INSURANCE is his speciality, but
L boxing is his hobby. He thrived
In the ring at a time when the
lightweight division contained the
greatest, toughest fighters in modern
/flstiana. His name is Tommy Muir
ply, name that stands out promi-
nently In the history Of New York
boxing.
Terry McGovern and Joe Bern
stein pre-dated them. but it was
Harlem Tommy Murphy and Leach
Cross who inaugurated racial ring
rivalry in Pop Knick's domain. They
fought three times and so exciting
were those contests that whenever
Leach and Murphy gather in the
lobby of the Madison Square Garden
on fight nights, and that is quite fire.
quently, the old timers refght their
contests for them.
Until two years ago Murphy was
on the physical instruction staff Of
Fordham University, where he had
charge of the boxing team, but when
boxing was eliminated Tommy took
up insurance, which. with his work
as instructor of boxing at the Cres-
cent Athletic Club Of Brooklyn and
the Elks' Club. net him a fine in
come In addition, Murphy still
possesses real estate which he
bought when he was a ring head
liner, and, as Tommy puts it,
They'll never have to get up ben
eft for me-
Harlem Tommy. as he is called by
a legion Of admirers, is Al years old,
but doesn't look the part. He keeps
himself in perfect physical condition
and that accounts for his youthful
appearance His pompadoured head
of hair has turned gray, but other
wise he is as active as ever.
He is one of the few former fight
ers who have made a success in
business. He is comfortably fixed
and the happy father of 19-year-
old daughter, whom he adores.

The Hardest Game.

THERE will at least be no harder
i game on Saturday than the COLI
sion between Colgate and N Y. U.
Here are two of the strong teams of
the country. well supplied with man
power, and both well coached. Colgate
seems to be favored with fast, varied
attack, but there is almost no choice.
for N. Y. U. is a hard team to move
against for any consistent drive. There
is good chance now for a soft field,
and in this case both teams will have
trouble ramming the ball across.
There will be large number OF i'm
pactS on Saturday and at least three
contests will carry their full share
Colgate-N. Y. u, Purdue-Northwestern
and Stanford-Southern California.
These are three of the high-tension
meetings There will also be some robust
action when Fordhams powerful outfit
mixes with Michigan State. The latter
team has two star backs to throw
against Fordhams stout defense. The
same thing applies to the crash between
Kentucky and'V P. l. and the Tulane
Auburn party, all four of these COM
petitors being among the unbeaten up
to date. All in all, this next Saturday
will be one of the most interesting of
the year.

The Casey Method.
1HE public's average mental pic
ture of a foot ball coach in
cludes among other things, ele-
ments that involve the volcanic
and the dynamic. One favorite picture
is the coach's final outburst Of elcquence
in keying up his team to point where
losing a spinal column or neck Is sup
posed to be a rare privilege.
This custom hasn't faded out. but at
least it has begun to wane. There is,
for example. the case of Eddie Casey CT
Harvard. In talking to Casey you never
think of the immortal lines concerning
his famous namesake, viz:
The smile is gone from Casey
face, his teeth are clenched with hate
or even "one scornful look from
Casey and the multitude Is awed.
Casey of Harvard does not clench his
teeth with hate nor indulge in any
scornful looks.
I recall a year ago, on the morning
of the Harvard Army game, taking a
long walk in the country with the same
Eddie.
Are you going to talk to your team?"
I asked.
No" he said, I'm going to leave
them alone. They are keen enough as
it is
Eddie Caseys system is to give his
squad all the necessary fundamentals

A TLANTA, october 20-The
~ strongest Virginia Poly eleven
~ since the Blackburg coaching
days of Andy Gustafsop will
resist Kentucky's bid for its fifth
Southern Conference triumph Saturday.
Hopes for Dixie gridiron honors have
never flown higher at v. P. ]. than now.
The Gobblers have won four games
against creditable opposition and have
shown power, speed and alertness.
Virginia Poly revealed a heavy and
fast team in its victories over Georgia,
Maryland and William and Mary.
Kentucky has been at least luke
warm contender for Southern laurels for
several years and the Wildcats. likewise,
are making one Of their strongest bids
this season.
The Lexington eleven has defeated
Virginia Military. Sewanee, Georgia
Tech and Washington and Lee. 1t has
shown some hard-running backs, a
clever passing attack and one of the
South's best punters in Ralph Kerche-
val.
" P. I. may be able to match Ken
tucky's line strength and the Gobbler
runners may be as fast and versatile
as those Of the Wildcats, but the Poly
team hardly can offer such kicking
ability as Kentucky possesses.
VITORK on plays and formations has
w been temporarily halted at Knox
vile and Maj. Bob Neyland has
ordered another course in funda-
mentals. tackling. blocking and charg-
ing for his Tennessee volunteers.
Tennessee has a "breather" Saturday
another week of polishing before 1t
faces Duke.
No let down is evident at the Ala
bama camp, following the Crimson's de-
feat Saturday, and Coach Frank
Thomas team hopes to finish its hard
schedule without another setback. Ala
bama looks for little trouble from Mis-
sissippi this week.
GEORGIA TECH and North Carolina
" hope to break their tie two years
ago at Chapel Hill Saturday. Their
1880 game ended to and last season
they played to 19-to-l9 deadlock.
Both teams have lost two conference
games On paper it figures a great
battle.
Duke hopes to bring halt to Wake
Forests giant killing tomorrow Wake
Forest tied both North Carolina and
North Carolina State to O and beat

