BURNS BEATS
FLOR NAVARRO
Gets Decision In All
But One Round;
Peck Wins
BY DOC COOK

MERCEDES, June 26.-Flor Ma
varro, Monterrey middleweight proved
no match for Chuck Burns, San An
tone seeker in their ten-round bout
here last night. Burns battered the
boy all owe the ring and took every
thing Navorro threw his way. After
the first round the result was never
in doubt as Burns, a superior ring
general possessing a X. q. wallop in
his right nit, jabbed, hooked and
smashed the Monterrey lad almost
at will. Navarro put up an exhibit
tion of gameness seldom seen in the
ring as he kept coming in failing
away at Burns even while taking
Burns heavy punishment. Only once
was the hard hitting Burns able TO
knock the tough Navarro off his feet
and that was in the third round when
he caught Navarro with a right TO
the jaw and then the Mexican was
only down for an instant.
Burns carried every round with the
execution Of the fifth, and on Ma
yar.s's aggressiveness that might be
called even, for in that round Ma
varro rushed Burns around the ring
and planted some hefty lefts and
rights to the San Antonio boys
whiskers. Each round other than the
fifth was practically the same with
Burns smashing his right into Ma
varro's body and getting in close and
pounding away TO the head and body
with both hands. Burns showed
plenty 80 punching power and an
ability TO absorb wallops while Ma
vsrro's claim TO greatness Monday
night was his unusual gameness.
Burns weighed I'll 1-2 to Navarro's
1863.
In a double semi-windup, Kid Peck,
Mission, received the decision over
Fox Trot Pampas San Antonio. Peck
swarmed all over his more expert
enced opponent and was ever trying
to land that X. O. wallop. Pampas
showed very little hitting ability
and after the first two rounds seemed
content to rest as he dived into a
clinch at every opportunity and hung
on.
Peck shows wonderful improvement
in every bout and il not over matched
in a short time will be meeting some
Of the best boys Of the south.
III IuG OLlGI HGll OF the ClElL
round bouts, San Antonio pugilistic
bosses slipped M over On local fans
and Promoter AL Robinson. They
agreed to send a good boy. one Kid
Ruiz. to engage the popular Mr.. Shaw.
Of Mercedes. What happened TO Ruiz
no one knows including AL Robinson.
but one Sailor Barrera came along in
place of Ruiz and outside of his
green trunks and ring shoes he did
not even resemble a fighter. He out
weighed Shaw some eight pounds but
that is all the superiority he had
over the Mercedes battler. After the
first round Shaw and Barrera put up
a real race with Shaw doing his
very best to catch Barrera. Occasion
ally Barrera would jump into the air
and make a swing at Shaw landing
on nothing but air. Let il be said to
Shaw's credit that he did the very
best to make a fight Of il but he
just couldn't catch Barrera.
From a real action standpoint the
first bout of the evening was the best
rs Kid Adams. San Antonio. upset
the pugilistic dope bucket BY handing
the tough Kid Monterrey a tough
FASTING in six rounds. Adams showed
considerable cl%everness and a good
right hand punch as he would let
Monterrey rush az him sidestep and
sock Monterrey with his right. Mon
terrey was always trying but the San
Antonio lad was too clever for him.
A good sized crowd saw the show.
while Talley Talbert handled all
fights in his usual efficient manner.
