Moore Outgeneraled
Billy Murphy, of Staten Island,
used every ounce of his 127 pounds
to beat Joe Moore, colored, of the
Fifth Ward, in an eight round main
event last night. Murphy was using
his head and in this way outgener-
aled his opponent, used his feet and
mitts in an effective manner and his
entire strength was conferred in his
two arms whenever they were press
ed into service. The colored fight
er entered the ring weighing the
same as his opponent.
Aside from the seventh stanza, the
colored battler was beaten in ever
round and from the fourth to the
seventh rounds, it appeared as if all
speedy Moore"
Murphy was put after his oppon-
ent from the start and had the bet
ter of close range mixups. The
opening session was taken UP almost
entirely by feeling out, the Staten
Islander getting in the better of the
punches landed. In the second
round the fighting Irishman exhibit
ed the cleverness which featured his
work in former appearances here

feather by the Staten Island boxer
and in the third round Murphy did
not need the assistance of the re'eroe
to break clinchcs, and afte: breaking
from his opponent would continue to
force the fighting. He had the bet
ter of the exchange in this round.
Murphy did all the forcing and fight
ing in the fourth round, Moore's
class apparently having gone.
The colored boxer was almost idle
in the fifth stanza while his oppon-
ent landed with lefts and rights and
was on the offensive throughout.
Moore took considerable punishment
il the sixth round and for a time it
appeared as if a knockout would end
the contest.
In the seventh round the fans saw
Moore at his best for the first time
during the evening. He danced
around in old time form and met
every offensive of the Irishman az
though the Staten Islander continued
TO fight back
Both men went at it strong in the
eighth round, the final of the bout.
Murphy had the better of the ex-
change, both men landing a number
of telling blows in this session.

plenty of class in beating frankie
Hannigan of Staten Island in the six
round semi-fnal contest. Both men
weighed in at 125 pounds.
The opening round of this bout
found the two men covering up con-
siderably as a part of their respec-
tive plans TO test the ability of the
other. There was little fighting in
this session.
After a fast exchange Hannigan
vent down for a count of nine and
was somewhat groggy for the re-
mainder of the session. Walker fail
ed to follow his advantage after the
Touchdown. Prior to the flooring of
the Staten Islander, the two men
stood toe to toe for about thirty
seconds before Walker sent owe the
telling blow.

the third and fourth rounds, and also
the fifth. All of these rounds were
