PATSY BRANNIGAN
Veteran Jersey Bantam Gives
Severe Beating to

Patsy Brannigan. the Pittsburg ban.

received many severe beatinxs during hts
long career IN tho ring. But II Is Ques-
tiona6le II the Smoky City red top ever

Although these two bsttiers began

engaged III hundreds OF contests. Burns
has progressed until now he is doing
the best lighting of his life. BrannigRn,
on the other hand. has lost speed and
hitting power and retains nothing ex-
cept Comoat!veness and stamina.
The result OF the meeting was that
Brannigan was pounded hammered and
mauled all over the ring. was close to
n knockout a number OF times and was
beaten TO a fragile at the close OF tho
tenth round
Burns excelled his man IN speed, hit
ting. boxing and ring seneralship. He
inflicted body punishr,--. that only .
man OF Brannisans vitality could stand
up under and he bonbarded the Pitts
burgers Jaw with an assortment OF
hooks uppercuts and jabs that would
have brought any other man to the door.
Brannigan was shaky In the ffth from
a series of heavy blows to body and
jaw and was nearly done for in the
sixth.
Brannigan tottered about the ring IN
the seventh and Burns urged the beaten
mans seconds to toss In tho spong&
They refused.
When Brannigan came out for the
eighth, Burns, dlTegarding tho thumbs
down. attitude OF many OF the spectAs
| tors, relaxed the vigor Of his attack An4

The JerSeyman. who scaled 11S
