BARLEY Madden. the local heavy

from being the great fighter the box

Burke Is fairly clever boxer.
knows nothing whatever about in
fighting and lacks a heavy punch. As
early as the first round 1t could be
plainly seen that he was not going to
score a knockout as he landed a short
right hand swing flush on Madden's
jaw which would have fioored any
fighter had the blow had the real
sting behind II.
Burke had a fighter before him in
Madden that he could have made a
great impression with had he been
able to inflict any punishment with
his blows, as he landed enough jabs

the contest had gone five rounds,
Madden was in no condition what

his waist line in such rolls that Il
looked as though he had done little
training. Burke, on the other hand
looked trained 10 the minute and haC

Madden was the aggressor al

gave Burke an excellent opportunit!

must be the test of merit in all who hold
public trusts The rule of public vir-
