HUGH KELLY TO
BEGIN TRAINING
MIDDLEWEIeHT WHO BESTED
0'BRIEN ARRIVES
EXPECTS A HARD BATTLE
VIII Establish Quarters At San Pedro
and Begin Work Today--erea-
gains and Dave Bsrry-Too
Many stars

Hugo Kelly, the Italien fighter whose
chief claim to pueiiistlc fame lies in
the fact that he received decision
over Jack o'Brien, dropped off an over
land train yesterday and after VISIT
ing Manager McCarey's sanctum hied
himself to San Pedro, in an effort to-
discover training quarters suitable for
his preparations to dispose of Tommy
Burns July rs. Kelly was accompa-
MED by j. 8. Hickey, deputy sheriff
Of Chicago, who will look after his
worldly affairs while on the coast.
Kelly appears to be typical product
Of sunny Italy and how he ever con-
nected with the cognomen Of Kelly
should be explained. He is a clean
linibed chap, built rather upon the
lines Of a hit and get away artist than
the bing bang style Of slugger. Kelly
is not disposed to make light of Burns
ability within the roped arena, al
though he Is apparently losing but lit
tie sleep over the possibility of Burns
springing a rude surprise upon him at
the first show in the new pavilion
When told that Burns is of the firm
opinion that his talent really begins to
manifest itself after the tenth gong,
Kelly smiled significantly and = said
that he was laboring under the impress
sion that it was also about the same
way with himself. Anyway, those who
who have looked over the two princi-
pals who appear in the first show Of
the Pacific club are confident that
better or more promising match for a
rafting fight could not have been
made. With the men established at
the beaches the usual junkets to the
training camps will now be in order,
and before the night Of the scrap every
man who has seen the two scrappers
go through their preliminary stunts
will have formed his preferences, the
fight fans taking everything with
grain of salt until he sees the knights
Of the canvas wallop a bag or endeavor
to relieve a sparring partner of his
cranium.
Despite his defeat at the hands of
Mike Schreck, Alex Greggains still has
faith in Dave Barry, and in a letter
received yesterday expresses the hope
Of putting David on with the winner
Of the Kelly-Burns go.
Burns had an extended interview
with Barry at Tacoma a couple Of
months ago, and according to all re-
ports had Barry at his mercy through
out the twenty rounds of milling, al
though he was unable to put his rug
ged opponent down for the count.
While Barry is known as rough and
willing mixer the local club man has
too many stars Of the first magnitude
In sight to consider Barry. Greggains
says that Barry would have won from
Schreck in a common canter, If he had
had an opportunity to become accli-
mated to the thigh altitude of Salt
Lake City" Alex is likewise willing
to bet $1,000 that his man will trounce
any good middleweight McCarey can
entice to Los Angeles. a statement
that appears just trife rash, figuring
on past form.
