Friday 3 December 1915
East New York A.C., Brooklyn, New York, USA
Harlem Tommy Murphy L-KO3 Pete Hartley
The result should be listed as a 'no contest'. Both fighters fell out of the ring, while in a clinch, with Hartley falling on top of Murphy and both stunned (Murphy the more so, some even claimed he broke an arm, although Brooklyn newspapers refuted this) and unable to continue.

Brooklyn Eagle and Brooklyn Standard Union also printed detailed reports next day. None of the four newspapers reported this as a win for Hartley, or any decision for that matter.
