DAY Tommy Burns, the winner of last
nights fight, declares that he promised
to lay down ana let O'Rricn win the
fight. lie said there was no chance 9th
erwise to get O'Brien into the ring H
said he resolved as soon as the gong
sounded in the first round to break his
promise and determined to go in and
win. The disgust of the sporting world
over the affair is great. Referee Charles
Eyton said today:
Burns statement is the first intimation
had about any agreement between the
men. l am not surprised, however, at
the revelation, as there Were plenty of
suspicious circumstances. I called off all
bets last night after a conference with
Manager McCarry. I am glad personally
that the exposure has been made. for 1T
will help TO shut some of those out of the
boxing game who are in it Tor dishonest
purposes" Burns said:
Jack O'Rrien was caught in one OF his
traps. | could not get him to agree to
enter the arena until after / had prom
iscd to lay down and let him win the
this because | wanted to show the cOun-
try that l was O'Brien's master. IN tho
first round O'Brien was taken off his feet
and was scared to death. He knew l had
planned too cunnngly for them all and
that he was due for n beating.
AS for the bets being called off. was
instrumental in having that done for the
protection Of tie public. l wanted to
make this explanation afterwards and I
did not want to see the public tricked
into losing any of its money. The call
ing off of the bets cost me $3.50, for l
stood to win that amount myself"
Manager McCarry of the Pacific Athlet-
ic Club today confirmed Burns statement
in every detail.
Late this afternoon Manager McCarey
made full statement of the fake fight

"O'Brion all this time according to his
statements, was placing all the money at
his command on himself to win and the
odds went down to 10 to g. O'Rrien had
no intention that Burns was going to
double cross him until the referee en-
tered the ring.
after I found that O'Brien had made

US met and agreed that Burns was to re-

OBrien was finally located in a room
at the Angelus hotel He was suffering
from injuries to his face and hands re-

to see any callers. Newspaper men were
refused interviews. A note was sent him
him that Burns had made pub
lie the prearranged result Of last nights
fight and that Manager McCarey had ad-
mitted that the statements were correct.
He still declined to make any statement.
He also refused to respond to telephon,
calls. Later Nolan was seen at Mecca

was out he said he was glad Of it, and
hoped all the facts would be printed. He
himself knew nothing about it, he said.

New York, May 9.-According to the

en- at TIE French capital in the coming

kin to Paris. In recent letter to his
paper he says: There are IS entries,
representing several countries, one of
the most prominent being Prince BOr-
CHEESE, who will drive his car himself
and seems determined to win. The start
will be at Pckn. June 10. The course
lies over Mongolia the desert Of Cobb
and along Southern Siberia, through
the Grai mountains. past Brisk, and
thence to Moscow. Posen, Berlin,
Cologne. to Paris. The Russian Off
Gals lave been anxious to have the
race through Russian territory, as at
first a route through Central Asia had
been contemplated. 1t is even said that
the Ger himself has taken an interest
in the matter. and has signed a decree
cXcEpting the machines and supplies
from custom duties"

The first stage Of the route will prob

Once Mongolia has been traverSed

uIation may be permitted as regards
the time it will take for the winning
car to cover the distance.
There is an idea that if nothing hap

time by way Of the TranSSiberian

u days. If an automobile should cover
the distance in eight or 10 Gays it

hardly likely. owing to the complete

Tho general impression seems to be
that it will take at least three weeks.
