Cool nnd calculating, Leonard al lowed Murphy to wear himself out and saved himself for a whirlwind finish. In tho third, fourth and fifth rounds I'enny was nn the defensive, occasionally sticking his left out and only a few times using Ills right. Hut Leonard's defomo was wonderful to behold. It was seldom that Trunk O'Hrlen was foiced to sep arate the boers fiom a clinch, as llennv caslly squirmed out of them, and laugh ingly Jabbed Murphy a couple of times befoie Jimmy knew what had happened It was then th.it the crowd accused l.connid of "stnlllng" and "being afraid to take a chance." Bandages Arc Examined The battlo Mas dclaed nt tho start because of tho mysterious bandages Leon ard was accused of wearing. It was said that llenuy used cement, or concrete, or something In the form of a powder on his hands which solidified ns the bout progressed. An a result, both boys ap pealed In the ling with naked digits Happing in tho breeze, and prepared themselves for combat in full low of tho audience. Tho cloth handagei used by Leonard wero closely examined and tho black tnpo put through a rigid test. Then, while Benny wrapped up his hands, Adam Ityan stood by, keenly watching to seo If tho New Yorker slipped a horseshoe In his palm for good luck.

KIDDING WORRIES JIM MURPHY, NOT MERE KNOCKOUT Leonard's Final Punch Was Hardest Local Lad Ever Suffered WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE By LOUIS II. JAKKi: "Well, tho unexpected happened. I lost a bet to myself. I renlly didn't think thero was a man in the world who could stow me away with a punch on the chin" This Is tho way .llnimy Murphy this morn ing referred to tho knockout be Miffcicd from tho right-hand unnshes by llonny Loonard at the Oljmpla last night. "It Is not tho knockout defeat Itself that Is worrying me Tim Itlea Is that I will hao to ho tho butt ot a lot of kid ding and Joshing on tho part of boxers, malingers and light fans In general," con tinued tho West l'hlladelphlan. "Tho best of boxeis In tho past and present have bad tho i1'. kao hung on tliclr Jaw. Now 1 am convinced that I am no better than mi other lighter. How ever, I have one consolation. I was not put to sleep. At no tlmo did ui senses leave me. Knees Gave Way "When Leonaul dropped me the first tlmo I figured the round was so near over that 1 did nut want to lake the full count of nine. It was tho same way when I lilt tho lloor again, but this time my legs lefused to work with my mind I tried hard to get up boforo Hcfeieo O'llrlen even started to count, but my knees wero weak. "My Ickh would not answer to my In tention. Then followed whnt I thought never would occur In my life time. The last punch that Leonnitl landed was the only ono that ever hurt me In all m.v career. Never beforo did I feel tho sting of a blow. Ad Wolgast told mo after my recent match with him that his hat was off to mo for being the only bo.xcr who ever hurt him. My Lolly Is off to Leonard. "Hut. wouldn't I llko to get another crack at him. I would bo willing to wngcr all the money I could sciapo to gether that Ilenny could not repeat his victory In another match. I will not pic dlct thut I can loverso tho knockout, but it I get tho opportunity I am suro that I would eonio pretty closo to doing so. "f still cannot bellevo tho punch that ended our bout landed on my chin. When I reached my corner after tho fight I ased Adam Ityan whether or not Leonard hit mo on top of tho head. Tho punch on tho jaw that staggered mo early In tho tound did not hurt Tho blow shook my bead In such a way that It began to swim, but I didn't think that I wasi in any way bad. "Shiigiue, Welsh. "Wolgast and Dundeo all landed flush on my Jaw, but their blows seemed to bo liko crcanipult wal lops. So did Leonaid'H up to tho llnlhhing punch In the preceding rounds I was so discouraged In my anxiety to catch him that I purposely backed up against tho ropes nml let him hammer away at my Jaw with tho hope that ho would hurt his hands. "After tho bout my manager, Charley Swlneharl, said that I had fought tho wildest and most careless bout of my career. Tho only reason I havo for this is th.it I overworked myself. I tried to knock out a man with tho reputation of being a kndekout artist, and my anxlous nchs mado mo too eager. "Otherwise, I havo no alibi. All I nsk for Is another chanco with Leonard, and I am suro that I can redeem myself." Seventy Rounds Booked Philadelphia fans have tho chnlco of two shows tonight.

Tho answer' to these petitions was to debar tho men for tho icst of tho college year.

It Is the first such instanco on record In college sports. It Is true that tho ruling of tho committee Is to be respected In that Mllhurn will not actually play In gam'tjs. but It Is reported ho Intends to bit on the bench nnd direct the play of tho team.
