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.

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

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.

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

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

Ritchie Boxed Three Rounds Before Meeting Leonard
TUB defeat of Bcnnlo Leonard by AVIllio Tlltch.e has been sucfi a sur

but Leonard was supposed to be out of that class. 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.
Beforo tho bout, which was only four rounds, rtltchie did some

Of course the appearance of Illchards
and Diddle changed matters quite a bit
Tilden had defaulted the match between
Richards and Johnson, the local star.
This was damaged and Instead they

placed Tilden in the semifinal round,
He will meet Fred, Alexander today
The final round will be staged tomorrow.

and baseball plajer, and the sophomoro
class by Dletwellcr, a member of the

structed to urge the committee to recon
sider their actions toward crew work.
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.

had a crew and little hopes are held out
for their organizing one this season
During the last three weeks the Cen

ing of a crew. It is expected that a
mass meeting will be held shortly to plan
an active campaign. Thero Is plenty

"Quads" on Wanamaker Hoof
There Is a rumor afloat that the an
nual public high school track and field
championships, popularly known as tho
"Quads." will be held on the roof of the
John Wanamaker store. It all depends
on whether the Meadowbroo'k Club will
be successful In its attempt to obtain
the use of Commercial Museum for Its
annual Indoor meet. This bulldlne stilt
Is being used by the government. Mean
while the automobile and Meadowbrook
officials are wondering- If they will be
able to hold their annual events.
There is no reason why tho high
schools shouldn't use the track on the
"Wanamaker roof If Commercial Museum
Is unavailable. The track Is ten laps to
a mile and with suitable weather condi
tions would assure fast time. Ann ay,
It would be better to hold It there than
dron the event for this season Mayhan
some one will start the ball rolling
toward Betting- a much needed athletic
stadium.

Captain Jimmy Brown also came
through w-lth the lion's share of the
field baskets, seven In number, and one
was about as pretty a one-handed corner
stab as Is possible to Bcore. Another
feature of the affair was that "Danks"
Clraefr broko his record with a pair of
two-timers.
The totals at the end of tho" Initial
period were Saints. 24 ; Dobson, 7. The
latter did much better In tho second
nerlod. Their only shot of tho first half
was an accidental icoa! that Hoffman
did not know he had knocked In, but
they came through with nine In the
second frame. All told, the Saints made
eighteen from tho field and their plaj Ing
was without a flaw.
