dimensions. However Burns soon showed his worth and Squires his lack of it. Tommy brought Bill down to his size in short order. A couple of well directed wauops in the mid section and a stiff jolt on the jaw and Squires went to the canvass in sensible. It was all over in less rhar a round. Burns was the undisputed champion of America, but he had bigger ambitions. He wanted to be known as the champion of the world. The only way 10 establish the right to such a claim was a European trip in which he could demonstrate his superiority over the best boxers in Europe. So Tommy sailed for Lon don.
 Burns was popular in America but not in London. That is he wasn't popular in London at first. His in ttial appearance was against Gunner Moir the heavyweight champion or England. Londoners were always of the opinion that Burns should have called himself an Englishman or at least admit that he was an English subject as such. Before the fight be- gan Burns attempted to make speech from the ring for the purpose of explaining his nationality and soothing wounded British feelings. But the Englshmen hissed him down and refused to allow him to utter word. Burns was unconcerned. And that was a bad thing for Moir Tom my went into the fray with blood in his eye. AIoir was beaten at every stage of the milling and Burns could have ended it any time he chose, but Tommy deliberately prolonged the hostilities in order that the Eng fish could see their idol beaten. Moir went out in the tenth from a terrific right hook to the jaw. Burns became popular in London after the Moir victory and d!ned with members of the House of Lords.
 Jack Johnson about this time was demonstrating convincingly that he was made of championship material. He had long bounded Burns for match. But Tommy ignored him not through fear but because of a well nourished antipathy for the black. Burns always believed that Johnson was yellow and that he could master him.
 When they met in the ring John sons physical advantage proved too much for Burns. Johnson scored q knockdown in the first few seconds of fighting and a knockout in the fourteenth.

PACKARD MUST
 PAY $500 FINE
 ID PHILA, CLUB

New York, Oct 25-A claim dis missed by the National Commission was that of Pitcher Gene Packard against the Philadelphia Nationals for s3155O, of which $285.50 is back salary and $30 a remittance for a uniforu Packard claimed that on Aug. of last season he gave the Philadelphia club ten days notice of his intention to retire from baseball, and that he had not been paid any salary from Aug. 1 to 15.
 To this the Philadelphia club re- piled that regardless of the fact that Packard had reported to the training camp in poor health and had been of no use to the club until June 1, his salary and expenses had been paid full. The club then charges that on Aug. Packard abandoned his club, whereupon he was placed on the Philadelphia clubs suspension list and fined $500. The Philadelphia club also declares that after leaving Philadelphia, Packard played with the independent club of Massilon, Ohio.
 The commission upheld the Phila- delphia clubs action, with a recom- mendation that if Packard shows any repentance for his conduct the fine of $500 be modified to some extent

Tommy Burns, the Canadian, was one of the most singular types of fighting men in the history of the heavyweight champions of the Queensb erry Realm. For one thing he was the smallest man, in point of stature, that ever won that honor. Tommy whose altitude measured but five feet seven and a quarter was Veritable dwarf compared to SulI+- van, Corbett, Jeffries, F'itzsfmmo ons and their successors. Burns was an almost exact duplicate of Tom Shar- key, when the sailor was creating havoc amongst the big men of the arena. Tommy may or may not have been as great a pugiIist as the sailor, but at any rate he scaled dig zier heights of Fistiana than the in trepid sailor. Burns, handicapped as was the sailor in height, won a worlds heavyw eight title even though as some claim, it was achieved in q period of pugiIistic decadence. With the winning of the championship Tommy Burns inaugurated the era of the fnancier in the squared circle. The smallest man that ever held the title, Tommy had the biggest busin ess acumen of any of the previous title holders. He was the first champion to demand and receive $3O,OO0 win, lose or draw for a battle. Burns received this amount when he lost his title to Jack Johnson in Austra
 Ha. Jefries, Johnson, Willard, and Dempsey took their cue in the mat ter of big purses from the doughty little Canadian who, today, lives at ease under his own vine and fig tree on the spells of battle won by his hardy fists and shrewd brain.
 Burns was a, professional lacrosse player before he took up the fistic game in earnest. It was in this strenuous game that little Tommy developed the wonderful stamina and stout physic which was later to @
 him through many a hard fo. Q
 battle to the worlds title. When Burns first started in fighting, pro fessionally in Canada he entered the ring as welterweight. Taking on weight rapidly Tommy soon grew to heavyweight proportions. His first good battle as a heavyweight was with old Mike Schreck, the two going a couple of rounds to a draw. After this he tackled the clever Jack O'Brien and received a six-round whipping. Burns attracted little or no notice until his battles with tough Jack Twin Sullivan. Burns man aged to hold the formidable Sullivan

