promising looA.ng boy. Why, that
sleeptown boy can use his hands for
any kind of punching. He can hit the
"one-two" blow with either hand to
the jaw or body or vice-versa at will.
He can jab like a fiend and the best
proof that his punches hurt was Muir
rays condition when the referee
stopped the bout. Murray soon would
have been absolutely helpless. This
Blum lad was in and out like a wasp,
shooting his blows from all sides, sell
dom missing. He's always as cool as
d cucumber. 1t seemed the more he
was pressed the better he became.
He's a fine bodied chap and seems
strong enough to take anything that
men of his class can give him.
He seemed never at a loss to know
what to do with his feet, head or hands
when danger threatened. That boy GER
tainly has the future Nelson predicts.
He uses n ither liquor nor tobacco. The
boys are rematehed to fight at the
Madison Club Washington's Birthday.
Murray was not satisfied with last
nights bout, so Joe Humphreys has
given him another chance.

For the benefit of a local sporting

was an injustice.

for another fight. Hugh Boyle, man

been running after Gross for the past
few weeks looking for another

be foolish to let Kurtz fight McClos-
key at his present weight. The latter
is far heavier, and 1t would be
sending the newsboy champion to
