Jimmy Murphy. Kid Thomas, feather
weight champion of France; George
Ash, and frankie Conway The latter
has fought Kid Williams and George
CLANCY.
LOTUS has much faith in Murphy,
as was pointed out in these columns
recently. Johnny instructs the fast
rising Murphy in the art of proper
training. He demonstrates the vari-
Gus blows, and can generally be seen
in Jimmy's corner when meeting a
tough man.
Murphy left Wilmington last No
vember to make his home with
Charley Swinehart in West Philadel-
phia. Since that time he has engag-
ed in eight fights, which are as FOL-
lows:
Nov. 17-Murphy won over Eddie
McAndrews, Norristown, ten rounds
Nov. 2S-Murphy won over Jim
Jarvis, Philadelphia, six rounds.
Dec. 12-Murphy won over Johnny

4 fights in his record book that shows
| Murphy to have gone to the post 10i
/ times with one defeat against him
Local followers of Murphy are pull
ing hard for Jimmy to beat Moy, and
it is hoped that he will soon be able
to meet the best men in the light
weight class.

BY BILL MCGOWAN.

There are but few men in the pug
ilistic game today, who can boast Of
a more enviable record than Whining
ton Jimmy Murphy, the fast rising
lightweight. Murphy has defeated
nearly every second class lightweight
in and around Philadelphia. The fact
that he has fought 105 fights, winning
or coming out even in all but one en-
gagement. Danny Ferguson, the rug
ged Philadelphia lightweight manag-
ed to shade Murphy in six rounds at
Chester, Pa. about two years ago.
Since that time Murphy has fought
Ferguson two ten-rOund encounters
at Norristown and reversed the YER
dict by a wide margin on both occa-
sions.
At the Palace A. c., Norrlstown, to-
night Jimmy is carded to meet Eddie
Moy, the crack Allentown lightweight
who recently fought champion john
ny Kilbane, of the featherweight di-
vision a six round draw. Kilbane
has also a X. o. to his record over
Moy. Moy has a reputation of being
very clever lad, with only fair
punching prowess. He has fought
some of the best men in the light
weight class, including Johnny Dun
dee, White, Cortez and numerous
other lightweight aspirants.
Murphy has been training earnest
ly the past week and is backing on
outflghting Moy from the first tap oi
the gong until the final round. Muir
phy was in town on Saturday for Z
few hours with his manager Charlie,
Swinehart, who has handled some
mighty good boys in his time. Th'
latter gentleman stated to the writel
that il was a safe bet that Jimmy
would earn a draw, but what we want
is a win over this fellow Moy. Their

A few Of Murphy's admirers on
Saturday were of the opinion that the
local boy had picked out wise man.

boy defeat Moy tonight, he will be In
demand in the City Of Brotherly Love
but he would continue TO nurse jim
my along for another year before
meeting such men as Shugrue, White

II is not the desire of the Murphy
camp to use the "get rich quick

been ruined by following that plan.

BAN This Year ON
BARGAIN BIC LEAGUE Games

Baseball fans this year will have to
be content with one game for one ad-
mission on the big holidays, so far as
the National league is concerned. The
magnates at their annual meeting
adopted a rule to this effect and decid-
ed to enforce it rigidly.
Chicago and one or two other cities
have been in the habit of changing
the schedule on Decoration day, July
and Labor day, and playing a dou-
ble-header in the morning and re-
naming idle in the afternoon, or vice
versa.
This practice must end and one
game will be played in the morning
and another in the afternoon Of these
holidays. In case of rain in the fore
noon the postponement will be played
of on some future date.

