PASSING OF ONCE
FAMOUS FIGHTER
George Dixon Lasts but Two
Rounds with Young
... Murphy.
New York Sun Special Service.

NEW 4ork Sun special service. .....-
Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-George Dixon, the
negro boy who for ten years was without peer
as a featherweight fighter, was knocked out last
night in the second round Of his fight with
Tommy Murphy. A left-handed swing full
against his stomach laid him out and for
nearly two minutes Dixon was in a state Dor
dering on inconsistencies.
Dixon was as slow a fat heavyweight, and
without strength enough to hurt boy. Be.
hind him was his old friend and adviser, Tom
o'Rourke, but even that ablest of pugilistic
generals could do nothing with man whose
vigor was gone. Before the boys had fought
half minute it was that the battle could
not last, and before the end of the first round
Young Corbett, Terry McGovern, Dick Barnard
and even Johnny Oliver, who managed Murphy
were shouting to the referee to stop the bout
Murphy was cautious in the first half of the
first round, and merely jabbed Dixon at will
Then, finding him to be without a clever move
either Of defense or offense, he started in t.
When the end came after one minute o.
fighting in the second round Murphy was un
touched few wild swings had been aimed a
him. few jabs aimed at his face had landed
on his chest. Then, as If he suddenly decided
to put an end to the farce, he tented witt
his right to the face. Dixon raised his arm
and Murphy sent his left against the stomach

Coach Amos Aolnzo Stage of the ma
rooms has invented a new football for
nation which he calls the "octopus.
Outsiders will take this as delicate
compliment to the Standard Oil friend
ship for the midway institution. The
nature of the play has not been dis
closed, but from the name it is sup
ball will get hold Of the opposing play
ers and hang on until the man with the
ball can make touchdown.
This sounds we'll, but it is hardly up
to Phil Kings new tunnel'' play. In
the latter the man with the ball stands
on his head, wriggles his legs and bores
into the earth under the struggling
lines, like mole, coming up behind tho
lines or back of the goal, as he sees
fit. The only defense against this is
to plant rows of piling at regular intre-
surface. 1t will be great when the COG
topus'' and the "tunnel' plays are
opposed to each other.
Perry Werden and Elmer Foster are
to get out Sunday afternoon at Mime
haha and show the young idea how to
knock the leather seff the ball. "A bee
should sting the 1.-TWO of then" for
such antics. az
