June 27—(U.R)—Twice postponed l.y tad weather the tenround fight between Johnny Risko of Cleveland and George Godfrey of New Orleans will take place at Ebbets Field tonight. Godfrey, the giant negro, will weigh some forty pounds more than the taker from Cleveland, but this was described as both an advantage and a di.-advantage. It might aid the negro in forcing Risko to some extent. and on the other hand it might enable the latter to keep away from any dangerous positions. Godfl ey is considered the last of the "black menaces’’ to the heavyweight crown, and some experts are inclined to believe this menace will be swept away.

BIG TIME MURPHY' SHOT TO DEATH BY GANGSTERS (COXT..VI ED FHOM I’AGIC OWE) [enough. A solitary bullet caught him in the back. He was dead before doctors could reach him. Warfare among racketeers of the cleaning and dyeing trade, in which [ Murphy recently had become involv- j ed, was believed by police to be re- ‘ sponsible. Warrants were issued for I the arrest of Alfred Borris. former I secretary of the cleaners’ and dyers’ union; Ben Abrams, Sam Rubens anil George Goldstine. Two alleged gang leaders, William Carrio and Mike Greco, also were sought. Murder of Big Tim, otherwise known as Timothy D. Murphy, brought a violent and dramatic close to a life which had been lived violenttly and dramatically throughout. Big Tim was born and raised among the stockyard workers here. Endowed with a .personality which won him friends easily, he began his career upon a scene where gang instinct was strong, endowed with a gift for leadership. In his saloon at the stockyards he developed political contacts. In a few years he was an important figure and from then, his rise was steady. One of the first of many occasions on which he ran afoul of the law was the "Mossy" Enright murder case in 1920. Big Tim and two of his lieutenants, Mike Carozzo and Jimmy Vinci, then had become powerful as union organizers and were involved in the feuds which rocked Chicago labor at that time. Enright was a rival leader of the “gas house gang.” The three men were indicted for the killing, but the state’s attorney's office failed to find witnesses who would testify against them and the cases never went to trial. Magnetic, witty, nonchalent. Big Tim organized union after union in an ambitions program of labor activities. Gradually he ascended to the position of a czar in the Chicago la bor world, his might equalled by few | other civic leaders. A few years ago he was indicted and convicted with Carozzo. h's pal. in the $125,000 Dearborn street mail robbery. Big Tim was sentenced to five years in Leavenworth federal penitentiary and fined SIO,OOO. He served four years of his term. Then, while many protected because of his i>ast record of gangsterism, Murphy was paroled from the Kansas prison and alowed to return to Chicago. He was met at the station by a band. His homecoming was a gala day for his thousands, of followers here. The most powerful group with I which he usually was identified, was the gas workers’ union. But the range of others which he set himself to organize was regarded as amazing. About a year ago Big Tim opened one of the most magnificent and pre‘entious gambling casinos ever seen n Chicago. He sought to make a miniatuie Monte Carlo of the place on Sheridan road. It had diamondstudded roulette wheels and was guarded by an elaborate arsenal. Mickey Arnstein, notorious* anarchist, was reported to be a partner in the project. It. flourished for only a short time. The police surrounded it one night | and, in a spectacular raid, wrecked | ‘be dazzling establishment. BUFFALO NICKEL NOW WORTH MORE It Buys a Finer F-ive-cent Cigar Than You Ever Smoked Before Yes, sir, there’s a premium value on buffalo (or any other) nickels if you measure them with Havana Ribbon cigars. You’ll say Havana Ribbon really belongs in a higher-p-iced class. How so? Because Havana Ribbon is made from tobaccos usually used only in better grades of cigars. No bitter, underripe top leaves. No flat-tasting overripe bottom leaves. No “scraps” or short ends to crumble in your mouth. But only long, flavor-laden, mellowmild, fully-ripe middle leaves from choice tobacco plants. Modern manufacturing methods and huge production have made it possible. If you need any further urge to try this remarkable cigar,- we’ll make you this guarantee: If Havana Ribbon isn’t the finest-tasting, big-gest-value, five-cent cigar you ever smoked, you can have your trial nickel back. Also sold in Practical Pocket Packaged of five cigars.
