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.
