TOMMY BURNS IS s5

When Noah Brusso, alias Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion of the world, and subsequently, Cal gary haberdasher and New Orleans boxing promoter and referee, an nounced not long ago his intention to pull a comeback, the fight fans chor- tied at the idea. Tommy is pictured as a patriarch with flowing beard and bent shoulders, but as a matter of fact the only Canadian-born heavyweight champion will be 35 tomorrow, having been born at Hanover, Ont, June IT, 1S81 Tommy quit the ring after his defeat by Johnson in 1908, and settled in Calgary, where he engaged in the business of supplying the smart dressers of the Alberta metropolis with the latest in sartorial embellishments. In 1910 he pulled Patti in Australia, whipping Bill Lang in 20 rounds at Sydney. For couple of years he re- mained in retirement, but emerged in 1912 to whip Bill Rickard at Saska- short go with Arthur Pelkey in Cal agry, and then promoted the tragic Pelkey- -McCarty bout in that city. In 1914 Tommy had another whirI at the game at Taft, Cal, picking for his purpose a two-legged quince known as Battling Brandt. Tommy has been quite successful as a promoter in the Crescent City, but his decisions as a referee have not always been in ac- cordance with the popular opinion. The ex-champion predicts that Fred Fulton will make good in the ring, and with proper training he believes that the Minnesota giant has a good chance to cop the championship.

MISS BISHOP IN GOLF TOURNEY IS
 AFTER THE TITLE

New York, June 16-Mrs. Quentin F. F'eitner defended her title as cham pion woman golfer of the Metropo1- itan District today against Miss Georgianna Bishop, of Brook1awh, who eliminated Mrs. w. A. Gavin, the little English woman, in the semi final round yesterday at Baltrusol.
 It was only last week that Mrs Gavin won the Eastern championship at Boston, and she was a strong fla Vorite to win this tournament. That Miss Bishop should defeat her was somewhat of a surprise, as MT. Gavin has played far the best golf up to yesterdays match.
 Winning championships is nothing out of the ordinary to Miss Bishop whoh as held this title on two oc- casions, and has twice been runner up. In 1904 she had the honor Of being the National champion, winning the title at the Merton Cricket Club, at Philadelphia
 In 1907 and 1908 she won the Met ropolitan championship, and it was thought that she had played her best golf, asEn 1913 and 1914 she reached the final round, but was defeated each time.

Mike Gibbons, Sore at II Criticism, Is Willing
 To Take On Anybody

New York, June 16-Mike Gib- bons. the Minneapolis phantom, who vxr fairly smothered with verbal jabs r4ao uppercuts as a result of his un- Satisfactory fight with Ted Lewis. at Madison Square Garden, New York;. a short time ago, is going around with a Chip on his shoulder as big as a stick Af stove wood. His usually placid =ASuper is sadly out of gear because of Rkes unlxind things said about him by .NaNgIern critics Mike is asserting a burning, devouring desire to meet any fighter in the world at any weight Between 150 and 16o pounds
 The phantom takes strong excep- lions to the critics views of his show ing against Lewis. Some of the writ Sers went so far as to say that Mike Was much overrated scrapper and that he had been keeping in the lime light largely because of his perform ancess against second-raters.
 z9 That made Mike so mad that he gave up tanning temper as bad jop Just to show what he thinks of the 1topnotchers among the middleweights he says he will not hesitate a second Yin clashing with Jack Dillon, the Hoosier whir1wind, who has been Showing most creditab1y in his re- cent ring endeayors. Weight? Pooh! If Dillon can't make 160 pounds he can come In at heavier pOunusASS- That's how Mike feels about it now
 The phantom says he is not dissat- fsfied with his showing against Lewis What the critics thought of his show ling against the Brfton has convinced Mike that they don't know very much about the fight game, although they are drawing real money for Wr1nng all about it. He declares Lewis en- tered the ring with the sole intention of not being rendered hors de com bat, that the foreigner did not as- suneS the offensive at any stage of the proceedings and that his (Mike's( hands suffered frightfuliy as a result of the pumrneling he dealt out to his crafty opponent
 Mike says that if he is a second . rater, as some of the eastern critics intimated, he has proved his "class by defeating such men as Jimmy Clabby. Eddie McGoorty, Jeff Smith and oung Ahearn. Now the plan tom is willing that the New York sporting writers select any man in the neighborhood of his division for him to meet in the ring. He draws thed dine at no one. but shows preference I for Jack Dillon.
 Gibbons wants the customers to get together on the matter at their earH- est possible convenience, for he is fair 1y aching to prove that he did not deserve the merci1ess banning and that he can take care of himself in The cIassiest circles of fstiana~

The Moss Troopers.

Moss troopers was the name given to the desperate plunderers and robbers who secreted themselves throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the t1mosses' on the borders of Scot land These outlaws were largely made up of deserters and criminals from the armies of England and the continent, and their depredations and cruelties were the terror of the region infested by them. Many severe laws were passed against them, but they were not fairly exdrpated until the eighteenth century.

The Eayptian Saw.

The saw appears to be the earliest tool that has been traced in Egyptian history. It was found first in the form of a notched bronze knife in the third dynasty, or about 5000 years before the Christian era, and was followed in the fourth and fifth dynasties by larger toothed saws. which were used by car penters. but there are no dated spect- mems until the seventh century before the Christian era, when the Assyrians used iron saws. The first knives on record were made out of flint and were, in fact, saws with minute teeth.
