american Heavyweight Knocks
English Champion Out i'll
Fourth Round.
BEATEN MAN FROM START
Evident When Men Went Into
Ring That the Yankee Was
Best Man.

LONDON. February 1o.--Tommy
Burns. the American heavyweight
pugilist, tonight knocked out Jack
Palmer. OF Newcastle, the English
champion, In the fourth round of what
was scheduled to be 81 20-round con-
test for the heavyweight championship.
Some 1000 persons saw the fight, which
took place at Wonderland, n big mus.c
hall on the East Side. but 1t was n one-
sided affair from the sound OF the
first gong Until the middle OF the
Fourth. when Palmer, on his knees, was
1inally counted out.
Palmer was beaten man from the
moment he entered the ring. Burns
climbed under the ropes smilingly, AMI
showed his customary confidence. while
Palmer displayed great nervousness
Without any preliminary sparriitg
Burns went after him. and the frs.
round had hardly begun before the
Englishman was on his knees. lie took
the count twice, and during the rest
of the round was busily engaged In
covering himself This was repeated
in each OF the other rounds, Palmer
being hopelessly outclassed.
In the final round he was sent to the
floor several times, and at last was
barely able to drag himself to his
knees, where he remained with his

count of ten had been tolled off.
Like An Old Woman.
Jem Roche. the champion OF Ireland
who has been backed by a syndicate
headed by Richard Croker. the for
mer Tammany leader, to fight Burns
in Dublin on st. Patrick's Day, was q
spectator at the ringside tonight. His
only comment was:
Palmer fights like an old woman
while Burns Is master OF the art
and. besides, was in splendid condi-
ton"
Tho fight was for $4,000 side and
rs per cent. of the gate receipts. Tho
odds were to on the American. blu,
there was very little betting. There
were no takers for bets offered b:
Palmer that he would stay six rounds
Palmer is considered somewhat
better fighter than Gunner Mor, whom
Burns put away in ten rounds, bu
has reputation for hitting low. Il
being on an alleged foul blow that Mol
was given the decision over him wher
last they met.

shall be given notice OF suit at
least ninety days from the time
the injury was sustained. The
act provides that the town shall
not become liable for damages in
cases arising out of faulty side
walks, etc, unless the town shall
have notice that the sidewalk,
street, etc, has been out of repair
for period of at least ten days.
Added authority is given the
town to pass ordinances and by
laws regulating the government
OF affairs within the town and
the act in nowise infringes with
the present status OF affairs.
The only radical departure, if
we might call 1t such, from the
old law in the matter OF council
men is the reduction of the pres
ent council from seven to five
members. From past experiences
we believe this will work to the
advantage of the town.
Considering the act in its en-
tirety and knowing it was passed
by the last legislature for the
purpose of improving the present
government of cities and towns,
we believe that it works unques-
tionably to the best interests OF
any community that may see fit
to avail itself of the privileges
therein contained.
