Tommy Burn, the SJ-talled heavyweight

(Rnche, another Joke who couldn't fight at
all. Bui-na all thla time waa raining money
in the music tails and waa a too telling
people that he could brat any man In the
world.
In the midst of It all Jack Johnson and
T'ltzpatrlck arrived In England and Issued
a challenge to fight Burns for the rhint-1:
rln9hlpfor the world. The National Sport
ing club and other boxing organization"
Immediately agreed to hang up purses for
the mill, but Burns said that he would not
think of fighting, unlets lie got $30,000 in
cash before he entered the ring. Johnson
had him cornered, and with public opinion
behind him the ngro actually drove Burns
out of Knglsnd. It did not take long for
the leading British sporting authorities to
hall Johnson as the real champion and
Burns as a counterfeit. Johnson remained
In Kngland, beating several minor pugilists,
while Burns went to Paris, where he
tackled Squires again, knocking him out
once more. Then he started for Australia
where he recently had another "desperate"
encounter with the same Squires, who took
another nap.

for ha left England for Australia de
clared that he wrould not meet Johnson un
less he received r.0J win; lose or draw,
this Information from Ftlxpatrlc-k appears
t-i be In the nature of 'a surprise.
If the mill Is on the level, and there Is
tin resfon to believe that it :wi1l not be
ile,.jiied on its nerlts. a great fight should
he the result. Johnson, six feet two inches
tall and scsllng at .V pounds, fighting
weight, lias been trying to make a match
with Burns for two years. He has always
mHlnt ilneil that, h could heat Burns in a
limited round -bout or to a finish and has
repeatedly offered to atop, the so-called
rhsmplon liiHide of twenty rounds or for
feit all share of the purse. When Burns
treated Jack O'Brien to the double, cross
In T.os Angeles and proclaimed himself
champion of the world Johnson got on his
lr;ill immediately, but was turned down
i old. Burns said then tlmt lie intended
to drew the color line, but as he got the
meiry laugh from sporting men all over
the country he riunllfled this statement
wltli the icmrk that In due time lie would
tahe on I lie burly negro pugilist.
TJurns then begnn the easy tusk of
knocking oul pugilistic lemons. He
stt-pi'ed Bill Spurlew in a few punches in
California, but that was after Johnson had
gnu all the nay to Australia to make an
unsuccessful attempt to get Squires Into
l he ring with him. When Johnson re
lumed lo America and began to hurl chal
liTgea thick and fast at Burna the latter
suddenly parked his trunk and went to
Kngland. When he arrived on the other
sido Burns said that he was the undisputed
champion of the world and the Knglislr
snorting fraternity went wild over him.
Gunner Moir. a fourth rater, was trotted
ouf as Burns' first victim at the National
Sporting club of 1-ondon and the Britisher
was nothing more than a punching bag.
Then Burns whipped Tiger Smith, a mixed
alt bruiser, in a couple of wallops, after

