WOLGAST DRAWS
WITH HARLEM LAD
Murphy Takes Lead in Opening
Rounds, but Michigan Boy
Finishes Strong.

San Francisco, Cal, February 22-
Tommy Murphy and Ad. WolSast en-
gagged in twcnty-round bout that was
repletc with action at DAILY City this
evening, and at the close Referee Jim
Griffin promptly declared 1t a draw.
The men were boxing ficrcely within
a few minutes after the sound of the
starting gong of the opening round.
They boxed breakneck pace In every
round that followed and they wero still
boxing when the halt was called. As
Ia matter of fact Griffin had TO pull
them apart from Il savage rally In or
der to render his decision. The fight
was notable for the degree of action
crowded into 1t. There were a few
straight punches. but in the main IT
was a duel between "a couple of rootcrs
who pinned their faith to upper cuts.
For many rounds 1t looked AS though
Murphy was getting the better or
things. Wolgast's lips were puffed and
he went to his corner after each spell
of fighting. his face dabbed with blood.
The reason for this was that Murphy.
