No Decision Idea Harmed Murphy . in Decision Bout “Harlem Tommy*' Fought So Often Without Verdict That He Muffed Title—Could n't Go Distance. It was in the New York no-decision t.latches that “'Harlem Tommy’ Mur kily flourished. Born in 1885, his rec 1 I'd begins v.ith 1903 and ends, so far as worthwhile performances go, in I a 13. That ‘record tells why this su berboxer never reached the peak—he was mentally and physically geared up to a 10-round no-decision contest. Possessed of every qualification a titlcholder requires, he incahanlcally and inevitably adjusted himself to the verdictless issue. "When lie stepped out of the 10-round game he won only nine bouts, and of these five were 12-round affairs in Boston. In the II years mentioned, he fought 130 battles, and in-84 of these no on knows today what happened. He I nocked out 21! men, also in ito-de i ision bouts, thus giving to 110 of his 130 fights the no-decision complex. Now in at least 70 of those 84 un satisfactory encounters, Murphy prob ably received the favorable decisions of the majority of sporting writers present. How much'better for his prestige and his box office drawing power if, instead of the exasperating, meaningless "No Dec.,” he could have l printed after his name the letter "W" ^ to show thqt lie won. As to Murphys abilities, he had everything except the "will to win” the retiree's verdict—and that was due solely to the fact that there was no referee's verdict. He was a terrific puncher, an extraordinary ring tac tician, and his speed was bewildering. When Caesar paused in his career of j "decision” fights to praise it tras [ ~ deemed praise indeed. No greater tribute ever was jtaid to any boxer than the one bestowed on the Harlem lad by the fastest boxer that ever lived, Percy Cove 'Twas thus he spoke: ^ Long Fights His Waterloo. "Brother, when Murphy hits a man j n ice with either hand, no power under i the shining sun can prevent him from I hitting him three times more. I've : often trained with him. and when he hit me the first one I knew three more were on the way.” Murphy started down hill when he went to California to get Into the 20-roUfcd game, just as "Knockout" Brown, Leach Cross and other grad uates from the New York school did. Packey McFarland beat him, and lie drew with "One Round" Hogan. Abe i At tell and Ad Wolgast. He later de- j feated Attell and Wolgast, about the j only long battles he ever won. His other triumphs and defeats can be , seen in the record books, save where j they are forever obscured by the no decision "decisions.” Murphy, however, should lie awake nights worrying about his failure to won the title. During his long career he sensibly invested a great part of bis earnings in Brooklyn real estate, and today he is almost a plutocrat, with an income as handsome as it is secure.

Feb. 12.—There la no reason why women should not succeed as owners of baseball clubs, if they have good men business man agers, according to Mrs. Janies Dunn, owner of the Cleveland club of the American league, who fs here to pass the winter. She is said to be organ ized baseball's only woman club owner. Women can JuyriUjr Compete with men who have given much of their j time to the game, and for this reason «ho thinks a good business manager and a good playing manager are nec- : eaa&ry if a woman wishes to hold her own against other club owners. Tris Speaker, playing manager of the Indians, also acts as business < manager for th» club. Mrs. Dunn said she considered him one of the best playing manager in baseball. He Is now rebuilding tho club and may not be able to win pennants for some time, perhaps several seasons, said Mrs. Dunn. "We are. in the market for an out fielder and an infielder," she said. "I think we will have the best catching staff of any club in either of the big leagues.” The Indians will begin spring train ing with a squail much smaller than the one taken to Dallas, Tex , last year.'

In the final Marquette game the Jack Dempsey Barred From Fighting in Mecca of Pugilism Because of Publicity Given to “Fake” Offers )M out of the midst of all the fistic furore in Gotham Jack Kearns arises to ask: “Why are they hanging the razzberies around Jack Dempsey’s neck?” The quizz which Kearns emits is the same one which sportsdom, in general, has been uttering ever since Billy Muldoon issued his amazing ruling that “no heavyweight championship contest will be permitted in New York state while 1 am chairman of the New York state athietic commission.” Dempsey has done absolutely nothing to cause his being barred from battling in defense of his title in the Mecca of Pugilism. He has conducted himself prop erly, he bus expressed a willingness to fight any living man and he has not made a definite financial demand for his services. Tor. in left handed fashion, he has been Indefinitely suspended by the New Vork commission. — Creighton captain tyas fore«J to retire early in the contest. “Dick" Haley, substitute forward, will take Lovely's place tonight and : for the remainder of the week Following tonight's' game Creigh ton will rest ofte day and then qrt Wednesday meet Nebraska Wesleyan.

"Hut I don’t see any reason w-hy he should punish Dempsey, barring him from fighting, because of something which sport promoters have done that offended the commission. "When Dempsey and I ariived in New York a few weeks ago, I said that we were in a receptive mood, as far as bids for a Dempsey-Wills, or any other fight involving Dempsey, was concerned, Dempsey was fit and ready to fight anyone, anywhere, any time. It was up to the promoters to talk business. "Rickard then stepped in and var ious newspaper stories quoted him as offering ’ifferent sums of mon- y.

"Sort, of odd angle, isn't it, this act ; of Muldoon's in l*arrlng Dempsey from fighting in New York because a ' ■ w promoters got publicity for them selxes by talking In half millions, mil lions and things like that?
