NEW, YORK, March 10. Noah Brusso,
the fighter who, under the ring name Of
Tommy Burns, made show of Marvin
Hart at Los Angeles last week, is one
of the most unique characters seen in
the square circle in years.
Brusso is French Canadian, being
born at Hanover. Ont, twenty-four
years ago. The pugilist came from u
good family, and adopted q ring career
to- the great chagrin of his parents. How
ever, there was no keeping the boy out
OF the prize ring. as he was SO com
nlctcly fascinated by the sport that he
was professional boxer before he re-
allied it.
Brusso is one of the best alI-round
athletes in the business His great ply

for him to withstand the bcarlike en-
braces of the gigantic Hart in cllnches.
came from years of lacrosse, tennis
socker foot-ball. hockey and skating,
those sports having been Brussels life
long pastimes at his Canadian home.
The athlete has always had u mania
for the most strenuous of outdoor sports
and has professionalism half the anna

ada by playing against thems,lnder as-
sumed names and in various sorts of
Adisguises. II there is "a lncross game on
when Brusso is around he can't be kept
out oft. He. shows tho most phenanlc-
nal endurance in all of those sports,
and the Stamina required to hold Hart
at bay was we'll earned. Brusso himself
says that he didn't want to become
professional fighter, but he simply
couldn't help It, he was so carried away
with the delights of boxing. lie couldn't
find enough amateurs to stand Eup be.
fore him. so he had to turn professional
to satisfy his Scarnins for excitement
in the ring.
One OF the most laughable incidents
in Brussels career was during a lacrosse
game in Detroit, when some false whis-
kers he wore fell off during a heated
moment IN q contest with u Canadian
team But even after being exposed
Brusso kept In tic game and conldn,t

Bon is the native religion and the

which constitutes the established
church. There are a great many
lamas or monks. who dwell in monas-

The little boys and girls Of Thibet are
taught by the lamas.
There are three grand lamas who
are considered holier than all the
other lamas. Although these men are
very difficult to access, some recent
visitors managed to get admission to
the monastery where these grand la
mas live. After much persuasion
they also gained permission TO. take
