Canadian fist at Colma today, after he
had been in the ring two minutes
with Tommy Burns. The men who

the two pugilists were charitable
enough not to call him a dub" They
designated his as "false alarm" who
should have pitted himself against q
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 pc
phrasing it too mildly. It was hot
day and the journey to Colma was a
disagreeable one. Hundreds OF per
sons came from other states to see the
leading fighter of the antipodes battle
with the heavyweight champion OF the
United States and anticipation was
keyed up to the highest point. From
the standpoint Of the average specta
tor the outcome would have been
amusing if less effort had been re
quired to reach the arena.
