CHIP IS FAv0RITE
CalifOrnians Give Odds Against
"Fighting" Billy Murray.
Bout Staged as Championship
Middleweight Contest.

San Francisco. July odds Of 10 to
81 that George Chip. the Pennsylvania
middleweight, would defeat Fighting"
Billy Murray of California prevailed for
the 2O-rcund fight here this afternoon.
The men were scheduled to enter the
ring at z:45.
Betting on this contest has overturn-
ed San Francisco's traditional practice
of supporting a local man against a
newcomer, where the match is fairly
even. The sporting writer's point out
that a study OF the records of Chip and
Murray does not justify the prohibitive
odds quoted on the fastener.
AS fight time approaches, the con-
fidence in George Chip to lower the
colors of Fighting Billy Murray in the
Daily City ring seems to grow in the
estimation OF the fans.
The stage is set and everything is in
readiness for the great 2O-round go.
Promoter Jim Coffroth has billed it
as the middleweight championship
classic, and as Coffroth has long been
looked upon as the authority for af-
fairs pugilistic, nobody has yet seen
fit to question his judgment, so it is
taken as \ bona fide blue ribbon con-
test.

/.HE WILL PLOW, NOT l."
Man Who Harnessed First Wife with
Mules Now Waits on No. 2.

LATE Choate, the man who hitched
his wife to a pillow with two mules and
plowed with her in the fields three
years ago. has taken a second wife
and there's another story.
Choate sot married again last week.
Miss Bessie Evans of Kansas City be-
ing his bride. At the time Judge
John Steep warned Miss Evans of
Choate's character.
"Oh, 1 know all about him." she re-
piled IF there's any blowing to be
done he'll do it,"
She apparently has made her
threat good. Choate, the terrible. Is
waiting on his wife as a courtier waits
on q queen. the neighbors say.
Perhaps the reason is that his bride
weighs 200 pounds. Choate was near
~ lynched by the farmers Of Clay
county three years ago, and the fright
also may have tanned his disposition.
A divorce followed his prosecution
and term of ten days in Jail at that
time.-Liberty (Mo.) Dispatch to the
