MURPHY LACKED A PUNCH
Harlem Boxer Should Have Knocked
Out Young COrbett.
Far Superior TO the Former Cham
DiOn at All the Finer Points
of the Game.

New York, Jan. 10--Tommy Murphy s
clean-cut victory over Young Corbett IN
six rounds. at Philadelphia, Wednesday
night, was widely discussed by local
sporting men to-day.
1t was generally conceded that if Muir
ply had been able TO hit with even ordi-
nary power he would have stopped the
Denver pugiIist inside Of the limit As
Ccrbctt was pretty we'll tagged out in the
last two rounds, however. Murphy
friends insisted to-day that the Harlem
boy would have scored a knockout any
way if the battle had gone about fifteen
rounds.
In point Of scientific boxing Murphy
made his opponent look decidedly cheap
lie was faster. showed a greater amount
Of judgment and did all the work. He
knew that COTbett had practically one
good blow, right hand swing, and Dc
avoided II with cOusummate skill To
say that Corbet was anywhere near as
dt IS when be knocked McGovern out fivt
years ago would be simply downright un-
fairness.

PEACE WELCOME TO MAJORS
Tri-State In Fold Means Much to
the Big Leagues.
All American and National Players
Are Now Fully Under Control
OF the Magnates-

Whether it looks big or not, the Tri-
State League has been the biggest buga-
boo the major league boys have had TO
face for many a moon. Here is an in
stance: Last season Jimmy Sebring got
sore AT the Cincinnati club and wanted
to spend more time at home They
couldn't afford to spare him. But Jimmy
had a recourse. He simply defed the
baseball law, went over into the Tri-State
League. sisned a contract, and continued
his profession.
There are dozens Of ceases which are
duplicates Of Sebring's. That is why the
Tri-State League worried the big moguls.
They had the baseball world by the tail
and a downhiH pull until this little out
law b0bbed up. and then they had TO get
busy.
Things rocked along nicely for a while
for the Tri-State. Several millionaire
manufacturers wanted baseball. and were
willing to pay the salaries, whether the
public supported the game or not. This
was all right for a while, but there had
10 be an end. II came this week.
The managers in the outlaw organiza-
tiOn found that the millionaires would not
always support the outlaw players, and
they began an effort 10 put the league on
q paying basis. This was a hard Job
The only thing left open 10 them was 10
set under the national protection, be-
come "a legitimate organization, and quit
preying on the major league ranks They
also had 20 cut down salaries.
The national commission saw a chance
20 end the long war. and promptly de-
ciGed 10 take them IN the fold. as did
the National Association Of Minor League
baseball Clubs. In this the Tri-State won
a signal victory. They get the protection.
and stiH have a right TO hold on 10 their
players.
The fellows left with the bag to hold
are the contract jumpers from the big
leagues. For life these fellows are SEN
fenced TO serve in the little reformed out
law organization. Every player who
jumped the big leagues and went 20 the
I Tri-Stata has 10 remain there for life
The men they picked off IN their raid on
the minor leagues viii also remain with
them
The point scored by the major leagues
I was the annUlIing of all contracts by
/ players with the Tri-State who were re-
I served by the big leagues. These players
/ have got 10 report 10 their respective
clubs or quit the game
! Now do YOU understand why the Tri-
state League vas an organization that
/ made the big leaguers sit up and take
/ notice?
