HE WANTS ANOTHER BATTLE
"I Was Strong at Finish and Had a
Chance to Win," Is Tommy's ' Wail.
San Francisco, Dec. 28. Tommy
Burns' expected but delayed wail has arrived. And the deposed champion has
framed up a good one.
It may be that Tommy took such a
fine licking that it took some time for
his brain to clear; hence the delay with
the excuses.
Anyway, Burns has sent a cable to
a mend nere in tnis city, ana n me
cable tells the truth the reports of the
big fight were altogether too much in
Johnson's favor.
Tommy claims that he was good and
strong when the police stopped the
fight in the fourteenth round, that Johnson was fast tiring under the pace and that he. (Burns) had a good chance to win if the bout had been permitted
to go on. Tommy declares that he had
the same chance Nelson had with Gans
and that had the affair not been stop
ped there might have been a different
ending. Burma Always the Faker.
Burns further asserts that Johnson's
seconds influenced the ' police in stop
ping the contest. He says the pictures
of the fight will prove his claims
Burns declares that he can whip Johnson and, wants to fight him again this
in face of his ante-fight statement that,
if defeated, he never would enter the
ring again.
Tommy does not deny the stories that Johnson outfought him as far as
the bout went. He simply says that i
was stopped when he was strong and
Johnson getting weak. It is hard to
figure how Burns can imagine he had a chance to win after being outpointed for fourteen rounds and with but six more to go. Possibly Tommy thinks
he still "had a chance to slip over knockout punch.
.The cable from the defeated cham
pion reads as follows:
- "Johnson's second Influenced the po
lice to stop the contest. I was strong
and had a chance, as did Nelson with
Gans. Johnson was tiring. Willing to
KAUFMAN BACKEO AT

Los Angeles,. Dec. 28. The public
likes Kaufman to win .bis forty-five round encounter with Jim Barry at
Vernon Wednesday night. T.The betting
tonlghfwas 10 to 7 and 10 to 6 on De-
aney's protege with a possibility that
the odds may go to 2 to 1. One com
missioners received $400 from Albu
querque. N. M., to be placed at even money that Barry doesn't stay twenty
rounds. " '
Barry's hands are said not to be in
the best ' of condition. The Chicago
boxer injured his left wrist In the ring
at Naud Junction several weeks ago.
and last Sunday he ripped his right
fist into Frank Mantell's elbow while
sparring with "him at the South Side
Athletlo club.
Charley Eyton, who will referee Wed
nesday's night's contest, visited the Barry camp this afternoon and had a
short talk with Jim. Eyton will talk
with Kaufman and Delaney tomorrow
Kaufman Worked hard at Venice but
omitted all boxing today, preferring not
to take a chance with his hands. He
took to the road for an eight mile hike
in the morning. At the afternoon work
out, Al hammered away at the punching
bag for several rounds, shadow boxed
and mauled the pulley machine.

HAVERHILL'S CLAIM
IS OVERRULED Haverhill, Mass., Dec. 28. It was announced today that J. H. Farrell. secretary of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, has overruled the claims of the Haverhill New England Leage club to Bernhard E. Reilly, who was second baseman here last season. Reilly, who played on the Tale freshman team, recently signed with the Chicago White Sox for next season. When he heard of the claim of the Haverhill club he wrote Secretary Farrell and received a reply that his name was not on the Haverhill reserve list. This left him a free agent and he signed with the Sox. He will study until June at Yale and then join the Sox.

Charles A. Comiskey, president of the White Sox, yesterday brought the land between Wentworth and Shields avenues on the north side of Thirty-fifth street from Mrs. Amelia Bowen of New York, an heir of the John Wentworth estate, through her cousin, Moses J. Wentworth, 62 Lake Shore drive. The Sox will play ball on the property beginning with the opening of the 1910 season. .The field will be one of the biggest baseball grounds in the country. The property line on Thirty-fifth street runs 1,000 feet east and west and extends
on Wentworth and Shields avenues 600 feet. . . . . The consideration was J150.000. The property includes fifteen acres, so the price paid averaged $10,000 an acre. As far as transportation facilities are concerned, the place is better fixed than the grounds at Wentworth avenue and Thirty-ninth street. The surface and elevated lines running downtown are as convenient and the Thirty-fifth street line runs west as far as Brighton avenue, while the Thirty-ninth street cars went no farther than Halsted. The new grounds are half a mile nearer the downtown district.
