THE SUMNER SEASON
IN HOLLY BEACH
A Talk About the Philadelphia
"Pug'who is Training Here
signs which show That n Summer
Season Is ut Hand.

u Ill coth
of the cleverest six round defenders OF
the manly art, is delighted with his
training quarters and the wonders OF
Holly Beach. In his bout with
Robert Fitzsimmons, a ''peach" in the
pugilistic arena, he hopes to win new
iaurels aud crown himself with glory.
Both men are the very best i'll the box
ing world and have their friends who
count up into the thousands. There
is no mistake about the Australians
wonders in the ring, and many ID
mirers of James J. Corbett, who fought
and "put John l.. Sullivan out" ana
later went ssdown and out" himself
with Fitzsimmons "a winner" VIII
wonder how "Philadelphia Jack"
O'Brien will last six scheduled rounds
with "Lanky Bob.o
But "wonders will eve cease"
Those who saw the fight between Mar
vim Hart, the "Kentucky wonder
and O'Brien, at Goth street and Mont
gomery avenue in Philadelphia In
September of last year, have an idea
that O'Brien will make a new record
for himself. And he's a fellow in the
prize ring to be admired. O'Brien
tipped the beam at 1913 pounds, while
Hart weighed in at 1881 pounds.
O'Brien lasted the six rounds and
punished Hart SO severely that he won
the plaudits of the spectators. In
that fight Hart lost his forfeit of $3.50
which his opponent was to take In the
event O'Brien should last. Hart
event broke,n in the arena verna-
cular, and O'Brien gave his adversary
$75 to pay his expenses home. There
isfrt a mean bone in "Jack'' O'Brien's
body, and those who know him best
like him most.n
Is it a wonder, then, that many of
O'Brien's friends think it possible that
he may last the six rounds with
"Lanky Bob?n
O'Brien, the six-round wonder, is
stopping with friends at the pretty
Grand View Cottage on Pacific ave.
His tent is adjoining, and his daily
exercises include a run of six miles up
and down the beautiful beach every
morning between 10 and IL O'Clock.
In the afternoon he spends ten o r
twelve minutes in punching the bag,
gives eight minutes to chest and pully
exercises about 4 O'Clock, goes through
the shadow work, boxing with an
imaginary adversary, and also hand
ling of the dumb bells. His rowing
exercises out to sea and return con-
sumo part of his mornings work, and
although his bout with Fitzsimmons
is scheduled for July s., at the Phila-
delphia ball park. O'Briel is getting
in fine form, and Fitz will not have "a
walkover."
O'Brien's trainers are Joe Hogan,
the Philadelphia middle-weight, and
Bobby Kearns, feather-weight, who
are working like ~trojans to place their
man in trim for the fight of his life.

The Brock housekeeping apartments
in "Breck Villa' and 'The Towers.u
on Andrew avenue, are renting we'll

Der. These two large, handsome cot
tages are attracting some very desira-
BILE people who are certainly a valua-
BILE acquisition to the summer popula-
ton of Holly Beach. The family of
Rev. G. M. Roberts, associate rector of
