I SEHINA WHIPS BURMAN EASILY Southpaw Heavyweight Shows Surprising Strength In M in New York. July 3.1 <UR< Mello i Bettlna. a *<|uat. swarthy *outh|mw with dynamite In his left fist, paged . | Hilly Conn and Joe lamia today — with «>mhl reason r This portside belter from Beacon. N Y„ proved emphatically last I night that he la a menacing contender for the heavyweight crown Mauling Mello, former light heavyweight king, gave rugged Red Burman of Baltimore the worst heating of his career before 10.847 fans at Kbbeia Field In the in round fight. Baltimore Red Jack Dempsey's protege absorbed fat more punishment than In his abbreviated January bout with Champion lamia or in any other brawl It la still a mystery how the blood smeared, groggy gladiator managed to remain on his feet while Hettlna battered him for an amailngly easy decision. The 25-year-old Italian's showing , was amazing because he had entered the ring a 4-5 underdog, Hurman was favored to win. for although Bettlna had won all 23 of his heavyweight fights, never before had he met a heavy of Burman’s ability and reputation. TJie smart-money boya had their bundles on tough, lion-hearted Burman the man who licked Tommy Farr — the man who chased Joe lamia until the champion exploded a right-hand grenade in his belly In the ninth round, But In the early going last night at the Bnaiklyn Dodgers' ball pork. It seemeil that Bettlna would dispose of Burman more quickly than lamia did Fighting out of a low crouch. Mello staggered his man i twice In the first round with straight left smashes to the head In the second session, the aouthpaw had Burman groggy in a corner and then belted his swaying opponent about the ring. Hr kept after him In the third. Burman rallied a bit In the fourth and l*oth fell through the rope* onto the ring apron Red was virtually out on > his feet in the fifth, but he rallied , to fight on even terms in the sixth iand then took a terrible beating In the seventh. Again the game Irishman came l>a< k to shade Beilina In the eighth, the only round he won. Bui In the ninth Mello beat him mercilessly at dose quarters and had him backed helplessly against the rope* during moat of the loth. THE STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. G.B.
