bURNS=-0'BRIEA FIGHT

Los Angeles, May 3.-Rugged Tommy
Burns outfought Jack O'Brien for the
full twenty rounds in their fight before
the Pacific Athletic club tonight ana
was given a well merited decision after
the final round by Referee Charles
EytOn.
From the start it was apparent to
the spectators that it takes two to
make a fight. O'Brien had to avail
himself of every inch of the ring to be
able to stall off the determined PUSHES
of his opponent and save himself the
ignomny Of having knockout charged
against him at this late day in his
career as a boxer. Whatever the rea-
son, he made an Unexpectedly poor
showing both in stamina and hitting
power and in Judgment of distance
Apparently trained to the hour, from
outward appearances, he seemed I'M
certain of his fighting powers from
! start to finish and was 10th to put
himself to the test of the sharp compe-
itition which was expected of a man of
, the caliber of Burns.
One round was almost identical with
another, Burns being always the ag-
gressor, while O'Brien was kept on the
run. Whenever O'Brien showed will
ingness to mix matters, and this was
at intervals few and far between,
Burns at once commenced to punish
him severely.
Contrary to all expectations, OBrien
was badly cut up during the progress
of the fight and at its close he was far
from the gay young blade that he us
ually is when on parade. Burns did
not show a mark as the result of the
conflict. Both of O'Brien's eyes were
badly cut, while his nose, which had
been damaged in his last fight with
Burns, also came in for a severe bonn
bardment. The injury to his eyes
would have had the effect of impairing
his judgment Of distance, but he used
so few of his opportunities in this re-
spect that it could hardly be called
handicap to him.

LOCAL DIAMOND DUST

Those who read the Bulletin last
evening were surprised to learn that
Barney JOY had been made an oifer by
the st. Louis American League team.
Various opinions were expressed on
the merits of this story. 1t comes first
handed from Barney himself but it
seems hard for an outsider to believe.
Should JOY have received this offer
1t will have been the first time that
ian unknown, such as JOY, was ever
made such a proposition.
Here is a lad who goes from Homo
zulu, city unknown in baseball, joins
San Francisco, which is third rate
team. loses his first two games and is
touted as a green one at the business.
To think that man with such rep
should be offered such a chance seems
impossible.
Joy has signed for two seasons with
the Frisco team and if he proves to
he such wonder Mr.. d. Long, man
ager of that team, will make a nice
piece of money by selling JOY. The
mere fact that Long is holding JOY
argues that the latter must have some
future or al least has the ear marks
| of a conner. Time alone will tell.
Barney is dissatisfied that is sure.
1t plainly shows up in all reports re-
ceived and as long as this state of af-
| fairs prevail he will never make good.
A pitcher can not do himself justice
when he is not suited.
Joy is a Zig, strong lad and has
| all of the qualities that go to make up
d successful pitcher. We predict that
the longing to get back to his native
| land will be too strong.
:: :: :;
The Rams are in bad way for Sat
urdays game against the Diamond
! Heads. 1t is reported that Miller, their
shortstop has gone to Kauai and VIII
not be here for the game. Kuhina,
their first baseman, has bad hand,
having been hit by a pitched ball in
last Saturdays game. This will cause
, the Rams to make a material Shift in
their team and it will cause a general
shake up.
Lemon is back from the Coast and
may be seen at his old post in the field.

Hall Novelty Manufacturing
Company to Remove Plant
Here From Minneapolis.
BUSINESS TO BE ENLARGED
Products Include Wire Novelties and
Specialties-Secured Through
the Industrial Commission.

The advantages that Rock Island
has in the way of freight rates and
facilities, coupled with the energetic
work of the Rock Island Industrial
commission and F. G.. Young. have re
suited in the closing of arrangements
whereby another industry, the Hall
Novelty Manufacturing company of
Minneapolis will be brought to this
city. The negotiations in progress
were referred to in The Argus last
evening. w. c. Willets, the head of
the company, has been in the city and
has. with the assistance of the COM
mission and Mr. Young, closed nego-
tiations for the unoccupied part of the
Wagner building on Fifth avenue adj

Mr.. Willets is enthusiastic over the
advantages this city offers for manu-
featuring industries, and he also
speaks very highly of the Industrial
commission and of Mr.. YOung's efforts
in the movement to secure additional
factories. The saving of freight rates
for the business in Rock Island is
about 80 per cent. and the investiga-
ton made by Mr. Willets has convinc-
ed him of the citys advantages over
other points in this part of the coun-
try.
VIII Be Enlarged.
The Hall Novelty Manufacturing
company is incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota and will be incorporated
in Illinois in the near future. The COM
pany has a capital of $25 900 Mr.. VIII
lets holding the control. The business
will be enlarged here and the eXpecta-
ton is that within a year 200 men will
be employed. At the outset between
20 and 80 men will be employed. The
removal of the plant to this city will
bring to this city only the families or
those at the head of the institution.
Is Established business,
The company has been in business
for several years, and last year sup
piled its products to 20 states. The
company manufactures wire novelties,
and has made a special line of wire
doll buggies. The plant will be in
charge of Mr.. Willets personally. The
transfer of the factory equipment
will be made as soon as possible and
the plant put in operation in this city.
This is the second new factory Sc
cured for the city by the Industrial
which has been announc-
ed within a few days.