In any event, Caseys Harvard teams,
since he took charge, have won nine
games and dropped one, the only de-
feat being a field goad decision. In the
next few weeks Casey's Harvard team
faces Dartmouth, Brown. Army Holy
Cross and Yale. And Eddie Casey will
point his team for each game as it

Princeton. All five of these are old

onewho knows anything at all about
these matters can see how ridiculous

doctor.
Unable to Identify.
When the case first came up in
police court, May Brown testified
that it was so dark at the time Of
the attack that she couldn't identify
anybody. In the intervening time
between the police court hearing and
the jury trial the men had been kept
in the county Jail When May Brown
was taken there to view the lineup
of prisoners for identification, she
left the room the first time without
being able to identify anybody. Three
prisoners, who testified at the trial,
heard the cop, Roy Clinton, tell her
that Oscar Biven was the man in
the Coca Cola cap and give her the
means of identifying Andrew Will
cox. She went back to the lineup
and Immediately identified the two
men.
At the trial May Brown only said
that Andrew Wilcox attacked her
while Willard Prince, the white man,
said that both men attacked her al
though at first he said that he had
been run off" by Biven and had
spent long time trying to find the

1t is on the above frame-up and
perjured evidence that these two
men were sentenced to the electric
chair by a Negotiating white jury
So clear was the frame-up that the
Judge was forced to tell the defense
attorneys that if the case comes up
before him on appeal for a new trial
he will grant it.

them around in a car until after l
o'clock in the morning and then

them booked for "late hours"
Fishy Story.
Last March May Brown and Mil
lard Prince, both white, claimed they
were going home at 8 o'clock on a
Sunday morning. They said they
we're coming from the home of a
friend, where they had gone to at
tend a party, but the party didn't
take place on account of sickness in
the house. Yet they didn't leave this
house until O'Clock in the morning.
They claim that as they we're coming
through the Negro neighborhood at
23rd st. and Rossville Boulevard
two Negroes attacked them, one of
them dragging the white woman
down the hill and the other running
the white man off.
Negro witnesses, among them a
reputable old woman, testified that
they were Wakened by the sounds of
drunken fight and saw this white
man beating up the white woman
and heard them Shouting and cursing
at one another. Chattanooga is a
town in which any worker, especially
Negro, walking on the street after
10 o'clock at night is liable to be
sent to the chain gang for ''late
hours" proving or lettering"
Yet these white people walked
through the Negro neighborhood
fighting and shouting at 8 o'clock
in the morning, when so-called re-
spectacle people are home asleep.
Cop Fixed Story.
Roy Clinton, the cop who fixed the
frame-up, got the assistance of an
ex-sweetheart of Bivens, who at the
time was going with another girl, to
give testimony against him. This
girl was jealous of Bivens and in a
fight with his new sweetheart had
threatened to "get" both of them.
She testified to his general bad
character and said he had raped"
her while they were sweethearts.
A white doctor from the Erlanger
city hospital testified he had per-

ment authorizing the state govern
ment to distribute in whole or in part
among the political subdivisions Of
the state taxes collected by it." An
amendment of this kind actually
places the entire funds collected from
taxes at the disposal Of the state poll
teal machine which viii have the
full power to make distributions as
they see fit.
Delegation TO Harrisburg
These points show clearly that 1t
is not the aim Of the general assembly
to appropriate any money for unenl-
ployment relief.
The workers of Philadelphia and
other parts Of Pennsylvania, led by
the Unemployed Councils, are sending
mass delegation to Harrisburg re-
presenting every industrial city III the

ployed, a program which calls for

Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
According to an official announce
ment made in an effort to forestall
unfavorable" comment, Dawes adj
mitted that of the total sum obtained
to save the bank, $1O,00O,O00 came
from a group of Chicago bankers,
$5,00O,00O was pledged by several New
York financiers, and the balance
$80,O00,0O0 came from the Finance
Corporation.
Incidentally, in the fall Of 1929,
there were 225 banks in Chicago. At
the present time there are about 60,
with a number Of them on the brink
of failure.
Huge Steal.
The huge contribution to Dawes
bank by his friends in the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation is in
line with its aims and policy to turn
over the two billion dollars appro-
priated to the railroads and banks.
One instance recently revealed the
fact that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road received a large sum from the
Corporation which went directly to
pay off indebtedness on bond issue
due to j. P. Morgan and the Guar
antee Trust Co. In fact SO raw was
this transaction that the Interstate
Commerce Commission was forced to
make a gesture of protest"
Dawes An Old Hand.
This is not the first bank scandal
that Dawes, former ambassador to
Great Britain and ex-vice-president
of the U. S. has been involved in.
Several years ago he got into a
slimey mess by helping his friend
Lorimer in Chicago swindle his de-
positors. This affair has become
known historically as the "Lorimer
Scandal"
At time when the banks and rail-
roads continue to swallow up the
$2,0O0,00000O appropriated for the pur-
pose by the Reconstruction Finance
Company, the fifteen million unem-
ployed workers of the country con-
tinue to starve, with the Hoover gov
