Hogan the latter went up in the air

them just hated the idea Of losing TO-
the other.
Crouch and Cover.
Burns. by his crouching and cover
ing tactics, baff1ed Hogan completely.
Hogan pecked and prodded and was
puzzied Once when he was cranfn9
his neck like a chicken sizing up. a
half-stripped corncObs Burns 1ashed
from ambush. The left wallop he
planted on Hogan's jaw made Hogan
gasp and all but unbalanced him
After that Hogan went to- pieces
and Burns, who Is level headed fell
low, contrived to keep his arch enemy
confused Once he gained the upper
hand Burns varied his style, and by
| free lighting and fighting from cover
in turn he soon discouraged Hogan.
The latter Tesorted to butting, pre-
| ferrfng disqualification, it is thought,
to being beaten down by his defeated
rival And disqualified he was. = 8
Trims Powell Easily.
Is Burns has & a comparatively easy
time with Lew Powell. The latter
seems to have withered up physically.
Although he still retains his sknowI-
edge of boxing, it is likely that inn
! paired stamina will cut short his ring
career. The affair with Powell af-
| forded an opportunity OF discerning
certain, improvements in Burns. He
| has lost many of his anlateurish ways.
| he injects more force into his blows.
From this time forward he will be a
| tough subject for any one he meets.
| Burns is well endowed with pluck
and is very tractable SO far as corner
advice is concerned. He is a rugged
| fellow and a hard boy to hurt. In
addition he can punch with force far
| above the average
Style Always Different
| To attempt to describe Burns style
| of fighting would be difficult. He is
1 one of the most original men that ever
entered ring, and he boxes no two
rounds alike. Part of the. time he
stands straight and hits out with
/ plenty of dash and fine discrimination
He holds his own SO well at this kind
of work, in fact, that the wonder is
/ he does not go in for. more Of It, Al
| another time he is all bent down, COW
ering up and peeking through his
crossed forearrns at his opponent. Il
some rounds he goes in for mixed tao
| tics and he not only keeps his OPP
4 ponent guessing, but has the specta-
tors wondering what he is going te
| spring next.
Anxious to Get to Top.
| Burns is more than anxious to gel
| to the top of the ladder in the light
/ weight division. He says that fame
means more to him than money ani
/ that he will never enter into an en-
gagement unless he feels that he is
| fit to do himself justice. For the pres:
ent he is quite content with what he
! has accomplished. and intends to de-
vote couple of months to resting
| and building up. He believes he will
1 be ready for the ring again in May
and is in hopes that his record SO fal
has advertised him sufi1cienly to war
/ rant the promoters in selecting ar
opponent for him from the among the
men in the front ranks.
Above all Burns will give the pref
erence to Owen Moran. He thinks
that with his added knowledge and
experience he will be able to prove
| that he is the English pugihsts super.
