Died Penniless In Scranton, Hospital -Fought Tiger Flowers, Johnny Glover, Young Stribbling And Among Others Leo Leonard, An Edyardsville Boy-Wallis An Athlete. By Billy Burke That was a beautiful story written by Chick Feldman in Scranton publication anent the late middle weight fighter, Frankie Murphy, native of Brooklyn, N. Y. who died penniless and without friends in the Lackawanna county city few weeks ago. It was a story to touch hearts of those who read it and tribute to its author.

Frankie Murphy died in a strange city, without family, and most likely would have died without friends, if it hadn't for Hank Stezar, Scranton "boxing promoter, who left no stone unturned in giving the former boxer a Christian funeral. Frankie Murphy had engaged in over 200 ring battles which included hectic encounters with Leo Leonard, an Edwardsville Jack O'Dowd, Frank Mantell, Jackie Clark, Bryan Downey, Johnny Wilson, Johnny Glover, George Brown, Tiger Flowers, Young Stribling and other top notch fighters. Stezar Cared For Him Hank Stezar, who is known throughout the Pennsylvania coal fields due to his affiliation with the game, played important boxing, the touching that wrote finis to the career of a real fighting Irishman. Being modest about his numerous charitable acts few learn, the way Hank had mothered, and cared for this poor, broken down, sickly ex-fighter. For over two years Hank Stezar had cared for Frankie Murphy, and saw that he was sheltered and fed.

When Frankie's health became very poor, Hank had the necessary arrangements made to enter the stricken Frankie in Jefferson Hospital, Phila. When he was released from the hospital it was to Hank Stezar, in Scranton, he was sent, and it was Hank who had him entered in Hillside Home, that he might receive the proper care. With his death it was Hank who considered it his personal obligation to see that any relatives should be notified if they could be found, and that all arrangements should be made with the undertaker, that Frankie Murphy should have the benefit of a mass and church funeral. Then to see that Frankie Murphy would not land in Potter's field, Hank Stezar arranged for the burial in Cathedral Cemetery, Scranton. This is the story of a real old timer, and another old timer who has been the spark plug as Scranton's Boxing Promoter, Hank Stezar, a man with a heart of gold, a man who has been ever ready to offer a helping hand to any young boxer to give him a start, or any old timer to give him a lift.

Wallis An Athlete Back in the days when John Wallis, county treasurer, was a salesman for the Hercules Powder Co. he took a prominent part in athletics in those days John making his home at the old Exchange Hotel. In fancy I can see him sitting on the top porch, feet on a railing and reading the sport page of a local paper. He was a great admirer of Jim Jeffries and was so down cast when the big Californian was beaten by Jack Johnson that he stayed in doors all buried himself in his newspaper. Wonder if John's thoughts are ever carried back on memory's wings to that torrid July night, 1910, when he acted as third man in the ring during a terrific encounter between two husky colored boys, from Philadelphia.

Whatta fight -whatta night. Many in the audience shed their dress shirts while others dipped their handkerchiefs in root beer placed on the palm of their hands. A few of tenderfoot variety from Plains fainted. Of all tough this one took the cake- and the icing too. Arthur Donovan would have have the devil's own time with the ferocious cullud lads were seemingly out to send each other to the land from which there is no returning.

It took a stout heart to step the ring as arbiter but John was equal to the occasion and did a swell job despite the fact that he lost four pounds during the proceedings. Introduced Jeffries On another occasion, January, 1910, John Wallis introduced his idol, Jim Jeffries and his sparmate, Sam Berger, amateur heavyweight champion of the Pacific Coast, in the Luzerne Theatre, where the fight between the colored NOT tour of the country the time and was giving boxing exhibitions with Berger' as part of his training for the coming on championship tilt with Jack Johnson, July 4th, of the same year, Jeffries and Berger got great hand but it couldn't hold candle to that accorded Wallis. Them were the days, John ole top. No Hit Pitcher Nick Mangan of Port Griffith, a former salesman, holds tinction of pitching a no-hit game at Archibald, twenty-six years ago. He heaving em over in the Holy League of the upper valley the time.

