BURNS AND MOIR
READY FOR BATTLE

LONDON. December 2.-Gunner Moir,
champion heavyweight fighter of Eng
land, and Tommy Burns, now generally
recognized as the champion Of America,
will. tight twenty-five rounds or less for
the worlds heavyweight championship
at the National Sporting Club of this city
tonight.
The fighter from America will enter the
ring favorite unless there is sudden
and unwarranted switching of the odds
before tonight, at odds of at least to 4.
Both men are in the pink of condi-
ton. Burns has trained with his usual
care and energy, and Moir has trained a
he never trained before. He has been
put through PAGES that he learned by
studying Burns conditioning methods
and, as result, he has changed from a
sluggish slugger to a fast fighter. NOR
has always possessed a heavy punch, but
he lacked the ability to place it with neat
ness and dispatch. His trainers have
without stopping to set himself as
he has done in all of his previous fights.
NOR has all the natural advantages
over Burns He has a longer reach, is at
least nine pounds heavier and is two and
half inches taller than the man from
America Whether he can hit harder or
not is a matter of opinion, for both are
known to have stiff punch. Moir can
stand a terrific beating, and Burns has
showed in all of his battles that 1t takes
much more than love tap to put him
down. Moir is aggressive in a lumber
some sort of way, and Burns is always
after his man, SO there should not be
a slow moment In the fight as long as it
lasts.
Burns outclasSes Moir in only one thing,
but that is the most essential in the ring.
It is in the knowledge of the fighting
game and ring generalslsp that Burns ex-
cells. And this excellence ought to win
him the fight.
Those who have seen Moir at work in
the last days of his training say that he
is much improved fighter. But he will
have to be at least 300 per cent better
than he ever was if he expects to beat
Burns.
The American importation is as con-
fident as can be over the result of the
contest Burns declared in public that
he believes that he will defeat Moir in
two rounds. The Englishman, however
is not so confident He says he will win
but adds that he will be satisfied to
| merely get the decision, though he naively
| remarks he would much rather win by
a knockout"
The membership of the National Sport
ing Club is limited to 1000. but it is GER
tain that the limit will be greatly stretch
ed to accommodate guests" The prices
paid for tickets have in some cases reach
ed $50. and some have even sold for $I5,
but the reports that have gone forth to
the effect that seats are being sold at 5000
is hyperbole, to put it mildly.
Eugene CORR, a prominent member of
the stock exchange. has accepted the Of
flee of referee. and he will decide the win
ner of the fight.

But It Is more probable that in such all

an army lay on the Rapidan in the

that Richmond could not be success

distance was illustrated to the last

accordingly when by the second bat
ue OF Manassas he had driven the
united forces OF Pope and Mcclellan.
with all the reinforcements that had
been added to them, back upon the
defenses OF Washington, it became nee
eSsary Tor General Lee to decide how
he could prevent them from sending an
expedition by water against Rich
mond, and thus necessitate the with
drawal OF the army from Northern
Virginia to defnd the city. To have
done this would have been practically
to give up thea dvantage we had gained
mt he campaign from Richmond to
manassas. Under these circumstances
there was but one course for General
Lee to pursue, il he would save Rich
mond from the peril which he knew
would attend its investment by the
tremendous army OF the enemy He
must give occupation to that army,
and such occupation that would comnel
the early concentration of its forces.
BY this means General Lee believed
that he might induce the enemy to
withdraw troops from other parts of
the Contederacy and thus obtain ad-
dltonal reiniorcements for himself.
These results. however, required that
he should continue to threaten Wash
lngton and the Northern States, and

JAPAN DENIES ANY
BELU|GERENT PURPOSE

The Japan Times makes the follow
| ing comment on the American wal
talk after having quoted literally
from mainland papers:
Coming to the Hawaiian Islands, a
similar insinuation has also been
brought at or doors. We again deny
the charge. 1t is known by the world
that our population is increasing at a
very rapid rate and how to deal with
our surplus is a serious problem with
US. In the circumstance it is perfect
ly natural that our people should seek
living abroad, and emigrate to where
they are welcomed. In Hawaii they
are welcomed and they go there in
great numbers. Nothing can be more
natural, and if natural why should the
presence of our emigrants in Hawaii
be a menace to the American regime
there? Has America become Italian
ize1?? Has Cincinnati becomes Ger
man city? No. indeed not. The Ger
mans in Germany are said to be COM
planning that their nationals IN Amer
lea are becoming Americanized and
ceasing to read German papers and
forgetting the German traditions. Why
should the Japanese in Hawaii be a
danger to the American rule there?
Some argue that the japanese are
clannish and would not assimiIate with
the American or rather Hawaiian
civilization" They forget to what a
vast extent Japan herself has become
Westernized in the course of the last
20 or 25 years, in her ideas and prac-
tees, in her civilization. material and
moral. 1t is only blind prejudice which
fears that the japanese will Japanize
Hawaii. Then as to the possibility Of
Japan quarelling with the United
States over the Sandwich Islands, the
same deterrent reason holds here as
in the case of the Philippines. The
loss of American friendship would be
a terrific blow to us, just as that of
the civilized worlds sympathy would
be our death. We have not yet be-
come so infatuated with our own
greatness as to think of having the
white half of mankind for our enemy.

HAWAIIAN SINGERS
PLEASE IN MICHIGAN

The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders,"
an Ellis combination, is now tourina
the Eastern States. A Grand Rapids
(Mich.) paper speaks of them as fol,
lows:
The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders act
at the Peoples theater this week is
certainly a novel and unique act.
The five men who constitute the
act are native born Hawaiians, having
lately arrived from Hawaii, Uncle
Sans newly acquired territory.
Mr.. John S. Ellis, Hawaiis leading
tenor soloist who has sung before tha
royal heads of Hawaii during the
monarchy, is the soloist with the
Serenaders, and it is a treat to the
music loving people to hear his won
derfu, voice in his own native tongue.
Mr.. Ellis was first heard in Ameri-
ca only a few months ago when he
was featured as tenor soloist with the
Royal Hawaiian Band on its recent
tour of the United States.
The Hawaiians are noted for THEN
sweet voices and plaintive music, and
splendid general idea of high clasa
Hawaiian music by hearing the Royal
Hawaiian Serenaders.
A feature OF the Serenaders' act is
the special scenery used, to give the
public general idea of the beautiful
tropical scenery in and about Ha.
wall. This is the highest priced act
ever played by Manager Hugo, and IL
is indeed a musical treat OF the high
est order.

HERMAN CASE STILL ON.

Judge Prest is listening today to the
evidence in the case of Edna Pearl Her
man VS.. Edward C. Herman, charged
with wife abandonment. Quite crowd
was present in the court room to
listen TO the rather spicy testimony
submitted on both sides. Attorney J.
X. StinsOn represented the defendant
and the plaintiffs interests were con-
served by Prosecuting Attorney Boone.
The case will probably be concluded
late this afternoon when it is likely
his honor will take the evidence under
Amusement for a day or so before de-
Gliding it. AS considerable time was
taken up in the discussion of minor de-
tails the court found it necessary sew
eral times to cali halt in the pro-
ceedings long enough to suggest that
he did not care to hear irrelevant testi-
mOny.
