Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-12-02

ITO KNOCK his opponent for q goal
l. is the biggest ambition Of oil boxers.
And to see man rocked and socked for
q ten second wallop Is the sensational
spectacle a lot Of fans are enthuscd In
witnessing. However, there also are
lot Of followers Of the manly art who
care more for q clever exhibition.
A knockout usually causes . pande-
monte demonstration among the audi
ence, although there are times when a
drop Of q pin can be heard when a
happened here about four years ago
when Willie Jackson slowed away
Johnny Dundee in the first round. The
fans were 30 surprised to see the
Scotch Wop stretched on the mat that
they did not realize what had happened
until after the Anal count of ten.
A wild uproarous scene was the oc-
casion on Thanksgiving afternoon when
Joe Tipl;tz came within t,So seconds OF
knocking out Jimmy Murphy. Murph
was down taking the count, and 1t
looked very much as II the West Phila-
delphian would fail to get to his feet
before ten seconds. But as Referee
Tommy Keenan, was about to toll nine,
the bell sounded ending the bout, saving
Murphy from a knockout and inspiring
|
would have been able to regain his feet
before the count Of ten.
For seven rounds Murphy and Tip
litz had put on a nip and d.tuck tussle.
As ono ringside critic said, II hope
something breaks-this will be tough
decision to make" Then something did
break. Murphy was dropped for a count
shortly after the start Of the last round
and that gave Tiplitz the edge. Then
the second knockdown near the end OF
the bout almost made the decision
unanimous.
1t was the most sensational finish
ever seen in any bout in this city. The
crowd was up in frenzy and even
though Lew Tender appeared In The
next bout the fans were still talkin1
about the Tiplitz- Murphy mix. In
fact, they are still commenting On tho
hair raising conflict.
All of which has given Frank (Pop)
! O'f3rien the inspiration to restage
meeting between Tiplitz and Murphy
