TO
FIGHT BARRY
Manager Mccarey Confined to Bed
with Cold, Leaving Preliminary
Details to Little Lord
Fauntleroy

Sam Langford and Jimmy Barry will
probably be the next card produced by
the Pacific Athletic club. and inciden-
tally it will open the way to the ten
round bouts which will hold sway here
from now on. The seventeenth of this
month has been chosen as the date on

will be the main attraction on pro-
gram which will contain two other
fights, a ten-round encounter and an
other over the six-round route.
Negotiations for the Langford-Barry
mill were concluded yesterday wher
tickets were telegraphed to Barry in
Chicago. Joe Woodman, Langford's S
manager, has been ready to sign ever
since the match was first broached, but
not until Barry came through with his
assent was he sure of meeting for
Sam.
With his main event already on Man
ager McCarey will devote his time to
securing a pair of good preliminary
bouts to precede the big show. Mac is
confined to his bed again as result of
another bad cold, and during his abb
sence has left the matchmaking to Lit
tie Lord Fauntleroy. AS bunch of
the pork and beaners are looking for a
renewal of their meal tickets getting
good mixers together will not be diff
ficult.
Len Lauder is out after Kid Dalton's
scalp, and yesterday offered to take on
the Spaghetti Kid at any old weights
and under any old conditions. Lauder
figures he can beat Dalton. and will
keep on trying for the meeting until
the card is definitely made up.
Jack Worthington, who lost a decis-
ion to Danny Webster in Oakland some
time ago. is hot on the trail of re-
turn match. and will try to get back
at Danny over a longer course than
four rounds, at which they met before.
Worthington, in case Webster is taken
up for someone else will meet any
body here at 118 pounds

Appear evenly Matched

appear Evenly watched
Except for the difference in weight and
Moir's advantage of two inches in height
the men were evenly matched and in per-
feet form. In the ring Burns crouching
attitude appeared to place him at still
greater disadvantage in height with Moir
who assumed a fairly erect position with
his arms extended widely and somewhat
like a wrestler and showing no guard.
The work in the first round was mostly
at long range, the fighters sparring warily
Finally Burns landed two heavy blows
on the Gunner's neck and ear, the sec
ond sending him staggering to the ropes.
while the American himself escaped with
out punishment, avoiding Mor's rushes
cleverly The pace increased in the sec
ond round. the men getting into close
quarters, where Burns showed his SUI
periority and did a lot of damage on
Moir's body He received a nasty jolt
under the chin, however. which brought
him up. but he soon resumed the infight-
ing. Moir clinched frequently and was
cautioned.
They fought at long range again in the
third, Burns being too clever for his ad-
versary. who began to show signs of the
punishment he had received.
In the fourth Burns took breather.
which allowed Moir to have just shade
the better of light round.
Burns came back again hard in the fifth
round. forcing the fighting from the
sound of the bell He landed right on
the jaw and long left swing cut Motr
severely over the eye.
All Burns in Sixth
The sixth round was all in favor of the
American whose footwork completely
baffled his opponent. Moir became very
wild in his attempt to get in his right
In the seventh Burns sent home ter
rifle swing which made an ugly cash in
the Gunner's cheek. They came to close
quarters the Englishman clinched, thus
avoiding the full force of two well meant
rights Some holding caused Referee
Corey to enter the ring and he separated
the fighters. Moir then looked like
beaten man.
In the eighth however. Mor came bacF
gamely and with the evident intention of
standing off the American. but he fought
all over the ring and was badly pun
ished Burns set upon him numerically
in the ninth, administering terrific punish
ment Moir was now in a sorry plight
and the bell just saved him from being
put out
Burns came quickly to the center of the
ring in the tenth and pressed matters
from the start. He forced the Gunner to
the floor with short right arm jolt. NOR
arose only to be foored again from
hard left to the jaw. He struggled to his
feet but was an easy victim for another
cross on the jaw and. going down. was
unable to respond to the call of time.
Burns had taken his opponents measure
in the early rounds. and although NOR
showed marvellous pluck. he was unequal
to the American in any respect.
A tremendous crowd outside the club
awaited the result, and the announcement
of Burns easy victory caused the greatest
excitement.

