Boise. Idaho, May s. There was
no great influx of visitors today, the
newspaper and magazine writer's and
others whose business has called
them here, having arrived singly and

almost entirely to the new comers.

Burns of Los Angeles won HE heavy
weight championship OF the world
from philadelphia Jack OBrien
before the Pacific Athletic club here
tonight after 20 rounds of fighting
that was for the most part foot
race OBrieu ran away from Burns
from the first round TO the finish and
only occasionally was the latter able
to overtake him. Then O.Brien in
variably clinched with Burns and
held on until the referee pried them
apart, The crowd hooted and ieered
O'Brien and hurled all SORTS OF rail
lery at him as he raced about the
ring But very few blows OF any
vigor were landed by either man and
neither suffered any apparent dam
age O'Brien landed many light
blows al long rage on Burns head
and face during his capers about the
enclosure, but they were absolutely
qnent. The referee had the greatest
difficulty in prying the men apart. or
rather, prying O'Brien loose from
Burns. The referee cautioned O'Brien
about his holding on tac-
ties and finally told him he must
stop it.
Each round was largely a repeti-
tion of the preceding one Burns had
the better of most of them when
ever he was able to corner his man
and get at him The twelfth round
was strongly in Burns favor Dur
ine this round Burns laid O Brien g
eft eye open with a terrific overland
right, the blood streaming down
O'Brien's face The latter called 10
his seconds something about hie in
jury and shook his head in pain
Again in the fifteenth round Burns
caught his man going away and laid
open the same eye again which had
been patched up with court plaster
OBrien occasionally attempted un-
fair tactics by holding Burns head
under his arm and trying to use his
elbow. The referee cautioned him,
and he quit it.
