RECORDS BROKEN
IN HOLIDAY RUSH
(By The United Press.)

Washington Dec. 26.-The record
breaking volume of Christmas busi-
ness indicates that there is no "econ-
omic misery" in the United States
and that pessimistc predictions for
a business reaction after the holidays
have no foundation, the department
OF commerce stated today.
Preliminary estimates of business
this Christmas indicate that all pre-
vious records have been broken, the
department stated. Economic con-
ditions as reflected by the holiday
business are fundamentally sound
The department sees the continuance
of good conditions for the new year.

Wilson said he signed the contract
merely to get the $4,000 that was
being held up by the New Jersey
boxing commission. because OF his
cheese fight with Bryan Downey at
the Jersey arena.
The latest is that 16 states have
suspended Mr.. Wilson. Not a great

At Il @ present time about the only
place where Mr.. Wilson can box Is
in his own gymnasium, either with

shadow boxing.
Yes. II certainly looks as IL Mr.

1t is beginning to look as IL Johnny
Wilson would have TO go to work.
Lest you forget Johnny Wilson IS
the technical middleweight champion
of the world.
Since Wilson acquired the middle
weight title he is having more trouble
holding IL than some of the crowned
heads Of Europe
There are a great many experts
who seriously question Wilson's right
10 the title When he won the title
from Mike O'Dowd IL was on hair
line decision that failed to meet with
popular approval.
Since acquiring the title on more
or less of a fiuke victory. Wilson has
been the busiest person in the world
holding on to his tarnlshed crown.
Only through the kindly offices Of
his travelling referee was Wilson
saved in his bout with Bryan Downey
at Cleveland last July.
Hundreds of sportsmen from all
sections of the country are unit
IN saying that Wilson was not mere
ly 'nocked out once, but a couple OF
times.
The odor OF that fight still hangs
over Cleveland. 1t put the boxing
game in bad 1t has never quite re-

world can truthfully say that
Fighting Billy Murray in his time
was the most popular boxer who ever
entertained a crowd OF fans In san
Francisco. Billy's many friends In
Oakland and san Francisco will be
greatly surprised to hear that their
former middleweight pride is almost
broke. Billy numbers his friends
among the sporting fraternity of CAL
ifornia Jimmy Coffroth, the famous
promoter: Harry Smith of the Chron-
icle, Warren Brown of the Call.
Marion Salazar of the Bulletin. Bill
Yeager of the Examiner. Tommy
Laird of the Daily News. Frank Schu-
Ter. Toby Irwin, Bob Shand of the
Oakland Tribune. Merit Smith of the
Oakland Enquirer, Tommy Simpson,
Oakland boSing promoter. and hum
dreds of other California sporting
men too numerous to mention are
among Murray's personal friends.
There is no question that some OF
these men will see that Billy is taken
care of il they know his condition.
The boxing fans of San Francisco
have always been ready to help their
favorites when in sickness and dis
tress and boxing benefits are weekly
occurrences on the coast. I believe
some of the San Francisco sports
men will take some action toward
assisting Murray when they hear
Of his present plight and a boxing
benefit viii be staged in San Fran
cisco to help tide him through his
misfortune.
Murray. lest we forget. fought 10
benefits in San Francisco rings dur
ing the world war and he did not
ask for or receive penny for his
work
Jack Kearns was Murray's man
ager when Billy YVES at the top of
his career and | can say that Billy
earned close to 100000 under Kearns
management. The bulk of his for
tune went through bad Investments.
II believe it ia only fair that the
sporting fraternity of California
should known Murray's true condi-
ton while the once great boxer is
making his last great fight against
the white plague.
II am going to write he Ca1ifor-
MIA papers and tell them of Billy's
condition and / know they will assist
him. Billy Is too proud to ask for
help and he would rather pass out
quietly than admit that he is almost
broke.
Billy was always crowd pleaser
and his thousands or friends will be
grieved to hear of his present con-
dition."

apparently will not stop until some

the catcher. The catcher turned
quickly but could not find It.
Both Runners Scored
"The runners. thinking the catcher
was trying to fox them into coming
home. made no attempt at first to DO
so 1t then became apparent that
the catcher really didn't know where
the ball was. Both runners then
dashed for the plate and scored.

Fighting Billy Murray, one of the
best middleweight boxers in the
world a few years back and con-
tender for the world title. who ar
rived in Phoenix a few months ago in
an effort to regain his health, is a
patient at local sanitarium.
Murray. who earned over 100000
during his boxing career, is now prac-
tically broke. according to Jimmy
Red" Wade, we'll known coast sport
ing man, who is here with Jimmy
Marshall, the Sacramento lightweight
boxer.
Wade stated yesterday that he had
a long talk with Murray and during
their conversation Billy confided to
him that he was near the end of his
bank account. Bad Investments took
the buk Of Murray's fortune and the
former ring star who boxed sixteen
benefit bouts in the city of San
Francisco is today in need of finan-
cial assistance to help tide him over
his sick spell.
Physicians have advised Murray
that if he will remain here for four
or five years, under right conditions,
he has a good chance of beating the
grim reaper in this battle. The one
time great boxer is a victim of the
white plague that has ended the ca
reer of many OF the country's leading
athletes.
Murray in his day was conceded
one of the greatest nliddleweights in
the world. He boxed Les Darcy. the
Australian wonder; Champion JIM
my Clabby, George Chip, Al Mccoy,
Leo Houck and numerous others
Billy beat Al Mccoy two times in
New York when Al held the world
title. The bouts we're staged under
the non decision law. but newspaper
men conceded that Murray outclassed
the champion. Murray was credited
with being the toughest and roughest
middleweight ever developed on the
west coast. He was under the man
agernent Of Jack Kearns, who Is now
handling Champion jack Dempsey.
Murray was too proud to let his
San Francisco friends know his real
financial condition and gave the inn
preston that he was well fixed. Billy
has property on the Pacific coast,
but a heavy mortgage has taken MS
fortune, he admitted yesterday to his
lifelong friend, Red Wade.
Speaking OF Murray's ring career,
Wade gives the following interesting
story: San Francisco. Billys home,
and the city where he fought most
of his ring battles. looked upon hlm
as the greatest middleweight in the

Here's the Rieht Dope

The play was indeed a most pc
culiar one. However. / would say
that the runner on third was en-
titled to score and the runner on
second TO advance to third.
The bah delivered to the batsman
resolved itself into nothing more
than a wild pitch. despite the fact
that the umpire interfered with
possible play on the ball.
The ground rule agreed on was
that all runners were entitled to one
base in addition to the one they were
trying TO make.
Had the two players been pulling
a double steal on the pitch, both
would have been entitled to score.
The fact that both players held
their base for several moments. be-
lieving the catcher was trying TO
trick them, shows they were not run
ming on the pitch. Neither was try
ing 10 make a base, simply holding
their original position.
Had the ball not been stopped by
the umpire it probably would have
gone a considerable distance. How
ever it would have merely been re-
garded as a wild pitch.
The fact that the umpire stopped
Il, aud that it was lodged between
the protector and his body, should
receive no consideration. it was
simply a wild pitch.
