MURPHY Got
The PURSE
Bill l1uihui Was Badly
Outclassed by
"Tim."


A purse had been wagerea which COM
PEELED Murphy to stop Huihui in six
rounds or lose the money. For couple
of rounds Huihui did some lively scrap
ping and then finding himself complete
~ outclassed used the remaining three
rounds in an effort to take punishment
as softly as possible making the referee
work in counting from one to nine while
he himself rested on the floor to get
wind without being hit The referee,
Mike Patton, saw that Huihui was fax
ing for time, so Patton at once stopped
the fight and awarded the decision to
Murphy.
A bumper house greeted the well ar
ranged program of the Honolulu Ath-
letic Club Every seat was occupied
and many people were standing.
Ernest Heine, rs pounds, and Kupa,
I24 pounds, were billed for six rounds
but the lankv Kupa went down in the
third round and was counted out.
NIGEL JACKSON QUIT.
Nigel Jackson was booked for eight
rounds with Castro. Jackson is in the
garbage department and the other, a
Guam boy, works for the telephone COM
pany Jackson entered the ring with a
bandaged arm He claimed it had been
broken but some people were doubtful
about this when they noticed how hand
lily he used it during the bout. The
fight had barely started when Jackson
had been badly beaten up by his antagon-
ist To play for wind Jackson again
held up his arm and claimed a fresh
break. It mended though as soon as he
had secured more wind and the Guam
scrapper good-naturedly went on with
the fight With Castro doing most of
the leading the fight progressed until the
middle of the fourth round. At that
time Castro smashed Jackson at will.
Early in the fifth Jackson received such
a drubbing that he quit. He stepped to
the front of the ring and wished to. tell
the crowd how it happened but was
Kissed out of the ring.
BOTH MEN LICKED.
In the next bout both fighters were
whipped, Silva. the 'Punchbowl
Demon fought Alderman, locally
known as the wonder Giant" There
was a dispute as to whether the fight
was to be for four or six rounds and
while Silva was arguing the matter with
Jess Woods, manager of the perform
ance, Alderman smashed him in the
back of the head This started opera
tons Silva was "madder than wet
hen," while the big farmerlooking fell
low opposing him seemed badly scared.
Silva went at things in slashing order.
He wounded the wonder Giant" at
will. Although there had been an
agreement providing against hitting in
the clinches Alderman apparently for
got it. He hit in the clinches, wrestled,
and did everything but fight while Silva
battered him severely In the third
round things were lively: Silva pro-
tested against the alleged unfair tactics
of his opponent and his temper was at
white heat because the referee refused
to attend to the protest Finally he got
so mad that in nix-up he fell down
and allowed himself to be counted out,
while the wonder Giant" rushed away
thinking that he had won through
scientific fighting. Alderman was all
used up and whipped and the other man
was also whipped by his own temper.
HUIHUI vs.. MURPHY.
For the big six-round contest between
Murphy and Huihui the latter entered
at I36 pounds while Murphy was fifteen
pounds heavier. In clinch in the first
round both men fell to the floor. Hui
hui arose and tore the skin around one
of Murphy's eyes Huihui was active
and few heavy blows made his op-
ponent cautious.
In the second Huihui,s friends claim
ed that Murphy was using foul tactics
by hitting in the clinches Huihui was
floored twice and Murphy g2t him into
corner and pounded him severely. but
Huihui rallied and evened matters up
before the end OF the round. Murphy
was groggy but liuihui failed to take
the advantage.
In the third Murphy sent a lightning
blow to the law. Huihui was floored
time and again and then commenced to
play for time Every time he went down
he took the count and also kicked
against AIurpfy's hitting in the clinches.
Murphy objected to Huihui's methods
OF sitting down and hugging both the
formers legs.
The fourth was a repetition of the
third with Huihui on the floor most of
the time. At every tap he went down
and remained while Patton counted
nine. The same tactics were followed
in the fifth At the opening of the sixth
Murphy realized that he must put his
man out of business in that round or
