TOMMY BURNS
GOING To TRY
To CONE: BACK
If Successful in Go With Brant
Tonight, Veteran viii Try to
Get Match With Smith.
By w. w. Naughton.

CAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 26.-Incon-
sistency by name is Tommy
Burns. When G. b. Smith down
ed A. Pelky with hurting right ham
der, T. b. was SO sore about it that he
offered to fight Smith himself
A day or two later Tommy thought
better of it, one of the things which
influenced him being that at present
he bears about as much resemblance
in conformation to the Burns who
downed "Boshter" Bill Squires as
Farmer John l.. Sullivan does to the
Boston strong boy" of the early
eighties.
Now Tommy is at it again. The
lure of the ring is strong upon him
and he is going to try himself out
with one Battling Burns at Taft
onight.
If the result Of the Brant affair
warrants it, Tommy Will challenge
the world. Gunboat Smith preferred,
and bet from five to ten thousand
dollars on himself
Tommy would not dare to talk
like that around New York, where
there is a commission which sees to
1t that the former heroes of the pug
listic profession do not inhiet them
serve on the public. But maybe
Tommy is merely having his little
joke. Going after a fellow named
Brant smacks of wild goose chase
