AND NEWSY Jack Burns and His Manager Boasted So of the Former’s Record Before the Lang Fight That English Folk Must Think the Australian Whipped a Champion. sR Haha, Copyright, 1910, by The Pres Publishing Co. (The New York World.) NYONE can bea “live one"—when he 18 known Some English sporting papers printed Just before Lang stopped Jack Burns of America have just come in. It’ funny over here to see the accounts of Burne and his fighting record. 1 quote a few lines, just to show how they hand It out on the other side “Of course Burns ts delighted with the idea of being matched with the burly Australian, because tt brings him into direct line for a match with Jack | Johnson for the world's champion- ip eee “What 1s your impression of Eng- Jana? I asked, “‘Oh, real splendid,’ repited the (Burns's) chirpy manager. ‘The people are #0 kind, considerate and downright sportsmen. Besides, the country is #0 beautiful, even in winter. England ts @ood enough for us until the spring, when we shall In all probability re- turn home for the purpose of fixiag up big matches.” * * * “The match between Rill Lang and Jack Burns will be a meeting of Ti- thne.” And naturally, after having Jack Burns puffed up in this w the Bng- lish think they have a new world champion in Lang of Australia, Oh, jell—some other Amertcan fighters are due in England and France before long, | and they can show real class, I note in the bills of the fight that the London public was informed that the winner would meet either Sam Langford, | Crack Brooklyn Tes Team Work-| Tommy Burns or Sam MoVey. a for Jack Burns, he has only been fighting a couple of years, he is game an take the gaff like a Battling Nelson; so he may ge up among the champs after a while, any way.

Moran would like nothing better than to go to England and fig the lightweight title on his own Wolgast would be at the same di vantage that McFarland met whe thoroughly whipped Wreddie Welsh in |’ England and was credited with nothing more than a draw.
