SQU|RES HAD
NO DEFENSE
NOughtOn'S View Of the
Results of Championship
Battle

SAN FRANCISCO. July S.-W. w.
Naughton's special on the big fight is
as follows:
Burns in one round!
Squires, the Australian, has been
weighed in the pugilstic scales and
found wanting. He was knocked out
by Burns before he had fairly gotten
into his stride, and it was no lucky
punch or wandering wallop that did
the trick, either.
The man from abroad was sent to
grass with right-hand blows. There
were four of them and they account
for three knockdowns. When the
final spasm came, Squlres dropped on
his back. His head was raised slightly
from the floor and his eyelids we're
quiverng. He looked for all the world
as Peter Maher looked when Fitzsim-
| mons dealt him that clip on the chin
down at Langtry, and he was just as
far in dreamland.
Barney Reynolds, who came here
with squires, put the thing in a nut
shell in his after the battle interview.
Our people over yonder are Is
years behind the times in matters
pugf1isttc, and I will be at pains to
tell them 50 when / get back" said
Reynolds.
1t was test of the up-to-date mo-
lions of self-defense which prevail in
this country and the ancient style of
| fisticuffs to which the sports down
under" still pin their faith.
On today's showing there Is as much
difference as there is between an old
| fashioned sawdust doll and a cute lit
| tie Teddy bear.
Absolutely No Defense.
| So far as can be judged from today's
| brief clatter at Ocean View, Squires'
success is the past has been due to the
| fact that he dealt harder blows than
he received. He made no pretense OF
blocking anything that came his way
but seemed to be just waiting to trade
I punch for punch. He had no more de-
Tense, in fact, than the punching bag
which bangles in his gymnasium al
Shannons.
| Nor was there anything in the af-
fair to show that he can stand q
smash, virtue which until today he
fondly believed himself possessed of
True. the first crack Burns caught
him was well-placed singing deliv.
cry, but it was not a particularly vul-
nerable spot. 1t caught the foreigner
between the ear and the eye on the
left side of the face and raised a welt
him. The punches which caused the
succeeding knockdowns were a little
lower and the finishing touch was 6
right chop which took Squires on the
tip of the chin.
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-07-08

Burns midriff and was short fully six,
inches. Burns countered Immediately
with another swapping right-hander on
the cheek and Squires fell a second
time When he arose his leg action
was jerky. He rolled around ducking
from imaginary blows and trying to
clinch with an imaginary opponent
Burns waited until ne straghtened up
and stepped in hriskly with another
clean~cut right on the side of the face.
Then the Curtain Fell. q
This time squlres' knees sagged, but
he did not fall. AS he was lurching..
sdewise, Burns measured him again
on fairly on the point Of the chin, and
down went the Australian for keeps.
He was too far gone this time to make
the smallest effort at getting to his
feet and it was several seconds after
he was counted out before ne was lift
ed and carried to his corner. Jeffries
meanwhile had pointed to Tommy
Burns as the winner. and the Shrek
ing and yelling which always greets a
knockout, no matter who the victim
may be, was in evidence all over the
place. Referee Jeffries then handed
Burns the $4,000 which composed the
side bet on the result of the fight, and
of which the writer was temporary
stakeholder ~"
Burns was lifted shoulder high and
carried from the ring by his friends.
He was complimented on all sides on
his clever fighting and it was generally
admitted that he Is we'll entitled to
sign himself the champion Of the
World. ,.n -
Bill Going Back Home.
Squires had no excuses to make.
When seen in his dressing room he
was naturally detected, but he talked
like dead-game sport.
There is not much to be said," re-
marked Boshter Bill. 1T received a
| good licking and I am going back
home. received nothing but the fair
est treatment since I have been In the
country"
Tommy Burns paid a visit to Squires
before the Australian left the arena
and spoke few soothing words
You are young, Squires, and you
may work to the front again, but
will be frank with you and tell you
that 1 will not give you a return
match" said Burns.
"It is doubtful if I will ever fight
again."
1t is worth of note that while many
revile the Australian for a poor work.
man, big Jeffries had a few kind
words to say for the stranger.
He is a dangerous fellow" said
Jim. "no matter what others say.
Burns caught him the first crack out
OF the box and Squires was so eager
to be up and doing that he arose be-
fore his head cleared. He should have
stayed down when he was first tum-
bled and taken the full count. He did
not recover fully after he got that
smash, but l tell you when he rolled
into Burns and began throwing the
right at the body and the left at the
head, he looked to me like a fellow
who knows how to fight and has been
In tight places before. Burns had the
advantage over him Tommy was cool
and was not hurt, and he never gave
Squires chance to pull himself to-
gether."

