Andrews makes GOOD
With Greensboro TEAM

Jimmy Andrews, the Baltimore, Md,
boy, who last season held down the
hot corner for Dover team has been
making very good showing with the
Greensboro team of the North Caro-
lima league. Andrews figured, in the
Dover-Milford series, and in the
$1,000 game He also played
against numerous local clubs and is
well thought Of by nearly everybody
who has seen him work.
He is but 20 years of age. stands
3 feet 8 inches in height, and tins
the scales at 100 pounds. He is a
consistant hitter. a clever man on the
paths, and possessor of a beautiful
throwing arm. He is overlooking with
that substance they call pep and is
'r H"hi every minute. Jimmy was
first noticed by Umpire Bill MCGOWAN
in the Dover-Milford series. and was
commended by Chick Hartley. the
New York State League star TO the
Greensboro club. Andrews has taken
part in three exhibition games. and
has hit safely four times, and has
as yet to make his first error. Re
Gently in a game with the Boston
Braves the Greensboro Club was
beaten IA to 0 and secured but two
hits, of this number Andrews banged
out one of them. He accepted four
chances without an error. Following
is what the Greensboro Daily News
says Of the hard hitting third sack

BY "BM" MCGOWAN

Jimmy Murphy, the crack local
lightweight. added more fame TO his
pugilistic pride on Monday night at
the Olympic Club, when he easily de-
feated Eddie McAndrews. the hard
hitting Manayunk lad. Murphy and
McAndrews had previously fought a
ten round encounter, and although
the local boy claimed a victory, Phil
adelphia scribes, called il a good
draw. Murphy demonstrated in Mon
day nights scrap that he is the best
1876 pound boy in Philadelphia. His
shifty opponent had been bowling
fighters over at a lively clip, and
Murphy's decisive win, stamps him as
the real goods.
Jimmy wired the writer Immediate

booked to fight AL Ketchell of Bridge

in a fifteen round bout Jimmy also
stated that he would be a visitor to
