FiSiic History

Tommy Burns, the former heavy
weight champion of the world will
pass his thirty-seventh milestone to-
day. having been born in Hanover,
Ontario, June IS, 1881. Since leav
ing the ring, to which he has occa-
sionally threatened to return, Tom
my has been engaged in the clothing
business and in real estate opera
tons in Calgary, the Alberta metrop
oils, and is said to have accumulated
a nice, comfortable fortune. Tommy
tried to make Calgary a great sport
ing center, but the McCarty- Polky
bout, in which McCarty was killed,
put damper on his aspirations in
this direction.
Tommy's real name is Noah Brusso,
hut he still sticks to his ring name for
business purposes. While far from
being short" financially, Tommy was
one of the shortest in stature of the
worlds heavyweight champions. In
fact, a search of the records fails to
reveal any previous heavyweight
champ who was as small as Tommy,
who stood five feet seven in his fight
| Ing CIOIneS. 1OIIl SdySIS, luS Els
lish champion who, about three
score years ago, fought John Heenan
for the worlds title, was called THE
Midget" but he was five feet eight
| inches.
The Canadian champion of the
world always looked like what he has
become successful business man
In his palmy days, when he licked
every heavyweight in sight with one
notable brunette exception, Tommy
was disappointing to look at, consid-
cred as a fighting machine. While
big and broad of frame, he looked
pudgy and stout rather than muscu-
lar That was where appearances
were deceptive, for his arms were as
strong as a mules hind leg and he
could hit like a pile-driver. Fol
that matter, however, many of tbs
greatest boxers have not looked the
part. Bob Fitzsimmons was a joke
as far as appearances went, and tn;
San Francisco sports who brough
him over from Australia, after givins
Bob's shape the Double o, decide;
that they had picked a lemon in tn,
garden of pugilism. Freddie Welsh
looks too frail to puncture a toy bal
loon. Bob Moha, five feet four ani

Sam Langford always looked soft an:
fat and easy Kid Lavigne, Jo
Walcott, and many other champs hav
been physical freaks, but take i
from us, they could fght,-and that

YANKS IN TIE
WITH DETROIT

Detroit, June 8-The Yankees clos
ed their western tour yesterday with
tie against the Tigers. The contest
was called in the eighth inning to al
low the Detroit club to catch an early
train for St. Louis, where the Tigers
open series today. The score was 5
to 5.
Bunched hitting in the early innings
furnished Slim Love with a four run
lead, but this did not prove sufficient
for the big left handler. He developed
wild streak in the sixth ana finally
faded in the seventh, when the Tigers
went to the front Joe Finneran came
to the rescue and held the home team
safe until thhe Yankees tied up the
game again in the eighth.
Pratt's hitting and catches by Wal
tiers, Pipp and Gilhooley were fea-
lures. The last named made a one
hand catch in the outfield, while PipI
and Walters made great catches while
running close to the stands. Pratt hit
safely three times, driving in a run il
the first and tying up the game in the
eighth

