The San Francisco call., 1910-03-30

I-
on several occasions Welsh did separate
the men and warn Barry. but Barry
: ALWAYS repeated with his old tricks.
BURNS FIGHTING GAMELY
Burns was making a heady uphill
fight OF il and the fans We're wildly
- cheering him on in the middle of the
eighteenth. Then Barry cut loose as
usual with a series OF long right and
. left swings The terrific pace began
10 tell on Burns and he slowed up a
biz and his head shifted from side 10
. side. hut stil he continued and fought
back fast
This. however. was about the begin
- ming Of the finish. Barry rushed right
al his man I'm the nineteenth and with
= out waste Of time he planted two right
and left swings flush on the Salinas
giants Jaw. For the first time during
the fight Burns lost control Of his legs
and began TO founder around the ring.
He was going fast and Barry realized
IL too.
Burns was not wise enough TO come
in close and hold on. and despite the
frantic warnings Of his chief second,
Spider Kelly. he fought openly. This
was lust what the Chica goan wanted.
Swing after swing he let fly at the
wobhly Burns and most Of them landed
10 the head When the bell tapped
Burns was about ready to take a wei
come slumber.
WEAK IN TWENTIETH
Burns came up for his final stand in
. the twentieth game but weak Barry
rushed hm to corner and planted a
hard right and a harder left swing to
the head. Down went Burns to the
floor for the first time in his life. He
remained prone for the count Of seven
and then rose slowly. with Barry on
top Of him. and kept swinging with
both hands as fast as he could swing
Burns had scarcely regained his feet
before Barry floored him again with
another pair of swings. This time
Burns was in a hurry to get up. rising
- at the count OF five. He was very weak
and groggy Barry knew il and made
2 frantic effort TO end the fight right
there. But Burns was A bit wiser this
time and managed to hold on and get
in close.
. They shifted the scene of activities
TO the opposite corner of the ring and
here. after a deal Of punching and
wrestling. Burns took another flop.
This. however. was more of a half
=: 81 his time and remained on the floor
: for eight seconds. He seemed to be
coming TO rapidly, and after getting
: Up fought back TO advantage.
: Try as he might. Barry could not
put over the haymaker. He landed
several times with both hands to the
law, but Burns only gritted his teeth
and took these punches as he took
those in the earlier rounds. He was
:. fresher by far than he was when the
p. final round opened. and the bell rang
F.: with the big fellow doing his best to
?: fight back
It was the unanimous opinion of
most Of the spectators that Burns would
: nave had q grand chance 70 win the
fight had not Barry been lucky enough
10 start him on his way in that nine
feenth round. 1t might still have
. been 4 draw had Burns managed to
keep his feet in the final round, but
those three knockdown surely earned
the verdict for the Chicago slugger.
BARRY 4 SHIFTI FELLOW
Barry is big. shifty fellow, but he
will never rule as the heavy weight
king of the ring. He does not like to
take a punch any too well. and he is
given to holding on too much. His
great stunt is to stall for two minutes
and come back and fight for one min
ute He is tricky and foxy and knows
every in and out of the game, and he
seldom overlooks a trick.
Barry hit Burns hard and often
enough to flatten an ordinary man.
Evidently his punches lack steam or
else Burns is one of the wonders of
the modern ring. Barry's best punch
is an overland right and left swing.
and he can land it from most any
angle. As an infghter he is not there,
Burns doing whatever there was of
this sort of milling.
Burns was doing his best work from
the twelfth up to the eighteenth
round. Barry showed signs Of weak
ness time and time again, and only
saved himself by getting in and hold
ing his opponent. The latter did not
know cnough about the game to keep
the Cbicagoan at a distance, and thus
Barry was allowed to sail along very
smoothly though Burns punished him
hard
BARRY FBOoRED BY UPPERCUT
In the fifteenth Burns caught Barry
2 pretty right hand uppercut to the
point and Barry hit the floor like log
The blow did not land quite flush
otherwise the windy city scrapper
would have remained on his back. The
round was nearly ended there and
Burns was not quick enough to sail in
and take advantage of the nice lead
he obtained.
The preliminary resulted in sensa-
tional knockout in the thirteenth
round WN6u johnny MCSdItiiss DiONhNi
of Tommy, the lighting bricklayer
knocked out Abe Label, the local light
weight with a right hand blow TO the
body. II was a wicked smash. as Label
fell forward on his face, and it took
some time to revive him.
Mccarthy looked too big for his op-
ponent and lowered above him. He
appeared to be much larger and though
Label made a game fight he made a
mistake in stacking up against man
of McCarthy's size The fight was
interesting throughout as there were
but few dull moments.
While Mccarthy is far from being as
handy a ringman as his brother he
showed up pretty well, and it win
take a good boy to beat him.
Label had a good right hand blow,
but McCarthy's size made ii hard for
him 70 send il to the mark.
The end came in the early part OF
the thirteenth. Mccarthy shot a right
