THE PUGlLlSTs
SPIKE ROBINSON
 FOUGHT FAST Tommy Murphy No Match For the Englishman - Dougherty l.
 Matched.

Philadelphia, June 26.-Fighting him at his own game of rough house work under straight rules, Spike Robson of England last night easily defeated Tommy Murphy of New York in terrific six round battle before the National Athletic club. It was Robson from bell to bell of every round, and Murphy several times was hanging on to save himself
 Robson used a stiff left jab to vary his shower of hard rights to the face and lefts to the body. Murphy displayed no blow which might have been classed as effective. On the form he showed last night it was ex- tremely lucky for him that he de- clared off his fight with Matty Bald win, for puncher like Baldwin would have easily knocked him out inside the limit.
 Baldwin, who stopped off on his way west with Johnny Mack and Young Donohue, challenged the win ner.
 Robson was the first to enter the ring. He was seconded by Lew Bailey, Ike Bradley, Willie Reynolds and Buzzard Ingraham. Murphy fol- lowed few minutes later. He was looked after by Frank Erne, Johnny Oliver and Al Grienfield. Jack Mo Guigan was referee.
