Burns Gets $4,000 For the
Two Minutes Required In
Defeating Bill Squires
CBy Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO. July 5.-Ex-
pressions of disappointment over the
tame fight at the Colma yesterday and
disgust over the poor showing of
"Bill' Squires, the greatly advertis-
ed champion of Auspralia, are yet to
be heard on every side:
Squires was knocked out by Bob
by Burns in the first round or two
minutes after the men entered the
ring. Squires was not in the fight for
a second, he is branded by all who
saw the fight as "A false alarm" a
terrific right to the point of the
jaw is what put Squires out for good.
He was beaten even before the knock
out came.
Nine thousand people saw the fight
if such it could be called, and to say
that they were disappointed is put
ting It mildly.
The fight proved nothing more
than that Squires was a much over
rated man. Burns clearly demon
strated his superiority over Spuires.
but did not have any opportunity TO
show that he was entitled to the IL
tie that has been bestowed upon him.
When Squires was seen after the
fight he said that he had been led
to believe that Burns was not a
'Knocllerout.'
He had been told that Burns did
not possess the strength to put
man to sleep with a few blows and
this belief had made him careless at
The beginning of the contest which re-
suited in the early blow to the jaw
which dazed him.
burns said:
81 saw the moving pictures of
Squires in training which We're placed
on exhibition. When | saw how he
carried himself and how he acted l
knew that ! would have no difficulty
in defeating him. I went into the
ring with the fullest confidence that
I would win"
Tho receipts of the fight were
$4,000 and were beyond the eXpccta-
tons The enclosure was crowded
and it is estimated that the proceeds
wera between S26 900 and $4,000.
Burns earns $4,000 by his victory,
$4,000 side bet and his $4,000 guar
antee. Squires takes "a per cent of
the gross gate receipts.
