BURNS COMING TO
FIGHT JOHNSON
Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Tommy Burns
10 coming to America to seek a return
fight with Jack johnson, who wrested the
worlds championship from him in Aus
tralia last December.
In a letter to a friend In this city Burns
saws that he is not convinced that John
son is his master. He believes he made
a mistake in following the plan of battle
he outlined prior to his meeting with the
giant negro, and adds that if he succeeds
ring with him again he will adopt tactics
that will insure victory.
Burns in his letter declares that several
Australian sporting papers stated that
Burns would have maze d better show
ing and might have won If he had not
insisted on boxing with the negro In the
early rounds. Burns was literally pecked
to pieces in the earlier stages Of the
battle. and to this beating is his defeat
ascribed. His best showing was made
when he pursued the methods that won
fights for him in the past. but he was too
weak from Johnson's jabs and swings de-
lvered at long range TO do any harmful
execution.
To these facts Burns also agrees, is TO
be attributed his defeat. Burns also adds
history to their recent go by stating that
he was not in the best Of shape for the
Johnson encounter. He said he was too
finely drawn, year of constant fighting
and the training having snapped much
vitality and denying him the proper rest
a champion or claimant aspirant
should have before beginning work for
q championship affair.
Burns says that if Johnson refuses to
meet him he will take on ketchell either
in a finish or limited round bout. He be-
lieves that he and ketchell would draw
one of the biggest houses in the history
Of the sport. and suggests that some pro-
moter offer a large purse for a fight in
the west. preferably the mining district.
for the Fourth of July. Burns declares
that the reason he has passed up ketchell
was because he thought Johnson had a
better claim to the championship title
than did the Montana slugger. but now
that the Johnson battle is over he is
ready to satisfy the longfelt public want
to see him and the middle-weight cham
pion in action.
