WHIPPED IN 40 SECONDS.
Knockout Brown Makes Short Work
of Tommy Murphy.


New York, May 26.-"Knockout"
Brown, the little East side lightweight,
stopped Tommy Murphy, of Brooklyn,
Thursday night in 40 seconds of the
first round of a bout scheduled to go
10 rounds before the Madison Athletic
club.
There was no preliminary 'sparring.
The men went together with a rush, the
awkward Brown letting loose and
swinging his right hand for the ribs.
Murphy poked out his long left and for
a moment Strengthened up Brown
Knockout, however, carried the fight to
Murphy, rushing him along the ropes
to neutral corner. Both men clinched
and exchanged rights and lefts to head
and body.
Breaking away, Brown again rushed
and catching Murphy wicked right In
the stomach, brought him down almost
to his knees. Quick as a flash Brown
ripped in a wicked left uppercut fairly
on the long protruding chin Of Muir
ply and down he went with a crash.
Murphy fell like a plummet, but
quickly rose to his feet, not waiting the
referees count. Brown was at once
upon him again, and with terrific
right to the head and another left up
percut he again fIoored the Brooklyn
man.
There was no need now for the count
Murphy was out and Brown, a moment
later, was on his way to his dressing
room.

q throw made by Jack Flanagan, left
fielder of the Dolans of the Cleveland
baseball league. The throw is consid-
erably longer than that made by Lee
1eune, now with Chattanooga, a year
ago. The most remarkable thing
about Flannigan's heave is that It
cleared the trees along the boulevard
drive and sailed straight into the
catcher's hands in time to catch the
man who had hit the ball, at the
plate.
Flannigan's throw occurred at EDGE

KERNs SIGNS WITH HOLLAND.
BaclstOp Released by Kaws Catches
on With st. Joseph.

b Butch" Kerns, the catcher released
by the Kaws. went over to st. Joseph
yesterday and last night accepted Hol-
lands offer and signed his contract.
Holland needed a backstop badly and
Kerns most likely will make him good
man as long as the club goes good.
Butch thinks it a crime to play on IL
losing club and that a player is never
given credit for his own good work as
long as a club loses. Neither last sea-
son or this has Kerns been of any ser
vice to the Topeka club and his absence
will not cause regret. He is a good
enough mechanical catcher but he
couldn't work his pitchers right.

engagement was the taking of Ala.

miles east Of here, on the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient.
Feeling secure in their numerical
strength, and the fact that the gar
rison at Chihuahua is busy with its
own troubles, the young men showed
their lack of military experience by
posting no sentries or outposts. A
band of $50 federal soldiers and 100
Yaqui Indian volunteers fell upon the
sleeping rebels at daybreak on April
1 and slew SO of them where they
lay. The Indians then shot up the
town, and in this exploit killed sew.
