Harlem Tommy Murphy, in the
fight game for IA years, gets his first
chance at the lightweight title to-
night when he meets Willie Richie
over the twenty-round route in San
Francisco.
Weight conditions, age and length
of continuous training all combine to
handicap the challenger who has
reached his goal too late. Murphy has
been one of the best men in the game.
He has fought steadily and honestly,
always doing the best he could When
he seemed about ready for the cur
tains he has come through with a
whale of scrap and forced consid-
Grafton for his claims.
Richie is a heavy and logical faV-
orite. He is fresh and should not tire
as the fight dTags on. After the tenth
round he should sail out in front cas-
lily and is liable to wear the New
Yorker down and put him out, any
time after that. .
Bud Logan and Bert Stanley
fought a fast ten-round draw in Fond
du Lac. Logan got lead in the early
rounds, but could not hold it in the
face of Stanley's rushes.

Feds Draw Two Big crowds-Ganes
Close-Benz Also Is Right.

Lively 1CdIu1S VI IhC COCAoA
League opening in Kansas City yes
terday was encouraging. In the first
place, the Chifeds won. And the
crowd numbered 5000, just 1000
more than saw the opening game of
the American Association in Kay See.
George Tebeau's Blues were put
ting on an opposition attraction to
the Feds yesterday, and were showed
under as regards patronage. Though
he made the occasion ladies day, but
500 people struggled into the park to
watch Tebeau's hired men contest
against Minneapolis.
Both Federal teams played good
ball. They appeared evenly matched,
as has each of the other new teams
in the games played to date. That
means the patronage can be expected
to continue clicking the turnstiles.
Considering their strangeness to
each other, Tinker's gang appeared a
good machine. They did everything
that was expected, and the only er-
rors were committed by the manager
himself. Farrell, Zeider and Beck, the
other members of the infeld, played
the game up to the hilt.
ZwilIing, WickIand and FIack, the
outfielders, acted like real gardeners,
furnishing the attacking power.
Zwilling soaked three hits and the
other two got pair each. Art Will
son whaled the eighth Chifed bingIe.
Both teams played intelligent ball.
They did not commit any false moves,
and appeared to be using their heads
as well as their hands and feet.
The pitching was excellent. Claude
Hendrix, who is expected to fight
Tom Seaton for the honor of leading
the league, jammed the brakes on
when StoVall's gang threatened, and
except in the eighth inning, when
Kay See scored its two runs, was only
hit safely twice.