Some of the new timers think Nick is joking about his base ball activities inasmuch as he didn't handle a ball in twenty-five years. If the skeptic would thumb back pages of the record books probably they might shake Nick by the hand and exclaim "you're right Gus Lesenevich while visiting friends in Duryea recently took a trip down to Pittston where he met many of the sport fans. Gus looked in the proverbial pink and informed the upper enders that he craves another shot at Billy Conn. Another Celebrity Another celebrity to visit Pittston was William M. Paisley, Director N.

B. Music Library, Radio City, New York. Mr. Paisley was a guest at the historic Wyoming Valley Hotel, now conducted by Tommy Kehoe. The writer had the pleasure of meeting the affable gentleman from the metropolis and ton sonality say he is saturated with peris putting it mildly.

He was deeply impressed with the friendly spirit of Pittston, folks, of whom there are He also surprised to see such a busy thoroughfare as the Main street of which it is said "if you can drive through Pittston's main street you can drive Paisley is lover of nature, music and good books. Believe it or not he wouldn't give three whisks of a lamb's tail for the best boxing show that could be arranged. He is always welcome back at Pittston. Dean of Arbiters Billy Davis, the dean of local arbiters, had been handling the indicator for 21 years and is still doing a swell job in the Independent Class, A League. Billy knows all the angles of the game, he is fair and impartial and last but not least is boss of the game at all times.

Would that other umpires possessed Billy's back bone and put many of the umpire baiters in their proper places. We have entirely too many in this neck of the woods. Billy Davis is one fellow who doesn't have to take a back seat for any of the boys in blue who cavort about the ball yards here and abroad. He is tops.

Schwabs Defeated The Hazard Wire and Rope Co. shops team defeated Schwab's, league leaders of the Larksville WPA Softball League hard fought contest at the Larksville ball park, 10 to 9. The game was marked by many brilliant plays which kept the several hundred fans on their feet throughout the game.

George Straw the Hazard center fielder made spectacular catches to lead his team in defense, while Beeman, Muskas and Hock had three hits apiece to lead their offensive attack. Karst played a bang up game at short field and led Schwabs in hitting along with Magalski and Walsh. The batteries for the game were Hock and Beeman for the Hazard and Patton and Magalski for Schwabs. The teams will meet again in the near future in a return match.

Stucker, daughter Stucker of By Hugh S. Fullerton; Jr. New York, July 9-(P)- Two tall young fellows- who would like to see their names opposite that 1 in the national tennis rankings, who better than good chances, are taking different roads toward the same objective. The two are Frank Kovacs of Oakland, who already has won considerable national recognition, and Billy Gillespie of Atlanta and the University of Miami. Kovacs was ranked tenth nationally two years ago, but he suffered from a lame arm last season, played very little and didn't earn a national ranking.

He made his first big 1940 bid last week in the Nassau Country Club invitation grass court tourney and won a trophy that has been held by such illustrious figures as Bill Tilden and Bobby Riggs. Before that he had played in the East- West matches at Sewickley, and taken a couple of drubbings. He's following the turf court trail, playing this week in the Gold Racquet tourney at North Conway, N. H. Last week the fans were comparing Kovacs to Tilden and Don Budge.

He resembles them in at least one respect. He's tall and lanky and can hit the ball with devastating force, especially off the backhand. He beat two first-ten players, Gil Hunt and Elwood Cooke, and a former Davis cup player, Joe Hunt, in the Cooke's Nassau tourneyier watching Frank's cross-court backhand shots whiz by him in the final was," I knew all about that shot; I was ready it-but what can you do about it?"

Takes Modest Route Gillespie is taking a more modest route by way of the clay courts. He got off in front in the New York State championships and was the first to reach the round of 16. Billy used to play for Scarborough School near here and usually lost to Marvin Kantrowitz of Dewitt Clinton High. Sunday his third round opponent was Kantrowitz, now of Lehigh, and Gillespie won in three tough sets. Billy is somewhat bigger and a lot better than he was in his schoolboy days.

Right now he seems headed match with top seeded Don McNeill of Oklahoma City, who didn't reach the tourney until yesterday and then caught up by means of a convenient default and of easy victories. Billy probably. will lose that match, but chance to show how good he is. And if you'll look back a few years you may recall that it was in the New York State clay court tourney that a youngster from Kenyon College by the name of Don McNeill got flying start on the road to fame. Don holds the tional clay courts and intercollegiate titles now and is still moving up.