rick sailed for Australia not long ago and
proceeded to "put It up to Burns in such
a forceful' manner that the latter thought
It best to make a match. As a 35.mo purse
was offered, Burns, scored by the fight
critlca as a coward, concluded to meet John
son at Sydney rather than put him off until
ha reached California, where James Coff
roth stands ready to hang tip a stmilsr
purse for this much talked of mill. But
with tho "match to be decided in Australia
there' Is no chance of seeing the great
battlo on Amreican. soil. v
. Which will carry the day? Burns is
fast, aggressive and a hard bitter. He
possesses science and Is at ring general
of conceded skill. His best fighting weight
is about JT0 pounds and he will shape up
at least six Inches shorter than Johnson.
The negTO Is said by expert Judges of pugi
lism to be the cleverest big man In the
world today. He can punch, but whether
lie is dead game or not under gruelling
punishment remains to be seen. fVw negro
fighters as a rule relish a beating and for
that reason some wise men think that
Burns, with his rushing tactics snd heavy
hitting, will take the heart out of Johnson.
There are 'other good Judges, however,
who! Insist that Burns Is- overrated .and
that lie never defeated a really first-class
man.. He could not put Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien out in twemy rounds, while It took
him 'an afee to best the lumbering Marvin
Hart. lu stopping such men aa Squires,
Moir, Smith and Roche Burns was entitled
to no particular credit
There are few handlers of fighters who
know more bout the gsme than Billy De
laney, the man who trained Corbett and
Jeffries when, they won the heavyweight
title. Delaney now has Al Kaufman under
his wing and hopes to make a champion
out of him one of these days, but under no
circumstances will Delaney permit Kauf
man to fight Johnson. Delaney says he
does not care to give a reason for barring
the negro except that he is a. first-class
fighter. But he declarea that Kaufman
will. fight Burns at the drop of tha hat.
Tom O'Rourke, another good Judge, who
w Bums fight Moir In Kngland, believes
that Johnson will beat Burns to a cer
tainty, while Fitspatrtck declared a year
ago that, it Johnson ever got Burns Into
the ring with him he'd "beat tha white
man to death."
In agreeing to out up tha $35,000 purse,
W.OOO to the winner and 114.000 to the loser,
Burna ha a evidently tried to protect his
pocketbook in the event of a defeat, while
Johnson has been willing all along to agree
to a good loser's end. In agreeing to meet
Johnson at ail Burns has proved tha as
sertion that he intended to get all the
easy money" In sight before he tackled
the blg black in a mill that would prove
the hardest In Burns' pugilistic career.1

NEW HAVEN. Conn., Oct 24.-The closed
gate season has arrived. That mean that
the foot bailers have reached the real se
rious stage of their pieparatlon for the
big games. When the coaches have the
gate locked they gst to work to rehearse
some of the new stunts that they have
been overworking their gray matter to de
vise. The teams by this time are sup
posed to have been well drilled In the
fundamentals of the game and are ex
pected to go ahead into the advance
classes, learning tha Intricacies of new
playa which are intended to paralyse their
opponents In the big games.
There need ba no surprise this fall If
some big championship foot ball game is
won by means of a cleverly executed on
slde kick. A good many coaches and play
ers, not to mention spectators, apr'ar to
he ignorant of the existence cf thiS par
ticular mode of offense. Tet Tale, with a
sagacity quite common to tha Blue, is de-
'eloping It snd has already made good use
of 11 in the preliminary games to dat.
This particular play, while hardly open to
as many possibilities aa tha forward pass,
possesses more value as a trick play than
the other, and when used at the right mo
ment is likely to turn the tide of battle
In mora than one big match. There is
hardly a play !n the whole repertory which
can ao quickly change the face of thinga
and demoralise an opposing team as the
successful operation of the onslde kick.
It Is all the more surprising on this ac
count that so few coaches are grounding
their team in the use of this play. Foot
ball coaches, especially those of tha old
school, move slowly In all matters affecting
the development of the game. When the
forward paas was first legalised not ono
team tn ten dared to use It oftener than
two or three times In a single game. Thty
were afraid of it and did not re.ihze its
value until soma big team showed what
efficient coaching and persistent practice
could accomplish with it. One des not
need to be a prophet to predict with cer
tainty tills future for the onslde kick. It
was so with the quarterback kick a dozen
years sgo, and "epeated with the forward
pass. An offense which one never knows
whee It will strike next is quite as valua
ble aa a battering ram which can go dow n
the field with Irresistible force.
Tale is the only team to date which has
s,howii a determination to get the most out
of this play, and it goes without ssylng
that ale will prof't accordingly. The
strength of tins plav, when well executed
een by'the weaker team, was well demon
strated In the second half of the Pennsyl
vania-villa ova game when the latter
team for a time paralysed the Quakers
with a aeries of these plays.

