WILDE FORCES
 MURRAY TO QUIT IN 8TH ROUND

Camden, N. J.. April 22-Jimmy Wilde, British fywefght champion, so far outcIassed Battling Murray of Philadelphia, in their eight round bout here last night that Commissioner John S. Smith, of the New Jersey Boxing Commission, stopped the con test in the last round
 Murray had been knocked down three times in the eighth round from short left hooks to the jaw. He was up without taking the count, but was in such a battered condition that a clear knockout appeared certain when Commissioner Smith interfered 30 seconds before the end of the bout. Murrayts face was covered with blood as a result of a nasty gash over the left eye. caused by collision with WdIde's head. His nose was also bleeding freely.
 Murray had the honors in the early rounds. He knocked Wilde down with a left hook to the jaw less than a minute after the fight started. Wilde outboxed Murray at long range in the opening round while the Philadel- phian was trying to slug.
 Wilde began showing his true form in the third round when he speeded up his attack with the result that the round was even. He improved in the fourth and fifth and with the begin ming of the sixth cut loose in cham pionship style. Murray made a rally in the seventh but it did not last long. Both fighters were below the required weight of 116 pounds.

CARPENTER IS
 SORE AT Mccoy
 OVER NEW FILM

New York, Aprda 22.--To say that Georges Carpenter and Francois Des- camps are irritated with Kid Mccoy is putting it mildly. Mccoy now is on the Pacific coast bTavely facing the camera as a movie actor, and it is on record that he never has side stepped the machine nor turned his eyes from the operator. As result of his film activities in the West, there now is being shown in this city and all over the country a picture in which Mccoy is listed as 'ECarpender, the French champion This might not fbe u1rforgiveaibae, but Mccoy, pos ing as Carpentier, is knocked out in the third round every time the film is shown.
 The victor in the bout is labeled the American champion and he bears some resemblance toTDempsey, which lis an added aggravatdon to the F'renchman.
 Carpentier and his manager now are planning to have the name Of the knockout victim changed, and it is said the FHrenchman will challenge Mccoy and his corkscrew punch to l combat unless the film is altered.

 "tEt is impossible for me to say any thing one way or another with regard to Saturdays races, for the reason that our crews because of the back wardness of the season are not nearly as far along in their development as they should be-

At the present time the Phi11fes are setting a fast pace in the National League, and will come here with their regular lineup for the game with the locals.
 Cactus Cravath, who is managing the Phi11ies is very much in the limeIight just because of his pinch hitting ability. Cravath will not play regularly this season, but will act as pinch hitter for the club whenever occasion demands. Tuesday after noon he hit a home run into the Polo grounds right field stands in the capacity of a pinch hitter, which goes to show that "O1d wooden shoes" is still there with the waHop-
