BURNS CALLS FOR

HUSKY BOXER HAS MORE
TROUBLE
HyIand and Thompson Rounding to In
Fine Fashion and Each An
tlclpates a Vic
tory

wanted-one or several husky young
men who will allow Tommy Burns to
use them as punching bags during
brief intervals every afternoon. Apply
at Arcadia
AS he has difficulty in getting on a
match so Tommy Burns is experiencing
the same trouble now that he has
secured AL Kaufman for a heavy
weight go. Poor Abdul is the only one
who can screw up sufficient nerve to
get between the ropes with the husky
champion.
At that Tommy must needs come to
a halt just so often and inquire
whether or not he has loosened too
much steam. Just how long Turk will
remain is a matter for conjecture.
Several who witnessed the three-round
go yesterday at Arcadia expected to
see Alb pack his grip and make a run
for the first car citywards.
Abdul is willing, however, and sticks
with it.
Kaufman is not entirely uppermost
in Tommys mind at the present, and
the Berger-O'Brien bee is still buzzing.
He anxiously inquiries as to whether
any response has come from Berger
regarding the $1,000 which he posted as
guarantee to stop the big fellows
within twenty rounds. He is willing to
go one better, and said yesterday that
the check would stand for any part of
$4,000 if that much might be any in
ducement to Samuel.
Speaking of O'Brien Tommy gave
vent to:
"Well. see where he has ducked
across the pond to get away from me.
He thought 1 was going to get Squires
over there, and took $500 expense
money 1 was offered $1,000 before l
left the east for the same match. l
guess he knows where the easy money
lies. and 1 suppose you can't blame
him. Guess I'll have to force him into
a match"
Johnny Thompson had another busy
day, going four rounds each with Kid
Dalton and Webster. Thompson wore
heavy wrappings yesterday and is
gathering himself for the weight. A
surplus of Hyland money is out with
no abundance of the opposing coin to
cover 1t. Ellis Cohn had the San
Franciscan long green at $40 and was
calling for the Thompson end.

Cans Makes Fast Trip to Goldteld

Tuesday Nights Battle Is
Very Brisk
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 24.-Joe
Cans went down to the arena with
Larry Sullivan this morning and tried
the ring. He jumped around briskly
a number of times and then expressed
his satisfaction with it. He indicated
several rough stops which required
smoothing.
The colored fellow tried on the five
ounce gloves he will use on Labor day
This accomplished he jumped into Sui
livan's automobile and was whirled
back to Columbia.
1t was Cans first appearance in
Goldfeld since the signing of articles
and large crowd assembled for a
glimpse of him.
Cans appeared the picture of health
and strength. He took his usual run
on the road at o'clock this morning
and after a rub down weighed in at
1873 exactly.
Nelson looked the ring over and tried
on his gloves this afternoon. The
''Battler" went through a morning of
hard work to atone for his day of yes
terday. He weighed in at 1874.
Seats were placed on sale today. The
sales at noon amounted to nearly $780,
900. 1t is certain that the attendance
will be larger. Betting in the pool
rooms is quite brisk and a lot of
small money is going down at $500 to
$3.50 on Cans.
A bet of $4,000 at 5 to 4 was placed
by Larry Sullivan for some eastern
friends last evening.
