Old time stories of the prize ring are
often interesting, so let us go back to
the waning days of the London priIc
ring, when a championship was more
to an aspiring pugilist than money.
There were no purses in the days OF
Sayers, Allen, Mace. Yankee sullivan
or Mike McCool, Neither were there
splendidly appointed arenas, luxurious
box seats and comforts cqualltng the
better theators. The old timers fought
where best they could cludo the
vigilance of oniccrs of the law. and
they usually paid the penalty after 1t
was over by sojourning in the city or
state bastile for number of days or
months. II was not the vogue in those
days to play an extended engagement
over vaudeville circuit after a Ger
tain pugilist had won a championship:
and there were no motion pictures to
pose for at an enormous salary.
1t was short time after Paddy
Ryan had been defeated by John l..
sullivan, that several of Ryans CO.
horts met at his place IN Chicago and
arranged a joke that became national
in its scope. There was big bar
tender living in Omaha, Nch.. named
Babe Burns. He was fellow of i'm
mense size, standing about feet J
inches and built in proportion The
ncwspa pers werc given the tip that this
particular fellow could beat any man
in the world that he possessed world
of strength and was the quickest man
on his feet and with the use OF his
hands in the country. They wanted to
match him against Sullivan for any
amount of money the other side want
cd to put up.
Stories of the prowess Of this big
follow were carried on the sporting
page of all tho prominent papers in
America. and tho excitement was In
creased tcn-fold when tho announce
mcnt was made that Babe" would box
Paddy Ryan at. an exhibition bout to
take place at tho Park theater. in
Chicago. on a given date. II was incl
dentalIy mentioned that Babe" would
be on exhibition at Paddy Ryan's
place three or four days before the
bout.
The crowds that wcro anxious to scc
the fellow who WAS going to beat
Sullivan wcrc out OF all proportions
TO tho size OF tho place.
Burns arrived from Omaha accord
ing to arrangements. He was met by a
committee of sporting men and escort
cd to Ryan's place. There were thou
sands crsning their nccks to get n
look at the lighting prodigy. Babe"
took his place conveniently with one
arm resting on the bar. and Eaxed with