Walks Into Punch.

When the opening gong changed and
Referee Jeffries motioned the men to-
gether, it could be seen at a glance
that Squires had a height advantage
of a few inches and was also several
pounds heavier than his opponent
Burns looked trained to perfection, be-
ing brown armed and as nimble as a
sparrow. He backed around the ring
and Squires followed, stalking along
like the emu of his native plains and
working his arms vigorously. He made
a couple of lunges at the chubby little
fellow who was dancing away from
him, and then tried to wedge Burns
into corner. Burns dipped in and
clinched and laughed as he leaned his
chin on Squires' shoulder. Their arms
were interlocked for few seconds.
and neither of them could pull back a
glove to send in blow.
Break" yelled Jeffries, hoarsely
and abruptly. AS they dropped their
arms Burns bounded lightly to mid
ring. Squires was very eager to
crowd his man. Burns allowed him to
get within striking distance and did
not even wait for Squires to lead. The
Canadian sent in a Highlander which
sounded like the crack of a whiplash
ed over. He was blinking as he arose
and numbered toward the retreating
Canadian. On the side of his eye was
lum the size of pigeons egg.
Burns Always Backing.
Whatever Squires may have accom-
plished IL he had kept clear of entan-
clements for awhile. there Is no gain
saying that he was all at sea after that
first knock-down. He had little left
but the desire to get close and fog
wildly. There was no particular direc-
ton to his blows and not much of his
Wanted force behind them.
Burns backed across the platform,
and Squires, half staggering, bumped
into him, getting in a right-hand body
punch which made Burns bend over
slightly, and following with a left
handler on the side of the face. 1t
looked for a brief instant as If the
Australian might overcome the advan-
tage his opponent had gained. but
Burns wrenched himself free and
hoped back
The Canadian was perfectly cool
while Squires was still suffering from
the effects OF the knockdown. His
guard was as poor as 1t was at the
Outset, and he had no idea OF dis
lance.
He made a sweep with the left al

Notes from the State Capital.

If these notes shall prove dry
and uninteresting, chuck them
in the waste basket. Our aim is
to let all see what we are doing
here, as nearly as we can, and
we can do this by sending a let
ter to the COURIER, for the reason
that we have little time to an.
swer letters personally. We
hope our friends will bear with
US if we do not reply to each let
ter, for we are kept 80 busy with
other matters that we do not
have time. We work 10 hours
day and sometimes half the
night, and then can't catch up,
Here, as In other bodies where
many are working together, all

means double work for others.
Speaker Atkinson is almost
worked down, and as the session
advances his labors grow heav.
ier all the time. He is not a man
of robust health, or great phys.
ical strength, and these make his
position all the more trying. 1t
is hard to forecast the result of
the session, but from the pres.
ent outlook we hope for some
wise and beneficial legislation in
the interest of the people. In
trying to do too much the dan.
ger is we will accomplish little.
The house has had it's working
clothes on ali this week, and held
two sessions every day, includ-
ing Saturday, except Monday.
Gradually we are falling behind
with the calendar and visions of
night sessions are looming up on
the horizon. There is talk of tho
usual steering committee to sort
out the best and and most impor.
tant bills and push them through
without regard to others, but
this, while often done, is always
unpopular for. the reason each
man thinks his own bills most
important. Chariton's represent
ative IS so much interested in
good roads and school text
book bills, that he would be will.
ing to make any sacrifice of his
own measures to insure the pas.
sage of these. The usual talk
of special session to clean up
the calendars in both houses is
being indulged in, but there is
little probability of it at this time.
If all the members would make
up their minds to stay here and
work six hours each working day
of the week, much more could be
accomplished, but it is folly to
expect this. There are time-kill-
