After returning 10 America Dan be-
came a professional boxer, like his
brother. Jack. Since that time both

times in that Ave rounds. Burns was a

Mansfield. Joe Thomas and lack Reed
in Philadelphia. and finding nothing else
In sight went TO Boston and beat Andy

add several more knockouts to his
record.
