WI ILL Tommy Murphy be able to
w even up matters with K. o.
Brown Thursday night, wherI
they meet at the Whirlwind A. C. over
at the Clermont Avenue Rink in Brook
lynn That is what the fight fans want
to know and about 1000 OF them will
be or hand at the big Brooklyn club to
n out. 1t will be recalled that K. o.
Brown, then a shy youngster with no
championship bee buzzing In his bon
net. first Jumped into prominence by
trimming Murphy before one of the
local lubs. AT that time Tommy MUIR
ply was considered the most likely man
In the country to capture the light
weight title, and o. a matter of fact
he treated his bout with Brown as q
sort of joke n went into the affair
only half prepared and determined to
have the little matter over quickly. He
got the surprise of his life, and X. o.
Brown became q national character.
Since then Brown has gone forward
with wonderful strides, and Murphy,
If he is to wipe out the record of that
former battle, must whip a man who
has twice taken the measure In short
bouts of the worlds champion, Ad VOL
CAST. The pair was matched nee be-
fore for a return match, but Old One
round Malaria" knocked Murphy down
! md out and forced the calling off Of
the scrap. Now Tommy says he Is ready
for his revenge. He showed in his bat
tie with Packey Mcfarland, although
beaten by q much heavier man, that he
is fit and ready to hold his own with
any of the ~lightweights In the country,
and, like Brown, he is aiming towards
the lightweight championship.
A delegation of some 500 Philadelphia
fight fans have already Joined the
Whirlwind Club and secured their seats
for Thursday. These are some OF the
spectators who saw Brown get the de-
cision the first i'm over Wolgast in
the Quaker City, and they want to be
on hand when he really starts after the
title. So many Manhsttanites have
spoken for seats that II Gems likely
that the clubs capacity of 1000 will be
disposed of before tomorrow night, es-
p~ecially as there has been no raise In
prices by the Whirlwind management.
The West Side fight fans have an
other favorite, Johnny Mario, boxing
at the Twentieth Century A. c. tomor-
row night, and they are going to re-
peat their performance OF the Good
man aloney contest and travel UP to
the clubhouse in a half dozen sight
seeing autos. Mario is to box the boy
who defeated Packey Mcfarland last
January In Memphis, Tenn. Jack Brit
ton, of Chicago. Britton is being hailed
throughout the West as the coming
lightweight champion, as he can easily
do the ringside weight.
The card arranged by the match
maker of the Long Acre Club for re t
Thursday evening will bring together
Young F~itzsimmons, who recently de-
feated Joe Bayardo Brooks, Marty
Brown and boxed a draw with Jack
Leonard. of Philsdeluhia. Fi.zsi mons

Dillon. one OF the best men that New
Jersey has produced In years Dillon is
a STRAIGHT two hundred puncher. clever
and aggressive. and will make Fitzsim
