Harlem Tommy Murphy. whose yea,
number almost as many as the differ
ent varieties OF pickles put up by NJ
Heinz, wants to fight again. After VII
! iting a Broadway toupee maker al
/ buying one of those "take me hon
for $3.9s" sets of china teeth Tomm
has decided to emigrate to San Frar
cisco and begin his pugilistic cares
all over again.
For the last few weeks Tommy hs
been wiring to various promoters
California in an effort to get 0
matches in the four round game on til
I Coast. Tommy evidently figures thu
after cleaning up half dozen Coa'
pugs he will be able to jump back t
the East and challenge Benny Leona,
for the lightweight title. The funn
part of it is that the Californans loo
with favor on Murphy's threatened 10
vasion of their state and are ready I
extend the hand Of welcome.
