was Favorite and Decision
Went Against Him.

New York, March 1.-The fact that
Harlem Tommy Murphy received a decI-
sion over English Moran at the end of a
twenty-round bout in Frisco last night
not only caused a general feeling of sur
prise here to-day, but provided ground
for the belief that somebody must have
cleaned up handsomely by taking the
short end of the betting. Moran was
favorite. the price being 10 to when the
men entered the ring.
Then a bunch of educated money"
showed on the Murphy end with so much
peTsistency that the rumor spread
through the big crowd in dreamland rink
there was something in the wind
Moran's advantage Of fifteen rounds was
pronounced, and the verdict of Referee
Eddie Smith in the local boxers favor
was received by the crowd with unnlis-
taxable displeasure. the reports say. but
the bets stood as laid.
Many queer fights have been pulled or
on the Coast. The gambling element has
always shown unusual interest in them,
and it is tradition that the sure-thing
men have seldom been wrong II is a
fact that several individuals who are now
cutting an important figure in pugilism
in California have been accused OF par
ticipating in former fakes in which big
money changed hands. Whether the
Moran-M Murphy fight was frame-up 10
win sure money or not will probably re-
main an unsolved problem. but good ring
judges who have seen these pugilIsts
meet in several bouts here cannot mako
themselves believe that Monday nights
contest was a real test.

EBBETS CONTROLS STOCK.
G. p. Taft and c. w. Murphy Have No
Interest In Brooklyn Club.

New York, March because somebody
started a rumor in Cincinnati the other
day that C. P Taft and C. vs. Murphy
possibly owned stock in the Brooklyn
baseball club. President c. H. Ebbets in
vited reporters TO inspect the clubs stock
certificates to-day. Ebbets and Treas
urer H. w. Mendicus concealed nothing
apparently. 1t was shown that the capt.
tai stock consisted of $500 shares, valued
at 500 each. Ehbets counted out enough
paper 10 show that he owned 400 shares;
that Mendicus owned $50. and c. H. Eb-
bets. jr. had $50. and that A c. Wall.
Jersey City lawyer. held one share.
The Brooklyn clubs president said that
it required more than $4,000 to buy out
the former owners, F. A. Abel, Edward
Hsnlon, and the late H. R. Vonderhorst,
and that not share of stock had been
purchased by any of the present holders
since December. 1907.
Ebbets announced that the dedication
Of the Henry Chadwick memorial win
dow in the Church of Our Father in
Brooklyn will take place on Easter Sun
day. The money for the window was Sc.

DECLARE FOR GAME
Students Call Abolition of
Football Mistake.
DEBATE HELD AT GEORGETOWN
PhiIodemic Society Members Vote
for Return of Popular Sport TO
Hilltop Institution - Characterize
Action OF Faculty as Hasty-Grid-
from Men Among Those 10 Argue.

The Georgetown University undergTadu-
ates last night again called the attention
of the college faculty and others inter
ested to the fact that they most strongly
advocate the re-establishment Of football
games at the Hilltop institution. In a
debate before the Philodemie Society OF
the college those who supported the az
firmative OF the question: Resolved. That
he abolition OF football at Georgetown
University was hasty and a mistake" re-
ceiyed the commentator OF the society
on the merits Of their side OF the ques-
ton as presented, by vote OF u to 10
from tho members.
William Fitzgerald. who played guard
on last years team and who is manager
elect for next season, and his colleague,
Leo Joliet, who was one Of the subhalf
backs, presented what appears 20 be the
sentiment OF the majority of the students
in q most concise and effective argument,
which won over the argument of the
negative. presented by John Lyon and
Edward Carter. who played end on last
fairs team.
The affirmative laid great stress on the
great popularity Of football as a fall
sport, and called attention to the poor
success met in trying to substitute soccer
football for the other sport. They claimed
that the soccer games played in this city
last fan were an absolute failure in the
matter OF arousing general interest such
as attends football game
Would Lose other Sports.
The result OF this lack OF interest. they
said. would Immediately show itself in
the gate receipts and 1t would inevitably
result in no baseball team. no track team,
and no crew. The financing of these
sports, according 10 a statement Of Man
ager Fitzgerald, depended to quite
large extent on the money taken in by
the football team.
That the action was hasty was declared
true by the affirmative on the grounds
that the abolition Of the game was de-
cided on by the faculty twenty-four hours
after the accident in which Archer Chris
tan, the Virginia player. lost his life
in the game with Georgetown. The mega
tive refuted this, however. by statements
which showed that the faculty had had
such action under consideration for near
ly two years
Education Is Purpose.
The negative called attention to the
umeWorn argument that parents sent
their children to college 10 be educated.
not for the purpose Of playing football.
one OF the speakers made the rather
howery statement that It was the sacred
duty of the priests in the university to
care for their charges. given TO them In
sacred trust and also later referred TO
the 'blood-stained sands of the gridiron."

WITNESS IN BURKE
CASE IS SEEN HERE
Luetta Smith Spoken To on Ho-
noluIu Street-AIso Burke's
Sister.
(FrOm wednesaay 5 Advertiser.l

NfTOm wednesday $ AQVcrJlSer.)
A merry game of tag which has
progressed across the Pacific Ocean
several times was made public yester-
day, when it was announced that Chief
McDuffie had been searching for Luetta
Smith, an important witness in.the now
famous Burke case at Santa Rosa, Cali
fornia.
Six weeks ago the chief received a
cable from the prosecuting attorney of
Sonoma county, stating that Miss Smith
was stopping at the Waikiki Inn. In
quiry here and at other hotels failed
to show here whereabouts, and the an.
swer sent back by the local department
was to this effect. Another one came
at once, reiterating emphatieally that
the woman had been seen here.
A minute investigation was made,
every clearinghouse and hotel in the
city being searched A woman who
had lived at Santa Rosa had seen Miss
Smith and the little girl that is sup
posed to be her daughter, and had
spoken to her.
This woman also saw the sister of
Burke, the doctor who is held under
charge of having attempted to dynamite
the home of Miss Smith. The sister
was seen sitting on the park fence op
posite the Young Hotel, and when she
saw the other she appeared startled and
walked hastily away.
The police still keep close watch or
| the town for the woman, but theil
chances of finding her are impaired
through the publication of the story
by an afternoon paper yesterday, which
by so doing violated an unwritteI
agreement between the newspapers anG
the police, by which no story that viii
hamper the latter in their work is tt
be printed. Reporters of all the Eng
lish papers have known of the searcl
being made for the past month, the
police relying on their honor not to
| publish the facts before release.
Miss Smith is of a striking appear
ance and could easily be picked out OF
crowd. She is very wrinkled anG
somewhat gaunt. She was a nurse in
Burke Is sauatorium at Santa Rosa wheI
the doctor, for some reason of his own
attempted to dynamite her and the
| child, or is so accused.
While he was awaiting trial some
one supplied Miss Smith with money
and she left the country on the Chine
and passed through here. She was theI
seen at Yokohama after which trace
of her was lost until she was seen herr
again. That she is in one of the Pa
cific ports is beyond doubt.

the district.
This season no difficulty has been ex.
perieneed in dispodng Of the crop, and
a much brisker demand for canned pines
has been ia evidence than ever before.
This is in measure due 20 the intelli.
gent advertising campaign which has
been carried on throughout the United
states, and more particularly to the de.
creased importation of pines from singa-
pore and the bahamas, due to the in.
creased duty on canned products. The
shutting out of the Baltimore pack, due
TO the increased duty on fresh pines
imported from the West Indies, has also
been of material assistance to the local
growers.

gineer; James Lindsay, superintendent.
