PUGS IN TRAINING.
Mtddleweights Murphy and Byers
Will Put Up a Hot Fight.


CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-Tim Murphy, Aus
tralia's middle-weight champion, who
meets George Byens Of Boston in the
wind-up of the big boxing show at Tat
tersalls next Tuesday night, is training
at the Star gymnasium for his bout with
the clever colored boxer.
The local fighters who have watched the
man from the antipodes go' through his
daily stunts are one and all much i'm
pressed with the great hitting power dis
played by the redoubtable Tim. The
general opinion seems to be that the
sturdy Australian stands an excellent
chance of winning out in a hurry by
virtue of his dangerous right hand The
right swing is Murphy's favorite punch.
and should it ever get home to Byers'
jaw matters are apt to come to a sud-
den termination
This is the fourth week that Murphy
has put in at the gymnasium, and he
shows the effect of the hard work he
has done. He is in splendid condition,
and the same may be said of Byers, who
has also left no stones unturned in his
efforts to get into perfect shape for the
battle.
Charley Burns, the Cincinnati boxer,
who faces Welter-Weight Champion
Matty Matthews in one Of the Star pre-
liminary bouts, has cast in his lot with
the pugilists who are working at Harry
Forbes training quarters Burns is al
ready in fine condition, and only needs
sufficient exercise to keep him on edge
until the night CT battle.
Matthews will be here Shortly, and will
