tie and what is more, a magnificent
contest, when Paul Kohler, OF Cleve'
land, aud Eddie Murphy, OF Boston,
clash.
At present the ownership OF the
weller title is in doubt. Ray Bronson
and Young Erne are about the only
welters who can make the limit-l42
pounds ringside Therefore, the match
between Kohler and Murphy is In a
way OF championship class, as the
winner can take equal rank with
Mike Gibbons and Erne. However,
until they defeat Gibbons or Erne
neither Kohler nor Murphy can hope
for recognition as welter champion,
The headliners for Monday fought
twelve rounds at Boston year and
a half ago and Murphy was given the
decision. According TO Boston critics
he fully deserved the verdict. That
victory for Murphy. however, should
not cut any wide swath in forecast
ing the coming ARRAY
Paul Kohler Is third again as
good a boy as he was when he boxed
the fastener before and he should
muss up Murphy. His advantage
probably won't be great because Muir

chance for decision is good one.
