\ -• Murphy Stops Jake Lamotta, To Seek Title New York. June 28 — (UP) — Southpaw. Bob Murphy, the redhaired ex-sailor who stopped Jake La Motta in seventh, round, opened negotiations today for a title fight with light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim at 1 New york “before October.” . t Murphy of San Diego, Calif., .‘'battered the ex-middleweight champion ipto such helplessness that he was unable to continue their scheduled 12-round bout before 21,257 in Yankee stadium last night. j LaMotta. bleeding profusely from cuts on both brows and one on his chin and from his nose, told his handlers be didn’t “feel good” as he staggered to his corner when the bell ended action in the\seventh round. Dr. Vincent Nardfello examined him in the corner and told referee Ray Miller to stop the bout. Miller waved his arms, signifying that the bout was finished before the bell rang to open the eighth

round. Murphy had won on a technical knockout, [y However, anonuncer Johnny Ad-, die announced that Murphy had v won in the “eighth round.” But chairman Eddie Eagan of the New York boxing commission ruled earfy today that the official ending of the fight had occurred in the seventh round, according to New York state code. It was a pier-six brawl for four' rounds, but Murphy \ practically finished the stocky, swarthy New Yorker in the fifth by handing Jake one of the worst three-minute beatings of his career. Early In the fifth, the taller contender ripped six consecutive left uppercuts to LaMotta’s chin. One of those blows almost lifted Jake off his feet. Yben Murphy battered Jake into a corner and 'barraged him to - body and head, almost without return. Jake was blood-smeared and groggy as he lurched to his corner. During the sixth and seventh; the only question was how long the ex-midd|ewieght ying could remain afoot, although he did try one final desperate flurry in the seventh. He was a helpless hulk as he rolled to his corner .at the end of "the seventh. But be had kept alive his boast of never having been floored in the ring. >\ Go to the church of your choice next Sunday.
