Prove 1t Tuesday.

" WIEN Eddie Burl and Pete

Y Y Washington fight folk
considered the piece de
resistance of the glove-throwing
season at Twin City it only was
warm-up for the test to follow. 1t
was a sensational boxing bout,
nothing more.
In the same ring Tuesday, when
the rival featherweights clash
again, it will be a fight. Hard
feeling, plus the big end Of the
purse will add steam to the gladl-
atorial punches.
This is no ballyhoo. After what has
transpired since Burl defeated Sarron
In the biggest upset in over a year, an
honest-to- goodness grudge battle easily
may be more than a press agents
product.
Sarron claimed and still does, that
he was i'll and weakened before the
previous fight. Burl literally blew up"
and retaliated by branding Pete poor
sport and a way over-rated fighter"
It then was Sarron's turn to explode,
which he did. Thus was created Wash
ington's biggest fistic natural of the
outdoor season.
Although Sarron before the fight de-
clared he was ILL., Burl took the state
ment lightly. Fighters often have been
known thusly to dull the other fel-
lows mental edge and create over
confidence
Fandom Is Divided.
VY1HEN Burl pounded out a well
wv earned victory over Sarron,
astonishing the natives, senti-
ment was about equally divided. Many
persisted in thinking Sarron the batter
fighter when in shape. Others felt Burl
merely turned out to be more than Sar-
ron had bargained for.
For a couple of days Burl would hear
no mere of return bout. He had been
promised a shot at Tommy Paul by
Promoter Charlie Cornell and he meant
to have it. But when Sarron, to use
Eddie's term, "alibied" the defeat Burl
forgot all about Tommy Paul He
wanted Sarron again.
Sarron, about to be shipped to
Michigan along with Les Kennedy and
Billy Jones. others of Manager Jimmy
Erwin's stable couldn't swallow the poeF
sportsmanship statement. He replied
with gusto to Burl. Erwin postponed

Petey's Dander Up.
nETE has beaten better boxers than
Burl. but in few fights has he
cherished victory more. Revenge is
one reason. Another of more i'm
portance is wiping the stain from an
otherwise spotless record for the year.
Should Burl again whip Petey, the
Syrian from Birmingham would face
the rebuilding process all over again
If he means to force himself into the
featherweight championship picture
Normally quiet Sarron now
AYERS to all and sundry he's going to
put Burl away despite the fact that
Eddie has yet to take the count. When
I go into that ring, I'll be in real shape"
says Petey. mo more will I make that
mistake again"
Burl declares the previous fight proved
an idea he entertained all along-that
Sarron was greatly overrated.
Another thing" says this battered,
afbable F1oridian, "Sarron's got to
make 125 pounds the day Of the fight.
I know he don't like that. He's no
featherweisht. He's a Junior light
weight"
So the affair smacks strongly Of the
real thing.
A Pair Of Tough Hombres.
FR. FRANKIE RICE, the Balti-
N more sponge and arnica gent,
will trot out the Monumental
City's newest knockout sensation, Harry
K. o. Brodie, in a siX-rounder on the
Burl- -Sarron card The six-round part
of it, says Mr.. Rice. merely is to be
fA If1,r Iof wit
Irving won't last that long.
Rice's appears a broad statement
when it is considered that Irving is a
pretty tough hombre himself and packs
q mean right of his own. But Rice
has figgers to back him up. Brodie, who
has fought just seven times as pro-
fessional, actually has had only six
minutes Of ring experience.
Every one of his fights ended with
Brodie winning on knockout, the long
est of the scraps lasing only 81 seconds.
Frank Vance, who fought Brodie at
Laurel, holds the doubtful distinction
of having lasted that long. Brodie's
other kayoes range from 18 seconds up.
Another six-rounder listed as the
semi final, schedules Ray Bowen and
Jimmy Reed, while in the usual pair
of fours Sam Lucas tackles Sam
Romano and Jessie Belt engages Al
Park.
Turner Makes Promises.
ADDY JOE TURNER, the rassle
Il maestro. recovered quickly from
the shock Of having a mat show
rained out. Until last Thursday only
once was a show of Senor Turner's
postponed.
Daddy Joe claims his show is even
better this week although very SINH
lar to the rained-out lineup. Turner
managed to savlage his main go-Glno
Garibaldi vs. George zaharias-and
his semi -windup-Joe Stecher VS.. Cow
boy Jack Russell-but he's made minor
changes in two of the three prelimi-
naries.
Heeding to a petition from several of
his righteous customers. Turner has
lifted the old meanie, Frank Spears.
from the card and substituted Sol
Slagel to rassle Pat O'Shocker. When
Joe received the petition last week he
claimed it was too late to fire the
bad mans (Mr. Spears. but the rain,
according to Jose, speeded Spears on his
way. Despite Turner's apparent sin
cerity in pleasing the customers. it
isn't every so-called william who receives
that much attention. Mr.. Spears prob
ably will get a raise.
The Joe Hubba-Dr Karl Sarpolis
bout still goes. but Cliff Olsen will bat
for Abe Coleman against Casey Berger.
