Talking It OVER

WITH JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK, Jan. 26.— Martin Burke, the red-headed oyster tamer of Louisiana, was knocked out in one round the other night by Young Stribling. When Young Stribling knocks you out in one round, it is time to quit. Burke, therefore, will quit. Not that this will cause Tex Rickard to take gas. Burke ne^er

ranked with the great fighters. To be frank about it, he was usually an agony to the eye, and a mystery to the sense. He was what is known to the trade as a jabber and grabber. Which is to say his technique consisted of jabbing a foeman and then grabbing

him by the arms. Nobody ever rolled, out into the aisles watching him. a a a But for all that, Burke was one of the finest characters the game ever knew. He came up. from the amateur ranks, a tall, angular Irishman, with spindly legs and a hide full of freckles. He won the national middleweight and heavyweight A. A. U. titles the same night, fighting four men to do it. a a a This was back in 1918. It was around this time that he met Jack Dempsey. He wanted to learn more about fighting. Dempsey took him as a sparring partner. For more than a year Burke, at spvr-l-adlc intervals, sparred v/ith Dempsey. a a a BURKE was still an aryateur. He wore his A. A. U. medals with a show of genuine pride. Dempsey cbuldn’t pay him. Burke took tl>e amateur spirit seriously, a whqie lot more seriously, I suspect, than some of our gorgeous amateurs who stride majestically about the tennis courts and the golf courses. Recalling those days Dempsey once remarked: “I never could tell whether Burke was a saint or a sap/ a a a It should be mentioned here that the matter of amateurism with its attending high moral influences has never been known to cramp Dempsey’s style. a a a IN later years Burke helped train Dempsey for all his big fights. The only one he missed was the second Tunney fight in Chicago, and something developed out there that added to his standing as a man. Mr. Leo Paluka Flynn, who had charge of the Dempsey come-back, knew that Burke was friendly with one of Tunney’s associates. He didn’t like that. When Burke heard how Leo Paluka felt about it he moved out of the camp. Dempsey probably never knew why. Burke's loyalties to the old man mauler were tremendous. He was among the first to detect his deterioration at Atlantic City two years ago when Dempsey came out of retirement after three years. He usd to watch him waddle around the ring with saddened eyes and a melancholy mien. But always to newspaper men after the workouts he would say: a a a “Three rounds. Four at the most.” Meaning that Dempsey would win by a knockout that early. A. A. SWIM MEETS CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Dates for the two Central A. A. U. swimming championships meets have been announced as Feb. 15 and March 14.

it, was for the best interest of the team. His real reason for making the unusual trade was that Hornsby managed the Giants his own way and not McGraw’s when the Giants’ manager was away on account of illness. “Some time ago,” Stoneham said, “I made up my mind that it would be for the best interest of the club to trade Hornsby and put the entire club under the direction of McGraw. Ir. other words, I felt it necessary to centralize McGraw as the personality that directed the club. “I noitced that when McGraw was away from the team the club adopted different methods, that the hours wese different and that the general procedure was different. The change may have been all for the better, but not the spirit of McGraw." In reply to rumors that the d:*al was caused by personal differences or Hornsby's alleged race track activities, Stoneham denied their interest in the transaction. McGraw, Stoneham said, at first was disinclined to trade Hornsby, but he persuaded him otherwise. Negotiations at first were started with Brooklyn with a view of sectoring Dazzy Vance, but this was ended and after Cincinnati had refjdsed to take Hornsby for Critz ancj another player, the deal was made Yvith Boston.

He said he decided to let Tris go "simply because he wasn't worth what we paid him.” A sum reported at from $40,000 to $60,000. “I haven’t any kick over the way Tris played last season,” Griffith said. “Baring injuries, he played good baseball—but I don’t think he was worth the money. “I asked waivers on Speaker weeks ago. All the clubs in the league passed him up. I promised him any kind of a trade, but he failed to act.” The veteran Joe Judge, first baseman, will be retained, Griffith said.
