return blows Of the sledgeharnmer. vari-
ETY.. In the fifth round Barry caught
Murphy with two punches ON the solar
plexus. Murphy's mouth opened wide.
He had finished. Barry drove him into
his corner and hammered him AS fast
as Murphy would raise himself from a
crouching position on the ropes in the
corner Barry got him. 1t was plain
that he was done. Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth made move as if to stop
the fight and then Referee Jack Weday
gave the decision to Barry. Murphy
was licked and acknowledged it by
staying quietly in the corner while the
victorious Barry was rushed away to
his dressing rooms by his seconds. 1t
was Barry's fight from the third round
and in his dressing room Barry's COM
ment after the fight was: 1T was a
good fight" It meant that Barry had
had tough tussle.
The men agreed to break at the com
mand of the referee. The opening of
the first round showed that Murphy
was as quick as lightning. He started
matters by giving Barry a careless rap
on the head and some swifter and hard |
er blows to the same spot. Barry gave
him right punch in the jaw and in |
return Murphy swung twice to Barry's |
head. Murphy did the leading, deliver |
ed practically all the blows that count |
ed, and only got blows in return on /
counters. The round was Murphy's.
The second round opened with very
fast interchanges, give and take, Muir
ply being ON the aggressive, but Bar
ry found his wind and seemed to be the
stronger.
The sounding of the gong at the end
of the third saved Murphy from "a
knockout. During the early portion of
the round Murphy was on the agrees
sive. He battered Barry at will, pound
ed him all about the head, and many
people thought that the young Irish
man had lost his wind and would lose
the fight. But Barry partly turned and
wlnked at his seconds. Then he waded
in. He had learned that he could take
Murphy's hardest blows on his head and
neck without very much injury. He
drove uppercuts to Murphy's head in
the speediest possible manner and ,
swung on him repeatedly. He drove
Murphy all about the ring. The latter
apparently lost his wind. his speed was

gong Barry had him all but knocked 9
out. !,
In the fourth Barry pounded Murphy
at will. He administered a fearful S
drubbing. Although Murphy did some i
clever blocking he was unable to give Il
anything effective in return to Barry ;
for the fearful blows he received ana
only by clinching was able to stay
through the round.
People expected a knockout when Ii
the gong sounded for the fifth. Barry 6
was confident, yet neither of the men :.
a appeared to have much steam. Muir =
ply blocked a few blows but got many
which he could not protect himself t,
from. Barry then got in two stomach a
punches which took all the heart out :,
of the Australian. The latter was
forced into his corner and unable to d
do any effective work, was hammered az
to a finish. Under the rain of swings o.
and upper cuts he dropped slowly
down and on rising got the same as IL
before. For perhaps twenty seconds &;
Barry punched his man in a lively le
way. Murphy had no more fight in | I'll
him. 1t was then that Weday rushed sT
in and stopped the fight He pushed 70
Barry out and declared him the win M

the fercest fights of his life, had taken 70
