Tommy Burns, the American heavy? weight champion, made short work of Jem Roche, the Irish champion, in their contest last night at the rieater Royal, Dublin, for the world's heavy? weight ch mplonehip. Practically only vine blow waa struck, Burns knocking Roche ou'. when hardly more thsn a mina e of the first round had boen com? plete!, by a short hook to the jaw. rp, quickly did the end come that the great crowd which filled the theater rn tha expectation nf seeing tbe luehman pat up a gooc* fight lor tbe title hardly rea 1 red what had happened. When the men entered tbe hog it waa evident that the sluggish Reecho was no match 'or the more experienced Burns. They sparred for leas than a minute, the Itisbman acting altogether on tbe defensive and the American eu* deavoiiag to find an opening. Then Burns feinted and quickly pat a abort, sharp right to the jaw and Roche went down. He waa badly dated, and al? though he struggled to regain bis feet was unsble to do so before the fatal 10 seconds were counted. The two heavyweights came to tba ring in their street clothes and a quarter of sn hour wea occupied io Basking prep art'ionsfor the fight. On tbe s mke of tbe gong Barns jumped to the center of the ring, which wes an 18-foot affair, and started bis usual tactics of trying to draw ont bis opponent. This seemed to annoy Roche wbo angrily sttuckdown Barra' arm ard then covered his face with both glove* to protect it trom a threatened blow. Burn*, however, was hoking fora better chance, and a moment later he feinted with bis lejfe. and sh it his right over to the jaw, which wsa entirely unprotected. The Ir shmar*. went to the canvas, but not heavily. He slid along on his side and then rolled over, face downwards. Very few of the spectators, even those on the sesge, were quick enough to sea how it wea done. Immediktely after the count Roche got to hi* fee', but saggered about, tbe -age. Wnea be had recovered himself he went over smilirgly to congratulate the winner. The fight last night wu for a poise of $7,500, which was put up by a syndicate of which Richard Groker, the former Tammany leader, wss a member, and a side bet nf $2,500.
