so, bricklayer, rooming at 400 Mas
sachusetts avenue.
Murphey returned to his home at 206
Sixth street southeast from work shorty
after am. He presumably was too
i'll to unlock his front door. because his

ment walk. Mrs. Catherine NJ Baden

her second-story window lying on the
walk.
1t was still dark and Mrs. Baden
failed to recognize her neighbor, tele-
phoning No. 4 precinct and Casualty
Hospital. Policemen Hall D. Williams
and r. S. Best arrived at the scene
shortly ahead Of an ambulance.
The doctor in charge Of the ambu-
lance pronounced Murphey dead.
The body was not removed from the
walk until after examination by DR.. A.

insisted on going to work.
Collapses in Vestibule.
DR.. Macdonald had no sooner finished
examination than he was summoned to
the Massachusetts, avenue address,
where Gleason had been stricken.
Others in the rooming house where
Gleason lived said he had been out with
friends. They heard him talking on
the street outside with some one who
had accompanied him home. A mo-
ment later they heard Gleason call out
and on opening the front door found
he had collapsed in the vestibule.
The stricken man was carried inside
and died before doctor arrived. DR..

BESTS
SH|RER DRUG

Joe Hursts masterful twirling
proved too much for Shirer Drug
team last night at Wilson field and
as a result the hitherto undefeated
league leaders lost their first game
of the present season. The score was
10 in favor of the Golden State
team and it was every bit as good
a game as the score indicates.
For seven innings the two teams
battled on even terms, runs being
as scare as feathers on a hound
pup. Both Hurst and Beechey were
burning 'em down Ine groove and
the batters of both teams with an
almost monotonous regularity STEP
ped up, took their regulation three
healthy swings and then sat down
again.
In the first of the eighth with
one away, Lamb, center gardner for
John Kepleys outfit, fooled a fly
from the bat of Gott of the Gold
en- Staters. This didn't look so bad
as Flores, next up was an easy out.
Breathing freely again for a mo-
ment the Druggists still had Wis
ions of being able to pull the old
game out of the fire even though it
might go into extra innings when
Howard, center fielder of the win
ners. laced one up against the bar
rier right field which was good
for three bases bringing in Gott
with the one run which proved Suf-
ficient to win.
With this run to his advantage,
Hurst bore down plenty in the last
two times at bat for the Druggists
and set them down in order except
ing for an attempted rally in the
last of the ninth when the Kepley-
ties got a man on first via the
hit route but he could not get all
the way around to home.
It was one swell ball game all
the way through and the large
number of fans and fanettes pres
ent cheered on their favorites at
every opportunity. This game puts
the Shirer and Studebaker teams
into a tie for top honors with Cra-
mer Bakery and the Golden State
aggregations on even terms for Sec
ond place.
Due to graduation ceremonies to
be held on the Wilson field this
evening the scheduled game be-
tween the Fat Boys and the Valley
Steam Laundry will be played to-
morrow night instead of tonight,
according to an announcement
made during the game.

BOXERS READY
FOR BATTLE

when I get him in the ring III
knock him loose from his upper
teeth, or words to that effect,
have been passing through the
minds of both Al Austin and Blackie
Olea ever since those two boys were
matched to appear in the main
event of Friday nights card at the
local arena.
So the brethren can gather from
this that the two boys are not in
tending TO hold any love feast or
pink tea in the squared circle to-
morrow night, but mean strictly to
get down TO business in short order
and settle an argument that has
been growing by leaps and bounds
for some time past. Each is a good
scrapper and Olea's showing two
weeks ago impressed the fans
nightly. He has been after Austin
for many moons and now the two
will have chance to show the pub
lie which of the two is the better
scrapper.
Three other eight round scraps
are on the card, making a very
good layout for the fans. Art Wes-
ton and Guy Mckinney are book
ed for the semi-w.ndup and it is
expected that these boys will put
on a real fight.
In the special event, Frankie
Brown and Memo Perez will lock
horns with Manuel Ruiz and Louis
Silva carded for the opener.
Bobby Pacho, former state light
weight champion, and Imperial
valleys favorite boxer, has agreed
to box at the local club next FIR
day night, if a suitable opponent
can be arranged.
The club matchmaker is now
with a San Diego boxer
capable of giving Pacho good
fight ano hopes to be able to sign
both men up for the main event
next week.

DEMPSEY CENTER OF INTEREST
IN BAER SCHMELING BATTLE

promising, coloTful young fighter,
but the big reason for the bouts
apparent success is the fact that
Jack Dempsey is handling the pro-
motion.
Has Row With Jacobs
Dempsey gave this fight more
publicity probably than any other
individual could have secured. He
signed the fighters, made arrange
ments for their training, went into
the ring with them and boxed at
their camps, and now has become
embroiled with Schmeling's mana
ger. Joe Jacobs, because he gave
Baer couple of pointers for the
fight. 1t was all novel, interesting
stuff
Schmeling probably will be a 2
to l favorite on the night of the
fight because 70 his greater exper-
ience. Baer is somewhat of an un-
known quantity, despite the adver-
Using. The best man ne ever whip
ped was the late Ernie Schaaf.
Baer went 20 rounds with Pauline
Uzcudun at Reno, losing to the
Basque wood-chopper, but Schmel-
ing chopped Pauline to pieces in a
15-round meeting.
Both are hard hitters, and it's
doubtful if the fight will go the
limit. Baer is the more devastating
puncher, but he's wild, and the
German slugger is an elusive tar
get. The Californian will have at
least 15-pound weight advantage.

NEW YORK, June |. - A week
from tonight a new chapter will be
written into that chronicle of blows

Moreover. it is being staged in the
face Of opposition from Madison

According to the promoters, the
financial success of the bout al
ready is assured by advance sales
Of tickets About 10000 fans are ex-
pected to attend, many of them
coming by special trains from as
far away as California.
Schmeling is a former heavy
weight champion, and Baer is a