This is untrue. Eden has defeated some

BY a United Press staff Correspondent.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March o.
whoa Bill" Phillips, the taciturn
leader of the two-time champions of
the Federal League, Is going to lead
about the same crew into the 1915
pennant fight. The Hoosiers were
easily the class of the baby major
league last season and Bill can't see
where his club needs a whole lot of
bolstering. One thing nc needs, and
he freely admits it, is another good
pitcher, one who can be depended on
TO win half his games or a little over.
This man must essentially be a south
paw, too, as the Hoosiers we're slight
ly weak in that species last season.
One other thing is worrying the Of
ficials more than they will admit
That is the fact that Vim Campbell,
formerly with Pittsburgh and Boston
and Outfielder extraordinary, has not
yet attached his signature to 1915
contract. Neither has Bill Nc
Kechnie, the snappy little third base
man. The absence of these two
would leave Phillips in a pretty bad
hole. Both are holding out for more
money, il is said, which the club Of
ficials have as yet refused to meet.
However, Phillips is fairly confident
they will come to terms before the
umpiTes shout "Play ball"
With these two back in line. Phil
lips is planning 10 stand pat, with
possibly one exception. That is first
base. Charley Carr, the veteran who
played the bag last year, succumbed
to old age during the winter months
and gave up the job. Phillips is
grooming his sensational little out
fielder, Ed Rousch, for the job, and
the youngster looks like a conner. He
is fast on his feet, good hitter and a
streak on the bases. Bill kept him
on the bench most of last season and
when he did let him get into the game
as a regular, towards the latter part
of the season, he clouted the ball for
an average of $40 and fielded like a
fiend. There is one other candidate
| for the bag, Hap HUM, recruit. Also
there is a possibility that should
Campbell not come to terms, leaving
hole in the outleld, Phillips may
secure Joe Agler. of Buffalo, OF
Hugh Bradley, of Pittsburgh, to cover
the bag, putting Rousch back in the
field. Chase has crowded Agler out
at Buffalo and Ed Honey has done
the same thing to Bradley at Pitts
burgh.
Evening journal., 1915-03-09

Phillips is banking to a large extent
on his batting strength to carry him
through the rough places this season.
There wasn't a team in the league
last year that could come near the
Hoosiers in batting. Six regulars
swatted the ball for better than 300.
In Kauff, the 1914 sensation, Camp
bell, Rousch and McKechnie, Phillips
had four of the best base runners in
Gilmore's circuit.
Falkenberg, Mosely, Kaiserling, Bill
lizard, Mullin and several youngsters
comprise the hurting department.
The first three are dependable men.
Billiard is erratic, pitching in and out
ball last year, and Mullin is in the

veteran class. However, Bill has a
faculty of developing youngsters and
it would not be surprising to see him
pick few young phenoms out of his
usual lot when the season gets under
way.
Frank Laporte will be seen back at
second, as will Jimmie Esmond at
short. McKechnie, it is presumed,
will go back TO third
In the receiving department Phil
lips is well fortified with Bill Rariden
and Warren, a youngster OF promise.
Rariden, aside from a slight batting
weakness, is one of the best receivers
in the business. He has few peers
at fielding his position.
For the outfield, Phillips has Kauff,
Scheer, Rousch. Kaiser, a rookie or
two. and Campbell, possibly Should
Vim sign, the outfield will be COM
posed of he, in center; Kauff in right,
and Scheer or Rousch in left.
Fans here are confidently expecting
to see the Hoosiers repeat this season
They are solidly behind Phillips and
his club.
Members of the 1914 team not re-
quested to report were Everett Booze,
outfelder; Carl Vandagrift, infielder;
Bill Warren, catcher; Bert Radfeld,
pitcher, and Infelder Potter, a re-

CAMERA MEN IN DANGER

Amateur photographers at the seaside or even
IN London and other big cities must be more
careful than ever how they take snapshots during
wartime for thoughtless use OF their cameras
may easily cause them to find themselves in
prison for a few days, to say the least, Pearsons

In the early days OF the war, for instance. a
perfectly innocent Hull ship chandler. on a holi-
day I'm London, with his wife, was arrested by
the police for taking photographs OF Battersea
bridge After being detained the best part OF
the day, during which inquiries we're made, tho
authorities we're satisfied that he was merely a
harmless snapshotter, but nevertheless they
warned him to keep his camera out OF use until
the war Is over
