ENGLISH FIGHTERS
NOW AVOID BURNS

LONDON. February 1.-THE easy vie
tory of Tommy Burns. the American
heavyweight. over Jack Palmer of New
castle Monday at Wonderland has prac-
tically knocked out any more matches
between the invader and the pugilists here
that make claim to championship honors.
In the battle between Burns and Gunner
Mo,r. the Gunner never had a possible
chance of winning. and Burns admits
that that fight was dragged out to make
the moving pictures a success.
Palmer was not in the same class with
Moir. and now the folks that paid hand
somely to see the Burns-Palmer fight are
wondering how they stood for such one
sided affair. Burns did not show one mark
yesterday that would signify that he was
in a fight within the last twenty-four
hours.
Palmer was not so lucky. He is resting
up and admitted that he got a terrible
beating. The winner will now fill weekly
engagements to appear in theaters. and
then go in training for his fight with Jem
Roche, which will take place in Dublin on
March II. This fight is figured TO be as
easy for Burns as last nights battle.
When Burns earns a little more money
in his fight with, the Irish champion he
will go to Paris. where he will be offered
a bonus of $4,000 to meet French I'M
known during April. In a conversation
last night Burns said that when he full
fills his European engagements he will re-
tically matched to fight Arthur Johnson.
the negro heavyweight. Burns struck a
true note when he said that he was not
going home until he got all the easy
money in sight. His pickngs up TO date
could not have been softer.

is satisfied with his transfer to st.

his knowledge. he says.
