Dear Folks,
Well, the wind is still blowing
and it tried to rain all day today,
but couldn't hardly make it.
We went out on another sham
battle Monday and the whole 15Sth
Infantry got captured about sun
up yesterday morning. Each regi-
ment had a boundary that it was
supposed to stay inside of and the
enemy got out of bounds and
took us by surprise from the
rear So the battle was over pret-
ty quick for us, and everybody
else for that matter We got back
to camp about II a. N. yesterday.
We are rolling our packs to-
night for we are leaving again in
the morning at 7:15. We don't
know where to or for how long.
The big shots don't tell us that.
Not even the captain knows any
thing about it. He just gets the
orders and gives us break by
letting us know so we can roll
our packs at night instead of hav-
ing to rush around and roll them
of a morning.
Well it is about 10 o'clock so I
better wind up this scribble and
get to bed, guess.
Oh, yes! 1 got the Coolidge
paper yesterday so l guess it is
going to come after all.
The laundry here sure is lot
higher than at Fort Sill. We have
to pay by the pound here and
these winter clothes sure do
weight plenty. We pay Z cents
pound and it costs 35 cents if you
don't send anything but a handker-
chief That is. the minimum.
Well so long and.
Lots of love,
TOM

oNEw YORK. Jan. 30-R :
The fighting record of Clarence
(Red) Burman, while 1t Is not
particularly inspiring, reveals
at least that Red has more bus

had several alleged contenders
who wangled bouts with the

Far be it from this corner to

against him. He'll probably let

Red has been q good, but not

nearly 10 years, starting % q

self into the big class by eating
regularly. Since 1895, when
he began meeting the better
heavyweights, he has won many
more fights than he has lost.
He last was knocked out by
John Henry Lewis in 1896, when
he was q light heavy.
Offhand, Red is more deserv-
ing of a championship shot than
were Jack Roper, Harry Thorn
as, Johnny Paycheck, Al Mccoy
and John Henry Lewis, to list a
few of Louis victims. Nathan
Mann, Arturo Godoy and Tom
my Farr might be added to the
list. Lewis had been q great
fighter, but he was washed up
when he met the Bomber. AS
for Tommy Farr, Burman won
a decision over him in the Gar
den after the Welshman hal
gone his heroic IS rounds with
Louis.
So Burman is long way from
being the softest touch the hard
working champion has encoun
tered. While a veteran in ex-
perience. Red still is young
enough to take a Lot of beating
and there is nothing in his re.
cord to indicate he is a folder

This is about the best that
can be said Of Reds chances.
He has considerable on his side,
