Negro Has the Punch.

| Jack Johnson was born at Galveston.
Tex. March 81. 1878. He weighs 1876
pounds and is six feet one and three-quar-
| tiers inches in height. The big negro
who is thirty years old, is rated As one
of the fastest big men in the ring to-
day by followers of the fight game. Box
ers who have faced johnson are almost
universal In their opinion that he is an
exceptionally fast and clever glove artist.
That the negro has a punch Is undisputed
but many sporting men are of the opin-
ion that he will quit in grueling bat
tie. He possesses powerful physique
and will doubtless utilize the twenty-four
foot ring to great advantage in exhibiting
his renowned footwork. Johnsons record
shows many knockouts to his credit. but
with a few exceptions all the men to
whom he has delivered the sleeping potion
are second-raters.
Tommy Burns Noah Brusso) first saw
the light of day at Hanover Canada.
June II. 1881. He is twenty-seven years
old. weighs 176 pounds and is five feet
seven and one-quarter inches tall. Burns
is different type of boxer from john
son. The Canuk. while shifty on his
feet, does not advocate the lightning
like attack favored by the negro He
carefully plans out his fight beforehand,
and methodically wears down his oppo-
nent by continued punishment. Many ring
authorities state that Burns will win out
bv his gameness and stamina, and these
prophets look for johnson to fall under
the whip.
Burns has a punch, as is attested by
his Knockout record. and his most radical
supporters state that the negro will take
he road to Sunderland before the bout
shall have gone the full distance. The
champion defeated Marvin Hart, an
achievement that Johnson was unable to
attain and as a result the dopesters look
for him to retain his title However
past performances are often misleading
and there appears To be but little TO
choose between the two men who will
make ring history at Sydney Sa,ur-
day.
