0 DRAW
"Boston Bulldog" and Chicago Lightweight Furnish a Speedy Battle in Kenosha Ring.
Kenosha, Wis., May 21. Jack Brltton may have licked Eddie Murphy in Boston last winter and licked him good, but he could not begin to trim the Hub boy last night. The eastern lad, looking like a , different , fighter from the one we saw battle Packey McFarland twice, stepped out and fought like a champion. He held the great north slder to an even break In a stunning ten-round battle. The Irish cracks were busy every minute of the half hour. At the finish neither was marked perceptibly, but they were weary from the blinding pace and glad to reach out and grip mitts when the final bell sounded. Murphy for the first time showed Chicago fans what he really has In stock. In his fights with McFarland he did not display anything near the skill and speed that he baffled Brltton with last evening. He had almost ev
erything that a fighter ought to have j right, and. try as Britton would, he could not spare.
gain the mastery at any stage.
Murphy won a draw by outfinishing Jack. He let the Britton boy set the
pace In the early rounds, contenting
himself with backing away and letting
Jack's gloves whiz through the atmos
jjhere. At the end of the fifth session
he was several points to the bad; but.
from then on, he was busy every sec
ond and. with a left hand every bit as good as Jack's, kept the Chicago boy's head tilting and. reddening his right
eye.
The boys finished fighting savagely In the center of the ring and with the small crowd standing on chairs and giving Murphy an ovation for his sur
prising showing. Thus did Murphy prove that Brit
ton's victory over him In the east was the result of poor condition. He has claimed this all along and got his
chance last night to prove that he was

LICKS JESS ' WILLARD
San Francisco. May 21. Gunboat
Smith won a questionable decision over Jess Willard In the white hope elimination contest here in a battle that
was anything but interesting. The fight went the full twenty rounds.
It proved Willard i9 a game fellow
and can stand a hard punch. For that matter there Is a good deal of Tom Sharkey about him. He livens up and
fights with more readiness after tak
ing a punishing swing on the ear or
jaw. Willard's range saved mm irom
Gunboat's best smashes. Smith had to Jump to reach the target and as a rule
his blows did not land solidly.
Once, at least, however It was in
the thirteenth round Gunboat caught
the Kansan a full-force rignt on me
chin. The punch did not seem to feaze Willard In the slightest. He tore after

uppercut, but failed.

occurred on the straightaways. Every driver appears to be trying to get a
line on the speed of the others.
Pllette, the Belgian driver, made his
first appearance in his MercedesKnight. Although unfamiliar with the
big brick course, he worked several laps around 1:45 for the two and onehalf miles. The machine is a formid-. able looking' boat with a V-ahaped radiator. . , Another foreign car to make its first appearance, was the Sunbeam, piloted by Guyot. The English product is a frail kind of craft, as thin and long
as a pencil. Wind resistance does not bother it In the least, and It appears to have plenty of speed. ' After two weeks at the factory Harry Endicott reapepared with his Nyberg racer today. He reeled oft laps ranging from 1:44 to 1:48. Goux was tinkering with his Peugeot, but his team mate, Zaccarelli, showed several laps in 1:44 in the other French machine. Another arrival at the track was
George Clark with his Tulsa. He did j not try for speed, but was content to j
warm up his car at a two-minute clip for the lap. Bob Burman took a day
