TOMMY MURPHY came back last
night and gave Willie Beecher a
thorough beating at the Olympic
Club. During the entire session h
Flatbush real estate owner did nothing
but wallop the husky little east slider
all over the ring. Beecher didn't have
a look-ip>in any one of the ten rounds.
He was on the receiving end, but he
took all that was coming to him like
the game little fellow he is. He was
willing to fight and did the best he
could, but he was not in the same
class with Murphy last night.
Knockout Brown, who took Murphy's
measure at the same club two weeks
ago, was one of the front-row specta-
tors.
Beecher could not get away from
Murphy's left hand. Tommy would jab
with it and willie's head would snap
back; then he would hook it and it
never failed to leave a mark or close
an eye; then he would uppercut with
it to the body as Beecher came tear
ing in. Beecher must have thought
Murphy possessed a hundred lefts. for
not once was he able to get out Of the
way of it. In the second alone Beecher
managed to land one geod blow And
hat one slam will keep Tommy Muir
ply from fighting again for at least
six weeks. 1t was a wicked right hook
to Tommy's left ear.
With a view to reviving the opposi-
ton to prize-fghting in California,
which was started at the time of the
Jeffries-Johnson contest, ]. E.. White,
counsel for the SAN Francisco Church
Federation, yesterday addressed a let
ter to District Attorney Finckert, as
sorting that the law was violated by
the Nelson-Moran fight last Saturday.
District Attorney Finckert said that if
the law was violated by promoters and
principals of the Nelson-Moran fight
the lawyer for the Church Federation
could swear out complaints. Mr.. Fine
kert intimated that he personally would
take no action.
Cy Smith, of Jersey City. won from
Terry McGraw, of Baltimore, in the
sixth round of a scheduled ten-round
bout in Albany last night. McGraw
refused to continue the fight after his
claim of foul was ~disallowed by the
referee.

West, whom Con O'Kelly. Tommy
Ryan's protege. recently met in a
slashing go at Utica, had his shoulder
dislocated in the second round of a
second battle with O'Kelly in Syracuse
last night. Griffin concealed the
gravity of his injury from his seconds
and went on for two rounds more.
Early in the fourth round. while

ring, the negro's seconds threw up he
sponge
