CHICAGO, June 19.-The invasion
Of foreign countries by the American
fighters seems to be all the rage now.

ment that Jimmy Britt Is to set sail
for the other side, where he will show
his ability on the stage. and the news
that an Australian syndicate Is after
several American fighters to box there
while the American fleet is harboring
on its shores, comes the report that
Joe Cans will cross the pond In search
OF theatrical engagements and a few
fights II he can induce any l33-pound-
ers to accept his challenges.
Joe's plan Is to take Adam Ryan,
his trainer, with him as sparring
partner, they to work In the event
that English pugs fail to meet Joe In
the ring. Then he and Johnson. being
such intimate friends, Joe says. they
could do little sparring stunt that
would please the eye of the foreign

left-hand hitters, while his curve he
employed either to drive the batsman
back from the plate or else to delude
him by breaking It just outside.
Ii Is doubtful II. during the whole
contest, he pitched three balls which
squarely cut the middle.
AS a whittier he didn't shine especi-
ally, but he kept the Tigers backing
away and hitting grounders to the
infield. This is noted in the fact that
Mr.. Freeman, the Washington first
sacker, amassed a total OF 16 put-outs
during the proceedings OF the after
noon. Not one base on balls did Mr..
Burns exude from his system all the
afternoon. nor did he hit a single Tige.
In spite Of his penchant- for keeping
the ball In close to the batters.
Poor Eddie Siever again essayed to
twirl for the Tigers. The crowd was
panied and surprised to see Eddie
take the firing line. II was panied but
not surprised when he left 1t. early In
the combat.
Eddie, as has often been remarked.
Is retained for his alleged effective
ness against Chicago. Boston and
Washington. He has been licked
twice in imposing style this year by
two OF these teams and once by the
other, to say nothing OF other beat
ings which might have been expected.
He pitched and won one good game In
Washington. He won lucky one In
| Boston. Aside from this his record
has been meagre indeed and devoid
OF success. II is doubtful, In fact. II
he again takes the firing line for the
Tigers at Bennett park.
In the task OF disposing Of Siever,
however. the Detroit club has been
seriously up against II.
No other big league club wants him.
His large salary makes him persona
non grata to minor league club.
The local management doesn't like
to release him outright, as he Is an
asset which might we'll be realized on
in sale to some American Associa-
ton club.
In the futile hope that he might re.
turn to winning form. the manage
ment has hung on. after rooters and
fellow players had given up hope.

BY PAUL n. BRUSkE.

Well. Mr. Bill Burns. late Of the far
west. now OF Washington, has come,
has seen, has conquered.
We had heard Of Mr.. Burns. He was
highly touted as real pitcher. Like
the other new phenoms OF 1908 who
started the year In the east the ex-
hibition he gave yesterday In our
midst was strictly up to specifications.
He shut the Tigers out, to o, and his
port ripper seemed strong enough to
continue doing 1t indefinitely.
We also had a good look at the
Washington baseball team. Aside from
Mr.. Burns in the box and Mr.. Mcbride
in the short field. II did not look much.
II any, Improved over the chronics u
former seasons Mr.. McBrice appears
to have ripened into big league form
in his second trial, however. He was
all the way between second and third
at various stages OF yesterdays game
and punctuated nearly every inning
with some feat OF the star-spangled va
riety. Also he assisted materially in
the process Of pounding Eddie Siever
to a pulp. by injecting a triple into
the proceedings during the second in
ming, with the bases grooming. Later
on he hit G. Suggs for ringing but
innocuous single.
On his form Of yesterday, Mr.. Nc
Bride has several shades on Hans
Wagner and has Bobby Wallace
dashed to the mast. However. the sus-
picion Is rife that Mr.. Mcbride may
have been playing just leetle mite
ahead Of his normal clip. especially
in his feats OF valor at the bat.
Yesterdays was game In which
Pickering. Shipke. and one or two
other discards also shone In the cal
cium. 1t looked like q case OF bum
team playing a lucky game behind
swell pitcher.
Mr. Burns performance deserves
mention at greater length. The new
conner will never be q Waddell nor a
White. He has none of the dazzling
speed or curve for which these men
are noted He did have very fair
assortment OF these goods, however.
and with them he had an ability to
control the ball which was little short
