HERE'S STORY OF
LOADMAN- BURMAN
HARD FOUGHT MIX

Milwaukee. Wis. April 25.-Dick
Loadman lost the hardest fought
battle of his career to Joe Burman
of Chicago Wednesday night. Load
mans skill and strength were not
sufficient to carry him through
against the fresh fighting capacity
of the Chicago boy.
In the last round Burman drop
ped. but il was slip rather than a
clean knockdown. He was on his
feet quickly and at it again.
Leadman held Burman even in
the first round, then led in the sec
ond and third. Burman began to
come to the front with a constant
rain of lefts to body and head and
rights to the body in the fourth
round, and Loadman soon began
to show the treatment hurt.
During the later rounds Burman
was hitting harder and more often
than Loadman. though when Dick
did land it was with a world of
steam.
Burman's lefts to the face in the
latter rounds had Loadman clinch-
ing under the constant pounding
Loadman, however, made a game
showing, and some of his friends
thought he should have a draw be-
cause of the power behind his
punches.
