Death Si|enCes
JoeHumphreys,
Ring Figure

FAIRHAVEN, N. j., July IL.
The golden voice of Joe Humph-
reys, ace of Americas announcerS
and familiar figure in boxing cir
cles for more than 40 years, was
Silenced in death today.
A lover If sports, Humphreys
has joined his palS-"Tad" Dor
gan, Mike Donlin, John McGraw,
Jim Corbett, Christy Mathewson,
Terry McCovern, Willie Keeler,
Tommy Foley, Big and Little Tim
Sullivan, and many others Of
another day.
III for about two years Hum
phreys spent the winter in Florida
and had enjoyed fair health until
the heat wave set in Thursday.
Stricken with a heart attack he
died at the home of his son,
George, mere late yesterday.
Part of Boxing Game
The 63.year-old ring character
spent A years as an announcer.
He was part of all ring dramas
and perhaps no man of this age
had greater control of a crowd
than Joe. Something had to be
radically wrong If Joe couldn't
make a crowd behave. The gal
lery gods were his gods.
Joe's first appearance as an an
nouncer was on Staten Island
when Kid Partland fought Phila-
delphia Tommy Ryan. He did such
a remarkable job that he was in
demand Until death stilled the
voice that was punctuated with
wit.
Joe was friend of all pugiliStic
greats of the past two score years.
But the apple of his eye was Terry
McGovern. No man, in Joe'S
opinion, ever could have been on a
par with Terrible Terry"
Rose From Sidewalks
Like his friend, former Governor
Alfred E. Smith, Humphreys was
product of the sidewalks of New
York. Death of his father when
Joe was only IL forced him to
shift for himself. He became a
newSboy and his lusty shouts in
directly led to position as page
at the produce exchange.
AS he grew older his voice de-
veloped, aided by the training it
received while Joe sang at clubs,
smokers, and benefits.
After his success as an an
nouncer at Staten Island, Joe be-
came official announcer for all
Madison Square Garden fights
from the time the late Tex Rickard
launched his career as a pro-
moter there. His familiar plea of
Quiet, please-quiet" was recog-
nized universally.
He admired Gene Tunney and
regarded Jack Dempsey as the
most devastating battler ever to
step into the ring. Of all the
fights he witnessed, the Dempsey
Firpo classic was the most excit-
ing.
Stroke DOOms Career
A stroke he suffered in 1888
forced him into virtual retirement
for some time and left a lasting
mark. AS soon as physicians would
permit, he resumed his work, even
though he had to be carried into
the ring, because of ailing legs, at
the third meeting of Barney Ross
and Jimmy McLarnin.
Illness forced him to miss the
Max Baer-JameS j. Braddock title
bout, the first important ring
battle he had not witnessed in his
career. Another rest enabled him
to reappear and introduce princi-
pals in the Joe Louis-Baer fight in
September, 1885, when 10000 spec
tators cheered him to the echo.

Victory was the byword Of two
local basketball teams today-vic-
tory that came to the Heurich
Brewers and Rinald Tailors after
pair of interesting games yester-
day.
The HeurichS beat the Norfolk
Norport Five, 80 to %. The Rim
Adds trounced the Bureau of In
vestigation Sleuths, 30 to %, after
an overtime period.
The Brewers put on a lot of
steam to beat the NorportS. The
pressure came in the last quarter
when the boys went from ~ to %
to 39-their final margin. Ralph
Bonnie, with 9 points, Roy Vowel,
with 6 and OTIS Zahn, with Z were
the scoring leaders.
Bill Noonan, who used to play at
Eastern High and George Wash
ington, was the Rinaldi star. He
scored IA points altogether-Six
of these coming in the second ex-
ira period necessary to decide the
game.
A packed gym saw the two teams
battle. It was the rubber" Of a
heated series, each team having
beaten the other once before. The
score was tied II to II at the end
of the regulation game and dead
locked 23-all at the finish Of the
first extra period.
