Hagen Is Knocked
Out bv Substitute

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Going on as
a substitute last night for Gunboat
Smith, Battling Levinsky made good
by knocking out Ed Hagen in the
seventh round of a 10 round bout.
Not in the best Of shape and conced- :
ing nearly 20 pounds to Hagen, Levin
sky made solid impression with the
fans by the manner in which he han
died his opponent. Levinsky out
boxed his man throughout, and in the
seventh he put over the sleep producer
in artistic fashion.
Smith, who was originally scheduled
to box Hagen, withdrew from the
match as result of a damaged optic,
which he received in his bout with
Sam Langford.

Americans Design
Two Racing Yachts

Every one is pleased that two yachts
have been ordered for the defense of
the Americas cup and that some hot
racing is assured in the preliminary
trials. No one doubts tha tthe two
yachts will be got into the finest rae
ing trim. Thus the chances Of the
famous old trophy remaining in this
country for alonger period in spite of
the attack of Sir Thomas Upton seem
brighter. The two yachts now under
way will represent the very best
talent in designing and building in
this country. erreshoff has for years
been regarded as the premier de-
signer. Since the days of the Vigilant,
in 1903, he has designed and built
every defender and the yachts easily
have outsailed the chaIlengers, built
by Watson and Fyfe. erreshoff has
progressed and always has kept ahead
of other designers.

Ritchie Agrees to Weight
Compromise and Murphy
Prepares to Come West
BY WILLIAM J. SLATTERY

- - - s~SAA ~s~ SA~AA = ASA~
Rather than lose chance to get
Harlem Tommy Murphy in the ring
on the night of December 10, and in
cidentally pick up small sized for
tune of $4,000, Lightweight Cham
pion Willie Ritchie and his manager.
Harry Foley. yesterday afternoon
agreed to compromise on the weight
proposition. The title holder will
weigh in at 135 pounds one hour be-
fore entering the ring.
The original agreement between
Foley and Jim Buckley acting for
Murphy, was 135 pounds two hours
before. but the New Yorker had a
change of heart a couple of days ago
and wired out that Ritchie would
have to make 135 pounds ringside or
else the match would be called off,
This surprised everybody.
Promoter Jim Coffroth was very
much unnerved, and he insisted upon
an immediate settlement, which he
got Foley and Ritchie were promptly
on the job at o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. After a little dickering and
haggling. Coffroth put the compro-
mise up to the manager of the cham
l..
Then the match was on again.
The promoter in the meantime kept
hitting the wires to New York in an
effort to get Buckley to accept the
compromise. Buckley stood pat for
awhile, but at last he gave In. This
business was transacted even before
Foley kept his date with the pro-
moter, so, when Foley gave his con-
sent, Coffroth wired Buckley again
and everything was all right.
MURPHY STARTS TOMORROW
The New York fighter and his man.
ager will depart for this city tomor-
row morning and will arrive on
Wednesday. Murphy will at once pitch
his tent over at Billy Shannon,s place
in San Rafael and there prepare for
the most important battle of his ca
reer. He is said to be in pretty good
shape right now. having taken part in
several short bouts recently.
The champion does not intend to do
any work till the first of the month.
This will give him nine days in which
to condition himself. Ritchie is one
of those fighters who can whip him
self into shape very quickly, and as
the weight for this battle looks handy
enough for him it does not appear as
though he will lose much time in
worrying about it.
