CHALLENGE FOR
FIGHT DIFFERS
FROM OLD DAYS
Many Fighters Prefer to
Battle in the News
papers Now.

thought to h manner in which pres
col nt day pugs are hooked up for a bat
with several conferences over con-
ditions, weight, etc. and then a big

~ Burke hurled his famous defy to the
scrappers of England way back in the
dim and hazy past. Burke had been
in this country but returned to Eng
land for new worlds to conquer.
A short time in his native heath
caused him to yearn for a scrap so he
published a challenge. Here it is:

age nor dimensions: and whether it
be the Goliath Caunt. or his hardy
antagonist Bendigo. or any other man
who ever wore a head. l am his GUS
u toner and no mistake. My coin is
ready at a minutes notice. If I find
the race of old English boxers of the
right kidney is extinct. l shall go back
to America where an honest man need
never want for a friend or a battle"
This challenge is a classic in fistic
literature. 1t was an unqualified
challenge for battle. and it had the
desired result for on February IL,
1889. Burke met Rendigo at Ashhy,
England. and Bendigo was declared
the winner on a foul. The fact re-
mains that Burke was a real scrapper
and he wanted to defend his laurels
with any unnecessary ceremony.
which seems to be part and parcel of
the gam TODAY. The charge OF COM

now seems justified. A challeng so
