liz the final bout at the National a. A.
Saturday night. Burman proved to be
the faster and harder hitter of the two

further punishment. The bout was
slightly in favor %! Burman up to the
sixth session. when the visitor dropped
Herman Hindin's fighter for the count.
Tuber arose after "A few seconds had

completed everything will be in readi-
ness for the big bout TIVE the leading
heaVyweights. DOugherty also is ar
ranging a strong preliminary card and
his show promises to be one of the best
ever held in this city.
This fracas virtually will be an elimi-
nation contest. There are few heavy
weights in the country who can give
Dempsey a battle, and Levinsky seems to
be the best of the lot. He is fast and
clever and will make the young West
erner extend himself for six rounds.
Val Morgan, Levinsky's manager, does
not fear Dempsey and says his man
can win the verdict. Before the Demp'
sey-Fulton disaster, Dan was on the iot
looking for work, but scratched Zero
cious Fredward from the list.

- Shortage of talent in the near future if the Philadelphia promoters dc

Johnny Burns, the King of kensington, had a few words ia say o
the subject this morning. There hasn't been n good boy developed in
Philadelphia in years" he said, because the local promoters will not give
