BURNS TRACY GO TOMORROW

II He next fistic event to attract the
attention Of the local ring follow
ers viii be pulled of tomorrow
night between Jimmy Burns and Tom
Tracy. These two worthless have been
carefully training for the event for the
past two weeks and are now both in
the best OF condition. Little is known
locally about Tracy, as he halls from
the state of Massachusetts,, where he
has had a number Of good battles In
his training he appears to be a long and
rangey fighter, one of the kind who
punches a man and then gets away
again. For the past three weeks Tracy
has been taking on all corners at the
Salt Lake Athletic club and it is need
less to say there are many black eyes
and tin ears around the neighborhood
of the club. Burns is well known To-
cally, having easily won his last fights
over Mexican Pete and Dummy Rowan.
The men agree to box twenty rounds.

It has at last been decided to pull off
the match between Professor Sunshine
and Professor Pistol IN conjunction
with the Burns-Tracy bout tomorrow
night. Sunshine says the latter bout
is really only a preliminary to his
match, and he ought to know. These
two ambitious fighters have attracted
a great amount Of attention the past
week and a number Of the local sports
are anxious TO see just what they viii
do in the ring. Sunshine has a large
retinue OF trainers and advisers and
viii go into the ring somewhat the IA
vorite. Every known method Of train
ing has been tried on the professor, and
if he fails to win it viii be because some
OF them are not what they ought to be.
The professor has invented several new
blows for the occasion. but the refuses
to divuIge them until he steps into the
ring.
The defeat Of Ray Barney in such an
easy manner at the hands OF Jerry Nc
Carthy at Eureka last week came some
{ what as a surprise 10 a number of the
local fstic fraternity. Many thought
the Payson lad was far too clever for
the little Irishman. but accounts Of the
fight prove to the contrary. Apparent
~ it was all Mccarthy from the first
round, he having Barney at his mercy
all through the contest. Barney first
jumped into prominence by defeating

months ago and his friends picked him

Phil Green has a harder contract on
/ his hands in disposing of Young DOno-
van OF Los Angeles than any fight he
has had since he has entered the ring
in this city. The Californian came TO
( the city unknown. but after his first
/ appearance here in a preliminary he
proved that he knew something of the
game. He is by far the cIeverest light
man seen in this city for some time