VIRGINIA AND
 HARVARD TEAM
 MINCLE TODAY

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 24 If handling a football team carefully for a week and specializing on speed for three days practice will serve to get an eleven to show a midseasOn punch. the Harvard team should set q fast pace today In it's game against University of Virginia. The Southern team Is reported to be light, but the coaches wiU not mind this, as so many of the men are still more or less tender. Fast football, rather than test of endurance, is what is wanted just at this time. as the team is being shaped to meet Princeton two weeks hence. Coach Fisher will send in the same rush line that he used against Brown last week, with the exception of having Hubbard at right tackle.
 If Kane had not hurt his ear again he doubtless would still be in his place, but Hubbard las been regain ing his earlier speed and efficiency very satisfactorily all week. As he was considered one of the best of the tackle candidates when the season opened, the team as a whole is not likely to be handicapped by the shift in the line.
 During the week Captain Billy Murray, because he has played Tn every scrimmage and has driven him self hard in order to get back where he was before he was hurt. has pick ed up his own game, and also has the new set of backs working well as a combination.
 A Horween, slow to strike his stride. is expected to show a lot of power and defensive ability as he starts his first game tOdaV and with Hamilton and Humphrey, two passers and kickers, in the backfield line, Harvard will be equipped to play al most any variety of football It likes.
 The Crimson's first team will be Ryan, left end; Sedgwick, left tackle; Woods. left guard; Havemeyer, cen tre; Clark, right guard; Hubbard, right tackle; Steele, right end; Mur ray, quarterback; Hamilton, left half back; Humphrey, right haIfback; A. Horween, fulIback.

UPTON SAILS
 FOR !. S.; WILL
 SEE SHAMROCK

London, Oct. 25-Sir Thomas Lip ton. the Irish yachtsman, on his last visit to America, in the Spring of this year, inspected the Shamrock ". at Erie Basin. At that time, however, there was no inn mediate prospect of the acceptance of a challenge.
 The present flying trip of Sir Thon- as indicates not only that he fully expects to have his challenge accept ed, but also that he intends to make every effort to land the international trophy, originally donated by Queen Victoria, for which he has tried three times in vain.
 The Shamrock ", designed by Charles Nicholson, is the first chaI- Ienger in the history of the America s Cup races to carry a centreboard. She is considerably larger than The Reso- lute, picked as the most likely de- fender in 1914, measuring 134 feet over all From the water line to the tip of the club topsail is a height of 179 feet Her lines suggest the scow type, particularly as viewed from the bow.
 It is not likely that Sir Thomas in tends making any changes in the challenging boat, although it was fig ured in 1914 that the Shamrock ". would have to allow The Resolute eight minutes and four seconds over a thirty-nile course. Either the Resolute or the Vanitie, rivals for the honor of defending the America $ Cup, would be quite capable of un- dertaking the international conpeti- ton again as originally built

National Commission Gives Young Hoyt, Holder of Sensational Record, to Boston Because of
 Mixup About Telegram From New Orleans.

 The plot now is thickening- On September g the New Orleans club wired the Boston club that they would take $4,OOO for Hoyt, s2.00O Immediately and an additional S2,000 or the player back on April 15, 1920.
 To this telegram Frazee replied: Think twenty-five hundred fair price for, Hoyt."
 Then it was on September 13 that Heinemanr made what proved to be his terrible bone. He wired Frazee as follows: Accept your offer for Hoyt of $2.5OO. Storm here"
 That storm did the trick. It held up that telegram for four days and did not reach Harry Frazee until September IT.
 In the meantime the National Commission was insisting that Frazee close the matter in accordance with it's findings and on September 15, two days after Heinemann had accepted F'razee's S2 800 offer, the Boston owner wired Heinemann that his s4,- 900 offer vas satisfactory. And then mann's telegram of September B. to the effect that the Southern club owner accepted $2,50O for Hoyt Frazee immediately cancelled his acceptance of the S4,0OO offer and stood pat on Heinemann's acceptance of his S2.5CO offer. The New Or leans magnate then appealed to the National Commission for the other S1.500, but it declined to caIIect the sum for him.

