Los Angeles, May 9.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Tommy Burns, of Los Angeles, defeated “Phila- delphia Jack” O’Brien before the Pacific Athletic club here last night, after 20 rounds of fight- ing that was for the most part a foot race. O’Brien ran away from Burns from the first round to the finish and only occasionally was the latter able to overtake him. Then O’Brien invariably clinched until the referee pried them apart. The crowd hooted and jeered O’Brien as he raced about the ring. Few blows of vigor were landed by either man. Both of O’Brien’s eyes were damaged and his lips were cut, but Burns had scarcely a scratch. Burns showed his dis- gust with the tactics of his op- ponent and called to him. re- peatedly to “Come on and fight.” Now and then Burns would over- take him and beat him on the back, O’Brien attempting wildly to duck away, until Burns,weary of the foot race, would stand in the center of the ring with his hands to his sides and. wait for O’'Brien -‘to come to. a halt. O’Brien landed many light blows at long range on Burns’ head and face during his capers but they did no damage. Food and Apron. Sale.
