SEASON OPENS TONIGHT \Irish-American A. C. and Hockey Club Sevens to Start the Disc A-Spinning. At the St. Nicholas Rink to-night \ the Irish-American A. C. and Hockey Club sevens open the Amateur League season. While the Irish-Americans have played in several games this season, the Hockey Club team has not jensaged in any contests and is some- \thing of an unknown quantity to hockey followers. Jimmy O'Brien, the coach of the Irish-American A.

Tommy met Willie Beecher in @ ten-round contest at the, Long Acre A. C. last night, and his showing was so poor that the latter ad no trouble winning. Murphy was ee the Murphy of former days—if he had been the result might have been different. Murphy was lucky to remain the ten rounds. He did not possess his old speed nor his punch, and ha@ It not been for his ring generalship the chances are that he would have gone | down for the count. In one round only did Murphy show a flash of his old form. That was in the third round, wnen he patna punches at close quarters to such a goo! vi zo that he had the better of that session. This rally must have taken all of | Murphy's strength, as after that he tired as the result of Reecher's heavy wallops to the stomach and kidneys. st In the last three rounds he held co tinually in the clinches pet Frankie Burns Stops Conway NEW ORLEANS, Jan, 6,—Frankie Burns, the Jersey City bantam, won from Frankie Conway, the Philad x 3 sh Sack Tv The lt be phia bantam, in the fourth My nec rence in this vicinity before the Orleans A.
