ENGLISH FIGHTER IS CLEVER

Digger Stanley and Frankie Bums Fight One of Best Battles Ever Seen in This CountryIn the greatest boxing bout ever seen in this country between two little men, Frankie Burns, the aspirant for the bantamweight championship honors of the world, finished out an excellent draw with Digger Stanley, the English champion, in a ten-round session at the National Sporting club in New York the other night. It was an aggressive, slam-hang affair, interspersed with fast, clever boxing. From the first round to the last there was not a dun or slow minute during the entire fight. It was give-

and-take with the honors rushing beck and forth with the lightning-like rapidity of a shuttle, in,,,a machine. First Stanley would gain an advantage, then Burns would make a rally and even sp the score. So they fought the ten rounds, the fortunes of each on a punch.
