THE PUCILISTS.
MURPHY WAS
 THE VICTOR
Chick Tucker Hung on to Save Himself - Bloody Eatt..e In New York Fake Fight In Boston.

Philadelphia. Feb 23.-Tommy Mur- phy of Harlem showed that he is featherweight to be bargained with by easily outpointing Chick Tucker of New York in six round bout before the National Athletic club, yesterday at. ternoon.
 In the first round Murphy carried the battle to his man. and all that Tucker did was to take liberal portions of pun ishment, and come back occasionally with wild blows, hoping that one would land.
 It was nearly o'clock when the bout began. Tucker started the ball rolling by rushing his man, but as he came forward Murphy jabbed him on the mouth. Tucker kept boring in and succeeded in jarry Murphy with a vicious swing. Murphy came back and let fly two stinging lefts, both of which took effect. The blows checked Tuck CTS speed, and he was inclined to clinch for while. When he came after Murphy once more Tommy al most capsized him with lefts and rights on the jaw.
 After exchanging left jabs in the sec ond round the pair wrestled to the ropes. Murphy then jabbed two lefts to the face and ducked right swing. Tucker swung almost continually, but none of his smashes landed.
 Murphy opened the third round by swinging hard right to the eye. In return he received right and left on the stomach. Tucker jabbed the face and swung the left to the body. He also uppercut Murphy, but was sent back several paces with two lefts on the mouth. Murphy kept his left going and Tucker had to sprint to keep out of danger. Murphy continued to mouth brought first blood. Near the close of the round Tucker swung two lefts, one landing on the wind. This was an even round. ;. .,
 Murphy continued to force things and in the fifth round Tucker held on with such tenacity that the referee was forced to part them. Murphy worked his left on the mouth and jaw and rocked Fuckers head. Tucker was full of fight, though, and planted a stiff left on the face. Murphy nearly fiopped Tucker with right crosA counter. He next planted the right under the heart and brought Tucker to a clinch.
 Murphy began the sixth round by jabbing the left to the face and swing ing the right on the ear. Tucker showed unsportsmanlike temper by throwing Murphy to the floor in a clinch. The trick looked like a foul, but Tucker was allowed to resume. Tommy evened up by swinging the left on the body and right on the mouth. Tucker landed two lefts on the body. but was staggered by a hard left oh the jaw. Murphy kept hammering Fuckers body and had the latter grog- gy with lefts and rights. Murphy rushed and sent Tucker reeling through the ropes with right swings. Tucker showed great recuperative powers. fighting back gamely: but two more rights made him clinch. Murphy tried to shove Tucker away, but the latter embraced for dear life. Before anoth. CT blow was struck the bell sounded and Tucker staggered to his chair.

 HOT SHOT
Replies to Jenkins Manager Says the Former Cham. pion Will Never Throw him Again In Any Ring.

The following letter from Frank Gotch sent to a New York sporting editor answers Tom Jenkins's mana ger pretty saucily:
 Dear Sir-In recent issue of your paper I note that Harry Pollok, man. ager for Tom Jenkins. has something to say about the wrestling match which Tom and had in Cleveland the other day and in which defeated him, retaining the title of American cham pion. Mir Pollok is pleased to raise the old cry of lack of condition on the part of Jenkins. One would judge from his comments that Jenkins was really a cripple when he faced me on the mat.
 Now as a matter of fact Jenkins was as good for that match as he is going to get in my opinion. unless he had an awful lot ID his sleeve when he went down to defeat. Bear in mind that Jenkins had been awaiting this match and the chance to turn the tables on me for some time. If he did not appreciate the imDOrtance of the affair and train to his best form it was not my lookout. He is q professional
 
