Frankie Murphy, tho Now Orleans

fight with Jim tFirpo) Gorman, which
I? staged for June 26 at that place.
Murphy went to the lake-aide camp
Thursday morning, and immediately
started road work and shadow boxing.
Murphy lost no time in Retting ac
quainted with hia new neighbors, and
went out with Jessie Kirk and pitched
bay as part of the first day's work.
Speaking of his condition Murphy
says: Oh boy! I ni beginning to feel
fine. I pitched hay for a couple of
hours, and when I returned to the
camp I ate a big steak with all the;
trimmings, with relish of an honest to I
goodness farm hand. I feel that this'
trip will do me worlds of good. My '
friends are saying a lot of nice things
about me since I came down here, and
you know at times it makes a fellow
l?el as though he were orer-appreciated,
and I am going to do my best to come
up to the expectations of the fans."
One of Murphy's friends who knew
him in tho south, told a yarn on
Frankie to a few mutual admirers,
during a fanning session here a fow
days ogo.
As the story goes, Murphy was billed
to ficht 15 rounds to a decision at
Torreon. Mexico, with "Speedball" Hay-'
den. The latter was a colored boxer, I
and was champion middleweight " of
Mexico. The tight fans of that coun

the audience. Frankie would put on
a atage smile aad bow to the mat
like a matador.' All through the
fight Murphy kept stinging hia op
rcnent and making blin miss, and
by the time the fight ended ha had
the crowd grabbed.
"When the promoters settled up
with Krankie they gar him 1540
pesoa l$760.) About that time
Villa was roaming around Mexico,
murdering and plundering. Murphy
had the H50 pesos in a sack, and
thought what a fine bait it would be
for one of Villa's cut "throate. Tho
more he thought of it, and the pros
pects of being the recipient of a
intlletto. the more the value of
t.esoa sunk in his estimation. Find
ing no way out of the predicament.
Murphy walked into a . saloon and
threw the sack on the counter, and
turned to the crowd and said: 'All
hands drink to Senor Murphy.' and
at the first favorable opportunity
walked out, and left the sack on
tho table."