NMV TURK. Oct. 2C It Is orten said
that pugilists, like gamblers and sailers,
are superstitious. The colored fighters are
particularly so. for some of them hae
been known to back nut of a contest at the
last moment because they ran up against
some bed omen. Big Jack Johnson, who Is
matched to fignt Tommy Burrs, ner
enters the ring before hiding a rabbit's
foot In the colors he wears around his
waist. Joe Oana 'always puts a lucty
pocket allver piece, which he won In his
first mill, in h'ls belt Just as he climbed
through tha ropes. Joe Walcott, once a
Oisnt Killer, never felled to neve a minia
ture horseshoe tucked away In his breech
clout. ' '
John I Sullivan In all of his bsltles
wore a pair of green trunks, In the belt of
which was a talisman which his mother
gave to him when he first enfred the
professional arena. Game Jack Dempscy,
the -Nonpareil, would not agree to tackle
the easiest kind of A mark unless he had
on his famous black tights In which he won
ome alxty battles. But tha tights lost
their magio charm tho night that FUs
slmmons knocked Dempsey out und also
broke his heart. .j
Charier Mitchell's Dread.
Charley Mitchell. " the former English
champion, had a mortal fear of meeting a
cross-eyed woman on the day or night of
a fistic encounter In which he was en
gaged. He always insisted that such u
woman meant sure defeat. The night he
was lo meet Sullivan for the second time
in Madiso Square garden Mitchell met a
cross-eyed. Ved-halred woman In Fifth ave
nue and almost collapsed. He dashed back
around the corner at top speed, crossing
his fingers several times.
"She nailed me with her bad eye," he
walled, "and I'm under a bloomin' spell,
I'm sure!'
Sullivan, as it turned out, was In no con
dition to go lo the garden and there was
no fight.
"It was that Infernal cross-eyed woman
that queered the whole show," exclaimed
Mitchell as he left the gar-den tn disgust,
for he believed that he had John L. out of
shape and was ready to beat the big fel
low down and out.
When Jack McAullffe was lightweight
champion he always wore a pair of dark
blue trunks. One night they wero par
tially burned In a small fire at McAultffe's
home and ha was heartbroken. At last 'he
decided to have what . waa left . of tho
trunks made over Into a new pair, which
ha wore In his memorable battles with
Jem Carney, Young Grlffo snd Billy Myer,
tha Streator Cyclone.
1 Bob FltEslmmons is a believer in dreams.
Long before he won the championship trim
Corbett at Carson City he predicted the
victory. He said he had a dream In which
he won decisively. - Fits has since declared
that he never won a f ight in his' life
without-first having a lucky dream. ' Fits
also had what 'he said was a charm that
protected him from harm. It was' the tip
of a kangaroo s ear, and the Comishman
wore it beneath his belt in all of his. ring
battles. :
Friday a rMaadard lloodoe.
.There are a gteat many pugilists who
refuse to sign artlclea of agreement or to
fight on Friday, "hangman's day," they
calt 1t. Among them are Tommy Burns,
Jimmy Brltt, Abs Attell, Billy Mellody.
Dick Hyland, Kid Goodman, Sailor Burke,
Packey McFarland, Owen Moran. Bill
Papke, Hugo Kelly and Battlln Nelson
Deep sea sailors always have a fear of
Friday and often refuse to lesve port on
that day.
Some fighters' ara superstitious In regard
to "Jonah" seconds. They dodge the
handlers Who have been behind losers.
Some seconds seem to have a streak of
bad luck and aa a result they find it a
difficult matter to get a job behind a
good man. In some cases inxeperienccd
seconds are preferred to "Jonahs." John
IV Sullivan seldom acted aa an adviser or
a second thst his man did not lose. He
waa behind Dempsey when Fits beat him;
behind Mike Cleary when Mitchell bested
him; with Joel Skelly when he lost to
George Dixon; with Joe Lannon when he
waa defeated by George Godfrey; with the
late Spider Weir when he was knocked out
by Australian Billy Murphy, and behind
Peter Maher wflen Fits put him away the
first time at New Orleans. Sullivan, like
many other fighters, is a poor picker of
winners.
Tommy Burns likts nothing belter than
to find a horseshoe when training for a
battle. The horseshoe has made a hit with
other pugs. too. who usually nail one over
the door of their training quarters.
