MAXWIXT, (.ports Kdltor Kvrtilnr I'nbllc I-edcer A BRILLIANT nlnth-lnnlnc rally with a sclntljlatlnfc finish mul cvcr.v thine gave Jeo Burman a halr-Uno decMon over Johnny Murray In tho fcaturo act at tho Obmpla last night. No matter how jou figure it, tho Chicago boy had tho edge, although Murray put up a wonderful performance. It was tho best battle seen in this city in many a day, and every spec tator In the arena and there were thousands had a run for his money. lfom start to flnlsh tho bojs fought like a pair of sailors for the cham pionship of rier S. Sclcnco was forgotten and they stood too to too and slugged. There were twenty-four minute of whirlwind battling, neither boy stopping for refreshments. Hrst Murray took tho lend and looked llko a sure winner. Then Burman, who was advised by silent Tommy Walsh, stepped to tho front and breezed under the wlro by a nose. He won in tho last three rounds, when he Mammed Johnny In a most disrespectful manner right on tho chin and almost sent him to tho hay. Somo tlmo and some placo thero will be anotlur scrap lll.o that, but we doubt it. Murray started out like a sure winner, for his left hook was work ing beautifully and Burman did not &ecm ablo to get Ills face out of the way. llarti wallops to the body also counted ngalnst the little Chlcagoan, and by tho time tho third round started Tommy Walsh was ready to drown himself In tho water bucket. The bravo manager pulled himself together, however, and, muttering something about a Etout heart and class will tell, managed to weather tho round It was the greatest piece of managing he eer did. Tho bos staged a regular roughhouse, as each was on tho job to land tho sleep-producing wallop. In tho second they fell to the mat, locked In a clinch, and after Lew Grlmson pulled them apart tried to throw each other out of the ring. They did cerythlng but bite, which shows how hard they were righting. It's a good thing Tetc Herman, tho champ, was not In tho ring. He was a wlc bird to call off tho match, as even a champion would have found the going rough and stormy. x A LEFT hook to the chin almost ruined Burman in the second, but he remained on his feet and fouoht back harder, lie teas very wild and refused to steady himself. In the meantime, Murray teas piling up a lead. Murray Almost Goes to Sleep in the Fifth THE third stanza, was as quiet and serene as tho battle of the Marne. Murray forgot he had a left Jab and stood up and slammed everything he had at Burman. Joe also had a lapso of memory and camo back with more of the same. Tho 6000 customers, including Louie Kamp, Sam Gross, Charley Heeb and others who got In tho same way, stood on their feet and yelled their heads off. Murray was getting in some hard licks in this miniature battlo rojal and was living up to expectations. In tho fpurth the scene changed, as they say at the club. Burman started to use some science and kept tho New Yorker away with a long left Jab. Joo was ery wild, however, and missed seeral rights which might have sent us home early. Ho took tho lead, howecr, and held it to the end. Hurray almost went the oyago in tho fifth, when Burman connected , with a right which sent him reeling against tho hopes. It was a lovely f wallop and a real bull's eye Joo was on him llko a flash and landed agin, almost sending tho little New Yorker to his knees. A bunch of wild swing failed to do any further damage and the bell ended hos tilities for that session. In the sixth the bantams were at it again, Burman doing all the lead Ins and Murray" on the defensive. Joe again sent oer a hard right, which shook Johnny, but there was no more rough stuff. Murray was very tired when tho final bell clanged. 09 'Tlin boys were matched in at 120 pounds ringside, but Murray WONDER WHAT A GOLDFISH THINKS ABOUT i tea a pound overweight. .1 forfeit of 1200 was up, but Tommy Walsh refused to take it. pretty good sport. All of tehich shotes that Tommy is a Tiplitz Wilis Fight as Smilcr; Loses an Automobile TAKING It all in all, tho show was tho best the Oljmpia has had for some time. George Unglo put together a classy card, which would hao done- credit to any matchmaker. In tho semlwind-up, which lasted the full six rounds, Joe Tiplitz sprung a big surprlce and walloped the tar out of Dave Medar, Scotty Montelth's new champion. Joe was thero with bellu on last night and fought better than ever before. He was cheered on by the Smllcrs, who wero enjojing themselves and didn't know It. While Joo was winning the battle some near-sighted burglar swiped Harry Smiler's automobile and didn't discover his mistake until it was too late. Then he keDt It anwav. Tho nnlv reason hmIp-imI tn i, t.Ae fervent that It was dark and he couldn't see tho good cars. Harry received congratulations a. ho walked home, for tha bus was heavily insured. But Tiplitz cared nothing for that. He went after Medar, beat him to tho punch, gave him a bloody nose, and three seconds beforo the final bell sent Dave to tho mat with a healthy left swing. Medar was down at the gong and was carried to his corner. Billy Gannon picked a bum night to go In as a substitute, and lasted only three rounds witli Jyhnny Tjman. Billy wasn't knocked out, ho Just signed an armistice. He was weak and dizzy from running around In circles and avoiding punches to the body.

Kach school the best of the tourney, but, Instead of shelving quite a number of matches onI a few were plaed It seems that some how or other something stepped in and prevented the men from plajlng their matches, rirst the two Vanemann broth ers notified Tilden that they couldn't get down; Harold Taj lor was unaoie to get away from school for his semifinal elnglei match and a report waf circu lated that Craig Diddle had departed for Palm Beach, forgetting his scheduled double match. Then for a climax for all good stories must havo a climax Vincent Richards, the national boy champion, failed to make an appearance at noon for his match with Dill Tilden. Tho large gal lery was getting Impatient, and things were looking bad. Dut there's alnajs a sliver lining to every dark cloud. While Tilden and Wallace wero "amusing" the crowd Vincent Illchards calmly walked into the scene and proceeaea to get into his flannel trousers. It seemed that he had been In an automobile wreck and delayed considerably In reaching here. Dut this wasn't all. Craig Diddle cauted a mild sensation by appearing in tho dressing room ready for his doubles match. The Palm Deach yarn was all bunk.

He was expected to win easily from Kltchle, who has been out of tho game a long tlmo and eald to be too old to bo dangerous. However, Wllllo pulled tho unex pected and this is how it happened.

Professor Hill, the faculty adviser ot the crew has promised to do his utmost if meets can bo arranged with Penn fresh, Princeton fresh or any of the local mgn scnoois. At tho last meeting of tho sUDcrv Isory commltteo It waB stated that Central couiun t havo a crew unless they would have local school competition. Henry uracnoia, chairman of Northeast athletic committee, has said that Northeast would not have a crew this season, owing to the great expense and the lack of coaching material in the school fac ulty. This leaves tho matter entirely up to West Philadelphia High, as Ger. mantown. Southern or Frankford never had a crew and little hopes are held out for their organizing one this season During the last three weeks the Cen tral students have been urging the form ing of a crew. It is expected that a mass meeting will be held shortly to plan an active campaign.
