That Harlem Tommy Murphy.

flop for Abe Attell in their recent
fight on the coast, then double crossed

ment of Willie Richie in a letter to his
manager, Emil Thirty Richie is about
as clean and square a fellow as they
make them in the boxing line and his
word should go a long way. From the
way the letter reads. Willie knows
whereof he speaks. 1t goes something
like this
Buckley and Murphy sure doubIe-
crossed Attell in their fight here. Buck
ley agreed to have Murphy lose on
foul. Then he wagered a big chunk of
money on Murphy and sent him out to
win. Another man here in San Fran
cisco that I know won thousands on
the fight. Attell. falling for the trick
cry, made one bet of $4,000 on himself.
Most of the boxing blowers here know
about the double-cross and it has done
the game no good. Attell took an aw-
full beating and Buckley and Murphy
got the money"

the Cubs lined up this afternoon against
Mobile and trimmed the Sea .Gulls

of two games
Manager Chance broke into the
game along with the rest of his veteran

either, but takes whale of a hit to
send the ball over it.
The Cubs got nine hits. four of which
were contributed by the firm of Schultz
and Holman working together. In
spite of the diamond, which was soft
from the heavy rains of last week, the
veteran infield got a good workout. In
the outfield the going was equally
heavy on account of the wet sand. but
the gardeners got everything within
reach.

FAST BASKET BALL
GAME PROMISED
Owls of Whiting and Leder-
ers of Hammond to Meet
at East Chicago.

What viii likely be the last and one
of the fastest basketball games of the
season will be played at the East Chi
cago Coliseum rink Thursday night,
when the Dave Iederers and the Whit
ing Owls will line up in their second
struggle.
Because of the rivalry between the
two squads a fast and hard fought
game is expected and if Hammond wins
from the Owls there will be a tie for
championship honors, as Whiting were
the victors in the first game.
Hobart having defeated the Owls a
week ago Saturday night, lay a claim
to the county championship, but the
Lederers of Hammond will not credit
the Hobart squad with this as they
have yet to line up against Hammond.
On several occasions Hammond has
tried to get a game with the Hobart
aggregation. but so far they have re-
fused to give them a date. They are
now trying to arrange a game IL the
Hobart quintet will come across.
