In fact, Murphy, after being the re

was only a fash in the pan. for Packey
came back all right and had the better
of the sixth and final round, although
his advantage in this last rally was not
as marked as in the earlier rounds.
The bout, while interesting. was not
as fast as the followers of the boxing
game had anticipated that It would be,
probably for the reason that both men
fought cautiously
Clever But Weak.
In the final period Mcfarland pushed
Murphy through the ropes, causing him
TO sit down hard with his legs over the
lower ropes, and that was the only time
during the contest that either man lost
his feet. Mcfarland did most OF the
forcing, pushing Murphy to the ropes

than slaps, but he showed himself to be

Murphy's blows had considerable
steam behind them. and when they
landed they hurt Mcfarland found

times in this round, and Packey seemed
tired when it was over. But youth and
condition brought him around as good
as ever for the final period.
Mcfarland started the blood from
Murphy's nose in the second round, and

For four rounds Tommy tried in vain

very low and bore IN with his face COW

not seem 10 be able TO solve this de-

The spectators, while agreeing that It
was good fight, seemed a little dis
