Farese-tfuFphy Fight Close
The Harold Farese-Willie Murphy
scrap was as pretty a boxing exhibit
ton as one would want to see. Both
men fought hard from h time of
the gong in the first round until the
end of the eighth and at the begin
ming of the last round the two feath-
erWeights had SO evened matters up
thai it was a question of eighth round
fighting to decide the winning.
Murphy, who has always. been
known to be among the best in this
section in the featherweight class,
proved his worth against Farese who
had his hands full at all times. The
Newark lads GOODNESS and ability to
send in blows along h zone, two
one, two" variety at. opportune times
were in his favor. Both were willing
to fight and both weighed in at 1928
pounds.
This bout opened UP with FNarese
allowing Murphy to do almost as he
pleased. Murphy took advantage Of
this opportunity won credit for
the round. In the second Farese
frightened up considerably and was
more careful of the chances he gave
Murphy. The two broke even in this
round. The third found Jarese show
ing some of the speed and form for
which he is noted and this was as
much his as the first was Murphy's.
Farese continued to shade Murphy In
the fourth while, in the fifth matters
were again made ever when Murphy
was credited with the round. The
sixth also was Murphy's by a shade,
while the seventh was vice versa. At
the beginning of the eighth 1t would
be almost impossible to give either
man the fight, as each a three
rounds to his credit while n was
even.
The eighth found both battling
hard, but Farese gained the credit Of
this three minute session by a slight
margin and earned the decision over
Willie by a shade. Many were sitisfied
to cal the bout a draw as both fight
ers were deserving of the storm of
applause which followed the end Of
their bout. Both seemed to be as
fresh at the end as at the beginning.
The last of the eighths was short
and sweet. Charley Weinert, after

during the first round, let fly an up
percut and straight jab to the chin
which foored Jack Clifford, of Brook
lyn, for the full count early in the
second round of their fight. Weinert
had the reach and seven pounds in
weight and it appeared as though he
could have landed the sleepmaker
early in the first had he wished to
rush matters. s
