Larry Becker, of Bayonne, declined to
fight Larry Burns, of Cohoes, at Troy last
night, Mike McManus, the original
principal selected when the battle was
first arranged, went on instead. McManus
was beaten a week ago at South Beach
by Becker, and as he a previously been
matched with Burns for last nights bat
tie Becker was given the preference, the
matchmaker trying to throw McManus
over. The Bayonne boxer at first agreed
to meet Burns, and after reconsidering
the matter notified the Troy Club that he
would not be the means of doing Nc
Janus out of a match and cancelled the
engagement, promising that in case Burns
beat McManus to arrange a match with
the winner for the next exhibition. h

Burns established beyond dispute his
power at infighting and beat McManus
easily. The fight lasted five rounds, Me-
Manus being knocked through the ropes
and put to sleep with a right hand smash
