There seems an inclination on the
part of many to belittle Tommy Burns
efforts in the ring, even as there is
to belittle much done by Jack Demp-

was a hard worker within the tight
ened ropes. He came by his honors
and his dollars honestly.

giving his title to Marvin Hart. The
following February Burns. who had
been battling everybody everywhere,
defeated Hart in twenty rounds at
Los Angeles.
Being acclaimed the American
champion, Burns knocked out Fire
man" Jim Flynn in fifteen rounds;
drew with Philadelphia Jack O'Brie I
in twenty rounds. and also got a de-
cision over him in the same length
OF boxing. He also hattened joe
Grim, the Iron man." in three rounds
at Philadelphia.
Then came "Boshter" Bill Squires,
holder OF the Australian title. Burns
knocked him out in one round al
Colma, Cal, and headed for England,
hoping to win the worlds title. Gun
ner Moir was the British champion
until he faced Burns, December 2,
1907, the Canadian knocking him out
in the tenth round.
Burns knocked out Jack Palmer IN

on st. Patrick's Day he disposed of

Paris, he knocked out Jewey Smith,
an Englishman. in FIVE rounds. and on
June 49,. also at Paris, he gave Bill
Squires his second sleep punch in the
eighth round.
The champion then went to Aus

administered his third knockout to
Squires. this time in the thirteenth
round. Bill Lang. who was thought
by many to be better than Squlres.
was knocked out in six rounds at
Melbourne on September ., 1908. The
Australian field seemed cleaned, and.
in an evil moment. Burns listened to
the challenge OF Jack Johnson, who
had followed him halfway around
the world. Burns was defeated, out
his record. both, before winning the
title and after it. should suit the
most captious. He was a champion
who believed in appearing against all
likely challengers
And that seems to be the right sort
of action for a champion, don't you
think?

the dope. Scoop" says the pair was

tending one of the boxing shows at
Dreamland rink, just set the joint
1affy
Some years ago Dempsey and
Kearns had a run-in with the pro-
motors there, and they tried to run
the champ and his manager out of
town. Last week they couldn't do
enough for them. Gleason says they
almost shook their arms loose.
Dempsey was called upon to make =
speech. He said that he was glad to
be back in Frisco, where he got his
start, and that any time he could
show for a benefit he would be only
too glad to do so. He added that be-
ing . champion made no difference to
him. He just wanted the boys to
know that he was plain Jack Demp-
seX
A kid in the gallery yelled: ''Yuh
didn't come out on the brakes this
time, did yuh, Jack?" 1t pulled a big
laugh out of Jack, who looked up at
the gallery and waved his hand.
Kearns is coming East to see some
big moving picture people about q
film in which Dempsey is to star. He
thinks there is more money in one
film than there would be in a bout
for his man. The picture people talk
nothing but millions to him. and you
can't blame the lad.

over Tommy Burns Between that
day and July 4, 1910, when he made
monkey out of Jim Jeffries, Johnson
appeared in the ring FIVE times. Six
round bouts with Victor MacLaughlen,
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and Tony
Ross were not exactly rough on the
champion, but he had to show some
thing in his ten-round AFFAIR with Al
Kaufman, and he came within an ace
of losing his title to Stanley Ketchel

victory over Jeffries by going on the
stage. Two years afterward. to a day
he defeated Fireman" Jim Flynn at

much form as ever. Then followed
