WALTERS WALLOPs MURPHY
First Show of Series to be Given in
Kenosha Fails to Draw Record Break
ing Crowd and Bouts are Entirely
Within the Laws of the State.

Pal Moore of Philadelphia in the ten
round 60 between the two boys at the
Coliseum on Thursday night, but he
won by the narrowest of margins ard
the crowd was about equally divided
in picking favorite after the battle
was over. White did all the leading
and was entitled to better than IN
even break, but it must be said that
Moore was not fighting. He worked as
if he was all tired out and while the
blows he landed had steam and lots
of it he did not seem to get into the
game. His famous left hand lead was
brought into play less than dozen
times during the ten rounds and only
once did he show his real fighting
form. This was in the sixth round
when he gave White more than the
Chicago boy could send back. White
did all the leading, but it was appar
emit to every one about the ringside
that White would have to go a long
way before he became champion.
Moore simply loafed through the ten
rounds, willing to accept little pun
ishment from White with the reward
of getting a half a dozen clean cut
punches at him.
The final bout was nowhere as good
as the semi-windup between Billy Wal
tiers of the Naval Training School and
Stock Yards Tommy Murphy of Chi
cago. The "stock yards" was in bad
from the time Billy landed his first
lab in the first minute of the fight
and Murphy was fortunate to stand Up
under the bombardment for the full
eight rounds. Walters was fighting
wild at that and he could not land any
thing hard enough to put sleeping
powder to Murphy.
Mike Berghoff, Chicago boxer,
mixed with Fred hetzner of Cleveland
in a six round go and got good lac
ing for his troubles. George Horton
of Denver had the best Of Joe Litus
of Waukegan in the first preliminary.
Horton led by such big margin that
Referee Ed. E. Smith stopped the boys
at the end of the third round.
To the promoters the show was
something of a disappointment as the
crowd was not greatly in excess OF
1900 people. The crowd from Chicago
was not over 400 and there ware lot
of the high priced ringside seats va
cant. One woman sought admission to
the Coliseum for the battles and she
was promptly stopped by the police.
