Farewell to M Burke s Chances by Cliff Wheatley
Defeat by Wiggins Last Straw. Burke is criticized as overrated in boxing, with claims from press agents about his strength and speed. The article argues Southern Burke’s claim to the southern light heavyweight title is unfounded and mocks his prospects against real contenders like Chuck Wiggins and Bob Martin. It also shifts to baseball, praising the Giants and Yankees as pennant contenders with the Polo Grounds likely hosting the World Series.