New York, Oct 25-Fouowing a decision by the National Commission filed yesterday, Jules Heinemann, president of the New Orleans club of the Southern Association. probably is tempted to take himself out to Canal street and proceed to kick himself around that thriving Louisia la thorOuhSIare. Haiuemann's haste in answering a telegram sent him by Harry Frazee, president of the Red SoX, cost him $1,500, according to the verdict Of the National Commis- sion.
 On the other hand Harry Frazee is COngratulating himself on his mar row escape from praying santa Claus to Jules of N Awlins. H. regards the S1,500 as a clean find or pickup. It all concerns Waite Hoyt, the for mer Brooklyn scholboy pitching star, and the plot hinges around an un- delivered telegram. No baseball fic- ton writer could ,sk for more ma terial than that to begin with. But this isn't fctiol to Brother H inc mann. That $1,5OO wasn't sta age money, but real currency of the U. Is. A.
 It will be recaIIe that in Septem- Der the National Comm Ission decided that Waite Hoyt was the property of the New Orleans club at the time the Red SOx obtained the youngsrer from shipyard team in Baltimore. Waite had pulled some kind of d Carl Nays He wouldn't play in New Or leans.
 In view of the circumstances the National Commission advised that F'razee be given an opportunity to buy Hoyt from New Orleans for a

HORSE OWNED
 BY CHAUFFEUR
 WINS AT 10 ID 1

New York, Oct. 25-Quite a num- Der of chauffeurs were missing from their regular stations along Broa dway yesterday and the reason for their absence was disclosed at Empire City, right after the running of the Yon- kers Consolation Handicap, in which Scotch Verdict romped home an easy winner by about ten lengths at the odds of 10 to 1. Scotch Verdict is owned by Lawrence Fay, who, be- sides being a horseman, is also a chauffeur and he brought a crowd of his friends to the Yonkers course to back his horse in the feature race of the day.
 This accounted for a demonstra- ton, which took place in front of the main stands, just after Scotch Yer dict crossed the finish line. Fay's friends began to cheer wildly and then their enthusiasm over the victory reached such a height that they put Fay on their shoulders and tossed him into the air and otherwise ac- corded him the honors of hero. By this time, Scotch Verdict had been brought back to the judges stand and, as Jockey Duggan dismounted, he was the recipient of three lusty cheers from the merry group.
 However, Fay's joy was of brief duration, for before Scotch Verdict had got back to his stable the stew ards made an investigation into the race and announced that the further entries of Scotch Verdict would be refused during the meeting and that the license of Trainer G. H. Morton had been suspended and his case re- terred to the Jockey Club. No req son for this was given in the an- nouncement, but it was said that the action was not taken because of the form reversal of the horse, which ran a very dull race the last time he went to the post.

Tenth Anniversary
 of Lang vs. SQuires

Bill Lang knocked out Bill Squires in the goth round at Melbourne ten years ago today. This battle was for the heavyweight championship of Australia. once the battlefield of so many champions, but now a producer of pugilistic lemons. Squires was hailed as a great champion when he landed in San Francisco in 1907, only to be knocked out in the first round by Tommy Burns. In 1908 the Cana dian again knocked out Squires, in France, and a little later repeated the trick in Australia. Burns also de- feated Lang in two bouts in Australia. Since then Lang has been whipped by Sam Langford, Sam McVey, and sev- Ara1 others.

Belgian King May
Visit In Seattle

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 15-(Asso-
ciated Press)-King Albert of Belgium
may yet occupy a beautiful home here
built especially for him by Samuel
Hill, Seattle railroad man, when, as
crown prince of Belgium, Albert plan
ned to visit Seattle during the Alaska
Yukon-Paciic Exposition here in 1909.
For ten years the big house has
been standing ready to receive its
royal guest, for Albert changed his
plans and did not come to Seattle
during the fair. Now Albert, as king
of Belgium, with Queen Elizabeth, is
soon to tour the United States. He
may come to Seattle.
Mr.. Hill, a personal friend of King
Albert, went to Europe recently and
as guest of the ruler, visited the Bel
gian battle lines.
King Albert's house" as the place
is generally known here, stands in a
fashionable residential section of the
city, overlooking a portion of Puget
Sound, The house was built along
lines of Belgian design and was deco
rated as houses are decorated in AL
bert's native land.
