MURPHY EASY VICTOR OVER

Boston Lightweight Gains Long Lead Over Bohemian
in Ten Rounds at Gary

Eddie Murphy of Boston outpointed
George Memsic a proverbial city block
over the ten-round route in the windup
of the Shamrock A. C's bout in Gary
last night. The Boston lightweight
made the Bohemian look like novice
by his clever footwork. and Memsic's
only chance for the decision was the
hope for a knockout.

due to wrangle between the respective
managers of the fighters when Memsic
weighed in at 140 pounds. Murphy
weight was announced as 1874
Murphy carried the fight to the Be-
hemian in the opening round, making
the latter miss repeatedly by his clever
footwork. The Boston boys superior
footwork began to assert itself in the
second when he found Memsic's face at
will with straight left jab which

Four seconds before the close of the
round Memsic slipped and was on the
canvas when the gong rang.
The third was fairly even and Mem
sic began to find his man in the fourth.
Here George ripped in a succession OF
body punches which stung his foe. The
fifth round proved a hummer. Both
boys. thoroughly warmed up, showed q

KID MCCOY
WINS AGAIN

New York, Oct kid Mccoy went
up another rung on his come back"
ladder last night at Browns gymna-
stu mwhen he knocked out Jim Saw
age in the fourth round of their sched-
uled ten round bout. The Kid showed
traces of his old time championship
form and completely outclassed his OPP
ponent. He scored three knockdowns
and was master of Savage from begin
ming to end.
X 1t was McCoys third victory since
he started to come back and his adj
mirers claim last nights victory dem
onstrates that he now classes with the
best heavyweights in the country.
During the bout the Kid used his ia
NOUS corkscrew effectively and before
the first round was over he had Saw
age in a dazed condition and bleeding
profuseiy from the left eye. When he
was not using the corkscrew he used a
left hook that landed fairly and square,
ly on Savage's head, body and face.

Silk O'Laughlin. the silver-tongued
arbitrator, will offciate as the Ameri-
can league half of the umpire staff in
the city series between White Sox and
Cubs next week. That announcement
was made yesterday by President John
son of the American league on his re-
turn from the meeting of the national
commission in New York.
If that meeting had lasted a couple
of hours longer all the details of the
Chicago series could have been attend
ed to Immediately. 1t was the intent
of the two local magnates to get to-
gether in time to notify the commits
sioners of the fact. but during the con-
ference between Presidents Comiskey
and Murphy they learned that Presi-
dent Johnson had left for Chicago.
Consequently 1t was necessary to adopt
slower methods and written notifica-
tion of the Chicago series was sent to
commission headquarters in Cincinnati
where 1t awaits the return of Chairman
Hermann from New York.

WHITING AFTER
GROWN POINT

The following letter was received to-
day by the sporting editor of THE
TIMES from the manager of the Whit
ing ball team:
In behalf as manager of the Whit
ing, Ind, team, fans are willing to ac-
cept Crown Points offer to play three
game series for a $500 side bet. / will
be waiting for Keiser's answer from
Crown Point
Crown Point has been awarded the
pennant of the Northern Indiana league
after poor race. Crown Point has al
ways showed their yellow flag against
Whiting and I stilf do not believe they
can call themselves champions until
they at least finish the league schedule
with Whiting. They have not won
game from Whiting this year and only
once came close after they tried TO
bring in prairie ball rules after they
were supposed to be playing for a
league pennant. Not enough, they want
to close the league after they have the
pennant at the present only. Crown
Point have always shown themselves
poor sports. They showed it a num-
Der of times and especially of late.
Manager Keiser showed his colors the
last two weeks. Now he says close
the league, but at meeting held on
Sept. 81 at Hammond he was not so
willing to close, he being the first one
to say to extend the season a week so
as TO let some of the clubs get all
! their games played Now he has

SHAME ON THE REDS.

Richmond, Ind, Oct THE Gin
cinnati Reds played an exhibition
game here yesterday, defeating
Richmond's Eastern Indiana Sunday
league championship team, 20 to 8.
The Reds had on their kidding"
clothes, and Red Ireton. a boy who
wears a uniform at all games, but
who has never been in a contest
with the locals, was signed" by
Hoblitzel. Red went to first and
the big crowd had much enjoyment
at the boys expense. When he
went to bat in the eighth, lined out
a single. stole second and third and
then scored on a single by Bates,
his pride knew no bounds. Red
seems to think he will be regular
next year when the Cincinnati sea-
son opens.
