Vicious Draw Which Men
Fought Last Night Leaves
Superiority in Doubt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-Another
fight between One-Round Hogan. of
California. ana Tommy Murphy. the
New York lightweight, was talked of
today. in consequence OF the draw de-
cision which was given last night. after
the boys had battled twenty rounds.
It was expected that the fight would
end deoisively and hat the winner
would get a chance at Ad Wolgast. the
titleholder. Hogan started off stronger
than his opponent, but Murphy's
strength and skill prevailed during the
latter half. The decision satisfied all
who saw the fight.
From the start Murphy showed
a desire for infghting and the referee
was kept busy forcing the men apart
Murphy hit we'll In the clinches but

ALLENTOWN'S FRANCHISE
HOPES ARE SHOCKED.

ALLENTOWN. Pa. Feb. L-word
from Albany arrived here yesterday
to the effect that the Allentown delega-
ton was unsuccessful in purchasing a
York State League franchise at the
meeting of the managers OF that cir
cult In Albany. The FAM in Bingham
ton protested vehemently against the
selling of that city's franchise. and a
long conference ended without result.
The result is that the hope of getting
a York State League franchise for AL
lentown is about gone. and negotia-
tons will be started to get into the
Tri-State.

On good authority it is stated that
H. Clay Smith may become financially
interested in the Terre Haute Central
League Club. He mas been interested
indirectly for some time in the Gen.
trail League Club. and has turned sew
eral players in the Terre Haute Clubs
direction. among them Nee and Can't
well.
The story has never been told how
Smith took Walsh and n or two
other recruits from the Cubs in the
name of the Newark Club and covered
them for Terre Haute.
Owner Wagner, of the Terre Haute
Club, wanted Walsh, but the player
limit in his league prevented him from
taking any player from Chicago. Smith
came to his aid and took Walsh and
two companions for Terre Haute In the
name of the Newark Club. and as soon
as Terre Haute got ready he turned
them over. Smith lie pretty shrewd in
baseball matters.

TO REVISE BOXING RULES
Five Countries Likely to Join
Issue on Mooted Questions.

According TO a letter received by the
State Athletic Commission from Paul
Rosseau, president Of the Federation or
French Boxing Clubs, it is probable that
the proposed international commission for
the regulation OF boxing will include Dem
mark and Switzerland, as well as Eng
land, France and this country.
Rosseau said that the National Sporting
Club, of London, had intrusted him with
the task OF revising the rules, and that
he was at present working on set and
was waiting TO receive the suggestions
Of the New York commission lie be-
lieved that there would be no difficulty I'm
arriving at an understanding with regard
to the rules.
The commission devoted the greater
part OF the afternoon at its weekly meet
ing yesterday to the framing of new
rules, which will be given out shortly.
The Albany Athletic Club complained
that Mickey Devine had received money
for expenses and had failed to appear on
the date he was scheduled TO box, while
the Washington Athletic Club, of Brook
Ign, was accused Of violating some rules
Of the commission. The defendants are to
appear at the next meeting.

it was too early TO think OF allottins

some other week would have TO be se-
