Packey Mtill has several years to ;<>
in the ring. Judging from his present
work, for there's hardly a nnm of rd*

Eastern Lightweight Has Flour
ished Contemporaneously With
Four Champs of His Class.
By W. W. Naughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Den. S-
While watching Harlem Tomnv*
Murphy at work in his gymna
sium and noting the evident zest
with which he tackles his exercises
and the energy he infuses into the
things he does, it is hard to realize
all the sturdy little New Yorker hae
been through in the boxing line
Tfce fact remains that Murphy*ha*
flourished contemporaneously with,
four world’s champions in Ills divi
slon—that he has seen three of them
pass into defeat and out of the lime
light, and is now about to box the
fourth after many years of waiting
for a chance at the blue ribbon.
A glance at Murphy’s record if
highly interesting. It contains the
names of such performers as Kic
Broad, Young Corbett, Benny Yanger
Terry McGovern and Frankie Neli
fighters who have been out of the
game these many years.
When the Battling Nelson-Joe Gan«
feud was at its height Tommy waf
lighting such men as Leach Cross
Matty Baldwin and Packey McFar
land, and this Is ample proof that he
would have been a fair enough cham
pionship candidate at that time if the
chance had come his way.
