victory.
Tho next bout was Oh tabasco and
ginger while II lasted, Buddy King,
youth from somewhere arounl the
siockyards OF little old Chi, put on
the gloves for q little entertainment
With 2pcedlOH CugvaFra, sometimes
known as the 'tnsurrccto Kid" Tho
lads were pretty evenly matched,
though King had q shade on the local
boy Ia both weight and reach Tho

there is no doubt that he knows a
considerable lot about the ring game

with a very evident disposition TO
never trouble trouble until trouble
troubles him. and this faculty stood
him well in stead last night.
Guovara put up one % the gamoat
exhibitions that has over been seen
IN this city. but be plainly showed q
lack of experience and OF proper
handling The trouble about Speedy
was that be WAS IN too big a hurry
and wanted to do 81 all AZ once. From
the tap ol the gong In the first round
he was after his mnn all the time IN
hammer and tonKs fashion, wasting
strength that he soroiy seeded, and

last through ten rounds OF such fight
ing as Guevara put up, there is no
doubt that he would win the decision
Ion points. for Speedy refused 20
stop for a single second, rushed his
man all around the ring, landing some
blows and missing others, and In
general keeping things busy every
minute Of the time. The expression

tried gamcly TO come up again, but
as he lifted his hands from the floor
he sprRwled helplessly upon his
stomach. and had to be lifted bodily
from the ring, There were cries Of
'fOui' when GuevEra went down, the

lpudiiorium that King had hit his man
while he was down. but those az the
ringside we're practically unanimous
In the opinion that no foul was com

When the principals in the main
bout took their seats Ia their corners
there was hardly a man in the audi
ence that could not have fOretold
what the result would be. Burke Is
man with reputation as a fighter,
and Manager Levy was fully Justified,
on the strength OF that reputation, IN
putting him on. But what Is a repu-
! tatlon worth when the ability TO fight
/ has departed? The best advice thai
can be given to Burke Ia to sign on
with Gnclle SANS Macy again before
he passes the age OF retirement.

Tho contrast between Burke and

sailor man has about 30 pounds more
on his frame than a fighter needs, and
his weight Is principally on the por,

to distinguish and dignity an alder
