Tommy Murphy Was Used As a Punching Bag By the Former Champion and Was Quickly Beaten - "Twin" Sullivan Won.

Philadelphia, Oct 19-Terry Mo Govern demonstrated that he is agaln in his old form last night when he fin ished Tommy Murphy in one round, which lasted two minutes and two seconds, before the National Athletic club.
 After Murphy had been knocked down seven times by McGoyerns ter rife rights to the jaw Referee Jack McGuigan stopped the fight.
 Tommy did not land an effective blow. He seemed to be dazed from the effects of the fierce swinging blows that Terry kept pounding into him and reeled and staggered around the ring like drunken man. He was terribly outclassed, this being appar- ent from the start.
 McGovern still has his punch. When he entered the ring 1t was remarked that he looked rather pale and emaci- ,ated, but when he got into action ey- erything was forgotten in the amaze ment caused by his lightning blows, clever, swift footwork and the revival of his old-time form. The fight began at 11O3 o'clock. ..
 McGovern swung left to the face and then right to the stomach and Murphy's ear. Murphy swung left to the stomach and hooked left to the ear. Then they mixed it up in a clinch
 Murphy swung right to the jaw and left to the face. Then McGovern crossed with one of his old-time terri ble rights to the jaw and Murphy went down.
 The house was in an uproar. Mur- phy took the count to nine and got up, but McGovern was upon him like a cat and fioOred him again.
 Four times more McGovern sent Murphy to the floor, and when he would stagger to his feet Terry would bounce on him, raining blow after blow on him.
 After another right-hand punch flush on the jaw Murphy went down again, and before he could get up McGuigan jumped in between the boys and stop ped the fight, announcing that McGov- ern was the winner.
 The fight was won with the first right to Tommy's jaw. The younger man after that made the fatal mistake of trying to mix it up with Terry. Af- ter the referee stopped the fight Mur- ,phy had to be carried to hls corner and was in dazed condition for five rminutes afterward. q urw y1sor
