LIGHTWEIGHTS ARE READY

Murphy and Madden Waiting for Gong In New York Ring Tonight. .

New York, Jan. B.—Two of the best lightweights of America will get together tonight in the ring of the National Athletic club in this city. Tommy Murphy, “the Pride of Harlem," is to face Frankie Madden, “the Bowery Boy,” in a ten round bout. Murphy’s defeat of Charley Griffin, the Australian boxer, in Boston last week has sent his stock up a point or two.
