JOE BURMAN SCORES
OVER MIDGET SMITH
Chieagoan's Clinching Tactics
Prevent Local Lad From
Doing His Best.
ny CHARLES +. MATHIsoN.

Joe Burman Of Chicago received the
judges decision at the end OF a twelve
round bout with Midget Smith in Madi-
son Square Garden last night. The con-
test was disappointing. II was marred
by the Chicagoar's clinching tactics.
which not only made the encounter a
slow one, but prevented Smith. natural
fighter. from doing his best
Burman also offended in the matter
of hitting low He landed on Smith
below the belt in the seventh round with
sufficient force to cause the recipient to
double over. The referee started toward
the men to ascertain the extent OF
Smiths injury. but the little fellow
waved him away and went on fighting
rs though nothing happened Burman
landed blow low on one other occa-
sion and that combined with his clinch-
ing apparently was not taken into ac-
count by the judges in computing points.
Smith was the aggresSor throughout
and forced the pace. Burman showed
he is the most expert clincher in the
boxing game. He employed this style
Of tactics in way to neutralize Smiths
efforts and keep himself out of danger
Buff is not in any special danger from
either.
The contest between Pepper Martin
or Brooklyn and Sammy Seiger of the
East Side, ended in the third round, when
Seiger fell to the floor writhing with
pain and claiming to have been hit low
Referee Patsy Haley sustained Seiger's
claim and announced that while the
blow was foul IL was unintentional.
Seiger was carried to his corner by his
seconds. and during an argument over
the question Of whether or not the blow
was foul or fair the seconds of the box
ers came into conflict and were ex-
changing thumps at a lively rate when
a bevy Of policemen jumped into the
ring and stopped the battle royal
Up 10 the time of the foul blow the
battle between the two featherweights
was practically even. Martin was carry
ing the fight and showed the more ag-
gressiveness. Seiger, however. was land
ing frequently with his LETT on Martins
face. The East Slider did considerable
chnchng. There was bad blood between
the men when they entered the ring,
owing to the fact that Martin had col
lected Seiger's weight forfeit. Martin
weighed i27A and Seiger 1914
Carroll Beats McCabc.
Jimmy Carroll won rather slow con-
test from Mickey McCabe in the open
ing bout. Carroll knew a little about
boxing that gave him an advantage over
McCabe, who is guiltless of any scientific
knowledge of the game.
The second contest brought into the
ring Johnny Mendelsohn of Milwaukee,
who made his first appearance in this
city and the veteran Pete Hartley, who
is aged and slow, but still combatant.
Hartley exerted himself more than usual
and extended the Milwaukee man TO tn ,
utmost. Mendelsohn received the award
Of the judges. but his margin of vic
tory was not wide enough to warrant
him to seek match with Leonard at
this stage Of the game.
The Milwaukee man is a short, stoclSy,
vigorous chap and Is willing to fight at
all stages, but he Is painfully muscle
bound and his hitting is ineffective.

Special Dispatch 10 TIE NEW York HERALD
NEW ORLEANS. La. March 20.-The
Yankees are not going TO have walk
over in the coming American League
pennant race. Their pathway is more
apt to be strewn with rocks than roses
and no one one appreciates this fact
more than midget Manager Higgins. The
disastrous series with the St. Louis Card
inals, just ended, revealed several glar-
ing defects in the Yankee machine, and
Manager Hug set out to-day to remedy
them. He recognizes he has hard task
ahead, but is confident that by the time
the long series with the Brooklyn Dodgers
gets under way his team will show con-
siderable Improvement
The great problem will be to keep
the Yanks near the top during the first
five weeks of the summer campaign, or
until the return of the two exiies, Capt.
Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel. In order
TO accomplish this the outfield as at
present constituted must take a decided
brace or some new combination OF outer
gardeners must be effected
In the two games with the Cardinals
the Yankee fly chasers gave a wretched
account of themselves. or course there
is some excuse for Mcmillan, the in
fielder, who is being given trial in
light, but there Is absolutely no alibi for
such q veteran as Elmer Miller, unless
It be that the strain OF long service is
beginning to tell. Fewster in left has
also been a disappointment but Chick
never made any bones about the fact
that he prefers TO perform In the infieid.
OF course with the strong array Of in
nelders now under the wing of Higgins,
Fewster must curb his desire for a
change. and then too his presence is
demanded In the outield until the Babe
