“Harlem 'I‘ommy" Murphy line nh~
nouuced in Les Angelou that, in the ‘
evrnt of losing to Willie Ritchie
when the first chance comes to him.
for his awaited championnhlp crock,
he will retire from the ring for all
time to come. Nnturally, should he
win, Murphy wduldn’t think of rein"
ing, but would aim to go ahead and
clean up as much money as pohulble.
- Other lighters have made the some
matches,
and have as promptly forgotten all
about their plans, even when the dc.-
fent has been a crushing one. "Har-
lem Tommy," however, isn't pnrticu4
larly given to making declarations
and in his came. since he in nicely situ—
ated from a financial standpoint. the
announcement really means
than would crdinnrlly appear.
"I have been in the game since
19ml, which meune just til years." he
told an interviewer. “i sincerely be-
lieve that i can beat. Willie lliitchle,
and if i lose i will quit the game."
Judging from conversations with
Murphy, the New Yorker is keenly
alive to the fact that he cnn‘t go on
forever; and since it is not absolutely
heeesenry, from a standpoint of mult-
ingo livinlx, the cilanccuure that Mur-
phy will be well pleased when he can
retire from” active ring work.
.loe Levy and Sam Wallneh. respec-
tivc managers of Joe Rivers and
touch Cross, have had an interesting
spur. over the evident. desire ol‘ Cross
to get a return match with Rivers.
Before leaving with Rivers for Mil-
wnukeo, where the Mexlcnn in to
meet All \K’olgunt, Levy threw thofol-
Iouiug at. Wallach:
“.loe lulu fought Leach three times,
and at v‘uriouu routes. We are not go.
in}.) to dedicate the rent of our liver; to
lighting Hench, Anyway. we wont to
light Willie Ililchie for the champion-
ship. und that setting the matter."
In reply. Wallucll intimated that
Loni-ll (‘rosn would try to do nil in his
power to'crowd Rivers out of the
Ritchie. match.
All for Ritchie, it will be a cane ot‘
the bout ol’l’cr thntwwill attract his al.-
l.cnllou, Nnturnlly. the San Frunciaco
boy is not planning ahead of the Mur
phy mutt-h, on January 30, but. In the
event of heating the. New Yorker, the
chances are that he would look with
favor upon a return punch with ltlv.

Tom McUorey Is prepared to mnkc a

“An oil the world knows, the cup

“In spite of the fact that. she. was
