gerated. A party of five roughs at

ski fight, the result of which was
cabled at the time, agree that the con-
test was one of the most desperate ever
soon in the colonies. Both men were
bathed in blood before the close of the

er, and his rib blows, together with his
right swings on the jaw, eventually de-
cided the fight in his favor in the fourth
round.

The fight between Alfred Grifiths,
better known as ''Griffo," and Billy
Murphy, which took place July 22d at
the Amateur Gymnastic club of Sydney
for the feather weight championship of
the world and purse of $3.50, was won
by Critic on a foul in the twenty
second round, after an even and exciting
battle. Both men had trained carefully.
Critic was seven pounds the heavier.
Murphy started to rush matters, but
Critic got in several times heavily on
Murphy's mouth, and in the sixth the
latter was bleeding at the nose. From
this to the final round it appeared to be
either mans fight, Murphy making
desperate but futile attempts to swing
his right in way that would finish the
contest If it landed.
In the last round Murphy drove
Griffo all around the ring, until the
latter turned and got in a punch over
the heart that dazed Murphy, and he
seized Critic and began hammering
with his right. The latter either
dropped or was pushed down. Murphy
continued hammering him, and amid
great excitement the referee awarded
the contest to Critic. Sullivan was
present in the club and was received
with much applause.
