MURPHY VICTOR IN.
FIGHT WITH BURNS
Harlemite . Rentiers Opponent
Almost Insensible by
Seventeenth Round.
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

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.

was hanging on as the bell rang. Palzer
was all but out as the round ended.

doubt of his courage. His ability to assim
ilate punishment appeared to be his sole
asset. McCarty put two terrific rights to

Injured eye. A short uppercut to the jaw
almost finished Palzer and the Iowan hung
on with his eyes half closed. Palzer hit
McCarty low and the referee cautioned the

jaw followed by a left swing to the other
side of his head made Palzer hang on again.

left hook and hung onto McCarty's shoulders.

played a terrific tattoo on Palzer's body.

blindly. Referee Eyton rushed to McCarty
and held up his right glove In token of
