Johnson throughout fought a fair and manly battle, albeit contested by men in

ting freely in clinches; but, unfortunately, his fice boxing was disfigured by a display, of bom- bast that is happily soldom seen in any sporting arena.

The weights were given, Johnson, 13at 7ib. Barns, 12st 03lb. but Burne explains that bis actual weight was 11st 12h, where he had hoped to enter the ring at his usual fighting weight of 12st 6lb to 12st 81b.

In the Squires fight Burns would anticipate attack by striking Squires softly on the biceps of the hitting arm, thus taking all the fire ont of the blow. On Saturday Burns found that Johnson was a master of this rase as well, and, having the longer reach, was able to checkmate every attack.

JOHNSON'S "MODERATION." Johnson was greatly the superior of Burns; in fact, it seemed possible that he could have. beaten him in half the time had he so chosen, Instead of doing so he protracted the combat, apparently that he might enjoy the more the discomfitaro of his opponent. His superiority

*

boxer was undeniable, and his height and strength served him in good stead. All the little trickly movements by which Barns suc ceeeded in landing short stabbing body blows on Squires were circumvented on this occasion by sheer force of mascle. When Burns's arm locked his own in a clinch, so that he could not deliver s'blow, Johnson simply shifted it to where he

wanted it, and then struck. Summed up the position was that, in out-fighting, Burns could not reach Johnson, while every time they got into holds, he received one or more solid. punches before they broke free, and was himself power.. lees to display his ability in the line of boring in which he had hitherto been regarded as pre- eminent.

Most of the fighting, was done in clinches. Aa a display by Johnson, it was magnificent, but it was not war according to the Marquis of Queensberry. The game is divested of the greater part of the grace and movement which characterised it in this country a year or two back, and under the new conditions the battle is largely to the strong. This is not to say that Burns would have done any better had the les been interpreted according to the old reading. In fact, the chances are that under such ourown- stances the fight would have been over mug sooner. From the fifth round onward, Baris fought with a sprained ankle, but this seemed to affect him but little, for even- in the closing rounds his footwork was ex- cellent, and his poise perfect aren when the upper part of his frame was manifestly weak. BURNS OUTCLASSED.

From beginning to end, Barne did not get what is known as a look in. As le prorailed over Squires by a system of in fighting new to Australia, eo did Johnson best him by the se tactics. Those who saw Burns for the first time on Saturday must have left the Stadium

The fight really ended in the thirteenth round. Jolinson opened it by scoring solid face and body blows, followed by half a dozen of his favourite slaps over the lower part of the back, when Burns clinched for safety. As they broke ha swung a strong left on Burn's ear, which sent him staggering, and, seeing his advantage, Johnson dashed in, and before Barns could shape again delivered a left on the abdomen and one shook to the feet like a reed in the wind.
