Knockout = Tillman
Defeats Young Jack

| PHILADELPHIA bantams are due for a
| i hot session while one-round Hogan re-
mains in this vicinity. Hogar. Is not
| clever boy, but he certainly has wallop
Several lads here probably will outpoint the
| New Orleans boy, but for the 18 minutes
| they remain in the 24-foot ring the Phila-
| deIphia entry will have to be very careful
| to keep his jaw well out of range OF Mr.
One Punchs terrific smashes.
Hogan came East for the purpose Of
sdetrackipg pretenders in the path of Kid
| Williams so that he could stand all by his
| lonesome as the legitimate bantam to vie
| for the Baltimore champions laurels. one
Punch did not make good in the sense of his
| prefix at the National Saturday night, but
| as "Last-round Hogan" he was more than
| successful.
Victim No / to receive personal testimony
| of Hogan's punching powers was Andy
| Burns of Richmond. Burns allowed Ho-
| gan's One Punch, which flung at Andy's
| jaw just after the opening bell, to ampu-
! tate the smoke-laden atmosphere, and then
| the local entry proceeded to give the visitor
| a few pointers in boxing In fact, Burns
| outboxed Hogan for almost four rounds,
| then in the fifth Andy made the mistake of
slugglng with the Southerner, which proved
| his DOOM
Floor Hits Burns
Near the close of the fifth frame, after
| Hogan had half-closed Burns right eye with
| a left hook, o. p let fly a rght-hander on
Andy's chin, and IL was apparent to the
| latter that the floor rose to meet him. He
| took count, and on regaining his equlib.
| rum decided II would be best to hug Hogan
| as tightly as possible, so that he could
evade any more of One Punch's careless
caresses. The bell rang with Burns show
| ing 1000 form in huggiEg.
Two or three punches in the final period
| had Burns floundering around the ring like
a fish out of water trying to get back into
II. He was too weak to continue his perfect
| hugging average, so Referee McGuigan de-
cided that the fans, Burns himself even
more. would appreciate calling halt to
| hostilities.
