Burns is one of the real wonders
of the roped arena, and, while the
local promoters have sought his

Although not a champion, Burns

Later they boxed a 20-round draw,
and after Herman won the cham

Burns traversed through 20 siz-
ZIIng rounds with Kid Williams

during his championship career
Their" is no bantam in the business

That Burns. while in the service
