He Claimed the featherweight championship of Australia, but he was too heavy for a featherweight. In the meeting between Murphy and Young Qriffo the latter outweighed Billy by about twelve Pounds, Twenty-five rounds was to be the limit of the match and the purse 41,800, Three-ounce gloves were Murphy's victories in America had been heralded all over Australia and a big crowd turned out to give him a hall-to-the-conquering-hero re- ception, But the spectators were doomed to disappointment, Murphy never had a look-in Young Griffo, While the latter couldn't hit Billy hard enough to put him away, @0 olusmive was he, so impenetrable was hie defense, so thoroughly did he ont- Murphy that the little feather- weight champion could hardly have gotten ineide thet wall of fying fists with an axe and crowbar. At the end of the fifteenth round Murphy deliber- Mlely quit. He took off his gloves and refused to come out of his corner and fight, declaring that Referee Sid Bloomfield was interfering, that the gloves which he was compelled to wear were five-ounce instead of three-ounce ones, and giving a dozen other exouses, Bo there was nothing left for the ref- eree to do but award the decision to Young Grifto. Got Himselt in Wrong. Murphy's actions from the time that he landed in Australia got him in bed, and his conduct on this occasion didn't tend to increase his popularity, When Billy had lived around Sydney and was fighting at Larry Foley's place he was well liked by his companions and sel- dom put on airs of euperiority. But when he returned from America he had & bad case of awelled head. His former companions instantly detected and re. gented it, He also diaplayed bis hig hat, frock coat and fur-lned overcoat an all ogcasions, but failed to make the hit with them he had expected. When at the conclusion of the Grifto fight Billy tried to make a speech and en- @eavored to Justify his conduct he was Freeted from all over the house, b bean't no fighter—e's a * and sundry other remarks de livered in highly uncomplimentary Aus tralian cockney.

It was just @ common, garden variety mustache, neither very large nor very small, neither very fine nor very coarse. There wae nothing about it to dis- tinguish it from a thousand other mus- taches that had owners around San Francisco. But Billy thought it the finest specimen of its kind on the Pa- cific Coast and spent much time and money fussing over it. Lost His Mustache.

After the barbor had findshed cutting the heir, Billy laid Dack for hig shave and soon was fast asieep.

He straightened up in his chair and gazed at himself in the mirror. To his horror, half of the beloved mustache wae gone With a yell Billy made the proprietor of the shop and all the barbers to prevent him from cleaning out the place. The tonsorial artist carried out his instruc- jtions and doggedly insisted that Billy ad the mustache shaved off. Billy never tumbled to the trick. He left the place, refusing to have the other half taken off, but his companions guyed him ance that he tongorial parlor and had them make & clean job ef it. But his anguish of soul was great until the new mustache finally attained the glory of the old one. Cha , a —A San Francisco postal clerk claims the letter sorting championship of the world. love H.
