There was not much doubt about
Larry Sobjeck meaning business.
Such being the case the battlers gave
the fans more than a run for their
money. In fact there was not much
running in the bout. There was a
lot Of wading in and real punching.
When the big boys hit it was no
slap on the wrist.
Burns won because his shout
der muscles rippled under the
skin, because he has a fighting
heart, because he can take as
well as give, because hts brain
and nerve centers are in perfect
coordination.
Tough Customer
And don't think he didn't gain the
edge over a tough customer. Sobjeck
is a rugged straight-arm fighter
with power. But the Milwaukee
mauler is not quite as fast as Burns

two. Three were even. SObjeck's
best frame was the eighth when
he caught Burns with straight

Cox Wins

Royal Cox had clear edge over
Kid Winning OF Louisville. The
Kentucky battler was little bull

with a left and was a much better
boxer.
