BURNS MEETS ROCHE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
MUCH INTEREST IN HEAVY

the American champion is a favOrite
in his fight tonight with Jem Roche,
the Irish heavyweight champion. al
tho ugh loyal Irishmen are heavily
backing Roche to stay six rounds Wit:
the Yankee. 1t is generally admitted
by istic experts that the victory OF
Burns is only matter of time, but
.he admirers of Roche believe he VIII
make a better showing than did Palmer
Ter Moir.
The fight is for $500 a side and a
purse of $500 offered by a Dublin
syndicate, I.eaded by Richard Croker.
the former Tammany boss of New
York Roche is another Peter Maher,
as Peter was when first discovered
by Billy Madden on the Ould Sod.
He is huskily built. very much on
the lines of Tommy Burns himself. He
doesn't know a quarter, probably, of
what Burns knows in the boxing line.
But he is sturdy, smuggling fighter.
Recently, Roche whipped Williams,
who, four years ago, knocked out Gum
ner Moir in two rounds.
! BCrns takes & more serious view OF
| his fight with Roche than of any pre-
vious ones on this side of the water,

and gymnasium work. with occasional
sparring Burns has announced that ne
will leave for America about the first

iect to hold the fight in England hav-
ling fallen through. He may possibly
visit France before going home. as he
has received a flattering offer to take

weights and the Parisians are anxious

On the pushoff, Smails for Main

but the Alder sprouts quickly braced
and soon there was nothing to do but
wait for the time to yell. 1t was a
great and glorious contest. Men who

ergy of their earlier days and things

war dance.
