vEE bantam weight that beats
u frankie Burns. the Jersey City
fighter, Is entitled to all the
honors of the championship. Last
might at the National Sporting Club, of
New York. the Jersey lad proved con-
cl,isively by beating Young QLeary. a
mighty clever boy and a top-notcher,
that Johnny Coulon, who claims the
title at lis pounds, and who is ready to
fight the Hudson county boy again,
will more than have his hands full
with Burns the next time they meet
The consensus of opinion after last
nights fight was that Jersey has a
champion in Burns and that in long
hard fight calling for ali the require
ments champion should possess,
Burns will beat Coulon.
All the newspapers didn't give the
fight to Burns. We cannot see how
they arrive at their conclusion giving
the victory to OLeary. There's pos
sible excuse for, draw by stretching
things to the limit
The first round was even, the second
belonged to Burns, as did the seventh.
eighth, ninth and tenth O'Leary had
the better of the third, fourth and fifth.
O'Leary hanging on like leech, was
wonderful round, and there isn't any
doubt in the writer's mind that a
couple more rounds like that would
have meant "black and candles" for the
East Side Jew with the Irish name.
The fighting Burns did in this round
stamps him as O'Leary's master.
OLeary never did that to him
O'Leary is clever boy and had
Burns bewildered after the second
round frankie would lunge at OLeary,
who, like a flash. would step back.
Burns would lose his balance. and
O'Leary, while the Jersey City lads
head was down, would meet him with
fierce uppercuts and slash him other
wise in close. frankie got in some tell
ing blows TO the body, however, while
OLeary was tolling Off few to him.
Burns in the sixth round changed his
tactics altogether. He no longer rushed
at O'Leary with his head down. He
stood up straight and rushed the East
Side boy.
As a result of change of tactics
Burns turned the tide of battle from
O'Leary, and he made things even by
some stiff punches to the body and the
Jaw. Burns ducked into couple Of
hard uppercuts, which shook him up.
but not nearly SO much as the blow
O'Leary delivered in the third round
to FranlSies jaw.
In the next round Burns banged
O'Leary hard. He seemed to be just
beginning to fight like the real Frankie
Burns. O'Leary started a little dirty
lighting, but Burns kept his temper
and banged away at the New Yorkers
stomach and jaw at great rate
O'Leary took stand In the eighth
round in an attempt to stem the tide
that was going against him He sue
ceeded in doing better work than in
the previous round, but Burns's blows
to the body and the jaw took whole
lot of cleverness from O'Leary.
Burns's fighting speed was now over
shadowing O'Leary's cleverness.
frankie was all over O'Leary, who
was seeking now to avoid punishment
rather than to deliver 1t.
O'Leary fought pretty hard in the
ninth round. The East Slider did q
great deal of work, but we give the
round to Burns because he hit the
harder blows -blows that certainly hurt
the Manhattan bantam.
The tenth round was a wonder. There
was nothing to 1t but Burns. Just to-
show how furious the finish was the
