WHEN HARVARD HIGHBROWS
 BLOCKED TO A FIST FIGHT

A pugilistic encounter that had the sanction of many of tn professors of Americas oldest university was that pulled off in Boston 31 years ago to- day, Sept. 30, 1887, with Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider" and Johnny Murphy as the principals. Weir, who was the first man to hold the featherweight championship of the world under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, was a native of Belfast, Ireland, and at the time he met Murphy had been fight ing about two years. A few months before he had fought Jack Havlin for so rounds in the woods near Westerly, R. I. Johnny Murphy was native of Boston, although of Hibernian de- scent, and was then instructor in box ing at Harvard University.
 The students and many members of tn faculty swore by Johnny and be- lieved him to be the greatest little scrapper in the world. The arrange ments for the Weir-Murphy battle contemplated a fight to finish with three-ounce gloves. Finish scraps were then drowned upon by the Bos- ton authorities, so the affair was kept
 
 when the sour set for the affair art rived, and included in the audience were many Harvard highbrows and scores of undergraduates The college boys had such faith in their boxing instructor that they manifested a will lingness to bet everything they had or ever hoped to own on the result. It was a case of the old antagonism between town and gown" and the Boston sports who had seen the Spi- der performer covered every dollar put up by the Harvard men. Murphy was one of the gamest men that ever en- tered the ring, and while he was out fought and outgeneraled by the clever Weir, he refused to admit defeat In the seventh round the police got next to the affair. and raided the club house. The possibly animated by fear of what the college boys might do if aroused---called, the bout draw, although it had been plain to all spectators that Ike was the better man. As result of the de- cision and the police interference, the student packers Of Murphy saved their coin. Not long after this fight Tommy Warren, who then claimed to be the featherweight champion Dt America He beat Warren seven ways, but the referee called it a draw. Richard K. Fox, however, con- | sidered Ike the winner. and awarded him the championship belt.

BIFF BANG BOYS MAKE BIG HIT AT
 PARK THEATER
Immense Audience Attends Benefit for Sailors Relief
 Fund Last Night.

If those sailors from Pelham can fight like they can entertain, old Bill Hohenzollern just as we'll kiss his un- wounded sons goodbye right now" was the sentiment expressed by an en- thusiastic Bridgeporter at the final curtain of the Navy Relieg Society benefit at the Park theatre last night. Judging from the versatility display ed by the sailors during the evening their fighting qualities must be on par with their other accomplishments, too.
 The benefit was a whale of suc- cess. Every seat in the house was oc- cupied and the audience was most en- thusiastic in their approval of the sailors efforts. From ''The Star Spangled Banner" played by the snappy sailors orchestra until the final curtain, it was happy occasion for the entertainers and the enter tained.
 The show brought here many stars of the Pelham boys recent Broadway success, Eff, Bang" who contributed several brilliant bits from that pro- duction. In addition there were many former vaudeviliians, now in the naval service, who made up the program of Is numbers. -.
 To single out any particular act as the feature of the bill would be an in- justice to the others. They were all good and made up one of the best evenings entertainments ever seen here. The Pelham orchestra of 30 pieces, under the direction of Band master William Schroeder, centri- buted the music for the program and also furnished a most enjoyable en- semble finale with their jazz spec ialty.
 Previous to the entertainment the sailors were greeted at The Stratfield by Mayor c. B. Wilson and a citizens reception committee. The mayor well comed the sailor boys and invited them to visit the city often.
 The production was staged by Chief Boatswain's Mate Philip Cunning, a former Bridgeport boy, who was a stage director for the Shuberts for several seasons.

Muddy Ruel, who was one of the Yankees catchers until he was draft ed into the army last summer, says that Camp Pike, at Little Rock, Ark, has the best baseball team of any of the training camps, and Muddy ought to know, for he is one of the bright particular stars of the outfit. The fact is that the Camp Pike team is compohed of major and minor league players and has beaten pretty nearly everything in the line of a team that it has encountered. The club is man aged by Joe Slattery, who also covers the first sack. Last season Joe was a member of the Memphis club of the Southern association. Ray Schmandt of the Robins is covering second base, and several pitchers who made good showings in the Southern leagues making up the twirling staff.
