Frankie Burns Is

After 33. Years
“Oakland" Frankie llurns has been
battling about the coast and other
parts of the. country for the past ilf-

Frankie is close to thirty-three years
of age and started boxing in 1908.
but he seems a lot better than some
of the youngsters on the Pacific
coast who have been making reputa-
tions for themselves the past year or
two.
Recently Frankie decided to invade
the southern part of California and
test out the youngsters. He was suc-
cessful and then tackled Johnny Reis-
ler. the New York lightweight. who
had been going “great guns" in and
around Lou Angeles. It. was quite a
surprise to Reisler and the fans to
have Frankie hand him a trimming
and get the decision.
During his career Burns has met
some of the greatest lightweights in
the country. including “’illlo Ritchie.

Ray Grimes. one of the best. if not the

The Cub's second baseman is a. fine
