BILL SQU|RES
ANOTHER LEMON
GOES. DOWN IN FIRST ROUND
BEFORE BU.,NS
American Public Spends $4,000 to See
the Australian Dub Fight Near
Champion for Highest
Honors
BY Associated Press.

by AbEOCldpeu fTeSSa
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Bil
Squires,r the much heralded champion
of Australia, succumbed to the blow
of a. Canadian fist at Colma today after
he had been in the ring two minutes
with Tommy Burns. The men wht
witnessed the brief meeting between
the two pugilists were charitable
enough not to call him dub" They
designated him a false alarm" Whc
should have been pitted against
fourth rate fighter rather than any
pugilist with the slightest possession
of ring skill.
To say that the 5000 persons who
journeyed out to Colma to witness the
fight were disappointed would be
phrasing 1t too mildly. 1t was MOI
day and the journey to Colma was
disagreeable one. Hundreds OF per-
sons came from other states to see tnt
leading fighter Of the antipodes battle
with the light heavyweight champion
of the United States and anticipation
was keyed up to the highest point
From the standpoint Of the average
spectator the outcome would have been
amusing If less effort had been re-
auired to reach the arena.
The fight was practically ended the
moment the gong sounded for the men
to advance to the center of the ring
That the defensive skill of the Aus
tralian was exceedingly poor was speed
lily attested, for in ten seconds he was
prone upon the mat. A we'll directed
right from Tommy Burns fist struck
him flush upon the jaw. 1t did not
have force enough behind 1t to give
Squires his quietus, and after taking
the count Of four he arose in a wobbly
chiOn and ruShAd at RlrnS.
The two came into clinch i1nmedi-
ately but were quickly separated in
the center Of the ring by big Jim JEFF
fries, the referee. Burns lost no time
in following up the advantage he had
gained so early. Out shot the danger
GUS right again and second time the
champion of Australia was on the can
vas with the undefeated champion of
the world standing over him slowly
calling off the seconds.
But the end was not yet. Squires
evidently had some staying powers in
the face of punishment, administered
to him, and he rose UP weakly and
slowly, while Jeffries held back Burns
until his adversary was In position to
defend himself.
1t semed almost a needless task for
Jeffries to go through the formality of
counting the man out. The fight lasted
exactly two minutes and eight seconds.
When Squires was seen after the fight
he said that he had been led to be-
lleve that Burns was not "knocker
out" He had been told that Burns did
not possess the strength to put man
to sleep with few blows and this be-
lief had made him careless at the be-
ginning of the contest which resulted
in the early blow to the jaw which
dazed him.
Burns said: 81 saw the moving pic
lures of Squires in training, which were
placed on exhibition. When saw how
he carried himself and how he acted
knew that would not have any diff
Guilty in defeating him. went into the
ring with the fullest confidence that
would be the winner"

content, for our announcement last
