Sydney, N. S. TV., Dec. 26, via Eastern Azores. "Jack Johnson of Texas
was today awarded the heavyweight boxing championship of the world after the police had stopped the battle with Tommy Burns of Canada, the title holder, in the open air arena at Rushcutter's Bay. The bout was scheduled to go twenty rounds, but in the fourring and ordered and end to the fight.
' "Burns "was sent to the floor In the first round for a count of eight ant again in the second. Though he landed some good blows those of the big ne
gro were of the knockout kind, and tht champion was badly cut up this early in the battle. . .
Johnson, wih weight, height and strength in his favor, was able to over
come the much-applauded reach of
Tommy Bnrns. There was a dramatic silence as he punched Tommy into sub
jection in the final round, and then came
a wild chorus of cheers as Referee Mcintosh, after a preliminary shrug of shoulders on noticing the upraised hand of the, police captain at the ringside, held up Johnson's dusky paw as a sign of victory. Crowd la Satisfied. Those, who paid extravagant prices for their seats got their money's worth.
It was a case of grit and determination against long odds. Burns bored in again and again, taking grueling punishment, but boxing in a way that made the patrons of thebout rise in their seats and cheer. Favorite in the betting, he had the sympathy of the crowd with him, but sentiment gradually turned to Johnson as the crowd awoke to the really magnificent work he was doing. There was no question about the merit of the match. Johnson, tall and lithe, beautifully built as compared to the stocky form of Burns, kept shooting his rights and lefts over at the smal'er man. Even when Burns would swing with his gorilla-like reach John-

KIRKOFF GREAT STAR
Expert Says Indiana Man
was the Champion-, Fred J. Crollus, St. Paul Dispatch
football expert, a star player and who has kept a careful record on all the gridiron game's luminaries, is of the opinion that Kirkoft of Lafayette, Ind., the former Purdue star, was the great
est all-round player the game has known. After a lengthy discussion of other great stars Crolius has the following to say of Kirkoft:
"The best single example of all-
round consistency proved through battle after battle, was Kirkoft of "Purdue, probably the greatest player,' the most valuable to his team, the raost
feared by -opponents. "Of herculean build, standing almost
six feet six inches, weighing about 245

After a surly demonstration, the referee, who was - also the promoter, yelled: . , "A dollar to any man who will go on for a bout." "Make it a dollar and car fare,' shouted Burns. "You're on," laughed the referee. And Tommy Burns' ring career also was on. In his street clothes, he beat that "pug" to a frazzle, knocking him out in the third round.

Burns seemed confident enough as he sat in his corner, but there was a discrepancy in build which could not be overlooked.

But these same persons were among those who applauded in most hearty fashion when the bout was over. "We had a run for our money," was the Americanism heard on all sides when the bout was over.
