THAT RIGHT EQUALIZER.

Manager Curley is not the only
one, either, who thinks Chuck will
give the Georgia Schoolboy fit Mon
day night. Pete Lightner, sports cdi-
tor Of the Wichita Eagle. predicts
that Burns will prove a splendid
match for Pa" Stribling's son. vii
liam. Burns is expected to enter the
ring at close TO 40 pounds, within
eight or ten pounds Of Stribling' 5
weight. Stribling will have an adj
vantage in height and reach. as well
as in ring experience. but that ter
rifle right punch Of Burns will act
as a great equalizer, if it lands once
or twice.

BURNS-STRIBLING BOUT
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION

If our own Chuck Burns should
happen TO haul off with that round
house right of his and distribute
Young Stribling over some six feet of
canvas in the course Of their ring
quarrel up at Wichita. Kan. Monday
night, there will be plenty Of gentle
men on hand to tell the world how
it happened in Tuesdays papers.
Sports pages throughout Kansas and
Oklahoma are giving the Burns-Strib-
ling mill a big play" and many Of
the papers are planning to send sports
writer's to cover it. according to q
letter from Don Curley.
Don is the boy who tells Chuck
when and where 70 slap his name on
the dotted line. Don. incidentally, has
done wonders for Chuck since he
took the scrapping local middlcweight
under his managerial wing some six
or eight months back.
