Twenty thousand shirt wasted, en-

sultry day. The weather was fright
full from a bali players point of view
and after the first inning, the uniform
of every giant doing service was
wringing wet with perspiration. Twice
during the game McGraw ordered
changes in his lineup, relieving Bird

BURKE BEATEN BY ATTEMPT TO
STEAL" SECONDS, DECLARES IGOE

New York, Aug. 16.-Was Burke
knocked out? Lewis has been given
the credit for a knockout and Referee
Billy job reluctantly admits that he
counted the tar out 1t happenek like
this. Burke had been sent whizzing
to the floor with the aid of q stiff
punch to the jaw and he remained on
one knee as he listened to the count
In a half dazed sort of way. The place
was in a perfect uproar. every man IN
the house standing up and yelling like
Piute, Burke seemed to be conscious
of what was going on about him,
though he hadn't the strength to get
up and make a fight of it. Just as job
counted six the sailor seemed to real
lie that he was being counted out and
it looked as if he was going to make
a stand. He pried himself from the
floor and he was about to straighten
up when Lewis stepped in close and
made as if to hit out. Burke saw him
his knees again without being hit Here
he broke a very strict rule of the game.
Either he must be disqualified on the
spot for going down without being
punched, or as job says, the count must
continue on Burke evidently figured
on stealing a few extra seconds when
he got up the first time. 1t wasn't a
particularly new trick. 1t has been
worked before but the others got away

has put himself in first-class shape and
that If Langford thinks he is going TO
find an easy mark he is badly mis-
taken.
Ketchel has followed some OF the
training methods pursued by Jeffries
when the latter used to train in the
mountains. He has been hunting and
fishing. and. in addition has followed
his old calling of woodcutting. He
was originally a lumberman. and II is
to his constant use of the ak that he
attributes the powerful muscles of his
arms.
He writes that he has found that he
can swing the ak as strongly as ever
before but admits that he is getting
heavier He says this does not indi-
cate any lac kof training. however, but
that he has naturally tendency to
work up to IT'S pounds or whereabouts.
He says he will make the middleweight
limit in the match with Langford. but
that he does not intend to reduce so
much thereafter.
