BOXING FANS SAY
BURNS A GOOD MAN

Sporting Editor Herald:
I have been watching the sporting
sheet OF The Herald closely the past
Few days and I notice that you do not
give Burns real credit for licking Tor
renee. I will admit Whitley Burns did
not show real class against this man
Terrence but remember Whitley just
finished a three week hard grind OF
hiking out of Mexico. and with a weeks
rest and four days TO train FOR the
scrap he beat the idol Of FL Paso.
Burns had to carry the fight from
the first sound OF the gong until the
fight was over and Terrence covered
up like 4 dub whenever Whitley landed
heavy. All Of the boys from the punt
tive expedition know that Burns won
by 2 large margin But Whitley did
not show the real stuff that is in him.
Anyone that saw the Burns and Rufus
Williams 20 round fight on New Years
At FL Vale viii say that il Burns was
IN condition as good that day as when
he fought Terrence he would never
have lasted ten rounds. If you don't
think Whitley has got a punch just
drop a few lines TO Rufus at Column bus
or Bull Forster. 50 be square Give q
snsn his Just dues
II this man Newton fights Whitley
Burns there will be a few thousand ex
Pershing men on hand 70 root their
heads of Tor " hitle and any OF them
that saw White in action in Mexico
viii tell you that Newton viii be due
for a good beating and Newton's left
cab OF even MS right arm has not got
enough power 10 wipe a smile off
Whitey's face. a few Of US ought to
know, as we saw Newton slam bang
Tor five rounds al Nandy's face and
never even faze Vandy, let alone knock
ing him to his knees. So how IL he
going TO bother Whitey2
We would like TO know so let Jim
Brown put on the fight and we viii
pack the house as Burns has thousands
o. hackers just out Of Mexico.
Yours truly.
