Workers have been waiting for n long
time. and the bridge will have a new
rush hour especially for the occasion.
The Clermont Rink will probably hold
q record breaking crowd.
That n former meeting between
Brown and Murphy. az the olympic a.
c.. va a corker. For ten rounds the
two plugged along at top speed. Brown
v gave Tommy n chance to stay on
n spot long enough to warm It. II
was a hustling fight from tho tart.
Now and then Murphy stung Brown
hard. but the tow-headed little game
cock only rushed more f~iercely. There
was steam behind the punches. yet
Brown tossed them of. And X. O.'s
famous left went through Tommy's
careful guard and landed with many

that Brown FIST showed n good right
hand as well as "A left. and this con
tributed TO Murphy's defeat. The unex-
pected right upset all calculations. II
was in Tommy's face half the time.
There was a snap In it-a bruising ef-

Johnny Oliver. who r. one OF the most,
truthful managcrs-Ili 40 farther and
ssy one Of the most truthful mcn-I
