Fighting Billy Murray
Dies in Tucson After a
Brave Fight With Disease
NV nisnatch A P M,ran

TUCSON, March 4--John Marquis,
better known to the fistic world as
Fighting Billy Murray, died here to-
day at the age of 81 years, victim
of tuberculosis. Marquis has been in
the west for the past four years
fighting the disease. He leaves his
widow and two children.
Murray, as he was better known,
was listed among the best of the
middleweights of his time and his
ring career included 72 battles of
which he lst two. A quirk in the
rulings of the New York boxing law
prevented Murray from being the
holder of the middleweight belt when
he fought Mccoy, then champion.

"Old Man Dope" played the Hump
ty-Dumpty" stunt on the Y. M. c. A
bowlink alleys Thursday night when
the Bank of Douglas team took three
points, with the aid of a 176 handi-
cap, from the c. & A. team. In fact
only the small margin of 13 pins
| kept the bankers FROM winning all
four points. Ballentine rolled the
high score with 2OS in his first
game, and a total of 514, but this
was not sufficient to offset the
large margin which the Smelter
team was forced to give the ''in-
terest- takers
The Detectives and All Stars also
played a hard fought match, al
though the latter team is credited
with a three point victory. Only
six pins separated the first game,
SO the second, and just 2 pins, the
amount of the handicap, separated
the third game. Victory was not
easy.
