Eddie Murphy of Boston outpointed i
George Memsic a proverbial city block over the ten-round route in the windup
of the Shamrock A. C.'s bout In Gary last night. The Boston lightweight made the Bohemian look like a- novice by his clever footwork, and Memslc's only chance for the decision was the hope for a knockout. A long delay put back the star bout, due to wrangle between the respective managers of the fighters when Memsic weighed in at 140 pounds. Murphy's weight was announced as 134. Murphy carried the fight to the Bohemian in the opening round, making the latter miss repeatedly by his clever
footwork. The Boston boy's superior footwork began to assert Itself in the second when he found Memslc's face at
will with a straight left Jab which
which George seemed unable to block. Four seconds before the close of the round Memsic slipped and was on the canvas when the gong rang. The third was fairly even and Memsic began to find his man in the fourth. Here George ripped in a succession of body punches which stung his foe. The fifth round proved a hummer. Both boys, thoroughly warmed up, showed a
Richmond, Ind., Oct 7. The Cincinnati Reds played an exhibition game here yesterday, defeating Richmond's Eastern Indiana Sunday league championship team, 20 to 3. The Reds had on their "kidding" clothes, and Red Ireton, a boy who wears a uniform at all games, but who has never been In a contest -with the locals, was "signed" by Hoblitzel. Red went to first and the big crowd had much enjoyment at the boy's expense. When he went to bat in the eighth, lined out a single, stole second and third and then scored on a single by Bates, his pride knew no bounds. Red seems to think he will be a regular next year when the Cincinnati season opens.

KID M'COY

WHITING AFTER CROWN POINT.
New York, Oct. 7. Kid McCoy went up another rung on his 'come back" ladder last night at BrWn's gymnasiu mwhen he knocked out Jim Savage in the fourth round of their scheduled ten. round bout. The Kid showed traces of his old time championship form and completely outclassed his opponent. He scored three knockdowns and was master of Savage from beginning to end. It was McCoy's third victory since he started to "come back" and his admirers claim last night's victory demonstrates that he now classes with the

In the midst of the continuously poor work of the St. Louis Browns this season, the fine playing and heavy clubbing of Frank Laporte has shone forth In marked contrast. The Indian pig
farmer has enjoyed his best year since entering the big league, and the transfer to St. Louis was a benefit bottv to
himself and the Browns.

have always shown themselves
. poor sports. They showed it a number of times and especially of late. Manager Keiser showed his colors the last two weeks. Now he says close the league, but at a meeting hel on Sept. 27 ' at Hammond he was not so willing to close, he being the first one lj.o say to extend the season a week so fas to let some of the clubs get all ! their games played. Now he has changed. There is a reason, for about
Sept. 24 East Chicago and Crown Point were tied. Sept. 30 East Chicago had a double-header booked with Gary '. which looked very soft to East Chi-' cago just for a while. Crown Point was to play 'one game with Hammond. ' Keiser thought East Chicago ought to win a double-header and themselves Winning would bring East Chicago up fn the lead with Crown Point a half game behind. This did not look good to Keiser and he was in favor of extending the season. But now since he is in the lead he has changed his mind and saying, "Oh, be a sport." At the last meeting he had a constitution and rule book to refer to. Did Crown Point live up to both? Well, according to the best of knowledge. Crown Point never did. He was told to get all his games played and he always refused to double up with Whiting, a breaking of the rule. The rule book gives a playing season. All true enough, but all the clubs try to
j play all their games while Crown Point
never did. Crown Point always feared Whiting and if they call themselves sports 4vhy they would have to finish the season or they will answer the challenge. F. L. HEL1N.

NEBRASAKA COEDS TO TRY FOOTBALL
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 7. Old maid and casino no longer are the favorite pastimes of the coeds of Nebraska university. The athletic woman is to reach her most strenuous stage in the local schqjl. No longer will local coeds have to sit on the bleachers and utter. "Isn't he grand," at the sight of a gridiron hero, for they are to get their daily lessons in the gridiron sport in a "squad" Instructed by a faculty coach. No, the girls are not going to appear In gridiron armor ,or engage in fierce scrimmages. Their football work will be done in a classroom, where they will be taught all the Intricacies of the forward pass, onside kick ond crisscross. Their instructor will be a "book taught" gridiron hero, who has probably never had his hair mussed in a line plunge, but they will learn all the secrets of the game the rule book contains.
