BURNS AND GALLANT.
FIGHT TO DRAW
Crowd Divided When Referee
Raises Both Boys Hands
Aloft as Signal.

San Francisco. January 31.-Referee
Jim Griffin called the twenty-round
bout between frankie Burns and Gill
bert Gallant draw. and worked no
injustice to either lad when he did so.
For that matter 1t might be said that
Griffin had the Endorsement of the
crowd when he rendered his decision,
for while he was hosting Il glovcd
hand of each lightweight aloft, one
half of the throng was yelling Gal
lants name and the other half Burns.
If it came to hair splitting it might
be argued that Burns did somewhat
cleaner work than the Boston puSilisr
But considering that there was not 4
knock down. not even staggering
punch, and that both youngsters We're
as busy rs beavers from the first bell
to the last, ii was eminently fair TO
let them divide the honors.
Gilbert, when lie entered the ring,
was handicapped with swollen left
eye. A suspicious fullness anu dingi-
ness above the upper lid was notice
able, the injury having been sustained
when one of his sparring partners
butted him unintentionally out at Will
let's camp.
Now. everything is fair in love and
war of all descriptions, and frankie
Burns made a mental note of that
pulled left eye when he glanced across
the ring while fitting on his gloves.
And when the strife began, frankie
made n target of the slightly damaged
optic. Tte assailed it with straight
lefts the instant the stools were
whipped out of the ring. and by the
time the first round was over, Mr.. Gal
lants port lamp was disreputablc
looking affair
frankie continued the good work
or bad, according TO the view point
and as the contest wore on, Giibert's
eye became the centre of attraction
in the resting spells, and Gilbert him
self merely a side issue.
But, for all the indiGnities thrust
upon his left eye, Gallant carried
himself like a Trojan. and fought his
way into the affections Of San Fran
cisco boxing fans. He did more than
that. He compelled respectful treat
ment from Frankie Burns, for, where
As Burns has the habit of cutting loose
with spiteful rights when he has a
feeling of contempt for his opponent,
he did very little OF that kind of
thing last night. There were one or
two rounds when Burns worked his
right in Il businesslike manner, but in
the main he depended upon his left, Il
