Easy Money for Tommy.
Three years ago. over in the famous
Whitechapel district of London, England,
Tommy Burns picked up between $1,000
and $4,000 in fifteen minutes fighting
with Jack Palmer that was easy money.
| Jack Palmer. Of Newcastle, was his op-
ponent, and Tommy said it was a bigger
| joke than the Gunner Moir affair. Palmer
| was knocked down many times during
the bout. In the fourth, when he took
the count. he went down four times.
| When Palmer appeared after the "go"
he was roundly hisSed.
1t Was Very One-sided.

during the whole contest, and not more
than half of that number were felt

Two Real SluEgers.
On February IL, 1908, Battling Hurley
and Young Loughery met in New York
City. The match is regarded as one of
the greatest slugging matches that has
ever been seen around New York. Some
of the newspaper men began carefully to
keep tally of the punches, but all soon
threw down their notebooks in despair
Both men forgot all about clever tactics
or strategy and just punched. 1t was
give and take all the way through, and
the best any referee could possibly make
of 1t was a draw, and such it was de-
clared.
