p
second game of the season last Fri
Gay night to the West Philadelphia
Y. NJ. A. The locals were not ut
their best, their shooting at times
being a trihe off color.
The Parkesburg, Pa. team will be
the attraction at Brownson Hall
on Friday night-with red hot pre-
liminary game in the bargain.
Parkesburg needs but little intro
duction to the local fans, as they
have one of the top notch indepen-
dent teams of the East.
Little Danny McNichol, who played
forward for the La Sale college
team in such brilliant manner
against Salesianum is a brother of
McNichol the University of Pennsyl-
vania star, and the son of former
Senator p. McNichol of Philadelphia.
The local fight fans are clamoring
for fight dope these days. Well here
goes. K. o. Harry Baker. the local
middleweight slammer, who several
days ago trimmed the noted Jack
Blackburn. has been rematched with
the Leipervllie champion for a bout
at the Fairmount club of Philadel-
phia tomorrow night. Baker is IN
great shape and hopes to begin his
/ career anew. Should he again de-
feat the boy who in his time met
such men as Terry McGovern, Joe
I Cans and Joe Jennette, he will have
proved that he has the goods. Baker
intends to 90 into the game from
now on with a do or die spirit. His
next opponent most likely will be
Harry Grebb.
Wilmington Jimmy Murphy. the
popular lightweight pugulist has
been coming to the front with much
visor. Jimmy has won his last four
teen fights. and on one occasion he
was held 10 a draw by the veteran
Tommy O'Keefe. Tonight Jimmy is
booked to fight the semi-windup at
Bridgeport, Conn His sparring
partner. Sam Robideau, is billed to
70 fifteen rounds with Gilbert Gal
liant in the main bout
Tomorrow night at the Palace A.
G. of Norristown, Jimmy clashes in

New York's prominent lightweights

lads and then go after such boys as
Willie Houck, Willie Moore and Ed.

Murphy is under the management
of Jack McGuigan. the boss of the
National club of Philadelphia Mana
, ger Jack expects TO make a cham
pion out Of Murphy.
Ralph Raymond, the local light
h weight boxer. who has on numerou
occasions performed in the rope'
arenas of the big city, desires q
return to the game. Raymond ha
q never tasted the bitter sting OF
knockout or has he ever been dc
cisively beaten.
