BURNS PUMMELED
BRITISH ''CHUMP"
Joe Beckett Shouted "Take Him
Off" to Those Watching
His Licking.

That Tommy Burns, one-time
heavyweight champion of the world.
had a run-in with Joe Beckett in Eng
land recently and came out with flying
colors, was cabled to this country,
but just how badly the British cham
pion was mauled was unknown.
James Burke, an American at present
in London, was on the scene of action,
and sends the following extract from
a London paper describing the fracas.
He states that Burns punched Beck
EFT until that much-licked pug yelled
to bystanders Take him Off" Here
Is the story:
An unofficial "dust-up" between
Tommy Burns and Joe Beckett at
Leeds has been the subject of sensa-
tional rumors in the boxing world.
The Sunday Express has made first-
hand inquiries and is able to tell the
correct story.
1t seems that on the day following
the Northern Union football match be-
tween England and Wales at Leeds
when Carpenter, Beckett, Burns, and
Wilde were honored spectators and
were duly photographed in front Of
an admiring crowd. a difference arose
between Burns and Beckett.
Beckett, 1t is understood, objected
to certain article of Burns's
wherein a description of the Moran
Beckett fight suggested criticism Of
the manner in which the Southamp-
ton heavyweight champion stood up
to the American boxer. Beckett re-
sented innuendoes contained in the
article, and especially the sugges-
ton that he was so fearful of Moran's
MARY Ann" that he went down and
stayed down before a vacuum"
punch
At the hotel in Leeds Burns saw
Beckett and went across to shake
hands with Southampton's idol. But
Beckett 1t is said, refused. In fact.
he was so incensed with Tommy
Burns that when he met him after
ward in the corridor which led to
the bedrooms he went up to the light
heavyweight boxer and said:
"Did you say I was a coward when
fought Moran
Words followed. Beckett was furi-
Gus. Burns stood his ground.
In a moment smashing blows were
being exchanged. 1t was a fercer
fight than was ever Witnessed at the
Albert Hall or even in the good old
days" of boxing.
There was no quarter, no sparring
for points. At one moment Beckett
was down; in another he was up
again, his collar torn from his shirt.
his coat despatched with blood. Both
men were thoroughly reused and
seemingly ready to fight to the bitter
end.
Friendly counsels finally prevailed:
explanations were forthcoming, and
the boxers shook hands, went to din
ner together, and later in the eyeninp
visited the Empire Theater Next dav
they were both boxing different on
ponents and backing each other 10

VANDERBILT RACES
WERE GREAT THINGS
Proposed Resumption Brings
Back Memories of Pictur-
esque Event.

The proposed renewal of the auto
mobile road race on Long Island
brings back memories OF one of the
most picturesque events in American
sporting annals. Years ago the Van
derbilt Cup race held the nations
breathless attention. The twists and
bends of the Nassau county highways
furnished innumerable thrilling feats
OF driving which are missing in the
present-day monotonous speed tests
on smooth-surfaced speedways
To watch the daredevil drivers
come up out of the mist of the rosy
October dawn as they tore around
the perilous curves at Krug's Corner.
Hicksville, and Westbury was a sight
which tingled the nerves of thou
sands and thousands of spectators
Vanderbilt Cup Day was a holiday.
The exodus left the city the night
before and the roadsides about the
course were lighted with the bonfires
of the automobile parties waiting
through the night for the coming OF
day and the start of the race.
Then there were those nights OF
revelry and fun at Garden City on
the night before the race, when no
one closed an eve. Tents on the
lawn in front of the Garden City Ho-
tel protected the overflow from the
chill night air.
Those were the gay, glad days
when the nighthawks had other
means OF warmth and comfort be-
sides the bonfres.
II the road race Is revived there
will have to be many more bonfires
on the Long Island roads than there
were in the old days.
The first Vanderbilt Cup race was
run in 1904 with amateur and pro-
fessional drivers. II was won by an
American amateur, George Heath,
driving as member OF the French
team. Hemery, Wagner, Robertson,
Tracy, Grant. and Lancia were all
prominent DIVERS in the motor
classic. The host spectacular driver
was Lancia, although he never An
