GOSSIP OF
The BOXERS

Los Angeles Aug. 16.--Joe Cans may
think that Jimmy Burns is easy. but the
fact that the champion is working hard
seems to indicate that he is preparing for
tough customer tonight.
II Joe Cans is ever whipped he will be
whipped by man like Burns-a knocker-
out OF the whirlwind type. The man who
whips the negro must whip him all In one
round and With one punch. Cans rec
ord shows that he can be knocked out.
George McFadden handed IL 10 him after
% rounds OF lighting. but that was eight
years ago. and Cans has learned a great
deal I'm eight years.
Burns is a fighter OF the Nelson type.
He can hit about five times harder than
the great Dane ever could. Realizing that
III he allows Cans to set himself and fight
the battle 10 his own style he will not
have chance In a thousand To win,
Burns will probably go at the champion
the second the bell rings. hard hit
ter may score knockout I'm the first
round just as easily as the last.
Jimmy Burns knows that II he whips
Cans 1T means a fortune for him. OF all
the divisions the lightweight brigade is
the one which gets the money. More
money has been made by lightweight
fighters In the past Ave years than In all
the other weight divisions put together.
This fight will attract attention all over
tough fellow OF the improving kind. His
fight with the Montana Kid, while IL at
tracted little attention outside OF Los An
gees, showed that Burns is beginning to
use his head and show a little cleverness.
Montana began TO sidestep that night (;
Burns found the antidote with a left
swing to the body. and whenever he say
Montant slide over 10 the left he caught
him with n left smash.
The fight tonight may make ring his
tory and give us a new champion. With
Nelson out OF the game there are three
legitimate 133-pounds- fighters
left In the limellght-Gans, Britt and
Burns. The latter is the dark horse and
he has the punch which unmakes cham
pions.
New York, Aug 16.-Jack Robinson may
be seen in the ring before he meets
Sailor Burke at Bridgeport next month.
Sam Fitzpatrick received n wire from the
Reading Athletic club offering 20 per
cent. of the gross receipts fos a fight be-
tween Jack johnson and Sailor Burke on
Aug. q. A convention will be held there
that week and at least 10000 visitors will
be In town.
AS Burke and johnson are signed up
for Bridgeport, Sam Fitzpatrick is trying
to substitute Jim Barry in place of
Burke, and II the club and Barry agree
the fight will take place. Barry is 10
pounds heavier than Burke and would
give Johnson a hard rub for the money.

BASEBALL

The" Auburns and Orioles, two of the
fastest teams I'm the Providence Amateur
league, will meet at the Providence base.
ball grounds Saturday at $3.50 O'Clock. The
Orioles are the second team in the race
for the league pennant, while the Au-
burns, who have been playing very fast
ball OF late, are away behind them. The
teams met earlier the season the Man
ton team winning by small margin after
hard-fought contest which lasted IL In
nings. The Auburns have strengthened
their team since the last meeting and
feel confident OF turning the tables on
their opponents Saturday. Mathewson,
who has done such good work for Auburn,
will be on the firing line. with Chris
Jennings at the receiving end OF the bat
terry. Hanley and Heffernan Will do the
battery work for the Orioles.
Palace Gardens Sunday will be the
scene of what should prove to be the
banner contest of the season, when the
Iroquois champion independents of the
state, and the champions OF the fast
Woonsocket Mill league will clash Both
these teams have been playing fine
game this season, each having defeated
all comers and losing but one contest
The Woonsocket team has two good
pitchers in Cowan.-and Highland, and
place not a little faith in Dobbin, their
steady backstop.
The battery work of Rivard and Con-
nelly of the Iroquois has too often been
commented on OF need further notice,
and IL is certainy that these two will
work Sunday. The Woonsocket team has
never before played away from home or
against any team outside the league. The
fact that they will do both Sunday has
caused much discussion, and Il is safe 10
predict a very large crowd from the Rub
ber City, all anxious 10 see the showing
OF their favorites against the strong
Providence team. The general baseball
public OF Providence are fully acquainted
with the records OF both teams and as
the Troquois supporters have been cam
oring 10 play this team, large crowd
from this city is assured. The game will

RACE TRACK
GOSSIP

Readville. Mass, Aug. 16-At the Read
vile track the most discussed race for the
grand circuit meeting Is the 3-year-old
division OF the Horse Breeder Futurity.
1t is not only that II is the first OF the
rich stakes offered for the s3-year- -old
trotters, but the fact that there are like
ly to be among the starters half asdozen
that have been trained at Readville and
the further fact that the New England
bred youngsters are likely to be very
prominent in the race. makes II OF more
than usual local interest. The victory
of Lon McDonalds filly. Bell Bird, 2l1h.
at Cleveland and at Buffalo. has placed
her In the front among the probable start
ers. but there are several colts at the
Readville track that look capable OF MAX
ing BELL Bird step faster than she did
In either of her winning races. The fast
est work shown by a S-year-old at the
track was two miles in 2:12 by the bay
colt, Aquin, last week. He is a big,
rugged chap, and his chances TO win are
well liked by the Readyille horsemep.
Then there Is the $4,000 colt. Blue Hill,
2:15A, that has been working miles around
2:13 for some time and probably has as
much speed as any colt that has yet ap-
peared. Then there are several others
that have shown In their work that they
ought to be up to racing inte. 2;12 by the
day of the race.
The new stand at the track Is very
nearly completed and everything Will be
in readiness for the opening of the meet
ing.
quite a number OF stables that were
racing at Buffalo have already arrived
at Readville TO be put in shape for the
big moneyed events at the track next
