PALMER MADE
POOR SHOWING
AGAINST BURNS
Pnmmelled at Will by American
Until Knockout Blow Ended
Fracas in Fourth.

LONDON, England, Feb. 11.-Tommy
Burns, the American champion, made
a monkey out of Jack Palmer here yes
terday, knocking him out in the fourth
round. 1t was Burns from the gong to
the knockout, the English fighter being
ou~tclassed.
The real blow that ended the fight
was a hard smash right above the
heart that forced Palmer to lower his
arms, leaving Burns the opening for the
hook that ended the fight.
Palmer fought a. wretched battle from
the start. He was so completely out
classed that he could not even ward off
Burns's fusillade of blows, let alone de-
liver any. Burns was so fast and clever
that he hit Palmer when and wherever
he pleased, and when the Briton was
not busy picking himself up from the
floor he was making desperate efforts
to cover his head and body.
Some two thousand men paid an ex-
orbitant fee to see the miserable con-
test, which was scheduled to go twenty
rounds.
Odds of 6 to 4 were freely offered on
the American at the ringside, but there
were very few that had the temerity
to bet on the Englishman. Offers of
ever money hat Palmer would not last
six rounds went begging. The fight
was for a side bet of $500 and rs per
cent. of the gate receipts. Whatever
Burns earned he got as easily as
though he had received it for giving
an exhibition in a theatre.
Among those who sat at the ringside
was Jem Roche, the Irish champion,
who has been backed by u syndicate
headed by Richard Croker, the former
Tammany leader. to fight Burns in
Dublin on st. Patrick's day. Roche
watched the progress of the contest
with a smile on his face. His only
comment when all was over was:
palmer fought like an old
Burns is a master at the art of
: pugilism, and, in addition to that, was
In splendid physical condition"
Burns Entered Ring First.
Burns was the first to climb into the
ring. He wore his usual smile of con-
ndence and laughed and chatted with
friends as he watched Palmer crawl
through the ropes and go to his chair
a moment later. The Englishman was
so nervous that every man in the
house could see his hands trembling
while his handlers put on the gloves.
A man with a cockney accent intro
duced the fighters. They grabbed each
others hands nervously II in a Sec
ond the fight was IN.
Without a bit of preliminary spar
ring, Burns sent his right and left to
the head of Palmer. The latter threw
his arms across his face and received
two more awful blows on the body.
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-02-11

to watch the light-footed Burns. The
Canadian did not lose a second. He
evidently thought ii time to end mat
ters. A blow of no particular force to
the side of the head sent Palmer reel
ing across the ring and he fell on his
face. He stayed down for a few sec
onds and then got up and feebly COW
cred his ace with his arms.
Burns came in, delivered a hard left
hook to the jaw and a right to the
body. Palmer threw both arms around
Burns and clinched for dear life. The
referee broke them apart, and a sec
ond later Palmer was knocked to his
knees by a straight punch to the nose.
He stayed down until nine had been
counted, and then arose covering him
self as usual.
Left Hook Ends Fight.
Burns was as cool as an icicle. He
walked around Palmer for a moment
and then tented with his left and sent
in a crashing blow over the heart. With
an audible groan Palmer collapsed to
the floor. Dimly he heard the numbers
counted and got up from habit mora
than anything else. Burns slipped over
a left hook and down Palmer went
again.
Gamely he got to his knees and pui
his elbows on the floor. His head hung
down between his arms while blood
flowed from his face. The referee
slowly counted the figures up to eight
and then seeing the utter helpless con
dition of Palmer he uttered nine ant
ten rather rapidly. He had no neoc
to do so, for Palmer could not have goi
to his feet for the entire purse.
Burns jumped over to his corner &
fresh as when he started, drew on hi
robe and in a moment had wendell hi
way through the crowd and disap
peared. The Englishman. half uncon
scious. had to be assisted to the dress
ing room.

ut Is true there will be no foot

ton next fall. A three-year agreement
made in 1905 has expired. Under this
one game was played in Princeton, one
in New York and one in Ithaca.
Princeton had the option of renewing
this agreement but declined to do so.
Cornell proposed a home and home
agreement, the first game to be in
Princeton. but Princeton declined to
play in Ithaca at any time and pro-
posed, first a one and then a two-year
agreement for games in New York or
Princeton. The Cornell faculty and
athletic management both oppose CON
tests in large cities on grounds not of

An enthusiastic meeting Of the Du-

held at Sloans hall, on Tuesday af-
ternoon. -,-~-~- 49,. go 81. =
- Mrs. w. A. Warnecka, president Of
the League, opened the proceedings
with an address, brief synopsis of
which is as follows:
/, Every time we make purchase
we become an employer, and work
for or against our own best interests
1t is inconsistent for wives of union
men to be employers Of monogram
lied labor.
In the past the public was not in
formed upon Labor's side of the in
dustrial discussion, and often not in
sympathy with its demands.
Things. are very different now.
Whether from a motive Of self-preser-
walton or as a result Of the persistent
campaign of education" waged for a
decade by the leaders of Labor, the
public at large is disposed to .concede
that Labor has rights in the premises.
1t is seen that it is better for the COM
and Capital than it is to aid and abet
Capital In crushing Labor. The public
temper, in great measure, is disposed
to insist that Labor and Capital shall
work hand in hand, and that neither
shall be permitted to dominate to the
injury of the body polite.
when the public is disposed to ac-
cord Labor square deal, Labor
should meet the advance half way.
/ No matter If, in his heart, the toiler
fancies the overtures are made as a
matter of policy rather than from love
of him, he should not hold his olive
branch behind him.
violence, either in physical action
or in speech, should be frowned upon
and hot-heads repressed Show the
world that Labor men can govern
themselves, that they are capable Of
holding their temper. Do not permit
the calculating diplomatist in Capitals
legal bureaus to provoke you into in
temperance Of living or speech.
TO achieve results, patronizing Of
fair industries must be the rule as
rigtdly as refraining from purchase of
unfair products. To accomplish the
full need Of good, we must insist up
on square-dea1 union-label goods. If
the union woman wishes .unionism to
| prevail she must ask for and refuse
to accept no product which does not
bear the union label, be it broom,
stove, clothing. lamp chimney, hats,
shoes, printing, any old thing for
which use is had must have thereon
the Union Label.
