FACE POUNDED TO PULP In Sixth Round, Left to Jaw Dispels Hopes or Oakland Flgrhters Backers Loser Appears Jazed Afterward. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1. With the arena resembling a shambles. Franklo Burns" seconds threw a towel Into the ring In the 17th round of his fight with Harlem Tommy Murphy at the Eighth-street open-air arena today, af ter their charge had been beaten al most Into insensibility and his face had lost all its contour. Murphy, barring the second round, when he ran afoul of a right cross that sent him to the mat for a couple of seconds, had things practically all his own way. It was in the sixth round that a left to the Jaw dispelled the hopes of Burns' backers. From then on the Oak land lad appeared dazed and fight ex perts realized that It was only a ques tion of time before the gameness of Burn must succumb to the beating ad ministered by Murphy. Burn Is Helpless. In the 14th Burns, apparently for the first time realized that the battle was gaing against him, for he asked a newspaperman, "Am I losing?" In the 15th and 16th rounds Burns answered the bell by will power only. His attempts to protect himself against the blows of his opponent were futile and seldom have California light fans seen a man take the punishment that was indicted on Burns. Many are In clined to censure his seconds for not admitting earlier the defeat of their man. In the opinion of fight-experts Burns has been eliminated from the ranks of lightweight contenders. A year ago, af ter his defeat by Wolgast, It was be lieved that ho had been relegated to the ranks of second-raters, but he "came back" by the four-round route and established his form by knocking cut "One Round" Hogan, in the tenth round of a hard battle. Murphy la Fast. Murphy had everything his own way in the first round. He displayed daz sllng speed and landed time and again left hooks to the jaw. drawing blood and all but flooring the Oaklander. Burns floored the Easterner in the second round, catching him with a wicked right chop to the chin. Murphy was up in a jiffy and full of fight- Prior to the knockdown the men had exchanged several vicious facers. It was Burns' round. Burns opened the third round with two vicious right clouts to the Jaw. after which the round resolved itself Into a terrific , slugging match, with honors even. Burns' face was badly cut up; Murphy staggered the Callfornian in the fourth round with a straight left to the mouth. He forced Burns into a corner, volleying with right and left to the face. The men fought at a fast clip, never for an Instant idling. It was Murphy's round. Tlie Harlemlta opened the fifth with a straight left to the Jaw that stag gered Burns and all but floored him. Burns came back like a tiger and worked his right and left hard to the Jaw, forcing Murphy to a clinch. The round was even. Ronnd About Evni. Both men landed often and with great force In the sixth round, play ing constantly for the face and Jaw. The round was ubout even. Murphy, in the seventh, had the honors by a wide margin. Burns was swinging wildly and slowed up a bit. In thu eighth round after Murphy had peppered the Oaklander with lefts to the face, Bums landed three pow erful blows to the Jaw. A rully fol lowed, during which Burns was all but sent through the ropes and he showed the distress signal as the bell clanged. Murphy had all the better of the ninth, landing with clock-like regular ity with lefts to the face, and Burns presented a bloody appearance as he took his seat. Murphy ulniost floored Burns in the tenth round, landing terrific right .uid left punches to the jaw. Burns wax given whisky as he sat down, wiih Mood fairly running from his mouth anri nose. Burns fntight Avlth great pitinenpss in the 1 1th. hut Murphy, as in the tenth round, used him as a eiiopping Wock. Neither Hm Advantage. Burns staggered Murphy in the 12th with left to the face, followed "Quick ly with a powerful right his heaviest blow. Burns again brought left and right to the lace and both were cov ered with blood as the rounded ended, with the advantage to neither man. The 13th round was one continuous rlose-runge session, with no blows of consenuence landed. Burns slowed up perceptibly in the 14th round. Murphy finding him an easy victim for his left facers, whloh he varied with occasional rights to the stomach. Murphy landed as often as he pleased In the 16th. but a right to the face stopped him for an Instant. As the round drew to a close, the Easterner almost khocoked his man out with right and left punches to the jaw, and Burns was fairly carried to his cor ner. When the bell rang for the start of the 17th, Burns tottered from his seat." Mu.-phy went after him like a pan ther, landing right anvl left on a de fenseless fighter's face. The crowd Importuned Referee Griffin to stop the fight and immediately the white towel was flung in the center of the ring as a token of defeat. Murphy was given the decision.

Portland sport followers, who Joined the anti-betting fraternity after their disastrous experiences connected witn the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno, ini tiated 1913 by backing their fistic Judg ment with money. More than $5000. all at even money, changed hands on the result of the McCarty-Palzer scrap at Los Angeles yesterday. Those who keep in touch with box ing and boxing tans assert that more interest was evidenced in the battle of the youthful giants at Los Angeles than any mill since the tiegro-white conflict of July 4, 1910. More than 75 pc cent of the telephone cal'.s to The Oregcnian last nighc were inquiries about the outcome of the fight, while every cigar store In the business dis trict kept a man busy with this phrase: "MeCarty, 18 rounds." "He's the best white man in the busi ness, but he'll have to develop a punch before he can stand before the negro heavies of the Langford caliber," com mented one enthusiast at Schiller's cor ner last night. This sums up the im pression of the average Portland 'an, and "undoubtedly that of Mr. Average Fan anywhere in the country. That absence of a convincing punch, so-noticeable in the McCarty-Flynn fight, is the weak point in McCarty's makeup that the ex-Palzer followers point to and the adherents of the Ne braska cowboy grudgingly acknowl edge Little interest was shown in the Murphy-Burns lightweight tussle at San Francisco, except as it affects Bud Anderson, the Northwestern light weight. Anderson expected to meet Burns in the near future, figuring him a winner over "Harlem Tommy," but the fortunes of the ring may pit Bud against Murphy in the near future. Anderson and his manager, Dick Donald, leave Portland tonight for California. Bud has a bout promised at Oakland on January 16 against Red Watson or Murphy. He will train either at Shannon's, San Rafael, or White's, Oakland. J.' G. MACK & CO. FIFTH AND STARK J.G. MACK & CO. Unusual Are the Offerings of This, Our Annual Clearance Sale.
