Burns, becoming quite elusive, drew his oppo-
nent on by swift sidestepping and lodging. and
as the blows fell harmless, steadied the Aus

attacked vigorously and Squires, his fast work
having plainly tired him, was glad to act on
the defensive during the rest Of the round

the fighting with terrific right swing that

ANOTHER AMERICAN WINS
Prendergast, the lightweight cham

of Sydney went on for a 10 round bout
preliminary to the Burns-Squires fight.
In the first round, after slight spar

head and scored repeatedly throughout
the round, the American being mainly
on the defensive.
In the first stages of the second
round Prendergast's right eye was
closed by a heavy smash and the
Australian landed repeatedly with both
hands. Just before the bell, however,
the American began to fight back and
jabbed with right to head and body
with good effect.
The third round brought forth a
spirited period of milling with honors
about even, though the weight of the
American apparently was gradually
wearing down the native fighter.
In the fourth, at the sound of the
gong, Prendergast rushed Raff about
the ring, using both hands in wind
mill fashion and landing heavy Jolts
with each. The Australian was tired
at the call of time.
KNOCKOUT IN FIFTH
In the next round came the finish.
Raff started a right swing. but it
failed to land, for Prendergast stepped
inside the swing and crossed him with
heavy right to the jaw. Down went
the Australian TO the board floor of
the ring. The multitude was on it's
feet, cheering and shouting. Slowly
the referee called off the seconds. At
the count of eight Raft arose. groggy
