bSNer are still in the running
one OF the surprises OF the even
ing was the remarkable showing Of
Sammy Eeksteln. one OF George
Green's Olympic club pupils. against
Tommy Murphy. national ia5-pound
champion OF Kansas City. The
San Francisco lad put up game
and headv battle against the title
holder. and the crowd voiced its
disapproval when Murphy was
awarded the decision after three
rapid.fire rounds. Under the anna.
teur rules the Judges have no right
TO call for extra rounds or draws.
and as both figured the Kansas City
} boy had a slight advantage. they
were forced to turn In their slips
for him. altho the affair was even
enough TO have been called a draw
under the four.round semi-pro rules.
