MURPHY-CROSS

BY lad.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-Tommy Muir
ply and Leach Cross ripped and tore
through six OF the most hair-raising
rounds that have been seen in New
York since Peter Stuyvesant blew the
old farm on the Bowery.
In the opinion of the writer the bout
was a draw.
The Murphy rooters claim that their
man should have won for having
forced the fighting and followed the
other around the ring most OF the
time. The Cross men say that Leach
should have won because he had Muir
ply bad on one or three occasions
and did the most damage.
