Burl Takes Decision Over
Dougan in PepIess Feature
at POrtner'S.
TIME cIashing of two punchers does

TINE clashing of two punchers does
not always mean a great scrap,
Matchmaker frankie Mann and
nearly 1900 boxing followers
realize today, but if last nights fea-
ture between Eddie Burl and Leroy
Dougan did not measure up to expecta-
tions, a typical Portner's Arena prelim-
mary card more than made up for the
missing action.
Burl and Dougan, apparently aware
of each others wallop, both played safe
and took no chances of stopping the
others best blows. with the result that
a listless eight-round duel resulted. Burl
took the decision.
THE supporting card stole the show,
i all four of the scheduled six
FOUNDERS containing action from
the opening bell. Henry Irving and
Sailor ice Brennan started it off by
battling to a slashing six-round draw.
In the third, Irving struck Brennan low,
flooring the Norfolk youngSter, but after
a minute rest Brennan, green but
willing mixer, resumed the bout and
held his own.
ROddy DAVIS caught a nara rlSnC Oh
the jaw in the first round of his bout
with Bob Cosden and went down for
an eight-count, but rose to give Cos
den the beating of his life during the
ensuing five rounds, winning the de-
cision unanimously.
Doug Swetnam, local featherweight,
found Buddy Grimes body punches too
much and failed to answer the bell for
the fifth round. Grimes was awarded
a technical knockout.
TT remained for Arthur De Beve, vet
eran French ringster, to furnish the
surprise of the evening, however.
De Beve, after taking severe lacing
from young Stumpy Jacobs in the first
came back to earn draw with
the highly touted Hopewell. Va, light
weight.
Burl outclaSsed Dougan in the fea-
ture, which brought cries of 1--WE want
action from the crowd. In the sixth
Burl opened an old cut over Dougan's
eye and, with blood streaming down
his face, the Arkansas leather-pegger
was easy prey for Burl, who let up
