TROM California comes the interest
ing news tina Tommy Murphy has
been matched to fight Al wolgast
IN San francisco on Dec. Il. The most
Interesting part OF It Is that Dec. 10
comes after Thanksgiving Day. and on
Thanksgiving Day Murphy meets Paekey
Mcfarland. RS my opinion that when
Packey gets through with his job there'l

anybody.
The funny thing about II is that VOL
CAST for a long time has shown rare
determination In refusing Murphy's adj
vances. He said he'd never. never,
never give Tommy a chanc at the title.
Murphy trimmed him In Pittsburg just
before he won the championship. and
Wolsast didn't forget the punching he
took on that memorable occasion. But
X. o. Bro n Knocked Murphy out In
less than a round. and now. somehow
or other. the champions state Of mind
with regard to Murphy has changed en-
tireIy.
Another funny thing-both Murphy
and Mcfarland were In San Francisco.

trail for months. wolgast-McFarland
would draw. It's very likely, twice as
much money a. wolgast-Murphy Why
didn't Ad make a match with McFsr-

after the Murphy match wolgast may

This 10 q wise provision wherever q

caught fire while the game was going

the crowd about half way to the top of

rush away from the IRE. Men threw

q statement concerning X. o's training
performance yesterday. Morgan ayers
that X. o. knocked out three sparrins
partners.
Says Morgan: II rever have much n
say about Brown. as his lighting talks
for him. and what's the use of wasting
your breath when X. O. can do the
publicity stunt 80 much better with his
fsts the way he did to-day when hi
boxed three sparring partners. thos,

him too well and don't like TO get theil
