Burns has been fighting little
more than five years. 1t was in
Detroit that he first came into pro-

for pitifully small purses and at

he met a boy named Ben O'Grady.
Burns will regret that fight as long
as he lives, because it resulted ia

calling. is extremely sensitive and
sympathetic, and felt the death of
| O'Grady keenly.
Burns has engaged in SO fights
as professional, has never been
knocked out and has lost but three
decisions, one each to Mike
Schreck, Jack O'Brien and Twin
Jack Sullivan.
Out of the ring, Burns is a most
gentlemanly chap. He is quiet and

Burns hopes Jack O'Brien will be

His Pitching Was Sensation.

Arthur Cummings was the first

curve is attributed to a pitcher of

with an underhanded motion and

wide out. 1t Is doubtful whether
he dreamed eyed that the spere

Tmmy Burns, who now styles
himself the heavyweight champion
Of the world, by virtue of his de-
feat of Marvin Hart, is one of the
most interesting characters in the
pugilistic game. He is the silent
man of the ring. His right name is
Noah Brusso and he comes from
French Canadian parentage.
There are probably many who
will laugh at the pretensions of
Burns in calling himself the heavy
weight champion, but there were
also many who thought that he
hadn't even an outside chance of
beating the Louisville boy when the
match was made.
A wonderful change has taken
place in Burns in the past six
months. The last fight he had be-
fore the battle with Hart was with
Jack (Twin) Sullivan who defeated
him in 20 rounds of fast fighting.
Burns made 1853 pounds at O'Clock
on the day of this battle and the
weight weakened him to such an
extent that he was an easy mark
for the Boston man.
He came to the conclusion that
he was a fool to make weight for
anyone as he has been growing
heavier and stronger in the past
few months and now weighs ITS
pounds, at his best. This was his
weight when he beat Hart.
During the. next few months
Burns expects to put on at least Is
pounds and, when he next enters
the ring, he will weigh in the neigh
borhood of 100 pounds. He is short

1t is hard to see how an athletic
club can maintain it's amatuer
standing and conduct professional
prize fights. However, this seems
to be possible in the northwest ana
our local club will undoubtedly oc-
cupy this anomalous position as
long as it is permitted to do so. 1t
will hold this position because 1t is
backed by public sentiment-not
alone among members, but at large
in the city. But since the club de-
sires to hold it's place among repu-
table amatuer clubs and still con-
duct prize fights, it should see to 1t
that the fair name Of the club is
protected in everw way possible
from such lamentable a occurance
as resulted from the recent Neil
Tenny fight in Frisco. Should death
come to any participant in a fight
at the Spokane Amatuer Athletic
Club, it might tndanger the very
existence of that institution.

expected this year.
