A. c., of Brooklyn, when he beat
Brown in every round except the fifth.
Fommy's solution of the hitherto dff-
ficult problem was carefully thought
out. Tommy knew he had it and pro-
ceeded cautiously that way. He picked
out that strong Young Terry as a spar
ring partner to fight him with his
right hand out and pictured Terry as
Brown every day. He finally conclud-
ed that it was useless to rush the
strong and willing Brown, whose very
awkwardness made his defence almost
i~npregnable. Murphy's idea was to
let Brown rush at him and as he cam
forward to step back just enough to
shoot a right uppercut with all the
force at his command straight TO
Browns jaw. Tommy was consistent
ly successful in landing that blow.
Brown found he could not get away
from the wallop because of his very
style n became furious. Toward the
end of the fight Brown just rushed,
seemingly unaware of what he was
doing.
Murphy beat Brown at everything
except aggressiveness. We credit
Brown for that, and his gameness and
ability to take punishment, but Muir
ply was the master mechanic. He can
beat Brown almost any time he starts
against him provided his health is
good. Tommy was all that could be
desired physically last night, and
Brown vas in grand shape.
It was a bout full Of action, showing
a strong young boxer who was trying
TO keep a clever boy on the run all
the time, and that clever boy on the

openings. At the close of the bout
Browns face showed the battering he
got. Murphy was unmarked.
The Murphy of last night would
make Ad Wolgast go some in a limited
round bout.
1t was apparent in the first round that
the bout would be a good one, for Muir

wal shown as Brown rushed at him,
Tommy took a big lead in the second
round. He was getting inside of most
of Browns swings and was shooting his
uppercuts constantly.
Suddenly, In neutral corner, Brown
let go a blow to Murphy's jaw, Tommy
returned a right that toppled Brown
against the ropes, crouched up.

Knockout" with rights and left to the
Jaw hat were short, snappy and power
full. but the equally powerful Brown,
where another lightweight would have
been out. managed to wriggle out of
his predicament to a clinch and stalled
until tho danger had passed. Brown
had a narrow escape.
The third was an even round. with
Brown rushing and Murphy meeting
him with those uppercuts. both from a
distance and in close, when they got
into the clinches.
In the next round Murphy rushed
Brown so hard at one point that tho

ropes.
A terrific left to the body worried
Murphy in the fifth round, after Brown
had been leading for half the distance.
Murphy was worried, but at the close
Of the round he came back Sc furiously
with a series of uppercuts that he al
most evened things up.
Browns great aggressiveness was
more evident than ever in the sixth, but
Murphy was there to meet him all the
time with his uppercuts. Brown landed
some hefty rights that Murphy was not
looking for. but Tommy managed to
land some stiff straight rights that
made Brown grow rougher.
At the start of the seventh round it
could be seen hat Murphy was grow
ing stronger, n he let go full force
at Brown. whom he had bleeding in a

from this point to the end, with Brown
doing all the rushing and Murphy
meeting his uppercuts and going into
ciinches ~cleverly when Browns dashes
were too strong for him. 1t seemed
that Brown was a bit tired in the ninth
and tenth rounds. for Murphy banged
and belted him with his right hand in
close in telling style and X. o. seemed
a bit less able to mix than he had been
all along.
