 Saturday Draws

Miles Murphy, added another victory to his list last Saturday night when he defeated Nina Cur vich, Prince Rupert, one minute before the end of the sixth and fi- ral round, winning on a technical knockout.

 Three Others Draw
 All of the other matches were draws. But they were good fights at that. Old-fashioned sluggine featured the curtain-raiser. Speed and boxing, with keen sharpshoot- ing kept the fans on the edges ot their seats in the special between Eddie Murphy and Jack Howard And power plus, hard driving ag- gressives, marked the semi -windur between Granny Hulse and Young roiol,,,o
 A good crowd of fans got their moneys worth and then some. All of the fights were above average, except the main event, and that was too one-sided to be really in- teresting.
 Murphy Too Powerful
 In the very first round, Murphy demonstrated he was too big for Curvich. And too powerful for the smaller man to stand up before his attack.
 Within the first minute he open ed up wide and gave Miles a chance to shoot the works. Cur vich tried quick rights and lefts to the jaw and Miles only smiled. Then he crowded Gurvich to the ropes and cuffed him about the head as if he were punching bag. Gurvich kept straight left in Miles face and worked away at his stomach but he wasn't effect i've.

 Draws First Blood
 In the second round, Miles got the range better and peppered Gurvichs nose and mouth with left hooks and a straight right occas- ionally. He drew blood from Nina's nose and cut his lip. A hard right glanced off Gurvich's left cheek bone leaving it raw.
 Miles blocked nicely or rolled away from Gurvich's attempts. again he escaped without serious

 The third round was a repetti- ton of the second, Miles drawing blood in large quantities from Cur vich's nose and mouth. Some of the spectators began to urge Cur yich's second to toss in the towel.
 Nina Stars Rally
 Gurvich brought down the house when he came out Tn the fourth carving the fight to Miles. He caught him squarely on the chin with a straight left and drove two hard rights into the stomach. He heat Miles to the punch several times and scored repeatedly to the body with both hands.
 Murphy took it calmly and coast cd through the round without damage of any kind.
 Murphy Again Scores
 In the fifth Murphy hit Gorvich with everything but the ringposts, and Nina took everything that came his way. Miles weaved and bobbed before him, offering an un- certain target, and shot both hands to the face. and head time after time. Still Gurvich came back with smile. pecking away ineffec- lively but gamely.
 Murphy smeared him from ev- cry direction. and Nina's face and chest were covered with blood.
 After a few seconds of aimless milling in the sixth, Miles un-
