MoL eAeT ANe MURPHY
 BATTLE TO A DRAM
FiarIenaite Had Better of Early Ses-. sions, but Former Champion Evened Up in Final Rounds.

San Francisco, Feb. 23-HarIen Tumny Murphy of New York and Ad l Welgast, former lightweight cham
 pten, fought twenty terrific rounds te 1 the. first ten rounds Murphy had the better of the battle, but he tired and WseIgast eyened affairs by fnidcting SC were body punishment as the fight neared the final round.
 Both men sustained considerable punishment and were weakening fast as the end drew near, Experts ex pressed the opinion that Wolgast has completely recovered from his opera ton of last year.
 The decisfon was popular.
 Wolgast literally fought himself to
 the point of collapse in the gruelling
 20 round battle. Murphy too, was
 tottering when the fight ended, but it
 was apparent that his reserve was
 greater than that of his antagonist
 Wolgast fought his best battle since his illness of two years ago, but the old time dash and stamina were lack ing. A systematic application of tre- mendous right and left drives to the body in the final rounds enabled Vol gast to earn a division of honors
 Throughout the twenty rounds there was little if any idle time Murphy took the bit in his teeth at the out set and it was not long before he had battered his oppon ent's face almost to pulp Rapid fire right and left
 LNNSN-tD dom went aIniss and when the con- test was half over the Ha.3emite seemed in fair way to win
 Wolgast for while was content to punches he landed on Mnrphy's body carried more force than those of the Harlemite- Wo1gast finally realized that his only hope lay in this dfrec- devoted his attacks almost exclusively to Murphys mid-section- Time and again after being worsted in heart brea King rallies which all but carried the beiligerentsNoutsf of the ring he would reach his opponents storn- ach with right and left smasres. the impact of which was heard in the re- motest corner of the Arena. Murphy could not escape these osaslaugf1ts, al- though they served only to accelerate his fighting spirit
 In the 18th round Wo1gast, fighting with the ferocfty of an animal at bay landed So freauent1y that Murphy wei oomed the sound of the bell, while Wolgast smiled to his friends about the ringside as best he could with his puffed face and split lips.
 The last round resolved itself into a question of the survival of the fit test Science was forgotten. The fighters battled all around the ring, head to head, shoulder to shoulder and slugged away as though the fight had just commenced, with Referee GIiffen -I 14l lt31et1iy t1s HE t0 pull lAS1H apart. Three minutes of this work found hem on the verge Of collapse with only the rope saving WoIgast from to the mat from. sheer ex- while Murphy was eagerly watching for the timer to c1ang his gong.
 With hesitation Griffen raised the hands of both men a1oft, and the ,rowd cheered- Both presented a bat cred appearance as they were hustled 0 their dressing rooms.

Los Angeles, Feb. 23-A deadly right
 swing four times repeated ended the scheduled 20 round bout at Vernon yesterday between Knockout, Brown, the New York lightweight, and Joe Rivers of Los Angeles with victory for the Mexican before the end Of the tenth. round. It was the first defeat Tor the blonde German, whose sebri- quets had been earned by the manner in which he had won scores of fights, and it was decisive.

 It was a sensational finish to fur ious encounter in which the Mexican

 Of milling dles to the fact that he fights left handed, was soon solved by
 Rivers, who blecked cleverly with el-
 bow and open glove. Browns best
 blow was a left drive to the body
 which he used effectively.
 Brown forced the fighting in nearly every round. but his open manner gave the Mexican many opportunities to pupfsh him about the head. Punish ment which would have stopped many only seemed to act as 8 spur to the customer s a3sre ressiveness.
 Brown began leading in nearly every round. Som etirnes Rivers would allow the German to do the fighting in -the first ninNte, only to cut loose with both hands at savage clip that clear 1y bewildered the New Yorker. as well as plInishing him badly. In the ciinehes Rivers had all the better of the milling.
 ] After taking hard drubbing for five rounds. Brown came back strong in the eighth. A vicious rally in the last 10 seconds by Rivers did not over come Browns lead in this round
 Both seemed tired when they came up for the tenth
 Brown sent two hard lefts to the head and right to Rivers stomach. The Mexican caught Brown on the point Of tie jaw as the latter tucked Brown went spinning hallway across the ring and fell heavily Four times he arose only to be sent down again. He was tout on his feet when the last savage swing sent him to- his back in the center of the ring and the fight was stopped
