since he won his first pennant for De-
troit in 1907. OLeary is the only one of
the infelders who has been with the
team since then, and he is no longer
used as regular.

Hurley outpoints Sailor Burke.

New York. Nov. 22.-Sailor Burke,
the Brooklyn middleweight, was easily
outpointed by Bill Hurley of Glens
Falls. n. Y, in disappointing 10
round bout at the Royale Athletic Club
of Brooklyn, Tuesday night. Hurley
showed that he was willing and clev-
er, but when the pace grew hot the
sailor ran away or hung on until Tim
Hurst. the referee, was thoroughly dis
gusted, and cautioned him to box or
get out of the ring. Burke, however
did neither Time and again he pulled
his elbow, hit with the heel of his
glove and used his head while in the
clinches.
Faced by q man who was by far
more clever at long-range boxing,
Hurley closed in and fought a rush
ing, aggressive battle. He worked a
shifting left hook to the body that
landed often and took the steam and
fight out of Burke. While at close
range right uppercut was used tic
good advantage.
