Red burIIlan
in 5ih Round
BoItimose Settler
Puts Up Thrilling
Fight Before 10. 900
By GAYLE TALBOT


anew YORK, Feb. l-(R-
Three terrific blows to the body
left Red Burman draped over
the bottom rope. gaspins for
breath through contorted lips
and helpless to move, but before
he went out last night the Bal
timore battler put up . fight that
thrilled the crowd and won q
genuine compliment from Cham
pion Joe Louis.
Hes the only fighter besides
Galento who tried to take my
title away from me-" volunteer
ed the big negro. He really
came after me. had to hit him
the hardest I ever hit a man."
The big crowd in Madison
Square Garden saw Burman
light into Louis like he never
had heard of him, and continue
to fight with everything he had
until a final sickening right un-
der the heart sent him down in
2:49 Of the fifth round.
That was about the round that
generally had been picked for
the redhead's exit, but no one
had foreseen the excitement he
was to generate before it hap
pened to him. He went across to
throw himself at Louis before
the sound of the opening bell
died away, and from there until
the finish he never took q back
ward step.
Apparently surprised by the
ferocity and tenacity of Bur-
mans attack Louis fought cody
any cautiously, taking many .
good wallop about the head and
body as he measured his man
and prepared him for the kill.
As usual, there was no advance
warning in the fifth round that
the champion was ready to break
Red In two.
Burman, though bleeding from
a cut over the left eye. still look
ed fresh as he bulled Louis
across the ring for about the
twentieth time and the throng of
over $4,000 was sending up an
awful uproar. Red had won the
previous round clean1y.. and It
looked like anything might hap
pen.
Suddenly, the champion
whirled, put Burman against the
ropes and almost buried his
right glove out of sight in Reds
stomach. Burman started to dou-
BILE, but managed to slip loose
and side past a neutral corner
to another side of the ring, with
Louis right on top of him.
There was another right to the
pit of the stomach. Then Joe
fetched the right which he said
later was the hardest punch he
ever struck. II landed over Bur-
mans heart, and Red crumpled
like he had been shot. In the
dressing room, he had no recol-
lection Of lying across the ropes
Is referee frankie Fullam lean
ed over and counted TO 10 in his
ear.
For all Burman's brave show
ing, Louis never looked more
like . great champion than he
did last night. At 202h pounds,
his muscles rippled under the
ring lights, and he was fast and
sharp. With Burman sticking to
him like q burr, Joe had to hit
quick and short, and never was
able to wind up and bring one
from the floor. But the collective
effect of the short ones got Bur-
man in time.
Louis only mark of his 18th
title defense was q small cut un-
der the left eye, caused he said
by Burman's head in the opening
round. For all his pleasure at
the way Red opened up and
fought, however, the champion
was forced to admit the Redhead
never hurt him.
HE fought all he had" said
Joe. That's all you can ask .
man to do, amt it,"

Bio Bill deserved the honor
If anyone did. Nevertheless the
A. A. U. should be compliment
ed upon its selection. Athletics
seems to be the only field ofen-
deovor where a man is judged
unquoIifiedIy upon his merits
regardless Of roce, creed, or
color. II hosn't always been so
though now-o-days it seems
to be taken as notter OF
course. 1t has token bodies Of
men, like the A. A. u, with the
courage of its convictions to
come out for the merit system
in athletics and spurn the cri-
ticism hurled ct its heed.
Champion in Three Events
For three years Watson wos
Big Ten champion in three
events-the broad jump. the
shot put, and the discus. At no
time was his reign Threatened
in one Of these events. He set
stondords Of performance and
craftsmanship that probably
will not be forgotten on the
Michigan compus for many
years.
Bio Bill is q born athlete. He
is a strong Splinter. especially
at so yards; he could always be
depended upon to pick up
points in the high Jump; and.
although it was not generally
known, he is O foir pole-voul-
ter, despite his l85 pounds.
But, when at Michigan Bill
concentrated on his three spec
ioIties. He brood Jumped con-
sistently over ~ feet ond put
ted the shot with amozine reg
uIarity over SO feet. In the dis
Gus he did equally we'll, hitting
upwords Of l55 feet and dis
playing form that was the envy
Of many Of his competitors.
Sportsmen Through
and Through
Whot impressed anyone who
watched Bill in action wos the
businesslike way in which he
went about setting meet rec
ords. In him there was no frum-
prey, no cockiness, no temper
onent. He had q job to do and
he did it. He was q gentleman
on and off the field. as we'll as
great performer, and in thot
he followed in the footsteps of
his famed predecessor and idol,
Willis Ward.
Had there been on Olympics
this yeor, Bill would have been
the man to hold down the
decotheIon. But Bill proved he
could toke the boys over in
Europe in q tour two years ago.
To have won the Olympics in
his event would have been O
crownine honor. In lieu Of thot
he must accept the recognition
accorded him by the A. A. U.
II is q fine enough tribute. any
way, we think.

1875 units, compared to 124,258 last
week and 105.560 in this period a
