CORNELL DISPLAYS
! GRIT AS PROMOTER
Battle Between Birmingham
Buster and BurI Ought to
Give Him Break.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


- sion-chaser par excellence,
returns to the ring wars
Tuesday at the luckleSs
Twin-City cauliflower factory
with a golden opportunity to be-
come a real Moses and lead dis
couraged but persevering pro-
moter, dogged by i'll luck, out OF
the wilderness.
Heaped upon the hairy shoulders of
this 126-pound Syrian buzz saw is the
task of restoring what three consecutive
flascos. in no wise the fault of Promoter
Charlie Cornell. have torn down at the
Laurel punchbowl. If Sarron and Eddie
Burl scrap up to par over the 10-round
route. they will give Cornell fine start
in the reconstruction program.
Were Cornell possessed of less stick
to-it -iveness, he might we'll have given
up his arena weeks ago, when what
loomed as scrap of national I'M
portance-Bob Goodwin VS.. George
Nichols-fell through, when Nichols
caught chicken pox. Again he might
have thrown in the sponge when Trader
Horn, subbing for Nichols, listened to
the brides in the second round of
fight that left a sour taste on the
tongues of the spectators. Or when
Tony Galento failed to show for fight
when Red Barry quit cold against
Galento's sub, Goodwin.
Sees Turn in Lane.
MOT so Cornell. In neither ghosts
N nor goblinS nor jinXeS does
Cornell believe. Rather he firmly
believes in the law OF averages-tnat
he is due for break.
Cornell NAV be wee bit Superstitious
to the extent of looking forward to
Tuesdays scrap with more than usual
optimism. for both Sarron and Burl,
coincidentally, have been principals In
some of the widest battles staged In
this bailiwick in years.
Sarron. especially. is we'll qualified to
break the ink if any. Just when in
terest began to bog at Portner's Arena
last Winter, the diminutive Syrian
bobbed up from nowhere. He required
only one bout to gain recognition and
q following.
When other fight clubs were closing
their doors Portner'S began to smash all
previous attendance records. SarronS
two scraps with Tommy Paul, both OF
WHICH were draws, tSldUllSllco Ilc" az
tendance marks for the Alexandria flstic
arena.
His Bouts All Snappy.
DURL also has a powerful recon-
last Fall. Eddie and Jimmy Mack
participated in what unquestionably
was the widest and most dramatic
slugging bee staged hereabout in dec
AIDES Though he never again quite
measured up to that standard, this
CRAVING but improving veteran has yet
to put up a dull fight here.
In view of his recent triumphs, which
have swept him near the top Of the
featherweight division. Sarron figures to
turn back Burl. The latter. however,
has won many experts" to- his side by
his training work. Never, they declare.
has he looked better than in his daily
workouts at the Mohawk Club, and
many have installed him a favorite.
Sarron COnvaIescent.
CARRON, on the other hand, has
not been well Of late and because
of this the scrap was postponed
from tomorrow to Tuesday. Recovering
from an illness, Saron requested the
extra day to regain his strength. He
declares that by Tuesday he will be
ready for Burl.
From both camps come the usual
notes of optimism, especially from the
Burl group, which confidently expects
the Jacksonville jugernaut to upset
the Birmingham buster If he does it
will bring national notice to Burl for
Sarron at present is enjoying high
standing in the fight racket
