"At the age of 16 Burns, finding that
his energies were being wasted in a
small town like Hanover, made tracks
for the States, and finally settled at
Detroit. In 1900 he joined the Detroit
A. c., and 1t was in this clubhouse that
he witnessed his first boxing contests.
These contests evidently fired him with
enthusiasm for the boxing game-so
much so that at the next set of con-
tests at Delray, a suburb of Detroit.
he was present with a number of
friends. Jack Cowan and Fred Thorn
ton, two local lads of whom the scribes
thought pretty well, were matched for
a contest of six rounds. Cowan de-
faulted owing to sickness, and Burns,
who figured from the former contests
he had seen hat he could make a
showing against these lads, consented
to take Cowan's place against Thorn
ton, whom he knocked out In five
rounds.
This was the start of his pugilistic
career, and he received for his good
showing the munifcent sum of five
shillings.

"A comparison of the fighters given
below will show that it was only in the
last two years that Burns made what

In the fight with O'Grady at Detroit
in 1904 it VII be noted that he received
no money. because he agreed to pay
the Detroit Al C. a certain amoun for
the use of the hall, and a certain
amount to the boxers as well. He
knocked out O'Grady in the third
round, and the latter did not come to
for four days. Burns paid O'Grady's
expenses at the hospital, and was held
without bail for four days to await
the result of the latter's injuries. He
then left DETROIT for Chicago and
changed his name from Noah Brusso
to Tommy Burns, by which name he
is now known all over the world where
boxing is recognized.
provided Burns is successful in his
contest with Roche, he will net, not in
