IN the RING.
Burns Given Decision Over
Hart at End Of 10Th.
Terry Martin Had Own Way
Throughout With Connolly.
Men for Monday Nights Exhibition in This
City Are in Fine Shape.

Los Angeles, Cal. Feb. 23.-By those
who took Marvin Harris claim to the
worlds championship title seriously.
Tommy Burns of Chicago may now be
considered the heavyweight champion.
Buns decisively outpointed Hart to-
night at the Pacific Athletic Club
pavilion and got the decision at the
end of the goth round.
From start to finish. with the posi-
bic exception of the 10th and the 18th
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
III weight and height, made Hart look
like a novice.
4 An the Opening rounds Burns vas
very nervous and lacked confidence.
After this he quickly sized Hart up
and began q systematic attack on his
face and body with straight lefts. III
the third round nc started the blood
flowing from Harris nose and kept it
running in almost every round there
after.
In tho fifth round Burns caught Hart
over the right eye and i'll the follow
ing rounds battered the optic until it
was closed. Tho left eye also was bad
ly 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
attempts to brought il" in the clinchcs
earned the disapproval of the crowd
which appeared to be with Burns al
most to Il man. Burns style of attack
was To shoot his left to the face on
the body and stop inside of Hart $
sW ili;yS. allowing them to go around his
neck or durking them ntircly. Hart
sinl,iy could not Land on Burns and to-
wards the latter part Of the fight tried
hard to wear Burns out by using his
weight in the clinchcS.
Til" fight was tircSomc, one round being
much like the preceding and following
ones. La the 1ith Burns appeared to
have q chance to knock Hart out. n.
caught the bigger man a right and left
on the Jaw that sent him staggering for
a moment Quickly Selling his advantage.
Burns hammered Hart about the fact AMI
head until he forced him to cover up and
give ground.
In the last few rounds. seeing the tide
of battle going against him, Hart, UrS'i
by his chief second. Tommy Ryan. tried
desperately to corner his duick-witt"d
opponent and secure Il knockout. Every
attempt failed, however and every round
increased Burns lead
Hart weighed about 1oJ. while Burns
weight was given ut 113 pounds. Jack
trwin Sullivan was Burns chief second
The betting was to ! on Hart and even
money that Hart would win, in 10 rounds.
Attendance, 1000.

plain view, to be read at leisure by
any postal employee from the time 1t

destination. 1t is safe to assume that
this has been the cause Of no little
trouble and embarrassment.
During my first stay In Brazil I
found that the postal card there In use
was supplied with a flap or covering Of
dark paper which when gummed down
completely hid the writing. This flap
was attached to the back Of the card,
the edge gummed and perforated, the
Insertion Of finger tip being all that
was required to open It. 1t served the

When Professor Curie was run oVe1

ago the entire world recognized that
Il had lost one Of Its foremost expert
mentors. Yet 1t was only six years
ago that the wonderful element. radi-

passed almost unnoticed among the ex-
'hibIts In a Paris exhibition, and q
stranger. seeking the physicist. found
him only through the lucky help Of q
street gamin.
In the 1900 exhibition In Paris, says
London Truth, the compIlers Of the
catalogue and the jurors entirely over
looked the tiny vial containing Its
speck Of radIum. which the CURES had
sent. An exhibitor Of diamonds, an
noyed because its presence spoiled the
color OF his jewels, had put 1t out Of
sight. An English visitor, however,
who had read a reference to the dis
covery In an obscure Journal, hunted
1t up and later set out to find the dis
coverers.
He went to many places, the Mines
School, the Sorbonne and elsewhere,
but no one In any OF them could tell
him anything Of the CURES. At last,
by a strange chance, he ran across a
gamin who had heard OF radIum from
a chum who worked as an attendant
at the City OF Paris Industrial labora-
tory, where Curie then worked. By
this roundabout information the Eng
llshman was brought to Professor
Curie, who was a little amazed, but
pleasantly so, to find that some one
was at last interested In what they
were doing.
Nine. Curie, he said, had herself
pounded In a mortar with her own
hands all the pitchblende from which
the speck Of radlum had been obtained.
Pitchblende was costly. and she had
not wasted a grain. She had ruined
her hands In the work.
They were then spending every pen
ny for pitchblende. Nine. Curie had
given up gloves entirely and was wear
ing very old and badly patched cheap
shoes and old fashioned clothes. The
professor had on old shoes and a
threadbare coat-hls only coat. Their
little girl was dressed as cheaply. But

they had enriched humanity incalcu-
lably by their discoveries in radio &C
