BURNS To MAKE
HOPES TROUBLE
Champions Re-en-
try to Ring will Revive
Interest in Game.

New York. Aug. 31.-Now that
Tommy Burns has actually taken part
in another bout and made good.y the
champions threat to come
back and compete against the various
white hopes for another change to ap-
pear in a titular bout seems to be in
a fair way of being accomplished.
Burns has been out of the ring for
two years. but he is only 81 years old
and ought to have many goods fights
left in him yet.
whom he stopped in six rounds at a
small town in the Canadian northwest
he only weighed 1855 pounds. If his
is so, he must have done ONE hard
work and consistent training, for he
was known to be scaling around 200
pounds this spring.
With Burns back in his old form, in
terest in heavyweight affairs would be
increased materially. Already there
is talk of matching him with Joe jean
nette, one Of the formidable negroes
who bar the road to the title. But
before tackling a task of this size it
would be a good idea for him to come
here and clean up a few of the stall
wart hopes who have doomed up since
he retired. 1t might happen that
Wo"iu iAA" lAoupie eiAoueu OIL
his hands with such giants as Palzer,
Mccarthy or Stewart, even if he has
regained his best form.
If Burns should become a big noise
in the boxing world again in all prob
ability Jack johnson would PROMPTLY
change his mind about retiring and
seek a match with his former victim.
1t is evident from the statements that
Burns has been sending out from time
to time that he would meet johnson
half way. Having once sampled the
glory Of appearing in the leading role,
Burns Toes not care to carry a spear
in the chorus. However, unless Burns,
is something Of a promoter on
a small scale, does not intend to fin
the match himself he is likely to
find some difficulty in bringing 1t
about.

Adoption of System is a Big
Boost to the Racing
Game.

Louisville, Ky. Aug. 31.-The pari-
mutuel method of wagering on horses
continues to grow in popularity, and
every day the fact is established that
the powers that control thoroughbred
racing in Kentucky acted with COM
wisdom in adopting this sys-
tem. which has done so much to re-
n reinforce the popularity
of the sport I'm the commonwealth.
With the Punishment of the book
makers scandal was dissolved, and
from the day that the new Louisville
Jockey club replaced the machines at
Churchill Downs until now the pa
irons OF the sport have had continue
rs reason for feeling. that This act
and tins one alone has made it posi-.
~" FOR racing to hc maintained in
Erntuciiy.
That the pari-:nutuels possess a de-
ri'trd advantage over the odds layer is
evidenced in a letter written by Cen,
