BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BoxINGt
Murphy Claims He Is Better Than
/; Charlie White.

Jimmy Murphy affects to be peeved
because fight followers have made
Charlie White the choice over him in
their fight for Dec. IA, in Kenosha.
Murphy advances facts and figures
to show. he is every bit as good a
fighter as White, and possibly little
bit better Jimmy plans to prove this
contention with his mitts when he
gets White into the ring.
Murphy, however, is basing his
claim on old dope, He is leaving out
the sensational showing of White in
his recent fights with Willie Richie
and Freddie Welsh, and going back to
IL months ago, when Johnny Dundee
got decision over the Chicagoan in
New Orleans. 1t is a different White
now.
The impending New York fight be-
tween White and Young Shugrue is
one of the really big battles of recent
months. 1t is the toppiest card
among the ightweights since Welsh
took Ritchie's title on a 20-round de-
cision in London.
Both boys base their claims to con-
sideration as top-notchers on the
same facts. Each has whipped
Welsh in ten-round bout, and each
won by about the same margin. Eth.
er would have been title holder now
if decisions were permitted in the ten
round affairs.
Whether either will be able to show
enough in ten rounds to gain unques-
toned supremacy is doubtful. Both
are good miIlers over the distance,
and willing and anxious to mix. 1t
means lots of good fighting of the
wildcat variety.
Should the fight be an even affair
a 20-round New Orleans go between
the two is a certainty, and the winner
undoubtedly will get a chance at