 enough to know what it means. and I got right for the match. and am free to say that when before the match they asked me if I thought Tom was at his best when I defeated him in Rellngham. Wash. ] renlied thnt I did not know. but that I hOped he would he at his best when I met him at Cleveland.
 Three veors ago Jenkins did hull me down in Cleve'and. did not kick on lack Of condition then. Rnt over a wear apn. when we met in Relllnoham. had all the revenge wanted. and af. ter throwing s.Iensins fall had the satisfaction of, seeing him foul himself of the mat tQ a doubtful defeat. Jenkins did 5pot seem tn be satisfied. 50 I went riphf into Clevelond the last time. took a Cleveland man for referee and gave him the beating of his life. If he has recovered from it so quickly and thinks he wants some more of 1t he cnn have it any time he shows enongh money to make it worth while. Jenkins beat me once. hut he will never see the day he will down me again.
 will he in New York on the 23d for my match with Parr on the 24th, and if necessorv can talk this at closer ranoe with Mir Pollok.
 Meantime hold the American wrestling rhnr,nionshin tit'4.Y Nnf my man who thinks he cnn take it away f"nm me can have a"rinn for it, and this does not bar George, Harken- s"h'nidt. who I see is 10 make New York. shortly. and who defeated Jenkins abroad after defeated Jenkin in America.
 Honing to see vou personally shortly l remain. Yours truly.

JAPANESE BALL PLAYERS.

One of Uncle Sans naval officers, just returned from cruise in the far east, says that the Japs are rapidly mastering America's national game. ''The Japanese are great ball players. he says, 'and are true sportsmen. Even the umpire is safe over there. They never dispute decisions, and when the game is over opponents are treated with great hospitality. Teach CTS in their schools have been educated in American universities and probably introduced the sport in Japan. And the people have taken to it readily. The Japs are not good at football, be- ing too light, but they are much better than would be expected on the dia- mond. At fielding they are fine. If a fly is batted up the player might as we'll go to the bench. They are fairly good at the bat, but their great weak ness is in pitching. They haven't caught on to the tricks of the twirlerS yet. especially the curves.
 "When the Japs play they don't wear shoes. and their headgear Is q long Japanese tower. worn llke an o''l negro mamny wears bandanna. Their masks and gloves are made in Japan. In Tokio I have seen 10000 persons at a game. and every time q good play was made, no matter hy whom. they would all applaud. After d game we would be invited to join in a regular feast. at which the American and Japanese flags would he crossed, and everybody was made to feel like a hero.
 "The Japs are good ball players. but they are not as good as the Hawniians When our fleet put in at Honolulu a picked team from all the ships went ashore and played the natives, who beat us in a very close game"

A BLOODY BATTLE.

One of the bloodiest prize fights on record was pulled off in the back room of Nick Peppers saloon, at the corner of Thirty-sixth street and Third ave nue. Brooklyn. last night, and came near terminating fatally.
 Jack Mccarthy. middleweight mixed-ale fighter. was smashed on the jaw with a right swing by Larry Des mOnd in the fourth round and was only brought back 10 life by, vigorous work on the part of an unknown phy- sician who was passing by as the crowd of POO spectators broke out of the place in alarm
 Mccarthy and Desmond were an- nounced 10 battle for the championship Of South Brooklyn.
 It WAS to he to a finish for a side bet of 5000 and the gate receipts. Ki,l Levine was the referee and Billy Mag Fadden the timekeeper.
 If either man knew anything about boxing he evidently did not want the crowd to discover it. for they went at each other like tigers right from the opening bell.
 Mccarthy tired badly toward the
 
 the call for the fourth round.
 Desmond noticed the state of affairs and started right in to finish Mac. He was beating him terribly for a fuli minute. when Mac sought to olake one last desperate rally. He started rush over in his own corner, but never got as far as Desmond
 Larry made a fierce right hand swing just as Mac started for him. and Jack ran into it with his jaw with force enough to break the bone. Mccarthy fell dead to the world for the tinr being
 When he did not come 10 after tcu minutes the crowd got uneasy. ans. after fifteen minutes. with no sign os life from Mccarthy, the spectators stampeded.
