    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.

BEAUTY SPECIALIST
TELLS SECRET
A Meanly Specialist Gives Home
Made Keripe (o Darken Gray Hair.
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
m beatify specialist of Kansas City, re
W cently gave out the following state
ment -regarding gray hair:
“Any one can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair, and make It soft and glossy, i
To a half pint of water add 1 ounce
of hay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and 1-4 ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can ,be pur
chased at any drug store at very lit
tle cost. Apply to the hair twice a
wi < 1 until the desired shade is ob
tained. This will make a gray-haired
. person look twenty years younger. It
not color the scalp, is not sticky
' 'I grt isy and will not rub off.”
IT isn’t always tiie
fault of your truck,
your driver or your de
livery system when your
hauling costs are high.

Mrs. James Dunn, Only Woman
Club Owner, Talks on Baseball
Loa Angeles. Cal. 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.' Speaker Is said to he prepar
ing to leave wfth 27 players next
week for Lakeland, Fla.
Mrs. Dunn will leave for the east
next month after visiting San Fran
cisco. , /
Knepper May Be
or U. S. T e a ni
Chicago, Feb. 12.—Robert A. Gard
ner and,"Chick" Evans of Chicago,
the only two eligible American golf
ers. who have won the American na
tional amateur championship twice,
will not go to Great Brital.. this sum
mer with the American invaders to
defend the Walker cup, according to
expressions made by them today.
Gardner's decision is taken to be final,
hut it is thought possible that Evans
might change his mind if condition*
permit.
Gardner finished runner up, In a
37-hole match for the British title,
three years ago, hut Evans has been
less fortunate in his Invasion of Eng
land. having run unto an unbeatable
32 on one nine during the first expe
dition, when he was playing well, and
being off his game on the succeed
ing attempts.
Their decision leaves R. E. Knepper
of Iowa, a Princeton student, and
Harrison Johnson of St. Paul as the
most promising westerners, who may
go. aside from Dave Herron of Chi
cago, formerly champion, in case
Herron gets back" to (he strike that
carried him to victory over Bobby
Jones at Pittsburgh three years ago.

Two university basket ball teams.
Creighton anti Des Moines, stand out
as the only undefeated teams in the
“Big Nine" cage conference race.
Creighton, with seven victories ami
no defeats in the conference, looms up
as- the strongest team in race, al
though the Des Moines Tigers with
six wins and no defeats are close on
the heels of the Blue and White hoop
m
sters.
With the conference race nearing
an end and only a few more games
remaining on the schedules of Creigh
ton and Des Moines, it looks as if
both quintets will end the season un
defeated. Creighton and the Tiger.-,
are not scheduled to meet in basket
ball and officials of^ the conference
have started tlie wheels turning for
a postseason contdkt between these
two schools so that a champion may
be crowned In the “Big Nine.''
Flickers Out of llare.
The North Dakota university team
remained undefeated until last Satur
day' w^hen the South. Dakota State
tearp. a quintet that Creighton de
feated in a two game series, trimmed
the Fllckertails by the score of IS to
-0. Tliis defeat on the part of Nor* h
Dakota university put the latter out
of the running for the basket honors.
Creighton, hern use of its showing
against the Marquette team here last
week, sturnls out ns one of the
strongest basket tsall squads In this
section of the country. The Blue and
White displayed good team work and
passing in their two-game series with
the Wisconsin squad.
Coach Schahingcr’s hoopsters. how
ever. must play North Dakota un
versify tonight without the services
of Capt. Jimmy’ hovely, star forward,
hnvely injured his knee cap in the
first Marquette contest and was taken
out of ^he game in the secoqd half.
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.

The Wrslcyans gave ttje Des Moines
university team stiff competition in
their two-game series last week-end,
but with Creighton playing the same
brand of basket ball it did against
Marquette td<- Glue should -chalk up
another conference victory.
On Friday and Saturday of this

games to Creighton r;uly in the sea

two schools.

The. sportive public—ana especially
that which Infests Gotham—la wlldlv
anxious to see Dempsey in action. It
will pay the price—it. will even pav
ticket scalpers' prices—for the priv
ilege. New York wants to see Damp
sev display his prowess with s formtrl
able foeman. Yet here is Muldoon bar
ring Dempsey for no fault of his own.
Mtildoon's Husines*.
"if Muldoon wards to punish the so
■ illcd money mad sport promoters,
that’s his business," said Kearns.
"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. No
direct offer was made to me A thr*
trloal man got some publicity with a
mythical offer of $500,000 for a Pemp
sev-Wills fight. And then Tom
O'Rourke a cording • printed stories,
offered $1 000,000 for three fights in
w hich Jack would be involved.
Made No Demands.
“Not a single one of those offers
ever were made to mo in writing.
None w as made in a formal way.
1 (lid not make any financial de
mands nt any time in New York for
Dempsey’s services. 'I was just wait
ing for someone to make a real bid
backed up by a certified che. k. And
then, before any such offer was made.
Muldoon ruled that he wouldn't per
mit Dempsey to fight in New York in
defense of his championship.
"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?
"What's Dempsey going to do? “
t an tight in Tisjtiana.
“Well, for the time being. I'll just
(stick around, probably in New York,
xxaitlng to see what develops. Maybe
. Muldopn xx ill revise his ruling or. at
least, modify it. If so. ail's fine. If
not. well, there are other spots where
Jack can fight.
“I can put him on in Tiajuana,
Mexico, in cNlha, in South America,
l«erhaV* In Kurope—<«nd certainly in
one or another of the states where
boxing is permitted.
“Jack is going tb fight this sum
met—somewhere. And he'll fight any
man the public wants him to fight.
That's a moral cinch."

International League
Opposes Draft
New York. Keb. 12.—Adoption of a
15* game schedule, reiteration of its
refusal to accept players from the rua
ior leagues to whom the draft stnng
is attached, and release of Jack Dunn,
Baltimore owner, from an obligation
to dispose of three of the stars of his
championship club, constituted the
principal developments today at the
annual spring meeting of the In
national league.
Opposition to the draft scheme of
the majors, already voiced by the
league, was put formally on record In
an emphatic resolution, adopted unan
imously.
The resolution stated that "the In
ternational league again refuses to
accept any contracts with such pro
visions (namely, the draft provision I
and will refuse to allow any player
sent under such contract to play in
any of its games," and “that such
action on the part of the American
and National leagues ,s in violation of
the major minor league agreement ''
