Duval Beats Eddie Murray.
Duke Duval, a clever and fairly
hard hitting bantam from tawton
made his Tulsa debut by winning
Referee Ferns decision over Eddy
Murray OF West Tulsa IN a slashing
lO-rounder. Duval was the cIeyerer
ot the two and landed the most

steam. II was great scrap the two
llttle fellows put up and the decision
was very close n could have been
called a draw. Murray came through
without q mark while Duvars face
was damaged somewhat. Murray
weakened slightly In the last round,
however, and this probably was re-
sponsible for Duval getting the de-
cision. Duval was given the edge I'm
four rounds, Murray in two and four
were even.
