DOUGAN IN SECOND
V0N REEDEN BOUT
Marley, Bowen Also Battle
.Again-Another Sarron-
BurI Go Doubtful.
BY FRANCIS Z. STAN.

TLUSHED by the success, I'm
X ancially and otherwise, of
the Eddie Burl-Petey Sarron
card last week, Promoter
Charlie Cornell presses his luck
with the little fellows this week by
scheduling another pair of feath-
erweights, lie Roy Dougan and
Charlie Won Reeden.
Cornell has every reason to believe
this pair will stage a real scrap Tues
day night. for their first meeting, two
weeks ago, stole the show. They
FLASHED in q six-rounder, which Won
Reeden won by an eyelash. Dougan
promptly requested q return match over
. 10-round route.
Almost as attractive as the main
event is the listed eight round semi
fnAl between Roy Manley and Ray
Bowen. Like the DouganVon Reeden
clash. this is return battle. which
ended quite differently than the pre-
vious Von- -Douean tangle. Man
Ley and Bowen clashed at Portner's
Arena in Alexandria and the affair
lasted only SO seconds. Manley's
power house left encountered Rays jaw
and the local junior welter hit the
noor-coldern a frozen herring.
1t didn't chill Rays spirit, however
Since that evening he's logged Cornell's
heels until he received a return bout
In the six-round preliminaries, Sammy
Lucas will encounter Harry Kid Groves
and Johnny Mays will battle Johnny
HOLES and Bob Lowry will tackle Mike
Scipio.
Sarron Still Trails Burl
CTILL smarting from his unexpected
y defeat by Burl, Sarron is chal-
longing his conqueror to a return
battle on the "winner-take- basis,
but unless Burl changes his plans the
beating is due to rankle for a time in
Petey's memory and the arena is ."out''
one of the best return bouts of recent
years.
For it seems Burl. too, has some
avenging to do, and has requested Pro-
moter Charlie Cornell to get him Benny
Schwartz. who last Winter decisively
whipped Eddie. After that, providing he
wins. Burl wants to battle Tommy Paul.
So it seems Sarron either must wait
or do without.
All of which doesn't please Sarron 20
we'll.
Il went into the ring against Burl
In q weakened condition." explains
Petey. I'VE didn't want to call of
the show after all the hard luck at
Twin-City, so I went through with it.
lost. but I think 1 deserve a return
bout I've beaten Burl once, y'know."
Defeat Blow 10 Sarron.
TINE defeat appears to have hit Sar-
ron pretty hard in view of his
splendid record this year against
fighters ranking higher than Burl There
is some balm for the Syrian's feelings
in that he was generally known to have
been sick almost q week before the
night, but apparently only revenge will
suf1ce for Pete. He received an extra
day to recuperate last week and de-
elared he felt fit as he entered the ring
but Burl's body punching early In the
hight made him sick again.
Burl is treading on the same danger
Gus ground Sarron trod If he is success
full in obtaining the Benny Schwartz
battle. Now sitting pretty as a result
of his victory over the highly-rated
Birmingham buster, Burl is tackling a
dangerous foe in Schwartz, smarter
boxer and a southpaw to boot. In their
fight last Winter Benny easily turned
: back Burl unable to get in close as he
did against Sarron.
Jimmy Erwin. manager Of Sarron, has
not given up hope of inveigling Burl
into the ring. and this week will contact
the Jacksonville juggernaut. However. it
Eddie still wants Schwartz first and
Tommy Paul after Benny. the return
bout may 60 blooey for both Erwin and
Sarron, along with Les Kennedy and
Billy Jones, other proteges OF Erwin,
will pull up stakes and leave Tor other
parts the first week in August.
