# TOMMY MURPHY IS 4 'RUFF-NEGK"
THERE SHOULD Be FEW MORE LIKE HIM

Murphy entered the ring. Before he
was a boxer he worked in a glass fac
tory and was getting the altogether
handsome salary of 50 a week Fear
ing that he might become plutocrat
on such an income Tommy quit the
giassworks and started TO box
His first ring appearance earned MIN
SO. but he had to knock out three
opponents to get this much money But
even that paltry sum was as much as
he could wheedle out of the glass
works proprietor
Money He Has Made.
The So ne earned that night decided
Harlem Tommy's fate. He resigned his
unenviable 50 a week job at the glass
factory and took to the gloves. Med
ding neighbors told the Murphy folks
that Tommy was headed straight for
gehenna The Murphys, an independ-
ent tribe, told the meddlesome ones TO
slide to gehenna themselves and let
Tommy alone.
Since earning that SO in the ring
Tommy has lifted another S29. 907 from
the same source. and by careful real
estate speculation has added another
$4,000 or $4,000 to his bank roll NOT
so bad for a boy who was earning the
extravagant salary Of SO week
When Murphy started TO box he was
a little bit of a lad He boxed IN the
bantamweight division. and he once
bixed frankie Neil for the bantam
weight title. He has grown some
since
Tommy has been forced to give away
weight in nearly every bout mes ever
engaged in, as he can do $50 easily

BY LEWIS ARMS.

WYE are learning constantly.
w Physical culturists about the

ing so much as that the human AMI
NAL to be healthful and physically
clean must live moderately He must
eat moderately; he must drink moder-
ately He must have plenty of sun
shine and fresh air and must battle
often.
Physically as race. we are i'm
proving. Broadly speaking we are
living better II e are eating better
and we are sleeping better.
Each one should make a study Of his
own self. What may be good for Bill
Jones may hurt YOU What may cure
Bill JOnes's headache, may make yours
only worse
We should study our own selves and
after a fashion prescribe our own
treatment. Each day there should be
some little thing IN our routine which
would give us the consciousness or nav
ing done something TO enhance our
physical self.
This may manifest itself in the form
OF a brisk walk to the office, a round

Jimmy Is doing the mOnOlOgue and gets
away with It
Billy Papke is all in down and out
as a fighter He is going back to the
farm at Kewanee-
There is a fast little battle sched-
uled tonight at kenOsha, Wis. It is
to be between Packey Mcfarland and
Kid Burns and the bout will go ten
rounds.
It viii be recalled that when they
met recently in New York that Kid
Burns gave it to Packey" the blue
eye" which was one of the first that
Packey ever got in all his ring ex-
perience. Mcfarland also battered his
hands so badly against the aggressive
youngster that he was forced to call
off a scheduled fight two days after
at Philadelphia
The battle tonight should be a
cOrker as Packey has a way Of re-
membering those who do him and
Burns having gotten along so splend-
idly last time viii no doubt take a
longer chance tonight
