SPORTDOM LOSES
GREATEST VOICE
Joe Humphreys. Dead at So,

TAIR HAVEN, N. j., July IL
- Joe Humphreys, whose leather
Mnged cry of the win-nah
and new champion" was the
dominant voice of the sports world
for more than 40 years. is dead
Humphreys a character of the
American prize ring for more than
generation. died yesterday at the age
of So. He had been in i'll health for
two years and collapsed apparently
from the excessive heat.
Gifted with an unusually powerful
voice, Humphreys became the worlds
best known sports announcer. His
quiet please" accompanied by wave
of the hands, never failed to still the
great crowds ne worked before.
Like Alfred E. Smith, his boyhood
chum. Humphreys grew up on the
sidewalks of New York. He rose from
the humble role of newsboy to a
position of prominence in the sports
world, particularly as an announcer
of championship bouts.
Objected to Amplifiers.
LIE ALMOST split with Tex Rick
\ ard when the promoter insisted
on installing amplifiers for the Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight. seeing in them
reflection on the power of his voice.
AS brokers page and schoolboy
singer he developed the voice that
brought him worldwide recognition.
When the regular announcer at a
benefit fight failed to show UP Joe
got the job. He was a success from
the start and his clarion calls lent
an official air to bouts sponsored by
Rickard, the master promoter.
He first conceived the idea of pray
ing for departed fighters 20 years ago
and asked Divine Intervention for
Lindbergh on his flight to Paris the
night of the Sharkey Maloney bout
in 1927.
Helped Manage McGovern.,
Joe was associated with Sam H.
=" Harris in managing Terry Nc
Govern, who outranked all of the
pugilistic greats, in Humphreys
opinion. He also was an admirer of
Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey.
I've seen them come and I've seen
them CO." he commented after he
suffered his first stroke three years
ago. Take all your great fighters,
I gave them their last public intro
ductions"
He resumed announcing in 1888,
but the illness had left its mark on
him. At the third meeting Of Bar
ney Ross and Jimmy McLarnin he
was so crippled he could not enter
the ring and had to make the intro
ductions from a microphone at the
ringside.
