HE following letter seems to be written in a spirit of honest criticism, and as that 1s one of the specialties indulged In by the writer Of this column, I gladly give it space, although it is a lusty knock for myself, Mr. Robert Edgreen: I venture :o make a few remarks and trust they will be recelved in the same epirit in which I tender them, I have often wondered how close was felationship between you and iy Murphy. Your Interest in him 4s remarkably amusing. Whenever this doy of yours fights he 1s sure of your ‘Spproval in ‘the next day's paper.

Well, I salute jackrabbit shooting as an eye developer after read- {ne your account of the McGovern- Murphy fight. What no other reporter saw in a minute and a quarter of fight- ing. Murphy, who was only "knocked @own six times !n a minute and a quar- fer, had all the best of it, but was un- fortunately knocked out by a chance Dlow of course. The other reports of the fight stated that McGovern salled} into Murphy from the tap of the gong | and downed Lim in a hailstorm of| blows, but of course these reporters | lacked the eye of the rabbit hunter, You really did justice the other day” 4m describing the exploits of Kid Otto, MPGOVERN STARTS TRAINING TO-DAY Terry Begins Work for His Six-Round Fight with Nel- son in Philadelphia. Terry McGovern started in training to-day at a roadhouse at One Hun- dred and Seventieth street and Jerome avenue for his six-round bout with Batiling Neison, which is sched- uled to be fought in the ring of the National A.

The fight from start to finish was a good one end well worth the trip’ to Philadelphia to see. Murphy never ap- peared to better advantage. He was cool, calcu!sting and deliberate. He made few unnecessary moves and never wasted a punch. His clipe—his punches are nothing eise—were hard and dam- aging. Every one had a bad effect on Yanger. The Chicagoan differed from Murphy in his general style. His was nervous energy. He was trying hard at all times to get to his dancing opponent ef- tectively, but in a style that betokened his respect for Murphy's saappy clips. His beart was in his efforts too, and for the Sst two rounds he bad a shade the better of the milling, due probably to the fact that Murphy was fighting witn great care and took advantage of only the best openings, patiently letting oth- és g0 by. Such seemed the case when Yanger rushed the Haglemite to the ropes on thtee different occasions.
