BURMISTER DISQUALIFIED. ALLEY THROWN FROM RING. Clsborne, Aug. 20. The match between Tom Alley and Sam Burmister was interesting while it lasted, but ended disappointingly. Towards the end of the second round Alley gained a fall with a crucifix. Burmister evened up with a fall in the fourth round by means of a body press. Early in the fifth round Burmister carried his opponent and dumped him over the ropes and was warned. Immediately afterwards, however, he repeated the performance and was disqualified. Alley appeared anxious to resume, but was prevented by an injury to his shin.
