ed in a letter to Bill McGowan, who was Murphy's first manager.
 AS the Spanish influenza ban has not yet been lifted in Lowell, Mass, the bout between Sam Langford and Battling Jim Johnson, which was scheduled for the Crescent A. c. last night was postponed until next week. Johnson is doing his training in Lowell and expects to remain there until the contest is decided.
 The monster benefit boxing show scheduled for the Hunts Point Pal ace in The Bronx will be held on Oct. 31 Willie Beescher and Young Fulton will meet in one of the fea- tuTe bouts. Many men stationad at Pelham Bay, for whose benefit the contests will be held, will take part in the events.
 Football will emerge from its, eclipse this week if all goes well and Spanish influenza ceases its ravages. The War department ban on s. A. T. c. games will not be lifted until a week from Saturday, but it is certain that nearly every eleven in the east will get into ac-l tion on the coming Saturday.
 Boston, the city of beans and brains. has almost completely recov-' cred from it's attack of Spanish ''hoo'' i and is feeling so skittish once more that it will resume the boxing activ ities at the various clubs.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TREND OF MARKET DOWNWARD. 1

REND UT MARINE DOWN WARD.
 New York, Oct. 29.-The trend of to- days stock market was downward in the main on a pronounced contraction of dealings both as to volume of trad ing and number of issues traded in.
 Various reasons were assigned for the change from the activity of the previous session, principal of which were the further calling of bank loans and uncertainty regarding the divi- dend on U. s. Steel, which proved well founded.
 Steel was under the closest scrutiny for some hint of action of the direc- tors, it's early heaviness contributing largely to the backwardness of the general list The stock closed at 10S, a loss of half a point after recording an extreme reversal of 1 1-2 points. Announcement of the cut in the Steel extra" dividend from to per cent. was not made known until after the close of the market, when the quar- tery. report, showing earnings some eight millions under the previous quarter, also was issued.
 Foremost among the heavy stocks was Mexican Petroleum, which broke IS points, none of which was recov- cred It is understood that officials Ol llo SIOCh tNCHdllSe COhlSiIpAe'IC ehC tion to check undue activity in that stock.
 Other oils, tobaccos, equipments and specialties were included among the reactionary issues at declines of ? to ' points. but rails, while irregular developed no marked heaviness, be- ing sustained by further accumulation of Southern Pacific and coalers. Ship pings mad metals were relatively firm with moderate reactions at the end Sales were 550000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, Liberty issues | showing general frmness on increased activity. Total sales, par value, az gregated $7,575, 900.

BOXERS MAKE BEST BAYONET FIGHTERS

work and formed officers boxing classes. Calisthenics became rather dull after a few months of it and we took a chance by putting some boxing gloves into circulation. Oh. boy! how those soldiers hustled to get them on their hands. They were daffy to show what they coul do. must have boxed a hundred rounds a day regularly, but l liked the hard work. t
 The. next problem was to find a place in which to hold the boxing shows. The Y. M. c. A., the K. of C., and the Jewish Welfare Board came to our rescue and granted us permission to string rings in their huts and this manner regular shows were held in the huts after moons and evenings And what &C., tion Wow they kept mauling each other to their hearts content Three exhibitions a day put them in fine fetle.
 Officers Enthusiastic
 Major Thomas of Major General J. Franklin Bells staff, and Gen. erals Hays and Thompson became red hot boxing enthusiasts. Major , Thomas put on the gloves frequent ly. Generals Hays and Thompson said they wished they had ten Benny LeonaTds in France to teach the thousands of soldiers there to box. thus fitting them>for open war fare.
 In the preliminary work I made the soldiers dance around, using the left jab exclusively. The left jab is duplicate of the long point with the bayonet The uppercut is the short point and the right and left hooks correspond to the slash ing blows delivered from either side with the bayonet. Boxing gained it's great popularity because it S the nearest approach to serafing the Hun that the boys can get before they reach the battlefield.
 In the Y. M. c. A. huts, as we'll as those of the K. of C., and the Jewish Welfare Board, boxing les sons are given in the morning and the big shows are held in the after noon and evening. These organiza- cations, as we'll as the War Camp Community Service and the Saliva tion Army have co-operated with us and treated us splendidly.

Prospects are bright for q good basketball team at the PIainfield High school for the coming season. Under the leadership of Captain Andy Smith, who has played on the team for three seasons it is expected that the local boys will again land the championship of the Quinnebaus Val ley League.

 MONEY FOR WAR HOME

Chicago, Oct 29.-Prospects of a worlds series in 1919, with the pro- ceeds above actual expenses being de- voted to the erection of a permanent home for the soldiers and sailors who come back from the war so seriously crippled that they cannot be restored, were msde public to- day in a plan sponsored. by Ban Johnson, president of the American league. The plan if adopted must first receive the approval of the gov ernment and if adopted, the govern ment will be asked to handle all funds and manage the home.

 Instructor at Camp Upton.)
 | have taught boxing to 10000 sol diers in training at Camp Upton, most of them men who never saw a boxing glove, let alone pulling one on. They learned how to jab with the left, counter with the right, step out of a clinch, hit and get away and some other tricks of the Marquis of Queensbury art. Believe me it did n't take long to get them acquainted with these tricks. In just eleven months there were 40,000 more boys who could use their fists as result of having taken military training at Yaphank.
 It is generally admitted that the man who knows a few boxing tricks become great bayonet fighter. Using the bayonet then comes natu- rally to the fighting man. A lot of my pupils are giving good accounts of themselves in trodding the Huns

''Tamines." he says, sis a little

the coal fields between Namur anu

yard beside the church there are
hundreds of new-made graves iohS
rows OF them, each with IT'S snlaIA

The crosses stand in serried rows SO
closely that they make very thicket
with scarcely room to walk between
them. They are all new, of painted
