Just as soon as his main event
troubles were safely out Of the way
matchmaker Erwin turned toward
the semi-final and at the present IL
seems as if the real difficulty IS
going to be here as he has a number
bouts.
One OF the matches in prospect in
cludes the bringing here OF Tommy
Murphy, Fifth cavalry light and well
ter champion the man who gave
Tommy Carter such a hard battle in
the Punch Bowl last summer, 20 box
ccogle Muskopf who won the border
lght-welter title from Battling Sha-
piro, she other day. Murphy IS an
ideal 135 pound mixer and Is a great
faTorite in the FL Paso district. il
is understood that he is anxious 70

IS probable that arranE ements will be
made for this match in the event
Murphy can obtain a leave Of absence
Tor the contest He is at present
stationed in Maria and he has had
little trouble in annexing the welter
and lightweight titles OF the Big
Bend.

negroes here who wish TO 90 on in
this same contest At least one does

sunny Jim, n husky mixer Of
Fort Worth q aching for q chance
TO meet Gorilla Jones. the bog
who kayoed Speedbuu Hayden.

numerous challenges hurled at
him by sunny Jim but as the
latter has credit for a cIeancut
victory over Jones il Will be
necessary for him to obIiterndc
this defeat before he can ask for
a match AZ the Punch Bowl. Jim

HeVe his statement that he de-
feated Jones when "a Is backed in
such substantial manner. An
other boy who arrived in the city
Monday was Kid Brown, OF
Columbus, who Knocked out Cy-
clone Briggs in the third round
there Christmas day.
Brown looks TO be a sturdy mixer
and he certainly radietes confidence.
he has so much faith in his ability
that he Is ready TO take any and an
of them on and II Briggs desires a
return bout he can get IL by calling
upon Brown az any time. Briggs
