Murphy Stays theLimit
With Welsh

Los ANGELES, Aug. 14.-Freddie
Welsh, the English lightweight cham
pion, was awarded the decision over
Johnny Murphy of San Francisco at the
end of 25 rounds. fought in the Jeffries
athletic club, Vernon arena, tonight
The fight afforded the greatest exhibit
tion of gameness ever seen in a local
ring, Murphy reeling through Is rounds
in groggy condition under a rain of
blows that cut his lips and nose to rib
bons and closed both eyes.
Welsh outc1asSed Murphy in weight,
strength and cleverneSs and in the
lade of terrific punches to the jaw and
stomach. Throughout the succeeding
Is rounds Murphy was all but helpless
and at the point of knockout 20
times but the English champion was
unable to tip him over, although rain
ing we'll timed blows all over his face
and body. Murphy was saved by the
bell In two rounds and bled copiously
from the face and mouth throughout,
but at the most unexpected times he
rallied and reached WelSh's face and
jaw. They slugged to a standstill in
the center of the ring and again and
again Welsh poised, rushed and butted
the weak 1riShman to the ropes.
Murphy brought cheers repeatedly by
his game rallies. A heavy fog settled
on the painted canvas and made the
footing so slippery that at times the
boxers could scarcely keep their feet.
Jake Arnold knocked out Sailor Har-
ry Sullivan in the second round of the
preliminary. Eddie Graney of San
Francisco refereed the main event.

King James Runs Fast
Mile at Saratoga
SPECIAL DISPATCH no rHE GALL


SARATOGA. N. Y, Aug liking
James, the brown 8 year old colt by
PlauditU Unsightly, owned by John E.
Madden, won the mile handicap today
in 1888. 1t was the fastest mile of the
meeting. King James had to concede
weight to two winners during the meet
ing. to Royal Tourist five pounds and
to Sir John Johnson IL pounds.
King James had to overcome big
lead which Sir John Johnson and Royal
Tourist had until the final furlong. The
start was not favorable to King James,
as Shilling was in the act of pulling
his horse away from the barrier when
It was released Sir John Johnson and
Royal Tourist opened a gap of four
lengths before King James was able to
catch his stride. The pace was terrific
from the start. Sir John Johnson,
favored by his light weight, showed the
way at great speed until swinging for
home. Royal Tourist raced second, a
length away, and four lengths in front
of King James. Inferno brought up the
rear, hopelessly beaten That the pace
makers were racing fast was evident,
but scarcely one of the horsemen real
iZed how fast the leaders were running

Vallejo Boxer

Terry Mustaine, the rising young
heavy weight who sprang into promi-
nence last month by laying Jack Twin
Sullivan low at Goldfield will make his
professional bow to the fight fans of
this city tonight at Roche's Colma
arena when he steps into the ring with
Joe Willis. the hard hitting heavy
weight from Vallejo, for a 20 round go.
The fight followers have been greatly
interested in Mustaine and are curious
to see him perform, therefore ii is ex-
pected that a big crowd will pack the
little pavilion this evening
On account of his victory over Sulli-
van and because of the touting from
MS admirers who have watched him
work out at his training quarters. Mus
talne rules pronounced 10 to shot
over Willis. This price was in order
last night. but it is believed that the

He is more formidable looking big

Thomas went nine lively rounds at his
