Last One Round Only

Dublin, March 18-The Burns-Roche fight attracted the greatest interest ever taken in any pugilistic contest that ever took place on Irish soil. Every seat was sold and some of the best seats brought $1OO. The result was great disappointment to the Irish, who had hoped that their cham. pion would at least put up good fight.
 Burns sailed into Roche from the tap of the gong and began smashing with both hands. He staggered Roche with the first blow that landed fairly. Roche strengthened up and tried q left swing at Burns but fell short. Burns then rushed and landed a right and left swing on the face of the Irishman and Roche went down for the count.
 R. P. Watson was referee. Burns seconds wore Billy Neil, Pat O'Keefe and Ben Jordan. Tn Roche's corner were Bill Squires, Jim Clark and Jack Kelly.
 Burns started today for Paris, where he will referee fight between Jack Costello of England and Walter Stan ton of California, March 21.
 Bill Squires refused to say anything about the Burns-Roche flight.
