YOUNG ERNIE HAS BEST
OF MURPHY Ar BOSTON

Boston, Nov. 1S.-Young Erne of
Philadelphia beat Eddie Murphy of
South Boston in their 1O-round bout at
the Armory A A. Tuesday night, but
Dan Donnelly, the referee, called the
contest draw.
The decision was such surprise that
the crowd took it as a joke and "kld-
ded" Donnelly as it filed out Of the
club.
Erne beat Murphy three to one. In
only two rounds, the fourth and the
last, did Murphy have anything on the
Quaker City boy. In these TWO rounds
he Outslugged Erne. In the other eight
rounds Erne made Murphy look like
the raWest of amateurs. His lightning
left jab scored blow after blow on Muir
phys face without the Semblance of a
return. He danced a jig around Murphy
and the local boy couldn't reach him.
Murphy made a good, game showing,
nevertheless, and was not discredited
by being outpointed by boxer Of
years more experience. He tried to bull
his way through, but Erne knew too
much for hin, and invariably beat him
to the lead.

given out in Chicago during the recent
meeting of the National Association, to
the effect that the National Baseball

of the case.