GUNNER IS
EASY MARK
FOR BURNS
ENGLISH CHAMP PUT AWAY
IN TENTH
NO MATCH FOR TOMMY AT ANY
STAGE OF GAME
Members of National Sporting Club
Let American Enter Ring
Favorite at Odds Of
Seven to Four

By Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 2.-Tommy Burns of
America knocked out Gunner Moir Of
England in the tenth round before the
National Sporting club here tonight. En-
glishmen never had great hopes of the
ability of Moir to regain the English lost
honors in the boxing arena. and in a
somewhat exciting contest the American
had a comparatively easy task of dlspos-
ing of Molr's pretensions
After the fifth round Burns victory
was certain. and i'm the tenth, when the
Gunner failed to rise to the call of time
after being literally cut to pieces, Burns
left the ring with scarcely a mark.
NOR owes his right to participate in
big matches more to influence than to
merit and his defeat, therefore, was not
matter of general surprise. Burns
proved himself superior in every detail.
He displayed greater science and infinitely
better genera lship. and his blows were
delivered with more power than those Of
the Englshman. 1t was an easy victory
for the American, which from the very
outset appeared almost a foregone con-
clusion
The contest aroused a greater amount
of excitement and enthusiasm than any
decided at the National Sporting club
since Slayin's defeat at the hands of
Peter Jackson. Burns entered the ring
favorite at odds of to T. which would
have been still longer but for the fact
that the two titled hackers of Moir COW
cred the Burns money for a large amount
on the chance of a big winning in add-
ton to the stake money.

the government to reserve from gem

Roosevelt Favors Retention Of

URGES CONGRESS TO ACTION
Points Out in Long Message the Need
of Legislation to Preserve Pasture

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Pres

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Pres.
ident Roosevelt today sent tc
Congress long message calling atten-
ton to what he calls the Urgent need
Of legislation affecting the different
phases Of the public land situation In
the United States.
He advocates the conservation OF
coal and other fuel resources on lands
still belonging to the government say
ing that henceforth the nation should
retain its title to its fuel resources.
urges government control Of the wes-
tern public land pastures, with a sys-
tenn Of small grazing fees. ETC., and
asks for an appropriation Of half a
million dollars, Immediately available,
In addition to present estimates, to aid
In detecting and preventing land
frauds. He contends for a system Of
government IcdsiHS Vi Ills MINERAL
lands as public utilities.
The President calls attention to the
importance of such legislation as
would provide for title and Develop
ment of the surface land as separate
and distinct from the right to the un-
nr1x n ~ r,
where these may occur, and the dis
posal of those mineral fuels under a
lease system on conditions which
would insure to the benefit to the pub
lie. Mineral fuels, like the forests and
navigable streams, should be treated
as public utilities. This is generally
recognized abroad. In some foreign
countries practical control Of a large
portion of the fuel resources was al
lowed years ago to pass into private
hands but the existing governments
are endeavoring to regain this control !
in order that diminishing the fuel sup
ply may be safeguarded for the COM
mon good instead of being disposed of
for the benefit Of the few.

Aappiness From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some Of US
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
In number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority of hu-
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore, In conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent Of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession Of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sctously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance is taken Of the
fact that the effect Of mere apprehen-
sion, which Is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey In North American Review.

Irish Sarcasm,

A happy and humorous example OF
sarcasm as apart from repartee Is at
forded by the following anecdote.
quote it on the authority Of friend
who, l am afraid, was the villain OF
the incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westm oreland
street, Dublin, over the O'Connell
bridge to the general postofhce by two
little street arabs, who importuned
him for the end Of his cigar. Throw
Us the butt, sir! All, sir, throw US the
butt!' cried the youths, but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
ness Of their existence they gave him
up at last in despair and disgust "Ar-
rah, let him Alone" said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, it's a
butt he's picked up himself"
I once heard bumptious little man,
who, acting as steward at athletic
sports in Dublin, was very assertive
In keeping back the crowd, thus ad-
dressed by an angry spectator: IF the
consate was taken out Of yez, ye'd be
no bigger than a green gooseberry
and ye're as sour as wan already!'-

MANEUVERS ABOVE LONDON
British Army Balloon Makes Most
Successful Flight.

London. Oct 7.-That the British
army has made practical progress in
the solution Of the problem of aerial
navigation was shown to the salts
faction Of Londoners when the dirigi-
bic war balloon which has been given
several trials at Aldershot camp
sailed from Marlborough, thirty-five
miles southwest Of here, to London
and after maneuvering over the city
started back to Aldershot.
The balloon crossed the Thames at
Blackfriars bridge and, making a sharp
turn, proceeded over Fleet street and
the Strand, making a complete circle
over the latter thoroughfare, watched
BY thousands Of people.
The balloon then went around Ira
falgar square, over the war Office and
past Westminster abbey and the
houses Of parliament, travelling about
fifteen miles an hour and being under
complete control.
The balloon Is sausage shaped,
about 100 feet long by 80 feet in diam.
eter and has lifting capacity of about
one ton, which, after deducting the
weight of the car, engines and other
apparatus, permits carrying a crew of
three men.
