Jimmy clabbY Draws With Murray

Murray gamely stalled along, fight

cred the first ten rounds Then Clab-
by slowed up, and the coast young
ster came riding along with success
sion of solid punches, some of which
hurt the Hammond fash.
Clabby, too, was landing frequent
ly, but steam was lacking in the eff
forts and Murray was not halted. The
fourteenth and fifteenth rounds were
slow, both fighters laying back. In the
eighteenth Murray rallied and plung
ed into Clabby's defense. Jimmy bare
ly escaped a smashing right that car
ried disaster
Both boys tore loose in the last two
rounds, but Clabby could not keep
the pace up throughout. He covered
up to regain his wind.
The battle showed that Murray is a
good man, able and willing, with
laundering punch. But he cannot
land it effectively on clever man
like Clabby, even when his opponent
is not in the best condition.
CIabby, in proper form, should have
carried away an easy victory On
points. His defense was up to the
standard, but in attack he failed woe
