FOR MAUD CARD
BURNS AND SIEBERG WILL
FIGHT TUESDAY
TOUGH BATTLE BETWEEN BIG
MEN is LOOKED FOR
Newcomer Develops Hard WaIlop in
Training, and viii EndeaVor to
Stop Jeffrey's Protege Inside
the Ten Rounds

Fistic fans are awaiting the meeting
of Jack Burns and Jack Sieberg with
considerable curiosity, as the winner
of the event at McCarey's pavilion
Tuesday evening will be in line for
further advancement along the heavy
weight line. Burns has given 1t out
that he will make short work of the
aspirations of the northern boy and
that he will sail into him from the
first tap of the gong and keep on go
ing until the finishing touches are
placed on the job.
Burns never seemed to be in better
shape and he boxes harder than when
he was getting ready for Jim Barry.
He has many regrets for the showing
he made in that fight, but he says he
will make up now, and that when he
has laid Sieberg low, he will ask for
another chance at the Chicago heavy.
Sieberg saws wood and says little.
He points to his record of five knock
outs and figures that he can hit Burns
at will, in which case he will put over
one OF his celebrated soakers which
will put the Salinas boy out of com
mission. Sieberg has impressed the
fans as being there with the punch al
Anyway, when he hits, something is
bound to drop, and the fans certainly
will not see any tapping match when
the two get together Tuesday evening.
Sieberg at Vernon and Burns at Ven
ice will give a special program of
training at their respective quarters,
and the fans can see some hard work
by tramping to either camp.
The card affords thirty-siX rounds of
Ill g l, Hs,s.ta f1as
limit. From the character of the en-
tries it seems probable that one or
more of the bouts will be ended be-
fore the specified time limit. Norvel
declared yesterday that he did not get
the right opportunity to show his
knockout punch against Brady, but
that when he faces Sullivan it will
be in good working order and that he
will give the fans a specimen of his
powers in this direction. Sullivan is
equally confident that he can take Nor
yePs measure, and as the Montana lad
has been improving in his action there
may be some ground for his assertions.
Kid Cleveland made Such an excel
lent showing against Jimmy Austin
last week that his meeting with Billy
Cappelle will give all kinds of thrills
to the spectators, as Cappelle is there
with the punch and keeps in action
from his first entrance into the ring
to the finish of the battle Cappelle is
the pride of San Pedro and the fans
of that district have been anxious tc
see him pitted against some good lad
and Cleveland will have to show al
of his cleverness to keep out of the
way of the haymakers, which Chap
pelle swings around in the ring wher
he is engaged in combat.
Dougherty will make his first ap
pearance in the Los Angeles ring since
his famous crusade in the middle west
In Kid Rees, Dougherty will be going
against a tough lad for he has gained
a score of victories among the news
boys recently. Roy Rogers and Harold
Orwig will endeavor to graduate into
the six-round class by their work ovel
the short route Tuesday, when they
are scheduled for the opening event.
