Burns Proved His Superior
Throughout the Fight.

Los Angeles Last Night.

Chicago Lad Weighed IFS
Pounds and Hart 1876 Pounds.

Of Championship -FOrm.

Los Angeles, Feb. 24-By those who
took Marvin Harris claim to the worlds
championship title seriously. Tommy
Burns of Chicago may be considered the
heavy weight champion Burns de-
cisively outpointed Hart last night at
the Pacific Athletic club pavilion and
was given the decision at the end Of
the twentieth round. &c
From start to finish. with the excep-
ton Of the tenth and twelfth rounds,
when Hart had a very small advantage,
Burns outfOught the bigger man. out
generated him, and beat him at every
point in the. game of boxing. At times,
Burns, although Handicapped in weight
and height, made Hart look like
novice In the opening round Burns
was very nervous and lacked confidence,
After this, however. he quickly sized
Hart up and began a systematic attack
on his face and body with straight lefts.
In the third round he started the blood
flowing from Harris nose and kept it
running in almost every round there
after. In the fifth Burns cut Hart over
the right eye and in the following
rounds battered the optic until it was
closed. The left eye also was badly
marked and Harris face presented a
bloody sight practically throughout the
fight
Hart failed to show any champion
ship form of any sort. His persistent
attempt to rough 1t in the clnch es
earned the disapprovaI of the crowd,
which appeared to be with Burns al
most to a man. Burns style Of attack
was to shoot his left to the face or the
body and step inside of Harris swings,
allowing them to go around his neck,
or ducking them entirely. Hart simply
could not land on Burns and toward
the latter part of the fight tried hard
to rough it and wear Burns out by
using his weight in the clinches. The
fight was t1resome, one round being
much like the preceding and following
ones.
In the fourteenth, Burns appeared to
have a chance to knock Hart out He
caught the bigger man a right and left
on the jaw that sent him staggering
for a, moment. Quickly Selling his ad-
vantage, Burns hammered Hart about
the face and head until he forced him
to cover up and give ground.
In the last few rounds, seeing the
tide Of the battle going against him
Hart, urged by his chief second, Tom
my Ryan. tried desperately to corner
his quick witted opponent and secure
a knockout. Every attempt failed.
