FIGHT ADON|S IS
COMING To TOWN
0'BRIEN AND HIS GLAD RAGS
DUE NEXT WEEK
Philadelphia Jack, Successor to Kid
Mccoy as Handsome Man of
the Ring, Is to Fight
Jack Twin

Broadway swells must needs look to
their laurels for Jack O'Brien is
coming to town.
Jack has the reputation of carrying
ninety-two trunks of glad rags and
changes his raiment five times a day.
And he is in the height of his glory
when permitted to parade his noisy
chevoits before the admiring throngs
of a great city.
Manager Tom McCarey persuaded
Jack to come out of Information in the
frozen north and place himself under
the McCarey wing of protection and
direction during the sunny months of
the Southern California winter season,
which accounts for the prospective
presence of the pugilistic Beau Brum-
mel.
When McCarev became convinced
that Jack was about the best middle
weight and light heavyweight in the
business, he hastened to secure Jacks
signature to articles Of agreement to
, fight that other swell, Jack Twin Sui
! livan, before the Pacific Athletic club
November 28.
Therefore, with the beginning of the
| final week in October, all the pugilistic
stars of the upstate section will turn
their faces to the south and the local
colony will be augmented by the pres
ence of OBrien, Jack Twin, Spider
Kelly AL Kaufman, Billy Delaney and
possibly Marvin Hart and Tommy
Ryan. All these celebrities will be at
the ringside when the gong taps for
the opening of hostilities November 28.
But O'Brien is the dude of the bunch.
| The pugilistic-lawyer is one of the
fandsomest men in the business and
is so pretty that Kid McCoy's heavenly
blue eyes and cute curls are given a
stern chase for beauty medals every
| time these two fashion plates stroll in
to the same vicinity and the artificial
frost which appears is inevitable.
McCareys fight card for November
| is the best that has been offered on
| the coast in years. Beginning eerly
in the month is the Hanlon-Herrera
| fight, scheduled for the third day OF
the month, and the O'Brien-Sullivan
mill is docketed for two days before
! Thanksgiving.
Undoubtedly the OBrien-Sullivan
battle will attract as much, if not
more, interest throughout the country
| as did the O'Brien-Kaufman affair. In
this battle, the crafty Philadelphia
| will not be up against a green young
ster who is easily befuddeled by his
| marvellous foot work and clever boxing,
| but Will race one OF tlle DeSL uueu dt
the weight in the ring today.
Jack Twin is not a pretty boxer, but
like the bedbug he gets there just the
same and the soothing syrup at the
tips of his right and left jab sticks Is
notoriously favorable to period of
inactivity unless carefully avoided,
which is sometimes an impossibility.
Sullivan and O'Brien will enter the
ring fresh from the field of victory
| hni 10 Cf
meeting. This will give them conf
dence and lend zest to the battle. AS
past masters in the game the fight will
be an exhibition seldom seen by the
Southern California fan.
Jack Twin will probably train at the
pavilion as he did while prepping for
the Burns scrap. O'Brien will probably
open training quarters down at North
Beach and it is also probable that
| Spider Kelly, who was in his corner
| Friday night, will remain at the ocean
side to assist and direct training.