Meeting a funeral is always regarded as
a direful thing by pugilists. Sullivan met
a funeral the day he waa beaten by Cor
bett at New Orleana and lie said then and
there that ha would meet, his Waterloo.
Other boxers ara superstitious about lucky
and unlucky corners In ths ring. Some of
them always try to enter the ring first so
that they can secure , w hat they believe is
the "lucky chair." It has often been the
case that In a dispute over the favorite
corner the matter has been settled by the
turn of a coin.
tha mastera of the art to tack on ta the
end of their names, rjevertheless t'.'e han
dle of pitcher, catcher Inflclder or out
fielder will now admit their possessors to
good society snd will go a long way as
a recommendation.
Thus It will be readily seen that the man
who swings the willows and who toss the
leather sphere about do not find It over
difficult to secure paying situations during
that portion of the year, when the bat,
ball, mask and glove lie dormant. Christy
Mathewson, Ihr premier pitcher of the
Giants, has recently branched out in the
Insurance business; John J. McGraw. man
ager of the New York National league
club, runs a billiard parlor. Johnny Kline,
the Cub's catcher. Is also an enthusiast of
tha cue and Ivory balls, and controls sev
eral such parlors. Roger Bresiishan is a,
detective in Toledo.
Pitcher Joe McGlnnity lins nu iron foun
dry In Indian Territory, and when he isn't
playing ball he devc.tes his time to inar
aglng his business. Luther Taylor, also a
slsb artist on the payroll of John T. Brush,
runs a general store In his home town, and
lie Is by far the most' popular citizen of
the place. Stony McQlynn, the St. Lotii
(Cardinal l pitcher, sp-nds his "idle mo
ments" as an officer of the peace at York,
Pa. Addle Joss, the Cleveland pitcher, Is
a sporting writer. Harry While, a W hile
8ox twirler, studied dentistry at George
town university, and when he ln't pulling
teams out of a hole he's extracting teeth.
He i not nlor.e In this, for .Mike Powers,
the Philadelphia (Athletic! catcher. Is also
a dentist.
Fred Clarke, manager of the Pittsburg
Pirates, owns a ranch In 'Kansas. Clarke
Griffith, one time 'manager of the High
landers, also' has a. ranch in Montana.
But of allj the occupations In which the
ball players engage, the oldest Is that of
Roy Thomas, the Buccaneers' center
fielder. While traveling around the cir
cuit, and In winter as well, lie solicits
orders for. a wholesale undertaking estab
lishment. Ilonus Wagner, admittedly . the
greatest batter of the age, owns a farm
and passes much of his time thereon and
makes It pay well,- too.
Fred Tenney, the first baseman of
the Giants, Is an artist as . well
as an athlete. He . spends most of
his leisure hours In water color . studies.
Some of his pictures are not only clever,
but show thst he' haa made a thorough
study 6f art. "Of couse I know that the
profession of ball playing has not been
looked upon as one of the higher profes
sions," said Tenney the other day. "Many
of our professions did not' rank very high
at the etart. Therefore, I feci that we can
do much more by trying to uplift the
game while we are a rart -of It than by
deserting; and allowing It to fall Into de
cay. I regard It as quite an honor to be
among the topnotchers in any , profession
that ia honorable, and nothing pleases me
more than to know that I am generally
considered among those 200 ball players
who rank', as first class."
; Leon Ames, one of the Giants' famous
pitchers, ; is. a. clever caricaturist, and has
often been asked - to allow his dr awings
to be published, but he is timid.

NEW YORK. Oft. 24. There are few of
the fans ho fit in tlie stands during tlia

diamond In their spiked shoes and trail tngs
do nothing; but loaf al) winter-. But such
Is not the case. The majority of tlie ex
ponents cf the national game are a busy
lot during the closed season in bae ball.
Boms own farms, others are agents for
companies of various kinds, still others do
police worla c-r run billiard and pool rooms,
while at least one, Joe McGinnity, owns
an Iron fuundry. There are a few, of
course, who do nothing during the months
when cold weather makes ball plsving an
impossibility, but these are greatly in the
minority.
Thsra was a time in the history of base
