BURRIS FACES BIG
BATTLE IN MIXUP
WITH LARRY AVERA
When Ken Burris Is sent' against
Larry Avera in their- schedule eight
round bout a| the Academy, of Music
on next Thursday night, " October
fourth, he will face the toughest bat
tle of his life because Avera is one
of the fastest and cleverest welter
weights In the south, standing second
only to the great Battling Budd, his
former side kick and sparring partner.
However, Burris’ sensational win
over Cole Miller in Florence on Labor.
Day, has given him the necessary con
fidence to meet and hold his own with
the. best, in the opinion of his manager,
who thinks Avera should hot prove
as big a stumbling block in the path
of the local boy as did Miller.
Burris has progressed yvonderfully
since his last bout here which was
with Bobby Wood and fans will hardly ;
recognize him as the same man. His J .
speed is absolutely dazzling and mark
ed improvement is also shown in his
ability to hit hard! with either hand
and from an angle.
Avera, because of his experience and
ring generals up. may stop durris but
friends' of the Dry Pond boy don’t ,
think so. They believe that Avera,
despite • his reputation and admitted <
ability, will travel the same route that
the others before hiip have gone and
that the end of the light will (Snd
nothing between Burris and the welter
weight championship of the south but
Battling Budd, the far famed Atlanta
boy. Burris’ win over Cole Miller gave
him the felterweight championship of
the Carolines and he holds the Ameri
can Legion, belt for the same territory.
Tickets to the bout wilt be placed
on sale at, Starltey and iterr’s Front,
street billiard,parlor on Saturday and
will be limited to one hundred. No
change will be made- in the admission/
price although Avera Is being brought
here at big- expense.
