ONCE AMERICAN TITLE DEFENDER,
TOMMY BURNS, NOW BRITISHER
Nan Who Changes Nationality TO Suit Conditions Learned Game in United States
From Yankee ScappTS.

Tommy may be getting dippy trying to
find out what he Is; but no matter if the
stork dropped him in New Caledonia,
where the absinthe frappes come from,
he is an American fighter.
Every big fight Burns has engaged In
was waged on soil governed by Theodore
Roosevelt. At the outset of his career
Tommy did a little petit larceny fighting in
Canada near the border, but then his
reputation was purely local.
Tommy learned the game from Ameri-
can fighters, and he developed into a top
notcher studying the methods of Ameri-
can fighters.
An American Fighter.
Burns has spent virtually all of his fight
ing life In the United States. He met
Americans at their W style. and worked
his way up to the top. He Is as much
an American as far as the boxing game
is concerned as J~effries, Kaufman or any
of the others.
Before Burns fought Bill Squires. the
Australian, he issued believe-me-I-shall-
do-the : best : Observation-Disclosures
messages every fifteen minutes. When he
went into the ring his handlers unwound
forty or fifty yards of American bunting
from his waist, while Tommy whistled the
national anthem. At that time Tommy
was more loyal than a half dozen patriotic
societies.
After Tommy caved in Boshtsr Bills
vitals in less than three minutes he sent
the following wire to the White House:
81 whipped the foreigner in less than one
round, and the heavyweight championship
remains in the United States. With such
fighters in history as washington. Jack
son, Grant and Farragut, l could not helr

Tommy was met in London by Peggy
Bettinson, the famous international match
maker of the National Sporting Cln o
London, and a few other ring sharps, an'
after %spilling a little juice of the grap'
they got to business.
To Meet In December.
Burns asked TO nave the date of tn
match postponed a week or so, because o
his injury on an American railroad tran
en- route to New York. This met with tn
ready consent of Moir and Bettinson, ant
the battle will be fought on December 2.
Burns's size has caused a great deal o
comment in English sporting circles. The.
cannot understand how the little tighte
will be able to stand off the big, bull

Tommy Burns. who Is now in England
primping for his match with Gunner NOR,
the British champion, has one advantage
no other mittman can claim. 1t is his
mingled nationalities.
In America Tommy is the Yankee Doc
die Dandy Kid for fair, and his favorite
song is THE Grand Old Flag" When
Tommy goes up to his home among the
French Canadians. in the province II
Quebec, it's the "Marsellaise" for his.
Now Tommy is making his first trip to
England, and the first thing he handed
out when he reached Plymouth was You
know / am a Canadian, and just as much
a British subject as Gunner Moir."
Everybody is now wondering what
Burns will say when he visits Denmark.
Tommy is sure to find a family connec-
ton with some Danish cheese artisan.

heavyweights of today are VIGOROUSLY
lacking in the fine points of the game.
Moir has really never met a man of class.
Palmer was conceded to be the best heavy
weight in England. bar Moir. yet Palmer
was easily knocked out by Jack Twin
sullivan, a seeond-class American light
weight.
Squires is another example Of a fighter
OF OK strength, who plunged open at Burns.
and in a twinkling the Australian was n
helpless wreck OH the rosin. Moir must
know something about boxing If he hopes
to defeat Burns. The disparity in size
amounts to nothing.
Moir has another advantage in fighting
on his own ground, and he may show
qualities in his bout with Burns that were
not credited to him.
