SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IT,
When Harlem Tommy Murphy
faces ex-Champion Ad Wolgast in

noon of February % he will have
realized the ambition of lifetime

upon Murphy decisively beating
Wolgast. That Murphy has a
chance of doing this is the opin-
ion of a great many and the con-
crete belief of the Harlemite, who
has put up a number of wonder
full fights in California. Strong
and game, Murphy has surprised
even his own manager by the far
different fights he makes IN Calf
fornia as compared with those
he has engaged in in the east.
A number of boys have bested
him in the 10-round New York
bouts, but in every 20-round con-
test that he has participated in
in California he has shown a re-
marable reversal of form. Even
the mighty Packey Mcfarland
was forced to extend himself to
the limit to avoid defeat at the
hands of Murphy when they met
in San Francisco on Thanksgiving
day, 1911. Although easily out
pointed in the fore part of the
fight, Murphy came with a rush
in the latter half and while the
decision went against him, he was
far the fresher at the finish, and
had the battle gone a few ronds
farther he looked to have a
mighty good chance to srore
Knockout.
Murphy attributes his good
showing in California to the elm
ate. He finds that he can train
properly here and that fighting
out of doors makes 1t far easier
for him to go at top speed for
20 rounds and pull up fresh.

Murphy and Wolgast have met
once, fighting a six-round no de-
cision contest in Pittsburg about
three years ago. Murphy has al
ways claimed that he had the bet

long route is confident that he is

this week, when the bill comes up

High School Notes
BY OLIN GRAHAM

The Stadium High school bas-
ket ball team defeated Whitworth
college last Saturday night on
the latter's floor by a score OF
40 to 90. The game was fast
and furious despite the one
sided score. Crane and Pike
were the stars of the game. The
second team also annexed a VIC
tory from the Whitworth seconds
by a score of to 16.
The Falkland Lutheran acad-
envy plays the Stadium first team
tonight at the high school gym.
A strong game is expected as
both teams were defeated by the
Falkland A. c. by practically the
same score.
Friday afternoon the team
leaves for Everett, where they
play the high school Friday
night. The team will stay over,
returning Saturday morning.
Each afternoon, the weather
permitting, the cross country
runners may be seen diligently at
WORK training for the cross
country runs, an annual event,
which will be held in the near
future at right ark.

Captain Adrian C. Arson, the
worlds greatest hitter, is in Ia
coma this week. Capt. Arson is
a strong friend of Joe McGin-
nifty and is predicting that Ia
coma will not only be on the
baseball map but will win the
penant this year. Capt. Ansen
is given a credit for making base
ball the game it is and he is al
ways given a royal welcome
wherever he goes. Arson was
the greatest hitter that the game
ever turned out and his high
marx is one that will remain for
many, many years. In the season
of 1887 his batting average was
.421.
Capt. Ansen is also a great golf
player.

For while 1t looked as
though track WORK was not going

The Rhode Island Reds do not

In the eastern part of the United

The use of any breed on such farms
should be good witness of It's utility.
The tabulation of the breeds used on

White Wyandottes occupy first
place, being used on about twice Oh

Single-comb White Leghorns, Barred
