Boxers All Busy Now
Sending Challenges to
Owen Moran.

Since the defeat Of Battling Nelson
by owen Moran nearly all OF the light
weights and near-lightwelghts In the
ring have apparently lost sight OF the
fact that Ad wolgast of Cadillac Mich''
Is the real holder OF the lightweight
championship OF tho world. Now all or
those fighters who can-or who think
they can-make the lightweight limit
are hurting their challenges at owen
Moran. And, indeed. owen Is acting Tor
all the world as II he really were the
champion. Poor Adolph IL completely
sldetrncked'
First Tommy Murphy, the Pride or
Flatbush," hurried a challenge at Moran,
Tommy based his claim for recognition
on the fact that he defeated Moran In
/, ~twenty-round battle. Murphy an
nounced that he was willing and anx-
ious to repeat his Victory. and added
hat II Moran cared to make the dis
tanco longer Tommy was willing to
show how easily he could polish on tho
little Englishman In IA finish tight.
Moran replied that he VAS out for the
lightweight championship and he really
didn't see how ne could get It by beat
ing Murphy.
II think Tommy would be easy for
me-" said owen to his manager. Charlie
Harvey. Then Murphy was matched TO
box Pal Moore at the Empire a. c. next
Thursday evening.