EDDIE CICOTTE
CELEBRATES HIS 34th
BIRTHDAY TOMORROW

Eddie Cicotte, the Chicago White
Sox pitcher, who has gained fame as
the inventor of the Shine" ball, will
celebrate his thirty-fourth birthday
tomorrow. Edward V. was born in
Detroit, and was reared in the Tiger
City. There he earned his first coin
as ball player with a semi-profes-
sional club. "Knuckles," as he used
to be called, had his first fling with
the big show as a member of the
Striped Cats of his native city back
in 1906, but he wasn't considered
good enough for the society of the
ferocious felines, and after a brief
try-out he got the can.
Eddie was tagged and shipped off
to the state which Ty Cobb made IA
nous where in 1905 he pitched for
the Augusta, Ga, club of the Sally
League. The following year he
climbed up another rung of the base
ball ladder and donned the uniform
of the Indianapolis club of the Ameri-
can Association. The Hoosiers were
not particularly impressed with Ed
dies work and they soon let him go.
Eddie was dispatched to Lincoln, Neb
and he did very nicely in the Western
League, where he also played with
Des Moines.
After the 1907 season Eddie again
looked ripe for fast company, and he
was induced to append his signature
to a contract whereby he became one
of the baseball serfs of the Boston
Red Sox. He was permitted to hans
around the Boston ball yard unit
| 1912, when, with a pennant and 6
| bunch of worlds series kale in sight
he was snapped off to the Chicago
| White Sox. That change in tht
color of his hosiery cost Eddie dear
in pride and purse, and he determin
| ed to revenge himself by showins
Boston what it had missed. He go
that worlds series money last sea
son.
In effectiveness as a pitcher CT
cote is surpassed by none, and il
fielding he has a place near the top
His development of the "shine" bal
caused considerable talk in big leagu
circles, and several managers ant
magnates asked for inquiries, with
view to prohibiting this sort of deliv
cry, the secret of which no one seem
to know.

while the members of the secretary's

defeat them.
There is to be an elaborate banquet

in the games at which time W. Sey-
mour Lacy, general secretary of the

cup as a trophy to the winning team
and also awards to members of the
six o'clock class who finished at the
tail end. These fellows put up a good
fight and considering that they are
new at the game made a very good
showing.
Ted Phillips is to be POSTMASTER

at the expense of the various players.

Holcomb Decides Against
Fight and Promoters
Transfer Scene of Big
Battle to Baltimore.

New York, June 18-Baltimore has
secured the Fred Fulton-Jack Demp-
sey fight, and it will be staged in
the ball park in the Oriole City on
the Fourth of July. Danbury, Conn,
yesterday lost all claim to this near
heavyweight championship fight.
From the Connecticut city came
word yesterday afternoon that Gov
ernor Holcomb had ruled against the
battle. But hours before the gov
ernor SO decided Promoters Jack
Curley and Joe Mulvihill had decided
to shift the battle to Baltimore.
The promoters had received a big
offer to take the bout to Baltimore.
: They were guaranteed against all
possible loss. In fact, they are to
receive a cash bonus of $1,000 for
. making the shift. Inasmuch as Bal
timore has a population of nearly
100000, there can be no question
about this being a better location than
Danbury.
John Reisler, who claims he is the
lawful manager of Dempsey, last
night declared he was responsible for
! the fight being stopped in Danbury.
! When tod that Baltimore had secur-
J ed the battle John said he would stop
: it in that city unless Dempsey fights
under his wing.
John claims his case against
: Dempsey is to be settled in the Fed
! eral court in Milwaukee on June %
However, Jack Curley claims that it
is Dempsey who has hailed John into
that Brewer City court. According
to Curley, Dempsey has secured a
temporary injunction against John
and is now asking that i be a per
manent injunction.
But, whatever may be outcome OF
the courts findings, Dempsey and
Fulton will clash on the Fourth il
Baltimore, and that's all the fan:
care about.

AMATEUR CHAMPS
PLAY FOR CHARITY

Philadelphia, June 1S-Max Mars
ton and Chick Evans defeated Walter
Hagen and Jim Barnes l up in an ex-
hibition match for the benefit of the
Red Cross at the Merton Cricket club
yesterday. The match was a very in
teresting one in which some very good
and some rather Indifferent golf was
intermingled.
All four players were a little weak
with their putting. Some of the
green's were a trif1e heavy and time
and again the players were short
with their puts and on one or two
holes some ridiculously easy ones
were missed. ri
OF the four players, Hagen played.
the best golf in spite of the fact that
he had never seen the course before,
and his 76 was the best score of the
day.
Barnes played nothing like his true
form. His driving was erratic, his
approach shots were not always well
placed and he did not putt as well as
usual
Marston played good golf and broke
SO by one stroke, but he would have
had a much better score if his put
ting had been better.
Evans played a good game, all
though it cannot he said that he
was as steady as usual, and on sew
eral holes his drives were off the
line.
