FIGHTS NOT SONGS

PETALUMA, Cal, April IL
Billy Murray's real name Is John
Marques. This latest surprise in
the boxing world, assumed the
name of Billy Murray in rather
queer manner. Bill Is a great
lover of music and down on the
old farm" his folks had a phono-
graph, most of the records for
which were songs from the repe-
toire of Billy Murray.
So fond was young Marques of
these songs that he would have
them played time and again and
the folks began to refer to him as
BILLY Murray
When he began boxing he kept
the name.
The story of Murray's debut in
the fight game is also out of the
ordinary. One day a great hulk
of a man who was driving a team
of horses past the Marques fench,
began abusing the horses. Murray
demonstrated with the driver and
the latter attempted to chastize
the youth. What happened to the
driver soon became the talk of the
vicinity, and a small town fight
promoter offered the boy a chance
in the ring.
